Advancing access, quality, and cost-effectiveness in publicly financed health care.

Webinar | Lessons from the Front Lines: Insights into Trauma-Informed Care for Medicaid’s Complex Populations  

DATE: Monday, June 22, 2015, 2:00 – 3:30 pm ET (11:00 am – 12:30 pm PT)

Health care organizations and delivery systems serving high-need, high-cost Medicaid populations are increasingly recognizing the prevalence of trauma among their patients and taking steps to adopt trauma-informed approaches to better address patient needs. Trauma-informed care seeks to change the clinical perspective from asking “What is wrong with you?” to “What happened to you?” and strives to create an environment that supports the unique needs of patients who have experienced trauma and staff who work with them. 

This webinar will provide an introduction to trauma-informed care and explore innovative strategies being used by two organizations that are implementing trauma-informed approaches to care. Participants will learn about CareOregon’s experiences in building a trauma-informed workforce for its Health Resilience program. In addition, the Camden Coalition of Healthcare Providers (CCHP) will highlight CCHP’s cross-sector efforts to create a trauma-informed community in Camden, NJ.
