Caring for People with Mental Health and Substance Use Disorders in Primary Care Settings: A Virtual Workshop

Completed

The Forum on Mental Health and Substance Use Disorders hosted a virtual public workshop that examined approaches to facilitate the delivery of essential components of care for people with mental health and substance use disorders in primary care settings. Due to COVID-19, this workshop was held virtually via webinars on June 3, 2020 and July 29, 2020.

Description

A planning committee of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine will organize and host a one-day public workshop that will examine care models and payment strategies to facilitate the delivery of essential components of care for people with mental health and substance use disorders. Using a small set of tracer conditions with high prevalence or high impact on quality of life (such as depression, alcohol and substance use disorders, and early psychosis), the workshop will feature invited presentations and panel discussions on topics that may include:

  • Efforts to define essential components of care for people with mental health and substance use disorders in the primary care setting
  • Opportunities to build the health care workforce and delivery models that incorporate those essential components of care
  • Financial incentives and payment structures to support the implementation of those care models, including value-based payment strategies
  • Potential policy measures to ensure broad adoption and sustainability of these care models and payment structures
  • Data needed to monitor implementation and address key knowledge gaps

The planning committee will develop the agenda for the workshop sessions, select and invite speakers and discussants, and moderate the discussions. A proceedings of the presentations and discussions at the workshop will be prepared by a designated rapporteur in accordance with institutional guidelines.
