This online series will focus on the reverse integration process and provide details on how to implement this new model of care. It is offered as an FREE online series that is self-paced with 5 modules to choose from. 

The integration of behavioral health care into primary care is now widely considered an effective strategy for improving outcomes for patients with physical and behavioral health conditions. Reverse integration of primary care into behavioral healthcare is another form of integration that produces improved quality of care and patient outcomes.

Participants will learn the benefits of this model of care, how to use electronic health records (EHRs) to improve continuity of care in an integrated setting, how to integrate physical health assessments into EHRs, the financial aspects of integrated care, as well as other clinical and operational aspects of providing this model of care.
