提案 56 在急診中的行為健康
返回提案 56
概述
醫院急診部（ED）處於對藥物使用障礙（SUD）和精神疾病（MI）的人士應對的前線。 SUD 和 MI 患者更有可能患有高 ED 的使用率和住院率，因此，醫院 ED 是增加接受治療的理想環境。
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.
