Patient complexity is a topic that has grown in popularity due to more attention and resources being given to social determinants of health and adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). Because of the connection between ACEs and the development of chronic disease, as well as one’s environment, education, and social determinants of health attributing almost 80% of a person’s health outcomes, understanding the unique qualities of patient care in the 21st century is of great importance. Psychology is uniquely qualified to contextually address patient complexity as it relates to treatment outcomes within the evidenced-based practice for psychology, as well as the impact these individuals have on the Quadruple Aim within the US Healthcare System. This session will discuss patient complexity with a micro-and-macro system lens using case examples to demonstrate evidence-informed approaches to care for patients with high needs.

Some individuals may be able to start, stop, or modify a behavior the first time they try. However, most make multiple attempts. Relapse is often used to label someone who has tried and not succeeded. This session will examine the reality and function of relapse in the process of successful behavior change and attempt to change the behavior change conversations from relapse to recycling on the road to successful change.  Participants will be asked to examine their strategies for preventing behavior change failures. We will explore how blame, shame, and a sense of failure interfere with successful behavior change, and offer thoughts and strategies on how to address more effectively the reality of reoccurrence and failure to sustain change. Instructor: Carlo DiClemente, Ph.D. [Note] This presentation was recorded at the 2021 National Practice Conference, co-hosted by the National Register. Learning Objectives Identify the role of relapse in the process of instigating and sustaining behavior change. Discuss how the term relapse can be stigmatizing and blaming when used in addiction and mental health. Describe recycling as a normal part of trial and error (successive approximation) learning. Demonstrate novel strategies to discuss and debrief reoccurrence events and failure to sustain change with clients.

This Trust Roundtable will focus on current ethical, risk and practical challenges providers encounter. We will discuss the basic dimensions and implications of the Open Notes rule (Information Blocking), working with high conflict families, and handling requests for information from the legal system. We will also respond to participants’ questions on these and other risk management topics. The overall goal of this Roundtable will be to heighten participants’ knowledge and skills in addressing the ethical and risk management implications of these challenges and enhance participants’ ability to scrutinize the soundness of various alternative solutions. We will discuss strategies for effective risk management and good patient care when regulations and requirements are unclear. Instructors:  Leisl Bryant, Ph.D., ABPP; Daniel O.
