With multiple locations in the Raleigh area, Raleigh Orthopaedic was on a mission to provide the highest quality of musculoskeletal care – which included providing faster, more convenient care access to patients. Provider preferences became increasingly difficult to manage, which resulted in unbalanced provider schedules and created longer appointment wait times for patients.

As the keeper of the public purse, Treasurer Folwell is responsible for a $100 billion state pension fund that provides retirement benefits for more than 900,000 teachers, law enforcement officers and other public workers. Under Folwell’s leadership the pension plan was rated among the top five highest-funded in the country and won accolades for proactive management and funding discipline. In 2020 the state’s coveted AAA bond rating was reaffirmed by every major rating agency, making North Carolina one of only 13 states in the country to hold that distinction. Treasurer Folwell also oversees the State Health Plan, which provides medical and pharmaceutical benefits to more than 720,000 current and retired public employees and is the largest purchaser of health care in North Carolina.

Collaborative Care Model (CoCM) Training Series
New Modules Released!
NC AHEC is excited to announce the release of modules 16 & 17 in the CoCM Training Series. View the details below!
Module 16: Tools for Financial Sustainability Using CoCM
Speaker: Lori Raney, MD
This webinar builds on an earlier webinar entitled Billing the Collaborative Care Codes and presents a deeper dive into barriers and solutions to financial sustainability of CoCM in your organization. The codes are briefly described and include the responsibilities of each team member. It also reviews key concerns often voiced by compliance teams and proposes solutions. Finally, steps towards developing a robust reimbursement plan are presented. It is recommended to first watch Billing the Collaborative Care Codes to better understand some of the concepts presented in this webinar.
Module 17: Challenging Clinical Situations
Speaker: Monica Harrison, MSW, LCSW
CoCM allows patients to receive both physical and mental health treatment from a multidisciplinary team within the primary care setting. The patient, Primary Care Provider, Psychiatric Consultant and Behavioral Health Care Manager (BHCM) are all critical members of this multidisciplinary team. The role of the BHCM can be fulfilled by a variety of clinicians including licensed mental health providers and clinical psychologists. A substantial body of evidence has shown that CoCM is more effective than usual care for treating common mental health conditions such as depression and anxiety in the primary care setting. Five core principles for effective Collaborative Care are discussed.
Click on the blue button below to learn more and register for the CoCM Training Series.

2024 Alliance sponsor feature article courtesy of Nuance Communications, Inc.
As long‑time users of Dragon Medical One, Fisher‑Titus Medical Center was accustomed to using speech recognition technology to ease the burden of clinical documentation. But as they looked to deepen their Nuance footprint with DAX, their administration was unsure how it would fit into their existing workflows. Since deploying Nuance DAX, Fisher‑Titus has reaped the benefits of using the two solutions in tandem to optimize productivity, enhance the patient‑provider experience, improve the quality of documentation, and drive better outcomes.
