ForwardACHP Fall 2020 Virtual Clinical Conference
ACHP is hosting its 2020 Fall Clinical Collaborative Conference on November 9-10 via a new interactive platform. Over the course of the Conference, participants will examine and discuss employer and employee expectations of value in a pandemic-adaptive world, innovations in telebehavioral health, using new technologies for proactive population health approaches and ensuring equitable access to COVID-19 vaccines.
On the first day of the meeting, Elizabeth Mitchell, president and CEO of the Pacific Business Group on Health, will join ACHP senior advisor George Isham in conversation about what employers expect from health plans as they address the impacts of COVID-19 on their businesses. They will explore priorities for recovery and opportunities to accelerate innovation that leads to better health, higher productivity of the workforce and more effective cost management. Participants will gather for conversation on how fellow ACHP members are working together with community leaders to promote health and health equity. ACHP plans will share how they have leveraged telehealth during the pandemic to support members with behavioral health needs. They will also discuss how the COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way people view mental health; their top advocacy issues related to telebehavioral health; insights into the “new normal” for telebehavioral health; and more.
The second day will begin with an interactive session to discussion actions ACHP plans can take to achieve digital equity in the communities they serve, bridging the “digital divide.” Then participants will hear from
