Get Up to Speed About Integrated Care

Want to learn more about integrated care and primary care skills useful in integrated care settings, as well as meet the leading experts in the field? IPS is the meeting for you!
APA members interested in integrated care will have an opportunity to learn more about the continued emphasis on the integration of behavioral health and general medicine and the changing role of psychiatrists at this year’s IPS: The Mental Health Services Conference. It will be held October 8 to 11 at the Sheraton New York Times Square Hotel.

The IPS features a well-rounded track on integrated care; some sessions are new, while others build on well-received sessions from past meetings. Highlights include the ever-popular duo of courses of “Primary Care Skills for Psychiatrists,” chaired by Erik Vanderlip, M.D., on Thursday morning, October 8, and “The Integration of Primary Care and Behavioral Health: Practical Skills for the Consulting Psychiatrist,” which I will chair in the afternoon.
There are a number of sessions on residency training including the workshop “Preparing Residents for the Integration of Mental Health and Primary Care: What Do Residents Want and How Can We Deliver It,” with two more presentations on this topic on Saturday, October 10, with Richard Summers, M.D., and Deb Cowley, M.D., followed by another on Sunday, October 11.
Sessions on Friday, October 9, include lectures by Harsh Trivedi, M.D., titled “Vanderbilt Behavioral Health Population Health Strategy: Lessons Learned from an Integrated, Academic, Statewide Healthcare Delivery System,” and from New York City, Neal Cohen, M.D., and colleagues will inform us about “Medicaid Redesign in New York State: Changing Practice, Changing Lives.”
Venturing into “reverse” integration on Saturday, the forum “Own the Gap: The Psychiatrist’s Role in Reducing Mortality in the SMI Population,” hopes to stimulate lively discussion with leaders in this arena including Ben Druss, M.D., and Joe Parks, M.D.
On Sunday, October 11, Rebecca Miller, Ph.D., and associates will look at the use of peers in integrated settings, and the meeting will close with a final workshop on residency training. Throughout the meeting the continued emphasis on integrated care will be discussed in many other presentations with a unique opportunity for a deep dive into this important and developing area. ■
