Delivering Quality Integrated Care with an Emphasis on Patient and Family Engagement (PFE)

Addressing a person's physical and behavioral health is vital for positive health outcomes and cost-effective care. Integrated care is an effective model because it houses primary care and behavioral health services in one setting. This model also supports a team-based approach to care delivery, as it combines the various field expertise of clinicians with input from patients and their caregivers. 

Join us as Acacia Network, an exemplar practice in the Care Transitions PTN, shares their model of integrated care and how the patient voice has influenced their strategy for comprehensive care delivery!
