The Collaborative Care Model (CoCM) is an evidence-based model for treating common behavioral health problems like depression and anxiety in primary and specialty care settings including pediatrics, geriatrics, and reproductive health. Despite 90 randomized controlled trials demonstrating its effectiveness over the past 20 years, myths about the model persist. This presentation will bust several commons myths including: We’re already treating depression and don’t need to do anything differently. We already work collaboratively. Patients will get better care from a specialist.
