This presentation will explore how technology-enabled care is breaking traditional barriers to integrated behavioral health, expanding access while supporting workforce sustainability. By leveraging Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM), Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (RTM), and the Collaborative Care Model (CoCM), clinics can increase patient engagement, enhance measurement-based care, and scale mental health services efficiently. Using real-world case studies from Wellness Connection, attendees will learn practical strategies for implementing remote monitoring and digital tools to improve behavioral health outcomes while maintaining financial sustainability. This session will provide actionable insights into how technology can redefine access, improve care coordination, and support underserved populations in primary care settings.
