Behavioral Health Integrated Support Network (BHISN)
Abstract
This article reviews process and performance of an innovative effort leveraging virtual health to manage unmet demand for behavioral health and substance use disorder services across a large military region. This effort began in June 2022 and included nearly all of the Defense Health Agency Region—Europe’s military behavioral health and substance abuse clinics participating. The two goals of improving access to behavioral health and substance use services for active duty service members and improving utilization of the military clinics were employed. Operational and remote locations with known care gaps could access services as well. Connecting services to the point of need is an established strength of virtual health delivery systems of care.
