This dynamic session introduces the AAMC Integrated Behavioral Health (IBH) Playbook, an innovative, action-oriented resource co-developed by the Collaborative Family Healthcare Association (CFHA) and the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) through a national academic learning collaborative. Designed to turn over 500 complex IBH metrics into actionable “plays” and “game plans,” the Playbook equips teams with a flexible, purpose-driven framework to improve care delivery and track outcomes. Grounded in the IBH Compass—Care Continuity, Person-Centered Care, Sustainability, and Growth—it complements, rather than replaces, existing quality improvement and business performance strategies. Participants will gain insight into the Playbook’s development process, hear lessons from top academic training programs, and explore practical ways to align metrics with meaningful, scalable improvements across diverse medical environments.
