IBH In Action: Trends from the Field

The AHRQ Integration Academy hosts a high-impact webinar on emerging trends in Integrated Behavioral Health (IBH). Join national experts Jeff Reiter, PhD, ABPP (Whole Team Consulting Services), Sara Barker, MPH (AIMS Center, University of Washington), and Neftali Serrano, PsyD (Collaborative Family Healthcare Association), for a discussion of how integrated care is evolving in response to real-world practice pressures and system-level change. Sara Barker shares on-the-ground innovations in Collaborative Care, including model adaptations, workforce solutions, and the critical elements needed for successful and sustainable implementation. Dr. Reiter tackles one of integrated care’s toughest problems: over-reliance on referrals for complex patients, and how primary care teams can build capacity and treat with greater confidence and skill. Dr. Serrano spotlights what’s next for PCBH and CoCM—where today’s practice breaks from the evidence and how AI, workforce dynamics, and primary care team redesign will reshape the field over the next five years. This is a must-watch event for clinicians, leaders, and policymakers working at the forefront of integrated care.
