For behavioral health providers
The Washington Integrated Care Assessment (WA-ICA) is designed for outpatient primary care and behavioral health sites, including substance use disorder providers. If your site primarily provides behavioral health (mental health and/or substance use disorder) services, consider using the behavioral health version of the assessment.
Resources for implementation
There are many resources and materials to support behavioral health sites in completing the WA-ICA.

- View the Cohort 1 qualitative analysis. This is a combined analysis of both primary care and behavioral health site responses to qualitative assessment questions.
Implementation guide
The implementation guide for behavioral health sites explains how your care team should approach the WA-ICA. While this guide includes information specific to Cohort 1 (which ended in 2022), it also includes helpful information about forming your assessment team and completing the assessment, including detailed interpretations and real-life clinical examples of the different levels of each sub-domain.
Tutorial
Watch a 45-minute video tutorial led by the creator of the tool, Dr. Henry Chung. The tutorial walks through the behavioral health tool and provides practical advice for how to interpret each level of the sub-domains to assist in the application of the tool.
Webinar
