Dr. Chwastiak was one of six national experts on integrated care who presented a virtual workshop on defining the essential components of care for people with mental health and substance use disorders in the primary care setting for three illustrative conditions (depression, alcohol use disorders, and opioid use disorders).
The workshop was the second in a series of three workshops convened by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine’s Forum on Mental Health and Substance Use Disorders between June and August 2020 to explore effective integrated care models, opportunities to build the healthcare workforce and financial incentives and payment structures to support implementation.
