NH SBIRT Summit
SBIRT Works: Putting Patients at the Center - Integrating Behavioral Health and Primary Care
Monday, October 17, 2016
9:00am – 4:00pm
(Registration begins at 8am)
Radisson Hotel, Manchester, NH
The New Hampshire Charitable Foundation in partnership with the New Hampshire Medical Society and Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center with support from the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation would like to invite you to the third annual NH S•BI•RT Summit to be held on October 17th, 2016.
As our health systems move toward integration of primary care and behavioral health, medical professionals equipped with screening and intervention best practice tools are well positioned to successfully participate in integration, improve patient outcomes, and reduce health care costs. The experience of NH and national peers with screening, intervention, and referral to treatment (SBIRT) implementation provides a valuable opportunity to offer expert insights and practical solutions to practitioners navigating clinical, operational, and financial issues as we work together to advance integrated care as the standard of patient care in NH.
Through the implementation of SBIRT in over two-dozen primary care practices across New Hampshire, we have gleaned insights into what works well, as well as how to overcome apparent barriers. Our experiences across community health centers, hospitals, and health systems have shown us that this work is critical, and that adolescents, as well as pregnant women and all other adults, should receive guidance regarding substance use as part of routine clinical care. Such practice helps patients address or moderate their substance use, and provides practitioners with essential information required for comprehensive care of patients with chronic conditions.
