Incredible Behavioral Health Integrator Badge

HITEQ Health Center Cybersecurity Defender Against the Dark WebHealth centers are increasing the integration of behavioral health in primary care, spurred by an increased focus on whole person care and additional funding. Effective use of health IT in conjunction with patient privacy and confidentiality is imperative to support behavioral health.

According to the Office of the National Coordinator, "Health information technology can help to improve behavioral health care and can further enable care coordination and integration, increase information sharing, and support prevention, treatment, and recovery activities. Access to and the exchange and use of behavioral health information as part of routine care can help to improve continuity in care services and support efforts toward achieving an interoperable health care system across the continuum."

Take some time to read through some of the articles on this page and then fill out the submission form on the right and you will be rewarded with a Health Center Incredible Behavioral Health Integrator badge! This is an official badge that is submitted by the HITEQ Center as a proof of completion to the blockchain. Your credentials can be added to profiles such as LinkedIn and verified through accreditation services such as Accredible and Open Badge.

Applying a Decision Making Support Tool for HIV Care in the Primary Care Setting

Applying a Decision Making Support Tool for HIV Care in the Primary Care Setting

In this live, 60-minute webinar, expert faculty will demonstrate the use of HIV-ASSIST when making evidence-based ART decisions and will apply the tool to case discussions focused on applicability in primary care settings. 

The goal of this activity is to provide practical tools to improve the competence of primary care providers and other nonspecialists as well as global specialist healthcare professionals in making evidence-based ART decisions by increasing awareness and use of HIV-ASSIST. 

After this webinar, the participant should be better able to: 

  • Confidently make use of the HIV-ASSIST tool based on a solid understanding of its functionality and the data that validate its effectiveness in HIV decision support. 
  • Integrate HIV-ASSIST into the clinical workflow when selecting antiretroviral regimens for previously untreated patient cases; and 
  • Select evidence-based new ART regimens for patients with stable virologic suppression and those with virologic failure through appropriate use of HIV-ASSIST.

Improving UDS Clinical Quality Measure Performance: Increasing HIV Prevention in Primary Care

Improving UDS Clinical Quality Measure Performance: Increasing HIV Prevention in Primary Care

Primary care plays a key role in ending the HIV epidemic. The Ending the HIV Epidemic initiative launched across HHS in 2019, setting forth four key strategies also called the “four pillars” of ending the HIV epidemic. Primary care in federally qualified health centers figures centrally into these efforts, evidenced by the addition of several HIV screening and prevention measures and metrics in the Uniform Data System (UDS) reporting. This webinar reviewed the outcomes of the first year of HIV Screening and Prevention reporting on the UDS, highlight opportunities for quality improvement, and discussed funding opportunities.
