Join in Discussion on Integrated Care

Published Online:18 Feb 2011https://doi.org/10.1176/pn.46.4.psychnews_46_4_46_3

Join the discussion group for psychiatrists working at the interface of primary care and mental and behavioral health at APA's 2011 annual meeting in Honolulu on Sunday, May 15. (Time and location will be announced in a future issue.)

This forum will allow for dialogue about both the work psychiatrists do with primary care colleagues in integrated settings and the primary care considerations facing psychiatrists in mental health practices. Psychiatrists working in these settings will have an opportunity to exchange ideas and network.

Leading the discussion will be Jurgen Unutzer, M.D., the principal investigator for Project IMPACT and vice chair of psychiatry at the University of Washington, and Lori Raney, M.D., the medical director of Axis Health System in Durango, Colo.

The conversation is sure to be timely and useful in this era of health care reform. Psychiatric leadership is crucial to making health care reform successful and to attaining the long-sought goal of closing the mortality gap for persons with mental illness.
