Name
Two-Sides of the Same Coin: Considerations for PCBH in Practice in Community vs. Academic Settings
Description

This session will compare two pilot implementations of the Primary Care Behavioral Health (PCBH) model—one in a small community-based primary care clinic and the other in an academic medical primary care clinic. Although both clinics are part of the same health system, their PCBH programs were developed in notably different ways. Participants will explore how planning, implementation, and ongoing monitoring align across the two settings, as well as where they diverge.
