Joanna Horsfall, Co-Founding Partner of The Margolin Group (TMG), recently addressed an audience of several hundred at the 26th Annual Rotman Research Institute Conference in Toronto, Canada. The Conference, that brings together health leaders from academia and from across the healthcare industry for a multi-faceted look at brain health, is a “must-attend” event for those interested in advancing all aspects of brain health.
Horsfall’s presentation focused on the success of work TMG undertook over these last three years with partners in the state of Rhode Island who sought to find new and innovative ways to radically improve the overall mental and physical health of Rhode Island’s most severe and persistently mentally ill patients, along with those with dual diagnoses of mental illness and substance use disorders. Horsfall’s talk focused on the coverage and treatment breakthroughs of the model and on the collaborative processes used to get the program off the ground, to bring to the state’s commercial and Medicare populations some of the advancements already successfully applied by one of TMG’s client partners in the state’s Medicaid market.
“The work we undertook building this breakthrough model of care and coverage with The Providence Center, Continuum Behavioral Health and their hospital and healthplan partners addressing the needs of one of the state’s most vulnerable populations is among the most exhilarating, most impactful work our firm has undertaken to date,” commented Horsfall at the conclusion of her presentation. “It was my pleasure to share the concepts and outcomes to date with this esteemed group of clinicians, academicians and industry leaders as we begin to consider the potential for adoption of such a model nationally and internationally.”
