Behavioral Health at MSHP

MSHP's Care Management Team is a specialized group of nurses, social workers, and care coordinators available to help your patients navigate care, overcome social and economic barriers to health, and improve health literacy. Home Health services are also available.

Learn more or refer any patient who could use extra support by calling 212-241-7228 or emailing MSHPCMReferral@mountsinai.org.

Pharmacists are key members of the care team who can prescribe/adjust medications in collaboration with the PCP and specialist. They are available to assist with chronic disease management, including heart failure, hypertension, diabetes, and COPD, as well as to do medication reconciliation, adherence, adherence, and polypharmacy counseling. Learn more about available pharmacy services for your patients.

Patients should be screened for depression using the PHQ-2/PHQ-9 and referred to psychiatric services through their current care pathway depending on their clinic. Individuals with chronic conditions are 2-5 times more likely to have anxiety and depressive disorders compared with the general population, and increased recognition and treatment is essential.

Find medication information including dosages and medications to avoid, preventive care guidelines for your heart failure patients, information about ischemic evaluation and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).

Not sure when to refer to specialty care? We have a quick guide for that.

Consider a specialty-level palliative care referral for patients who meet any of these criteria:

• NYHA class III/IV symptoms with frequent heart failure readmissions
• Anxiety or depression adversely affecting quality of life or ability to make decisions about their illness
• Assistance with decisions making regarding advanced therapies (LVAD, transplant, inotropic therapy)
