Name
L10 - Leveraging Innovation to Support Integration: Enhancing Competency-based Training for Behavioral Health Providers and Collaborative Care Managers in VHA Integrated Primary Care
Description

The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) recently enhanced multiple phases of its national Competency-based Training (CT) for Integrated Primary Care (IPC) through which more than 4500 healthcare professionals have been trained since CT’s inception in 2017. This presentation will cover innovations to the concurrent training of collaborative care managers and behavioral health providers as a foundation for optimizing patient care and improving team functioning in integrated care settings. We will discuss the iterative process of CT development, key data on participant ratings of training satisfaction and applicability of knowledge, as well as pass rates of role plays to demonstrate key competencies. Our target audience is those interested in methods for training integrated healthcare team members for high fidelity and collaborative practice, and attendees will learn about innovative methods for enhancing content while reducing cognitive load for trainers and participants.
