Behavioral Health as a Total Cost of Care Strategy

Behavioral health is often viewed primarily as an access challenge. For organizations that operate as both health plans and care delivery organizations, behavioral health also has significant implications for quality, patient outcomes and total cost of care. 

This webinar explores how integrated healthcare organizations are incorporating behavioral health into broader population health and value-based care strategies. Participants will hear an independent perspective on the economic and operational challenges facing payer-provider organizations and learn how a coordinated approach to screening, triage, self-guided support and clinical care can strengthen behavioral health integration across the continuum. 

Wren Withers of Select Health and Intermountain Health will share practical lessons from his experience implementing a unified behavioral health strategy across health plan and care delivery settings. Attendees will gain insights into opportunities to improve care, enhance the patient experience and support organizational performance.  

The session will conclude with a moderated discussion and audience Q&A.
