Collaborative Care (CoCM) was first conceived about 30 years ago at the University of Washington. Since then, over 90 randomized controlled trials worldwide have proven that it is significantly more effective at treating mental health conditions in medical settings like primary care than usual care. The AIMS Center has spent 20 years supporting hundreds of healthcare organizations implementing CoCM for various behavioral health conditions experienced by diverse patient populations. We have learned some things along the way and this session will share those lessons.
