Read findings of Div. 40 integrated-care survey
Div. 40 (Society for Clinical Neuropsychology) has published
findings from a membership survey in the January issue
of the journal The Clinical Neuropsychologist. The division
surveyed members working in integrated-care settings as a
way to inform the division on how to move forward in today’s
health-care landscape. Based on the findings, the division is
recommending more education and training on working in
integrated-care settings and more outcome studies on the
clinical benefits and cost-savings of having neuropsychologists
on integrated-care teams that are easily accessible. Read the
full article, “The times they are a changin’: Neuropsychology
and integrated care teams,” in Vol. 30, Issue 1 of The Clinical
Neuropsychologist. n
