The World Congress Annual Leadership Summit on Business Case for Integrating Behavioral Health into Patient-Centered Primary Care and Medical Homes

Patient-centered primary care is becoming a way to deliver higher quality and more comprehensive, coordinated care across the health care spectrum. Despite our knowledge that behavioral health and health behavior issues are large and poorly managed contributors to excessive unnecessary cost, the issue of cost effective, integrated primary and behavioral health has received insufficient attention.

The evidence and business case for integrating behavioral health in the primary care setting is growing. Addressing behavioral health and health behavior problems in Patient-Centered Medical Homes and in an ACO offers an opportunity to not only improve the coordination and quality of care, but lower the overall cost of care as well as keep pace with an industry rapidly moving to paying for outcomes and global payment.

The World Congress Leadership Summit on Integrating Behavioral Health into Patient-Centered Primary Care and Medical Homes will bring together leaders and experts in policy, primary care, behavioral care and the payer communities to discuss what you need to do to integrate systems in a Medical Home, partner with your payer, engage patients, and to measure the effectiveness of redesigned care. Payment for integrated behavioral health care, a long time barrier to moving forward, will be tackled head on with viewpoints from the commercial and public payer sectors that are recognizing the value of these new programs and are paying for them.
