Abstract
Coffey county emergency medical services (EMS), a coffey county hospital (AKA coffey health system) service will increase the capacity of EMS personnel to respond to mental health and SUD emergency calls by hiring additional staff, implementing a robust training plan, and enhancing procedures, care coordination, and patient support systems. Population to be served: CHS-EMS provides type 1 medical services on a 24-hour basis to residents of coffey county, KS, and as requested in the four surrounding counties of anderson, lyon, osage, and woodson, all in rural southeast kansas. The rural residents of the service area live in an area that faces shortages of mental health professionals, lower percentages of individuals with health insurance, fragmented care, and societal stigma around substance use and mental health. These challenges contribute to high rates of illicit drug use, overdoses, and death due to drug poisoning. Strategies/interventions: CHS is proposing to increase the capacity and training of its EMS personnel with a particular focus on addressing substance use disorders and CO-occurring mental health conditions. This project will support CHS in improving the EMS workforce capacity, enhancing staff training, and connecting individuals to mental health and SUD services. CHS is proposing a robust set of strategies and activities to enhance current efforts and improve its capacity to implement the required activities. Goals and objectives: CHS can achieve its goal of increasing the capacity of EMS personnel to respond to mental health and SUD emergency calls by hiring additional EMT staff, implementing a robust training plan, and enhancing procedures, care coordination, and patient support systems. CHS will hire, onboard, and train three emts and provide financial support for five emts to become paramedics. In addition, CHS will implement a robust training program and provide training for 25 EMS each year for a total of 50 (duplicated) staff on substance use, mental health, trauma-informed care, harm reduction, and motivational interviewing during the two-year performance project. The training plan will also include continuing education and training needed for certifications. To support EMS staff in responding to emergencies in the service area CHS will purchase needed equipment and PPE. CHS will partner with crosswinds counseling and wellness to increase care coordination and connect individuals with substance use services.
