Show Notes
In this episode of Your Health University, Jamie sits down with Dr. Jimmie Williamson, Chief Behavioral Health Officer at Your Health, to break down why behavioral health belongs inside primary care—not outside it. Jimmie explains how telehealth lowered stigma, how mental health diagnoses (“F codes”) often correlate with frequent ER use, and why Your Health moved from intuition to data-driven referral models using tools like Power BI. They also map the full behavioral health ecosystem—from psych nurse practitioners to therapists to the psych pharmacist—and clarify when and how teams should refer patients for the right level of support. The takeaway is simple: earlier behavioral health intervention can improve lives, reduce hospital visits, and strengthen value-based care outcomes system-wide.
