               "TRANSFORMING THE PRACTICE OF HEALTH CARE:
                      THE COLLABORATIVE SOLUTION"
 
 A Conference for Physicians, Family Therapists, Nurses, Nurse Practitioners,
 Physician Assistants, Social Workers, Psychologists, Hospital and Managed Care
 Administrators, Policy Makers, and other Health Care Professionals
 
                WASHINGTON, DC / JULY 20-23, 1995
 
 Collaborative Family Health Care offers a radical new approach to health care
 reform.  Instead of focusing on who will pay,the collaborative approach focuses
 on improvements in health care delivery that increase efficiency and
 effectiveness and cut costs no matter what form of payment is in effect.
 Collaboration maximizes resources, improves health, emphasizes prevention and
 transforms the treatment experience for all involved: providers, patients and
 families.  The model rests on three key concepts.  First, teams of health and
 mental health professionals work in concert.  Second, the biological,
 psychological, and social aspects of treatment are given equal importance.
 Third, the patient's family is included as a crucial component of treatment.
 
 At the conference collaborative teams from across the country will demonstrate
 their working models.  They'll answer questions about how to adapt 
 collaboration
 to fit your work setting and how to market it to your professional community.
 Equal time will be devoted to skill-based workshops by master
 teacher/practitioners and to group discussion.  You'll meet colleagues from
 other disciplines, share your expertise and practice innovations, and help to
 co-create this new field as you attend Workshops, Expert Consults, Poster
 Sessions, Networking Lunches, Banquets, Book Fairs and Exhibits.  You will 
 leave
 the conference thinking and practicing in new ways and with important
 connections to colleagues in the collaboration community.  These are exciting
 and challenging times for health care.  This is a conference you can't afford 
 to
 miss.
