The Center of Excellence for Integrated Health Solutions and the American Hospital Association will host the webinar Advancing Integrated Care Via Collaborative Partnerships: Hospitals, Health Systems, Community Mental Health Centers (CMHCs) and Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics (CCBHCs), on Tuesday, Sept. 16, from 2 to 3 p.m. ET. Two behavioral health leaders from University Hospitals will share how the system integrated psychiatric care across medical service lines, offering a practical roadmap for collaboration with CMHCs and CCBHCs.
For hospital leaders, CMHC and CCBHC partnerships provide measurable benefits, faster emergency department handoffs, closed follow-up gaps, fewer avoidable readmissions, improved clinician satisfaction and progress on quality and cost goals. The webinar will focus on operational strategies such as memorandums of understanding, data sharing, billing and clinic workflows that teams can adapt immediately.
