Connecting The Dots:
Information Signposts on the Pathway to Care
Season2 - Episode 1
Estimates suggest that 20 percent of our youth struggle with mental health issues, while only a quarter of those young people receive any type of mental health treatment. What would it take for us to get young people connected to the care they need? This is the question that my next guest, Dr. Mario Cappelli, is dedicated to answering. Please join me for my conversation with Dr. Cappelli. He will share his work in designing screening tools and decision-support models that create pathways to care from Primary Care Physicians, Emergency Departments, and Navigation Hotlines. Using a blended model approach, collaborative care principles, and Communimetric theory, Dr. Cappelli has demonstrated, with promising results, that systems can direct youth and their caregivers to the care they need no matter what door they enter through. I look forward to seeing you for the next episode of Connecting the Dots.

About Connecting The Dots
Mr. Mark Lardner, LCSW-C, the Senior Policy Analyst at the Center for Innovation in Population Health at the University of Kentucky, is interested in hearing stories from people currently working to connect the dots in our helping systems; using their data to seamlessly move from the delivery of person-centered care based on individual aspirations to transformational system-level outcomes.
This live video podcast will be an in-depth and broadly accessible exploration of innovative approaches for translating assessment data into meaningful metrics across the helping professions.
Each month, a different guest will share their insights on how to use data to better understand the transformational process through the use of aggregated data. These interactive episodes will air on the first or the second Tuesday of each month and be archived with helpful resources on our IPH Center live website. We hope you will join us on this journey to uncover how applied person-centered data is moving us closer to transformational systems that work for all people.
