During this session, primary care practices will learn how they can get started with forming a medical neighborhood – extending clinical services beyond their office settings – by forming a community health team that can deliver behavioral health and social support services to assist patients with high-cost, complex care needs. The Care Transformation Collaborative of Rhode Island (CTC-RI) used a multi-payer approach to pilot and evaluate community heath teams in two diverse geographic neighborhoods and will offer practical guidance, tools and "lessons learned". Participants will learn an initial approach to building an extended team that functions as an extension of the neighborhood’s primary care practices, and realize directional improvement in reducing costs of care and improving the provision of holistic care.
