Implementing Collaborative Care (“Base Training”)

Implementing Collaborative Care (“Base Training”) is designed for Patient-Centered Medical Home-designated practices that have completed the Collaborative Care Model (CoCM) practice assessment with a determination that the practice is ready for implementation. This training is intended to help the primary care physicians, psychiatric consultants, behavioral health care managers, and other primary care practice team members gain the foundational knowledge and skills for implementing CoCM. After completing this activity, participants will be able to translate key processes within their practice setting and integrate CoCM into patient visits.

Completion of training is required for implementation of the CoCM model.
