Abstract

In June 2021, the Integrated Behavioral Health (IBH) team was invited by JCIPE to pilot a new series of interprofessional sessions for primary care teams utilizing the ECHO (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes). This model has been utilized and researched worldwide to help with disseminating information across various subject matters within healthcare, with the goal of decreasing health disparities. Through use of subject matter experts, brief didactic education, and case consultations, communities of learners come together to enhance patient care and health outcomes.

The IBH team, which consists of clinicians from behavioral health, primary care, nutrition, occupational therapy, psychiatry, pharmacy, and physical therapy, has collaborated with JCIPE to deliver 5 ECHO series on topics including diabetes, insomnia, chronic pain, weight management, mood disorders, and ADHD.
