Iowa is designated as a Health Professional Shortage Area especially for treatment and management of behavioral health disorders. The Behavioral Health ECHO program supports primary care providers in assessing and managing substance use and mental health disorders. The learning series will utilize the ECHO Model to train and support primary care team members, behavioral health professionals, and case managers in the treatment and management of substance use disorders, psychiatric illnesses, and associated co-morbidities, with the goal to help enhance integrated care in identifying and treating these concerns in their patients.

This will be done by disseminating evidence-based best practice care to improve patient outcomes in the form of didactic instruction and case discussions to enhance learning and improve quality of care opportunities.
