Behavioral Health Integration (BHI), Patient Satisfaction, and Advancing Care Information
Summer 2017 Quality Improvement Workshops are now open for registration!
Join us to learn about services you can provide to your patients to promote health and wellness. Patients with behavioral health issues are challenging to treat and consume a disproportionate share of resources. There is a tremendous opportunity to improve their care by embracing behavioral health integration. We’ll be discussing how to take advantage of new billing codes to improve behavioral health services, improving patient satisfaction, and advancing care information.
