Educational Goal
Participants will gain competency in integrating behavioral health in a physical healthcare setting.
Description
Integrating primary care and behavioral health may, on the surface, seem like a simple undertaking: place well-trained licensed behavioral health staff into a primary care office and have the primary care providers refer patients who have been identified with behavioral health concerns. The process is quite intensive. It must adhere to a rigorous re-alignment of workflows that interject key processes that can seem foreign to the typical primary care office environment. This first in a 3 part series of 90-minute webinars will provide an introduction to integrated physical and behavioral health care, including the rationale for integration, evidence base and common models of integration, key elements for success, and team member roles and responsibilities.
