The Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) has just posted a prospectus and announced an informational call for the new Collaborative program – Optimize Primary Care Teams to Meet Patients’ Medical AND Behavioral Needs.
As you may recall, IHI is partnering with the MacColl Center for Health Care Innovation for this 12-month Collaborative, which launches February 19, 2015. The Collaborative, created to improve primary care’s ability to care for the full range of patient needs, is based on IHI’s work on integrating behavioral health and primary care as well as evidence and insights assembled by the MacColl Center through Primary Care Teams: Learning from Effective Ambulatory Practices (PCT-LEAP), a national program which studied exemplary primary care practices across the US.
Please review the prospectus and sign up to join us for an informational call on November 14, 2014, at 12:00 PM EST.
