Creating value through collaboration has been a topic of concern over the last 50 years as the spending in health care has increased. The goal is to provide quality and affordability and because of past efforts, enrollment increased drastically while it created a shortage of providers. Integrating behavioral and medical health has not been properly addressed due to stigmas and lack of education. Behavior health is more common today and costly.

Clinical practice guidelines are statements that include statements to improve patient care. They are the evidence of systematic review and an assessment of the benefits and harms of alternative care options.
