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.

This year’s SBIRT Summit aims to

  • Showcase SBIRT as a proven approach to successful integration of primary care and behavioral health across the lifespan. 
  • Share SBIRT lessons learned and best practices related to clinical and business practice issues.
  • Foster an environment that promotes and supports provider commitment to evidence-based screening and intervention on substance use.
  • Raise awareness of the urgency for substance use screening and intervention in primary care for people with other chronic conditions.  

We are delighted to share that Dr. Richard L. Brown will be joining us as the keynote speaker for this year's Summit.

Dr. Brown is a family physician and a tenured professor in the Department of Family Medicine and Community Health, School of Medicine and Public Health, University of Wisconsin. His academic focus is the management of alcohol and drug disorders and other behavioral risk factors and conditions in primary healthcare settings. He is a widely published researcher and leader in the area of medical education and research, receiving the Association for Medical Education and Research in Substance Abuse (AMERSA) McGovern Award for Excellence in Medical Education in 2002. Currently, Dr. Brown directs the Wisconsin Initiative to Promote Healthy Lifestyles, which aims to enhance delivery of SBIRT in healthcare settings. He is also the owner and CEO of Wellsys, LLC, which provides software, consulting, training and clinical support to enable healthcare settings to provide systematic, evidence-based, cost-saving screening, intervention and referral services for alcohol and drug use and other behavioral risks and disorders.
