More than 100 randomized controlled trials have shown that the Collaborative Care Model (CoCM) is effective for managing depression and other mental health conditions in primary and specialty medical settings. In this session, you’ll learn key considerations, steps and program requirements for implementing CoCM. It will help you ensure financial sustainability while maintaining fidelity to the model. The presenters will share an implementation checklist, registry decision tree, billing summary and other tools to assess readiness and guide implementation within your own health system.

The training will also explore how CoCM has expanded to address a broader range of conditions. The presenters will share best practices for adoption and sustainability. They’ll use real-world examples from their work with hundreds of organizations and tailor the discussions to your interests.
