Name
Using the Practice Integration Profile for continuous practice improvement of behavioral health integration in a primary care setting
Description

This proposal is a follow-up to a session given at CFHA in 2024 that presented on using the Practice Integration Profile 2.0 (PIP) in a primary care setting. The results from the original PIP administration identified key practice improvement areas. In collaboration with our clinic leadership, we implemented several changes based on the feedback and identified high priority areas. The presentation will share facilitators and barriers to implementing these changes. We will also present data from a second administration of the PIP 2.0, to be collected Spring 2026.
