National Leadership in Behavioral Health Measurement for Quality Care

With nearly 20 years of experience as a family physician in rural Maine, I have been working at a national level on depression in primary care since 1997. My focus is on achieving quality measures that are vital for both providers and patients, integrating behavioral health into primary care practices, and collaborating with key stakeholders to report on important metrics. By aligning with current measurement standards and promoting integration, I aim to enhance the quality, care, and cost efficiency of healthcare.
