STRATEGY 1:
Integrated team-based care
Increase the capacity of current and future health
professionals to integrate physical, behavioral, and oral health, and long-term
care through interdisciplinary, team-based practice. Incorporate understandings of
integrated physical, behavioral, and oral health into all health professional
education programs.
- Expand interprofessional health
education activities among higher education programs (e.g., nursing, social
work, pharmacy, medicine)
- Expand continuing education, supervisor
training, and leadership development to support integrated, team-based care
- Provide continuing education to
behavioral health professionals on assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and/or
referral of physical and oral healthcare issues
- Provide continuing education to primary care providers
on assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and/or referral of behavioral and oral
health issues
STRATEGY 2:
Health system Transformation Concepts
Educate the current and future health care
workforce about the significance of value-based payments, care management,
social determinants of health, health equity, population health, and data
analytics.
- Engage and support higher education partners and
others to develop a “clearinghouse” of content-specific training modules
(for-credit, not-for-credit, or continuing education) that can be delivered in
the classroom, workplace, and/or online.
