Summary
This presentation will take the form of a moderated panel discussion, bringing together leaders from some of the most established IBH programs across the state of WA (Community Health of Central Washington, Health Point, Swedish Medical, and Yakima Valley Farmworkers Clinic). These leaders will discuss subtle differences in how behavioral health is structured and implemented at their respective clinics, which include both small and large primary care clinics, in both urban and rural areas, as well as specialty clinics located within larger medical centers. Key discussion points will include differences in scheduling and program structure, specific type of behavioral health services provided, and best pieces of advice for IBH programs of varying sizes, types, and stages of development. Panelists will also discuss implications of program structure on the overarching goal of providing high quality, equitable behavioral healthcare to all. The final portion of the presentation will be reserved for an open Q&A session where audience members will be invited to ask the experts questions related to IBH program development and/or implementation.
