The presentation explores the transformative power of Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics (CCBHCs) in driving integrated healthcare delivery through a data-driven tiered approach to care coordination. Grounded in the principles of patient-centered care and whole person health, and supported by existing literature on integrated care models, the presentation explains how providers can use existing data sources to develop and implement innovative care coordination strategies. Attendees, including healthcare administrators, clinicians, and policymakers, will gain insights into the use of data to drive integrated care coordination and the rationale behind adopting a tiered approach within their organizations. Through real-world case studies and practical strategies, participants will learn how to optimize patient outcomes, break down silos between service providers, and foster collaborative solutions, ultimately advancing the pursuit of whole person care within integrated healthcare settings.
