SUMMARY
Thank you for your interest in presenting at the 4th annual Integrating Primary and Behavioral Health Care Through the Lens of Prevention Conference (IPBHC). This conference is designed to enhance the national conversation on the role of prevention in the world of health care transformation. Among these are initiatives that integrate behavioral health and primary care, including primary care health homes and behavioral health homes created under provisions of the Affordable Care Act and the integration of prevention services with addiction, mental health, and primary care services. We value proposals that emphasize communities in transition, culturally relevant and responsive prevention in and with primary care, and sustainability through community partnerships, such as healthcare neighborhoods, infrastructure enhancement, and policy development.
The primary focus for the 2019 conference will be to continue discussing how all types of prevention services—substance use prevention, mental health promotion, health and wellness, and primary care–can come together in a comprehensive way to support health for population groups and communities. In 2019, we welcome presentations on a wide spectrum of prevention topics and issues that will spark conversation, support the development of an integrated prevention infrastructure and provide examples of communities where this is happening.
We are looking for workshop submissions that emphasize:
- Local, State and Federal Policy
- How will or does policy need to change to support the concept of Integration Prevention services
- Examples of community policy changes that support this concept
- Conceptual models for the integration through the lens of prevention and across silos
- Practice and/or Service
- How will treatment and prevention practice change in an integrated model
- Examples of integrated addiction prevention and treatment programs
- Examples of integrated prevention services with primary care
- How the law enforcement establishment can improve its police and community service functions with the advent of prevention into primary and behavioral health care
- Administrative/System
- How will the system of health care delivery look through the lens of prevention
- Examples of system integration that incorporates the existing silos of prevention
- Conceptual models for health neighborhoods that integrate prevention services
- Research and Education
- What existing research can be used to guide the various discussions that are needed
- What is needed for the elevator speech
- What new education will the existing workforce need to implement health care integration and the establishment of prevention
