2022 Extended Learning Opportunities

Collaborative Care Model Bootcamp

Description

The Collaborative Care Model Bootcamp will cover the basic components for implementation to fidelity. This will include the required team members and their roles, the fundamentals of measurement-based treatment to target, brief psychotherapeutic interventions, registry management, and the psychiatric consultant’s weekly caseload review. Combined and implemented to fidelity, the primary care-based team will be poised to bill the CPT codes for the model and bring effective behavioral health care to a larger population in need of care for specific diagnoses. The ELO will be taught by representatives of the core members of the CoCM team: a primary care provider (Jenn Thomas MD), a behavioral care manager (Monica Harrison LCSW), and a psychiatric consultant (Lori Raney MD). The audience will have an opportunity for role plays and the experience of the registry review process. Ample time will be provided for questions and discussion. This ELO is a good compliment to the Advanced CoCM course that will be provided too.

Objectives

Upon completion of this activity, learners will be able to:

• List the core team members and describe their roles in the collaborative care model
• Define the validated measurement tools used most frequently in providing collaborative care and their cut-off points for effectiveness
• Discuss the core data points in the registry that prompt treatment intervention and adjustment of care

Advanced Skills for Collaborative Care Clinicians

Description

This session is an interactive dive into advanced skills for Collaborative Care clinicians, including primary care providers, behavioral health clinicians, and psychiatric consultants as well as implementation leaders. The session will be activity based. Activities include creating an elevator pitch to effectively introduce Collaborative Care and your role to patients and colleagues; effective systematic caseload review skills; and diagnosing and overcoming clinical and implementation challenges. Participants will be encouraged to bring their own challenges and questions for discussion and problem-solving as a group.

Objectives

• Describe CoCM, the clinician team roles, and the principles underlying the model’s effectiveness
• Communicate effectively with patients and colleagues about CoCM and their role.
• Discuss the key elements of effective systematic caseload review, common challenges, and solutions.
• Identify, diagnose, and implement interventions for clinical and implementation challenges.

New Psychotherapeutic Techniques for Chronic Pain: An Advanced Course

Description

Recent controlled trials have documented relief of chronic pain (not merely improved coping) from two new forms of psychotherapy that focus on trauma, stressful personality traits, unrecognized negative emotions, psychosocial triggers and limitations in self-care skills. The techniques lend themselves to an integrated primary care environment as well as to patients with medically unexplained non-pain symptoms or chronic functional syndromes such as irritable bowel and fibromyalgia. The program will enable attendees to use these concepts in clinical practice and then further develop their expertise from interacting with future patients.

Objectives

Upon completion of this activity, learners will be able to:

• Recognize which forms of pain/illness can respond to the new psychotherapies
• Be able to use the techniques of Pain Reprocessing Therapy for these patients
• Be able to use the techniques of Emotional Awareness and Expression Therapy for these patients

Putting the Surgeon General’s Pediatric Mental Health Crisis Advisory into Action: Practical Approaches, Tools, and Technical Assistance

Description

Empirical evidence supports the gut feeling that many pediatric providers are noticing – we are experiencing a pediatric mental health crisis. Join the CFHA Pediatric SIG for an engaging and experiential ELO as we boldly chart a course forward. Through didactic, reflective, and small group work, you will learn practical tools and build a personal action plan for implementing the recommendations from the 2021 Surgeon General’s advisory on the youth mental health crisis in your own practice. Leaders in pediatric integrated care will help you build-in strategies to balance implementation of your plan with the collective burnout providers are experiencing.

Objectives

Upon completion of this activity, learners will be able to:

• Summarize key guidance for healthcare workers from the 2021 Surgeon General’s report on the pediatric mental health crisis.
• In a small group format, access technical assistance from leaders in pediatric integrated care to generate creative and practical solutions to implementing the recommendations from the Surgeon’s General’s report.
• Develop a personal action plan to address the pediatric mental health crisis in the participant’s own setting that also shields against burnout.

“Next Level” Methods for Integrated Care Research: Innovations from Implementation Science

Description

Evaluating evidence-based interventions in the complex and dynamic real-world of health care presents significant challenges. In this advanced research workshop, participants will learn how the latest methods from implementation science can help them design more sophisticated and exacting studies in health care settings. Dr. JD Smith, a national expert in implementation science and Associate Editor for Families, Systems, & Health, will present three key innovative tools/methods to improve the rigor of research by specifying mechanisms of change, tracking implementation strategies, and engaging stakeholders. The format will include presentation of tools with examples and opportunities to workshop ideas and ask questions.

Objectives

Upon completion of this activity, learners will be able to:

• Use the Implementation Research Logic Model to plan an implementation study.
• Effectively track the necessary strategy details and modifications to understand the process and impact of an implementation effort.
• Engage diverse stakeholders in a rigorous process for selecting implementation strategies.
