Description

This presentation will focus on the planning and implementation of integrated care, emphasizing effective and efficient service delivery and a focus on whole-person care as key indicators of success. By connecting Certified Community Behavorial Health Clinic (CCBHC) standards with organizational strategic planning during the initial planning phases, these components can be strengthened. This approach can help create consistency with organization wide standards and execution of whole-person care. Participants will gain valuable insights into the practical steps and benefits of incorporating CCBHC standards into their organizational strategies. Within this process, specific highlights will be on developing referral partners, establishing protocols, and tracking outcomes of participants.
