2012 Tri-State Conference

Now in its third year, this cutting-edge conference looks to continue the exploration of psychiatry’s integration into the physical healthcare model.  We will explore the integration of psychiatry and treatment of mental illness in medical populations as it applies to health care reform, technology, pharmacology, community health centers, and disaster-related situations. Sponsors have assembled an outstanding group of nationally-known speakers who will address professional practice gaps and advance the participants' competence and effective use of targeted skills.

We open with an interactive session hosted by Dr. Chris Bojrab exploring the use of EHRs and internet tools in the treatment of mentally ill patients.  This demonstration will be followed by tech expert, Kurt Snyder, Esq. who will provide participants with resources to help them improve access to care through marketing efforts and responsible use of social media.

Dr. John Wernert will open Saturday’s discussions with a review of integrative mental health care in Indiana-based community health centers with an emphasis on payment models.  This talk will be expanded to explore the federal situation with a presentation by APA Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Jay Scully.  Dr. Scully will update participants on Medicaid expansion, DSM 5, and national trends in scope of practice. 

Dual diagnosis and addiction round out Saturday’s programming.  Dr. Mary Helen Davis returns to the conference with a fresh look on the impact of alcohol and substance abuse on psychiatric disorders while Dr. Jonathan Butler will explore narcotic and Benzo addiction in community health centers.

Sunday concludes with a look at the neurobiology of psychotherapy presented by renowned speaker, Dr. Jerald Kay.  This is followed by Super Bowl disaster preparedness volunteer, Dr. Maria Poor, who will explore the role of mental health preparedness planning and that of mental health practitioners as second responders.

Electronic Health Records (EHRs): Government mandates require physicians to incorporate the use of EHRs into their practice.  Currently, very few psychiatrists have adequate knowledge of EHRs, preferred systems, and the benefits that will be recognized with use.

Social Media: As social media takes the nation by storm, doctors are left trying to determine their place in the game.  As mentioned in a recent article published by Psychiatric News, “each new development in Internet technology elicits a now-expectable round of caution about its use in the medical world.  Social media are only the latest.” 

Integrated Care: The delivery of mental health care is a rapidly changing landscape with the integration of psychiatric care into the physical care setting.  Many psychiatrists and primary care physicians are unsure how to integrate their practices in an effort to provide quality, efficient service to their patients. 

Dual Diagnosis: The impact of alcohol and substance abuse on psychiatric disorders clouds the ability of the physician to make appropriate recommendations regarding psychiatric disorders. 

Disaster: Mental Health is only now beginning to be integrated in overall disaster planning.  Psychiatry needs to be at the table as the planning goes forward. 

Neurobiology: The current situation of American psychiatry remains that of conceptualizing treatment in terms of an arbitrary and unhelpful dichotomy between pharmacology and psychotherapy. Recent studies have also indicated that a dramatically decreasing number of patients receive psychotherapy from their psychiatrist.  Despite the robust literature advocating combined treatment for all disorders, patients often are provided with less than optimal care.
