Covid’s Shadow Pandemic
In the past year, it’s been a rare day without a major article, video, or conversation that hasn’t included news about the toll COVID’s taken on America’s mental health. Fortunately, as reported at HIMSS, accelerated telebehavioral health visits have given civilian and military families alike “better access to care.”
Yet, going way beyond anxiety and depression, today’s fifth edition of The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) lists nearly 300 distinct diagnoses. Today, for the better brain health of millions – especially with Parity, the healthcare insurance industry uses the DSM as the “standard” to determine which treatments merit reimbursement.
After we’ve heard “What’s Up?” in your healthcare world, we’d also like to hear how your organization has responded to the uptick in demand for behavioral health services and therapies.
Then, we’ll hear from our Featured ABL-Health OC Member Guest Presenter, Mark Heinemeyer, CEO of PRODEO LLC and co-founder of PRODEO Institute. Mark will share his experience over the past 20 years advancing emerging technologies and therapeutics in various areas of brain health into the marketplace, and developing new approaches to brain-based investing, economics, and policy.
