  1. The Quality of Behavioral Healthcare: "A Drive for Change Through Research" Clearwater Beach, FL: April 13-14, 2010

Event
#1
Detail:



Preconference methods workshops will take place on April 12, 2010.

The gaps between research, practice and policy, in all configurations, significantly impair the rapidity of progress for improving health care quality. Given the tremendous disease burdens associated with drug abuse, problem alcohol and mental health conditions, and the impact of these conditions on other medical disorders, greater research focus is needed to align:

  • consumer preferences and values in care
  • improved care coordination across providers and service sectors
  • implementation strategies and workforce development to accelerate the adoption of evidence-based practices
  • approaches highlighting how purchasers and employers might encourage delivery of high-quality behavioral healthcare

This scientific conference will encourage linkages between these often separate areas of behavioral services research into a more integrative behavioral health services research [BHSR] platform.

The conference, the second in a three-year series, continues the effort to:

  • Develop a collaborative and strategic research agenda to improve the quality of behavioral healthcare to people (across the life span) who suffer from drug abuse, problematic alcohol use, and mental health problems
  • Engage and partner researchers and other key stakeholders such as afflicted individuals, families, providers, policymakers, and communities to contribute to and implement a quality improvement agenda

A 'virtual collaboratory' will also be used to connect conference participants and to encourage and support the development of new research teams.

Currently there is no one place for addictions, mental health and alcohol services researchers to meet exclusively and at one time on shared priority topics germane to BHSR. No professional group or association for BHSR exists. Common problems abound and often work does not cross the disciplines, so this conference will highlight innovative strategies to improve the quality of behavioral healthcare focusing on research examining:

  • issues of access to care and care coordination
  • the implementation of evidence-based practices
  • improvements in the measurement of quality outcomes
  • financing methods and systems change focused on improving care quality

Topics

  • Implementation of Evidence-based Care
  • Adaptations of Interventions for Cultural Groups
  • Quality Measurement: Methods, Measures and Validation
  • Treatment Access and Engagement
  • Care Coordination with Primary Healthcare
  • Efforts to Address Service Disparities
  • Care Coordination across Systems
  • Implementation of Patient-Centered Services
  • Infrastructure Development to Monitor Quality of Care
  • Implementation of Processes to Improve Care
  • Economic Incentives to Improve Quality of Care
  • Role of MH/Addictions in Healthcare Reform


Deadline for abstracts or proposals: 12/4/2009.
