TEAM UP — building the field of knowledge about best practices in integrated care in pediatrics.
The TEAM UP Model is a proven model that has demonstrated positive outcomes for children and families. Multiple studies show that TEAM UP practices identify and address behavioral health needs early and effectively within the pediatric medical home. Children are screened for behavioral health concerns at more than 90 percent of well child visits, and are often connected to same-day, on-site care when a concern is identified. This integrated approach improves access, enhances mental health outcomes, and supports better quality of life and school attendance for children and adolescents. TEAM UP has also reduced provider burnout, increased professional fulfillment, and strengthened engagement in primary care without increasing the total cost of care.
