Proposal to preserve ccbhc-compatible services while expanding into outpatient care - netcare corporation's (netcare's) ccbhc project will serve 200 clients annually and over 4 years will serve 520 unduplicated individuals with SMI/SED/SUD/COD who live in franklin county, ohio. Clients will receive comprehensive, evidence-based behavioral health (BH) and primary care (PC) services. With ccbhc funding, enrollment will focus on clients transitioning from crisis into ongoing, evidence- and team-based outpatient treatment. As a subpopulation of focus, the ccbhc will monitor access and outcomes disparities among black/african american individuals served. Netcare delivers a robust crisis continuum as well as assessment, diagnostic, and treatment services. Netcare will ensure that all services are trauma-informed and accessible to veterans. Netcare's goals and highlighted objectives include: (1) enhance ccbhc governance and oversee ccbhc implementation (OBJ.a: establish a ccbhc advisory board. OBJ. B: establish an interdepartmental steering committee for implementing ccbhc standards.); (2) expand and enhance team-based outpatient services (OBJ. A: recruit, hire, and train a project director/clinic director, psychiatric prescriber, nurse care manager, licensed BH clinician, and bachelor's-level case manager. OBJ.

C: among all clients discharged from the crisis stabilization unit (CSU), 75% will be connected and engaged in ongoing BH outpatient services. OBJ.

C: in year 3, increase the number of clients served with outpatient services by 25%.); (6) enhance quality care metric monitoring and population health management practices (OBJ. A: finalize methods for monitoring and reporting clients' use of restrictive settings. OBJ B: QI team will monitor and report all ccbhc-required quality care metrics. OBJ.
