Interprofessional Collaboration: Integrated Health Care and Reimbursement

New models of providing professional services are continuing to emerge. While some may be driven by reimbursement systems, others are based on recognizing the value of bringing principles and services grounded in theory, positive health behaviors and interprofessional collaboration to the community, including the underserved.

Using an interview format, supported by slides, two experts will be interviewed. This program will focus on models of integrated care and the unique roles mental health professionals can play in developing and working in such models. Options, challenges and strategies for starting such initiatives will also be addressed for those participants who want to create cutting-edge programs in their locales.
