Description

With concerns around mental health conditions in the U.S. steadily increasing over the last few years, we’ve witnessed greater prioritization of mental health care alongside patients' physical health. This growing awareness around the national state of mental health care calls for a healthcare environment designed to treat mental and physical health with equal importance, ensuring a holistic, patient-centered approach. This panel will provide insights from health system leaders and clinicians on strategies and challenges for implementing a collaborative care delivery program that caters to a wider array of patient needs. Key topics will include the benefits of taking a holistic approach to patient care and the significance of building out robust programs that ensure successful care coordination between therapists, psychiatrists, and other healthcare providers. Panelists will also discuss the role that comprehensive insurance coverage plays in driving affordability and how measurement-informed care works to support clinicians in providing high quality care. By fostering an interconnected system that works together throughout the entire care journey, we can enhance patient outcomes and provide a more seamless, supportive experience for patients.
