Webinar: Measurement Based Care Techniques

Relias Learning is hosting a webinar about using measurement based care techniques for integrating behavioral health into primary care. A critical component to success for programs that attempt to integrate behavioral health into primary care settings is the use of measurement based care (MBC) principles. In the same manner that diabetes and hypertension management involve screening for the condition, measuring the severity, and using metrics to measure for improvement, MBC uses validated instruments to measure the severity of mental health and substance use symptoms to provide quantitative clinical feedback regarding progress or lack of progress that is used to drive treatment decisions about medication changes, therapeutic interventions, referrals, and other recommendations. MBC enables the treat-to-target approach that is familiar for other primary care conditions. Presenters for the webinar include Steve Daviss, MD, DFAPA, Chief Medical Informatics Officer, M3 Information and William Emmet, Principal, Emmet Consulting.The webinar will take place on Thursday, October 27, 2016, from 2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. ET.
