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. 

Collaborative Aims

During the 60-minute informational call on November 14, you’ll learn more about the Collaborative aims and what participants will be able to do within 12 months with their pilot sites, including:

  • Segment the population and understand the needs, barriers, and interventions;
  • Optimize the primary care team to support integrated medical and behavioral health care;
  • Improve medical and behavioral health integration and care experience;
  • Identify appropriate financial models to fund this transition; and
  • Develop a plan to scale up and sustain the new model.
