Behavioral science faculty in residency training programs have faced shifts in their roles in the last 20 years as a result of a variety of forces impacting residency programs, including the advent of integrated care. What does it mean to work as a behaviorist in your department? Is your work valued or understood? Are you being asked to implement integrated care alongside all of your existing responsibilities? If these are questions you have been asking yourself then this Community Conversation is for you. Come ready to share and discuss how the intersection of integrated care and resident training can be an important and powerful force for positive change in the world of healthcare and in your professional career.

For many of us, the PCBH model is a simple and efficient approach to providing high-quality patient-centered care. However, a variety of myths exist as how to how the model should be applied, such as who is a “good fit”, is this even therapy, and you can only treat small problems, to name a few. In this Community Conversation, the group attempted to bust these Myths of PCBH with our panel of super contributors. Finally, we explored many of the myths posted to the listserv and welcomed all those in attendance to submit their myths as part of the conversation.

Community Conversation: Supporting Medically Complex Patients with Comorbidities During the COVID-19 Pandemic
April 20, 2022

Historically, primary care has been the first line of treatment for those who experience co-occurring mental and chronic health conditions. Often termed “medically complex”, these patients have unique healthcare needs that require providers to operate above and beyond their typical practice. Unsurprisingly, the COVID-19 Pandemic has added a new layer of complexity, leading many providers to continuously evolve in their approach to treatment. In this Community Conversation, we explored these practices for supporting medically complex patients during the COVID-19 Pandemic.

PCBH SIG Quarterly Meeting & Discussion
April 13th, 2022

The development of clinical pathways for specific conditions and/or populations is a recurrent topic at CFHA conferences and in healthcare centers. Join the PCBH SIG for a discussion with Dr. Ogbeide and Dr. Bauman on real clinic experiences implementing pathways, the pros and cons of developing pathways, exploration of ways to foster interdisciplinary collaboration in the process and key considerations regarding health equity and access to care.

Access to behavioral health services in the community has gotten worse during the pandemic, exacerbating the youth mental health crisis. While many BHCs try to deliver services as a bridge to community mental health, more and more BHCs find themselves working towards a bridge to nowhere, as patients face long waitlists and other barriers in the community. Algorithms for BH referrals have to be revisited as pressure to squeeze more patients on the BHC schedules is increasing.
This month we had a facilitated discussion on team-based solutions to a cross-system problem.  A research article on the topic was also discussed.

Creative Funding Strategies for Family-Based Models of Care: Payer and Provider Perspectives

Clinicians and payers alike have historically struggled to extend beyond patient-centered care to engage family members in ways that are meaningful, cost-effective, and efficient with use of time and staffing resources. In this webinar, representatives from a regional health plan in Colorado and an evidence-based population health pediatric model, with providers in San Francisco, come together to discuss current and cutting-edge methods of funding family interventions in primary care settings. The presenters will provide key pieces of evidence that support family interventions’ effectiveness in meeting key outcomes such as reducing avoidable emergency department utilization and hospitalizations and improving condition-specific health markers, as well as sustaining long-term positive outcomes. Presenters will showcase specific examples of how clinicians can connect family interventions delivered in their setting to high-priority goals within health plans and at the state level, align family intervention outcome measures with high-value metrics, negotiate payer contract enhancements, and demonstrate a return on investment.

CFHA Community Conversation

Throughout the years' terms for addressing the cultural factors in human communication have changed. How can we be more inclusive and engaging when we talk with someone from a culture different from our own? Cultural competence. Cultural humility. Cultural safety. What term do you use and why? The purpose of this community conversation is to help you explore your views and terms. Awareness and intention are powerful components of an engaging conversation between an individual seeking care and an individual providing it.

To screen or not to screen for ACEs: … is that the question?

CFHA Pediatrics SIG Meeting
February 28th, 2022

The question in any case is not whether to address ACEs, but how to better do so. The answer might be developing healing-centered strategies around ACEs and mitigating adverse consequences of ACEs. And doing so without contributing to the inequities, stigmatization, and re-traumatization of children and families.

This month’s meeting focused on the pros and cons of ACEs screenings and screening best practices. The Peds SIG discussed screening for PACEs (Positive Childhood Experiences) versus, or in addition to, ACEs and shared an article on the value of integrating ACEs conversations in the pediatric well-child visits as part of the anticipatory guidance.
