Primary Care Medical Home: Implications for Addiction Care
Location: Rockville, Maryland, USA

- Promoting, establishing, and sustaining linkages with providers of addiction treatment for patients who need interventions outside of primary care;
- Investigating optimal financing and payment mechanisms to facilitate the efficient, effective service production and linkages.

- David Meyer, M.D., Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality
- Beat D. Steiner, M.D., University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill
- Rodger Kessler, Ph.D., University of Vermont

Who Should Attend:
The workshop is primarily targeted at those interested in conducting research, including health economics research, on how addictive disorders can best be addressed in the primary care medical home.
