Attendees will be able to:
• Provide an understanding of the effectiveness of technology as a tool to improve MAT patient engagement and the quality of treatment.

• Identify the key elements that make outcome information useful as clinical and practice improvement tools.

Join the HITEQ Center, in collaboration with the National Council for Behavioral Health, for a webinar on Documentation Tips when using the Collaborative Care Model for the Treatment of Depression and Anxiety in Primary Care. The webinar provided a brief overview and benefits of the collaborative care model as well as information specific to each of the main staff roles. The role-specific nuances of documentation were highlighted, including considerations for tracking data such as clinical activities accomplished with each patient during the month.

This discussion allowed Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) providers that use eClinicalWorks to share challenges and solutions related to RWHAP data management.
