Pangkalahatang-ideya
Ang Hospital Emergency Department (ED) ay nasa front line ng pagtugon sa mga indibidwal na may substance use disorders (SUD) at mental illness (MI). Ang mga pasyente na may SUD at MI ay mas malamang na magkaroon ng mataas na paggamit ng ED at mga rate ng pagpapaospital, at dahil dito, ang mga ED ng ospital ay isang perpektong setting para sa pagtaas ng access sa paggamot.
The Behavioral Health in ER effort, or Behavioral Health Pilot Project (BHPP), aims to expand on the efforts of the California Bridge Program, which was first initiated under DHCS’ Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) Expansion Project. The purpose of the BHPP is to further expand development of ED-based behavioral health services in California’s general acute care hospitals. The California State Legislature appropriated $20 million to DHCS to integrate trained behavioral health counselors in EDs and build capacity for improved treatment of SUD and co-occurring MI.
In February 2020, DHCS released a Request for Application available to all general acute care hospitals. In September 2020, DHCS awarded up to $100,000 each to more than 200 general acute care hospitals to be expended through June 30, 2022. Awarded hospitals will be reporting several data metrics to DHCS, including: the number of people with a behavioral health diagnosis seen by month in the ED by the funded behavioral health counselor; the number of people provided MAT in the ED by month; and number of individuals receiving referrals by month to ongoing care at MAT capable clinics, mental health services, residential treatment, and other support services.
