Wednesday, Jan. 28, 2015 at 3:30 PM – 5 PM EST – Just in time for those planning to apply for SAMHSA’s $1.6 million Primary and Behavioral Health Care Integration (PBHCI) opportunity, our integration experts will discuss key factors for successfully planning, coordinating, and delivering integrated healthcare to high need, vulnerable populations in any setting.

Our panel of experts will explore critical considerations for successful outreach, engagement, and treatment, including:
• Key considerations for culturally responsive health care based on federally mandated CLAS standards
• Effectively hiring, training, and managing integrated teams—the “who, what, and how” of delivering integrated care
• Strategies for incorporating effective health promotion and chronic disease management practices, and
• Critical factors related to compliance with treatment protocols and practice standards
