Integrated Care in Action: Models, Roles, and Best Practices

As mental and physical health continue to intersect, integrated care is no longer a future goal, it’s a present necessity for healthcare organizations. Participants can join this session to explore strategies for promoting integrated care within their organizations.  

Whether organizations are hoping to enhance an existing approach or build a program from the ground up, this session will equip attendees with the insights needed to drive stronger collaboration and improve outcomes across care teams.

Learning objectives:  

• Define key models of integrated behavioral health and differentiate between the common models, including the co-located and consultative model, primary care model, collaborative care model, and the fully integrated model.
• Describe the primary roles and responsibilities of the interdisciplinary team involved in each of the models, including primary care providers, behavioral health clinicians, psychiatric consultants, and ancillary team members.
• Identify best practices for implementing integrated care workflows, including care coordination, screening, and the use of measurement-based tools such as the PHQ-9, GAD-7, CSSRS, and the AUDIT-C.
