WE WILL CONTINUE TO PRIORITIZE OUTREACH TO INDIVIDUALS IDENTIFYING AS HISPANIC/LATINO, AS WELL AS MEMBERS OF THE LGBTQ+ COMMUNITY. SCI USES A STRATEGIC PLANNING PROCESS FOR SERVICE EXPANSION TO RESPOND TO COMMUNITY NEEDS. OUR 2022 CCBHC COMMUNITY NEEDS ASSESSMENT IDENTIFIED A NEED FOR MORE OUTREACH TO PEOPLE WHO IDENTIFY AS LGBTQ+, WHO IDENTIFY AS HISPANIC, AND WHO SPEAK SPANISH. THROUGH THIS NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND OUR WORK OVER THE PAST 2 YEARS TO IMPLEMENT THE CCBHC MODEL, WE HAVE IDENTIFIED A NEED TO SUPPORT BETTER PRIMARY CARE COORDINATION, OUTREACH, AND TARGETED CASE MANAGEMENT FOR VETERANS AND PEOPLE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS WITH SMI OR COD. WE ALSO RECOGNIZE THAT TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY AND EFFECTIVENESS OF OUR CCBHC SERVICES, WE NEED TO ADVANCE OUR HEALTH INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (HIT) INFRASTRUCTURE AND UTILIZATION TO COLLECT AND REPORT ON BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CLINIC (BHC) QUALITY MEASURES AND MOVE TOWARD MEASUREMENT-BASED CARE. THIS INCLUDES EDUCATING STAFF AROUND THE IMPORTANCE OF ACCURATE AND CONSISTENT COLLECTION AND RECORDING. THE CCBHC-IA GRANT WILL ALLOW US TO CONTINUE EXPANDING ACCESS TO CCBHC SERVICES TO ADDITIONAL POPULATIONS IN OUR CORE SERVICE AREA. FURTHER, WE WILL USE GRANT SUPPORT TO ADVANCE OUR WORK IN PRIMARY CARE SCREENINGS AND ACCESS TO PRIMARY CARE FOR MARGINALIZED COMMUNITIES, IMPROVE CARE COORDINATION, IMPROVE CONSUMER AND FAMILY ENGAGEMENT IN SERVICE ASSESSMENT AND DELIVERY, AND ADVANCE OUR DATA REPORTING CAPABILITIES.
