Collaborative Care Management in Perinatal Settings

Join us for this presentation to learn more about using the Collaborative Care Management (CoCM) model with Perinatal patients. Our two subject matter experts will discuss the particular care needs of the perinatal population in relationship to the Collaborative Care Model (CoCM) to help participants envision and create workflows and operational techniques in their practice that will serve the behavioral health needs of this population with fidelity to the CoCM model. 1 CEU/CME is pending approval.
