Snapshot for the UCCS Integrative Care Model: How we Make it Work
This session will focus on the integrated care model UCCS has launched in 2015 on our campus. The model we use has health, mental health, wellness promotion, recreation and other wellness related services through the contracted providers. After a brief introduction of these services, we will discuss the multiple entry points into the system, our priority and care to ensure equal and equitable access, and the various services our students take advantage of in our efforts to address the needs of the whole person. We see our model as operating on a circular continuum; from prevention and education, through treatment, which again starts the prevention and education. Through our various clinical training programs, we are also teaching and preparing future colleagues to be prepared to carry out holistic integrative care practices in their careers, functioning in multidisciplinary treatment teams. During our discussion, we will present actual cases where students were referred to different services, creating multiple entry points, and each of these different services in turn became active participants in reaching our common goal of enhancing the health and wellbeing of the student. In addition to service planning and delivery, we will also discuss the financial, staffing, and the interdependent relationship aspects of the model’s structure. At the end of the presentation, the audience will be able to describe various possible interdisciplinary collaboration strategies to address the needs of students.
