President/CEO Meridian HealthCare Youngstown, Ohio
Integration of behavioral and primary health care is essential in our new, redefined health care system. Organizations that have only provided behavioral health will be exploring the process of developing a strategy to integrate care for their patients. We will help agencies redefine their organizational culture to complete this transition successfully and teach leaders how to identify professional cultures within their organization, engage staff in developing new culture, identify terminology/processes that are in line with the new culture and understand/manage the phases of organizational change.
Learning Objectives:
Benefits of integrated care for your organization and for your patients.
Identify the challenges of transforming a behavioral health agency to an integrated health organization and apply the lessons learned from an organization's journey towards integration.
Develop a strategy to manage a cultural shift in your organization that will assist the transition to an integrated model of care.
