This session is intended primarily for beginning behavioral health providers working in a primary care medical setting (although we will be thrilled to have interested colleagues and collaborators across all disciplines join us and share their experiences and expertise). The primary goal for this session is open Q & A! All sessions require pre-defined learning objectives, so we will begin with a brief (but hopefully relevant and helpful) didactic presentation. First, we will provide a rapid review of the Primary Care Behavioral Health (PCBH) model. Then, we will briefly introduce Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA), a quality improvement model commonly used in healthcare settings, and provide examples of how a BHC might utilize it in their work. We will do our best to maximize the time available for Q & A, so bring your questions and be ready to share your own wisdom!
