Course Description:

This year, Transforming Primary Care will provide strategies for prioritizing and measuring behavioral integration into medicine.  Leadership in the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA), OneCare, and Community Physicians and Behavioral Health practitioners involved in integration activities will discuss specific strategies to help your practice improve medical care, moving Vermont healthcare forward clinically and financially. Participants will review practice assessment, recognize facilitators and barriers to integration, consider the need for a Vermont interprofessional training model for those in practice and in Vermont academic institutions.  An optional workshop day will facilitate practice-specific integration improvement. Additionally we are offering an optional two-part workshop: Staying Ahead of Integration: It’s the Process Not the Provider
