The delivery of evidence-based treatments is much discussed but too often that's not what patients/consumers receive when they engage in treatment for a behavioral health disorder. Linda Rosenberg, MSW, Columbia University Irving Medical Center, Columbia University Department of Psychiatry, provides an overview of evidence-based interventions in healthcare and their critical importance. We'll discuss the most common mental and substance use disorders, current barriers to their implementation, and how health systems and practitioners can overcome these barriers to deliver evidence-based care. Learning Objectives: By the end of this presentation, listeners will be able to: Understand the role of evidence-based interventions in healthcare and the critical importance of the adoption of treatments based upon scientific evidence for mental and substance use disorders. Describe how an intervention becomes evidence-based and how clinicians know their interventions are working (MBC). Articulate and support paths forward to ensure patients/consumers get evidence-based care.
