Loss and grief are common and often come up during primary care encounters. Grief can be caused by separations, incapacity, bereavement, migration, job loss, birth, retirement, or professional loss. We will focus on addressing grief related to the loss of a loved one in this webinar. One-third of people affected by loss can experience physical or mental health problems, such as increased risk of heart disease, suicide, psychosomatic disorders, and psychiatric issues. However, loss can also lead to personal growth. Behavioral Health Consultants can help PCPs and patients prepare for grief and build coping skills for better health outcomes.
We often think of the treatment plan as a document to complete. However, it can be a tool to engage and empower the person served in their own recovery process. In this interactive webinar we will learn the core components of the treatment planning process from a person-centered and engagement-focused lens.
There are three main approaches to helping people make a change, directing, following, and a middle-of-the-road approach of guiding.

Understanding, measuring, working to improve quality performance are critical to ensuring that patients have positive outcomes and providers are satisfied—they’re also critical to ensure your practice is meeting its regulatory requirements and maximizing payment opportunities. As the District of Columbia carves in behavioral health care to managed care arrangements and requires more providers to be in value-based care arrangements, it is even more imperative that quality measurement and improvement is understood and infused across your organization—from providers, to leaders, to auxiliary staff.
This two-part series will describe the quality measurement basics and why it matters, and then treatment planning for population health. In Part 1, we will explore why we need to infuse a culture of quality within healthcare organizations, including an understanding of what we value, who we serve, and who we are accountable to. Presenters will emphasize the importance of all staff understanding quality and its impact on our patients, staff and organization. We will review the basics of measurement and key measures in quality focused on integrated care.
