Expanding Pediatric IBH Capacity

  • 11 Dec 2024

This month, CTC-RI, in partnership with Foundation for Integrated Care (FIC) had our final meeting for the Expanding Pediatric Integrated Behavioral Health (IBH) Capacity project. This meeting gave an overview and developments for FIC, pre- and post-data from each of the participating practices, and overview of their quality improvement projects. Additionally, each practice presented reflections focused on the greatest positive changes as a result of the project, challenges with IBH, plans for the future, and a patient success story that illustrated the benefits of IBH. We thank FIC members Kristin David, PsyD, Executive Director, and Sarah Ferszt, LICSW, Director for Program Development for sharing FIC’s overview and future plans. Additionally, we thank Liz Cantor, PhD, CTC-RI Pediatric IBH Practice Facilitator, for presenting the PDSAs, and each of our participating practices for sharing their experiences: Barrington Pediatrics, NRI Pediatrics, and P.R.I.M.A. Pediatrics. A call for applications for this project's cohort 2 will be announced in early 2025.
