BeHiP Foster Care Learning Collaborative Monthly Call

Thursday, December 1, 2022, 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM, Other, Nashville, TN

AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ (1.00 hours), Non-Physician Attendance (1.00 hours)

These monthly video conferences use cases to discuss approaches to manage the care of children who present with behavioral health issues and are currently in foster care. Key to the success of this collaborative is that the enrolled practices will be able to communicate with one another and learn from each other's management of children with complicated behavioral health concerns in a consultative model with the COE. Over time, enrolled practices should develop more confidence in their ability to care for these more complicated behavioral health patients and should be able to apply their new skills to their general pediatric population, as well.
