Advancing integration of physical and behavioral care, especially for people with chronic conditions, is essential to improve population health outcomes.

Post this

New York, NY (PRWEB) September 22, 2015 -- Epstein Becker Green and EBG Advisors, as part of the Thought Leaders in Population Health Speaker Series, will host a complimentary webinar titled The Challenges and Rewards of Integrating Behavioral Health into Primary Care. This session will provide insights and strategies for optimizing behavioral health data inputs, starting with screening and assessments, incorporation of self-reported and exogenous data, identification and diagnosis of mental health problems in high-risk individuals with chronic comorbidities, and creation of coordinated care plans.

The webinar, scheduled for October 13, 2015, at 12:00 p.m. EDT, will feature:

• Charles A. Coleman, PhD, Senior Sponsor of IBM’s Population Health Insights and Programs Management of IBM’s Healthcare Solutions Board.
• Steven R. Daviss, MD, DFAPA, Chief Medical Officer at M3 Information, LLC, a DC-based mobile mental health information technology company that developed the peer-reviewed multi-dimensional, patient-centered mental health screening tool, M3Clinician.
• Mark E. Lutes, Member of the Firm and Chair of Epstein Becker Green’s Board of Directors, as moderator.

Although mental health and substance abuse (behavioral health) services have historically been segregated from traditional medical care, its impact on patients’ well-being, physical health and cost-of-care has become increasingly critical to improving clinical quality outcomes while significantly decreasing financial costs by tens of billions of dollars. Drs. Daviss and Coleman will discuss the advances in policy and practice regarding the integration of behavioral health with physical health, as well as some of the gaps in identifying, aggregating, and analyzing data critical to a more holistic and comprehensive view of the individual. In addition, the speakers will:

• Identify the clinical, legal, social, and financial impacts of behavioral health disorders on chronic medical conditions.
• Describe the challenges involved in improving clinical and financial outcomes in patients with chronic medical conditions who also have behavioral health symptoms and/or conditions.
• Demonstrate the rewards for implementing new information technology applications and analysis for better clinical and financial outcomes for these specific populations.

The Thought Leaders in Population Health Speaker Series offers participants information and insight on how population health strategies are transforming the health care paradigm as the industry moves toward clinical integration and value-based purchasing.
