K-TRACS, Prescribing, and You
K-TRACS, the Kansas prescription drug monitoring program, is a valuable clinical decision-making tool available for Kansas healthcare providers. K-TRACS staff will provide an overview of the program, how it’s being used across the state, and trends in controlled substance prescribing. The presentation will also cover how K-TRACS information is reviewed internally, the K-TRACS Advisory Committee’s authority to review patients and prescribers of concern, and how healthcare organizations can access prescribing information.
Behavioral Health in a Primary Care Setting
Nearly one in five U.S. adults has a behavioral health disorder, and studies confirm what clinicians know from experience: patients with behavioral health diagnoses have higher rates of co-occurring chronic conditions, including asthma, diabetes, and hypertension, which can complicate their care and affect their lifespan and the quality of their lives. Integrating traditional primary medical and behavioral healthcare has been demonstrated to promote more accessible and equitable treatment for these complex patients, but how do you make it work in an environment of increasing needs and growing workforce challenges?
