REGIONAL HEALTH SYSTEMS 2020 CCBHC EXPANSION PROJECT - AFTER RECEIVING AN AWARD IN THE FIRST COHORT OF SAMHSA'S CCBHC EXPANSION GRANTS IN 2018, REGIONAL HEALTH SYSTEMS IS NOW APPLYING FOR A SECOND CCBHC EXPANSION GRANT IN ORDER TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF AND ACCESS TO PSYCHIATRIC SERVICES AND INTEGRATED HEALTHCARE THROUGHOUT NORTHWEST INDIANA. REGIONAL IS A COMPREHENSIVE HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES AGENCY THAT PROVIDES MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE TREATMENT SERVICES IN ADDITION TO PRIMARY CARE AND DENTAL SERVICES ON A SLIDING FEE SCALE. IN 2016, REGIONAL RECEIVED CERTIFICATION AS A CCBHC THROUGH THE STATE OF INDIANA. REGIONAL NOW INTENDS TO EXPAND OUR CONTINUUM OF PSYCHIATRIC SERVICE PROVIDERS, EXPAND OUR TEAM OF INTEGRATED CARE PROFESSIONALS, EXPAND THE USE OF POPULATION HEALTH MANAGEMENT, AND FURTHER ASSIST INDIVIDUALS WITH NAVIGATING OUR EXPANSIVE SYSTEM OF CARE. REGIONAL WILL HIRE A TRIAGE PSYCHIATRIST TO PROVIDE EXPEDIENT ACCESS TO PSYCHIATRIC SERVICES FOR CLIENTS WHO PRESENT WITH HIGH RISK FACTORS. WE WILL ADD A FULL-TIME AND WEEKEND PSYCHIATRIST TO OUR FIVE FQHC SITES, ALONG WITH BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CONSULTANTS AND MEDICAL ASSISTANT STAFF TO SUPPORT THESE PSYCHIATRIC EXPANSIONS. WE ALSO INTEND TO EXPAND OUR USE OF MEDICATION ASSISTED TREATMENT (MAT) VIA AN ADDICTIONOLOGIST WHO CAN PROVIDE MAT ON AN OUTPATIENT BASIS. THE SECOND MAJOR COMPONENT OF OUR PROJECT IS TO BETTER INTEGRATE THE SYSTEM OF CARE REGIONAL ALREADY OFFERS BY EXPANDING OUR TEAM OF NURSE CARE MANAGERS. THIS INTEGRATED CARE TEAM WILL BE THE CONNECTIVE TISSUE THAT ASSISTS CONSUMERS WITH NAVIGATING OUR CCBHC, WITH PARTICULAR FOCUS ON POPULATION HEALTH MANAGEMENT FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH CHRONIC AND CO-OCCURRING DISORDERS. WE'LL ALSO ADD A NUTRITIONIST TO HELP EDUCATE CLIENTS AND ENCOURAGE THEM TO SET GOALS FOR WEIGHT REDUCTION AND HEALTHY EATING. WE WILL ALSO UPDATE AND MAINTAIN POPULATION HEALTH MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE TO KEEP TRACK OF INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE RECEIVING PSYCHOTROPIC MEDICATIONS FOR MONITORING OF KEY HEALTH INDICATORS. AS PART OF OUR OUTREACH EFFORTS, WE WILL FUND TWO OUTREACH CASE MANAGER POSITIONS, ONE OF WHOM WILL FOCUS PRIMARILY ON VETERANS. TO BOLSTER THE EXPANDED SERVICES DESCRIBED ABOVE, WE WILL INVEST IN STAFF TRAINING FOR EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICES (INCLUDING MOTIVATIONAL INTERVIEWING, TRAUMA-FOCUSED CBT, AND THE MATRIX MODEL) AS WELL AS CULTURAL COMPETENCY ISSUES INCLUDING POVERTY AND TRAUMA. WE WILL INVEST IN UPDATING OUR COMMUNITY NEEDS ASSESSMENT, FUNDING A SIGNING THERAPIST, AND FUNDING A TRANSLATOR WHO IS TRAINED ON MEDICAL TERMINOLOGY. WITH THIS EXPANDED TEAM, WE WILL HAVE A LARGE IMPACT ON THE SHORTAGE OF MEDICAL PERSONNEL IN NORTHWEST INDIANA, AND WE'LL BE ABLE TO COORDINATE OUR SYSTEM OF CARE TO PROVIDE MAXIMUM BENEFIT IN THE CCBHC MODEL.

REGIONAL HEALTH SYSTEMS AOT PROGRAM - REGIONAL HEALTH SYSTEMS (RHS) IS APPLYING FOR THE FY2024 ASSISTED OUTPATIENT TREATMENT (AOT) PROGRAM FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH SERIOUS MENTAL ILLNESS GRANT TO DEVELOP AN AOT PROGRAM FOR OUR SERVICE POPULATION. THE FOCUS POPULATION FOR THE AOT PROGRAM ARE PERSONS LIVING WITH SERIOUS MENTAL ILLNESS (SMI) AND/OR CO-OCCURRING DISORDERS THAT ARE UNDER OUTPATIENT CIVIL COMMITMENT WHO MEET INDIANA'S AOT CRITERIA. THESE INDIVIDUALS WILL BE INVOLVED IN LOCAL CIVIL, CRIMINAL, AND/OR DRUG COURTS, WHO ARE AT RISK FOR PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITALIZATION, INCARCERATION OR HOMELESSNESS WITHOUT THIS COMMITMENT. RHS WILL USE THIS GRANT FUNDING TO DEVELOP AN AOT PROGRAM FOR OUR SERVICE POPULATION, AND INTENDS TO OFFER COMMUNITY AND OFFICE-BASED TREATMENT AND SUPPORT TO INDIVIDUALS IN NEED AT ANY TIME. IN ALIGNMENT WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE AOT PROGRAM, RHS WILL UTILIZE BOTH THE FORENSIC ASSERTIVE COMMUNITY TREATMENT (FACT) AND THE ADULT INTENSIVE REHABILITATION SERVICES (AIRS) TREATMENT MODELS. THESE MODELS WILL ALLOW RHS TO OFFER INTEGRATED CARE THROUGH STRUCTURED AND INTENSIVE REHABILITATION SERVICES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO CASE MANAGEMENT, PSYCHIATRIC CARE, MEDICAL AND NURSING CARE, THERAPY AND SUBSTANCE USE SERVICES. RHS WILL BE ABLE TO EFFECTIVELY TRIAGE INCOMING REQUESTS FOR SERVICES, BASED ON ASSESSMENT OF CLINICAL NEED, VIOLENCE, SUICIDE AND SAFETY RISK, AND POSSIBLE NEED FOR STABILIZATION TREATMENT THROUGH OUR INPATIENT PSYCHIATRIC UNIT OR RESIDENTIAL SUBSTANCE ABUSE UNITS. A CRITICAL TASK FOR THE AOT STAFF WILL BE TO EFFECTIVELY ENGAGE PERSONS WHO ARE UNDER COMMITMENT, WHO HAVE STRUGGLED WITH VOLUNTARY TREATMENT ADHERENCE IN THE PAST, TO TAKE AN ACTIVE ROLE IN THEIR TREATMENT, AS WELL AS ENGAGEMENT WITH FAMILIES OR PERSONS PROVIDING SUPPORT TO THE IDENTIFIED PATIENT. ANOTHER PROPONENT OF THE AOT PROGRAM WILL BE MAINTAINING COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE COURTS AND TREATMENT TEAM, ENSURING BOTH SIDES ARE APPRISED OF THE CLIENT'S LEGAL AND TREATMENT STATUS. EACH AOT PARTICIPANT WILL BE EVALUATED AT THE END OF THE COMMITMENT PERIOD TO DETERMINE WHETHER THE COMMITMENT WILL BE EXTENDED, OR IF THE CLIENT WILL BE RELEASED AND TRANSITIONED TO VOLUNTARY OUTPATIENT TREATMENT, WHERE RHS WILL MONITOR CLIENT TO ENSURE THAT THEY REMAIN STABLE AND TREATMENT-COMPLIANT. THE GOALS OF THIS PROJECT INCLUDE MAXIMIZING THE USE OF OUR RESOURCES AND PARTNERING WITH LOCAL COURT ADMINISTRATORS, LAW ENFORCEMENT AND COMMUNITY PARTNERS TO SERVE AS A RESOURCE FOR SMI INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE FACING CRIMINAL AND/OR CIVIL CHARGES WITHOUT TREATMENT ADHERENCE. WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF OUR AOT PROGRAM, RHS WILL INCREASE THE RATE OF TREATMENT COMPLIANCE AMONG ADULTS WITH SMI UNDER CIVIL COMMITMENT, AND WILL MONITOR PARTICIPANT OUTCOMES, INCLUDING RATES OF HOMELESSNESS, RECIDIVISM AND HOSPITALIZATION. TO TRACK THE SUCCESS AND SUSTAINABILITY OF THE AOT PROGRAM, WE WILL MEASURE THE FOLLOWING OBJECTIVES: MEDICATION COMPLIANCE, TREATMENT PLAN COMPLIANCE, ACTIVE SERVICE UTILIZATION, AND REFERRALS TO COMMUNITY PARTNERS. WE ANTICIPATE SERVING 204 UNDUPLICATED CLIENTS OVER THE AWARD PERIOD: YEAR 1 (51 CLIENTS), YEAR 2 (51 CLIENTS), YEAR 3 (51 CLIENTS) AND YEAR 4 (51 CLIENTS).
