Webinar
Turning behavioral health strategy into system-wide alignment
Hear how health system leaders are using shared goals, better coordination and data to connect behavioral health across departments and care settings.
Creating an enterprise behavioral health strategy requires more than adding programs. It requires getting different teams, departments and leaders working toward the same goals.
In this webinar clip, behavioral health leaders discuss why alignment and coordination are among the most critical operational pieces to get right when connecting care across a health system.
Tracey Izzard of Sentara Health shares how aligning teams around a common outcome can help streamline the patient journey. Julie Swann of Emory Saint Joseph’s Hospital discusses navigating competing system priorities, maintaining visibility into behavioral health challenges and using navigators to connect patients with appropriate resources. Earl E. Walker, Jr. of Bayhealth highlights the importance of having a system-wide view that connects the dots between outpatient, emergency, inpatient and other teams.
The panel also explores the role of data as a common starting point for decision-making, helping leaders move beyond individual perspectives and evaluate what makes sense for both the organization and the communities they serve.
