PCMH Southeastern PA Learning Session 2.7.23

February 7, 2023

The webinar will allow the PCMH teams to share ideas and best practices, on PCMH goals, by highlighting their successes from the previous year in areas such as Social Determinants of Health and Behavioral Health integration.
We are also aware that many changes due to COVID and managed care organization realignment, have created the circumstances for needing to reengage with patients especially for hospital follow up and high risk patients. The activity will assist the PCMH teams in learning the various ways that the healthcare team can connect with patients after a hospital stay, identify high risk patients and complete appropriate follow ups.
