DC-based Medical Home Development Group, which successfully piloted CRISP DC HIE’s consent management tool, will discuss how it used the tool in its workflow and lessons learned. CRISP DC will also join the session to highlight key features and benefits of the consent management tool.
This session will focus on enhancing care coordination for patients with SUD and the importance of gaining permission to release information. We will review scenarios such as:
A 35-year-old patient is seeing her PCP. The patient has Type I diabetes and has been much better controlled since she has been in treatment for OUD for the past 5 years. Recently, the patient experienced some life stressors, lapsed and has not been back to treatment for two weeks.
A 60-year-old patient has just recently started treatment for co-occurring depression and AUD after discussing treatment for many years with the PCP. He has hypertension and diabetes, and the alcohol use has been exacerbating these conditions for years. The PCP is concerned about the patient’s ability to stay in treatment as the patient has recently lost his job and is separating from his partner of many years.
Staying informed of a patient’s recovery status can impact how you treat other health conditions and is an important component of their overall care. Have you hit barriers when trying to get the clinical information you need care for your patient? Are you aware of the new pathway to obtain this information? In this session, we will focus on consent management, how to talk with your patients about consent, the basics of 42 CFR Part 2, myth busting, use cases, and FAQs. We will introduce CRISP DC’s Consent Management tool, including a history of its development, gaps it will address, and key features and why this is a priority in the District.
This highly interactive webinar will address the structure of the BHC visit from PCP screening for behavioral health conditions and implementing a warm handoff to the steps BHCs take when conducting a rapid and targeted functional assessment.
A provider will demonstrate how it has decided to use the tools provided by AmeriHealth to start looking at integrated care outcomes. There will be time for audience questions and answers after a brief presentation.
We will talk with Dr. Yavar Moghimi, Chief Psychiatric Medical Officer of AmeriHealth Caritas about why integrated care is important and the ways AmeriHealth is working with providers to identify and ultimately achieve key physical and behavioral health outcomes. There will be time for audience questions and answers after a brief interview-style presentation.
What’s the link between pay for performance and healthy eating on a budget? What about the link between quality metrics and understanding nutrition labels? These are all related topics that providers and practices address every day! Care teams work 1:1 with patients to better manage their chronic diseases while at the same time, measuring and reporting outcomes that are related to payments and incentives. During this webinar, we will make the connection between patient engagement strategies and meeting quality metrics. This webinar is designed for ALL AUDIENCES as everyone has a role in providing high-quality care- from the exam room to the boardroom.
Prior to the webinar, we invite you to view this short video “Bites on a Budget” created by HMA Senior Associate, Brandin Bowden, MSc., as he attempts to build a healthy dinner for under $5. In this #HealthyDinnerChallenge, Brandin puts on his nutrition educator hat to share healthful tips to help your patients and clients navigate the grocery store, increase nutrient intake and promote comfort in the kitchen.
The Primary Care Behavioral Health Consultation model (PCBH) is a psychological approach to population-based clinical health care that is simultaneously co-located, collaborative, and integrated within the primary care clinic. The goal of PCBH is to improve and promote overall health within the general population. This approach is important because approximately half of all patients in primary care present with psychiatric comorbidities, and 60% of psychiatric illness is treated in primary care. This webinar overs the framework of the PCBH model, the behavioral health consultant role, and a day-in-the-life look at integrated care using this model.
Because many women and persons of childbearing age pregnant with SUD may not readily share information with providers and because pregnancy is a period where the motivation for change is extremely high, positioning providers to identify and care for this population has great potential for establishing a recovery path and changing lives. This webinar will review the risks and effects of SUD among women of childbearing age, pregnant and parenting persons and their affected infants, including screening and treatment considerations, breastfeeding decisions and ideal mechanisms for engagement and support of women and other pregnant persons on their recovery journey. We will also cover the short and long-term effects of SUD exposure on the infants, including non-pharmacologic alternative interventions and follow-up considerations.
The Primary Care Behavioral Health Consultation model (PCBH) is a psychological approach to population-based clinical health care that is simultaneously co-located, collaborative, and integrated within the primary care clinic. The goal of PCBH is to improve and promote overall health within the general population. This short take is part of a series titled: A Day in the Life of a Behavioral Health Consultant (BHC) in Primary Care. Viewers will see example workflows for initial and follow up BHC visits including where referrals come from, the steps involved with BHC intervention and closing the loop with the primary care provider.
Universal screening is key to successful detection of who needs further assessment. Additionally most providers are unaware of the power a brie intervention can have or that what they may already be doing with their patients has an evidence base to support it. This webinar will review the difference between screening and assessment and will demonstrate screening, brief intervention and referral to treatment , referred to as SBIRT. We will also review the evidence base for SBIRT and talk to a DC provider who has implemented training on SBIRT in their clinic.

This one-page self-assessment can be utilized before individual or group MAT appointments; this tool aligns with ASAM criteria allowing the provider to plan for the current session and to aid in treatment planning. With a slight modification, this could also be used by persons not on MAT in preparation for individual or group appointments for substance use disorders. Critical questions required for all telehealth appointments are reviewed, such as the address and phone number where the person can be reached today.
The front of this handout reviews what providers need to know, do and have a plan for prior to individual or group telehealth sessions. The back of the handout reviews important features of Zoom (TM) for those staff using Zoom (TM) as a platform for delivering telehealth sessions.
This one-page handout will help patients understand when they will start buprenorphine, based on the last time they used opioids and their current level of symptoms.

This short take talks about the added importance of building trust and integrating culturally and linguistically evidence-informed social, physical and behavioral health services during pregnancy. The short take place particular emphasis on pregnant people who use drugs because historically stigma, racism and other isms have often meant their care has not been clinically appropriate.
This Clinical Guide provides comprehensive, national guidance for optimal management of pregnant and parenting women with opioid use disorder and their infants. The Clinical Guide helps healthcare professionals and patients determine the most clinically appropriate action for a particular situation and informs individualized treatment decisions.
This hour-long presentation will briefly review the empirical evidence on the appropriate use of telebehavioral health and the clinical approaches that have been demonstrated to be effective and/or ineffective. The majority of the presentation will cover the clinical strategies for preparing the clinician for the telehealth visit, including assuring safety, anticipating problems, and engaging the member effectively when on the phone and when on video.
