I am primarily working on a project to research and assess strategic solutions to promote primary care integration of behavioral healthcare. This will include conducting a review of current best practices for behavioral health integration. I also will collaborate with stakeholders to determine effective incentives for practices to integrate these methods into their healthcare delivery and potential measures of successful integration.
