Service Description
|
Integrated Health Care Delivery Systems (IHCDS) funds creative local solutions to difficulties encountered in the financing and delivery of health care services for Medicaid recipients, the uninsured, and other vulnerable populations. IHCDS leverages existing infrastructure, including DHHS divisions, Community Care of North Carolina (CCNC), physicians, hospitals, health departments, community and rural health centers, communities, private philanthropies, and academia, to build and strengthen health systems that improve access and coverage; enhance quality, cost-effectiveness, and coordination of care; and contain unnecessary growth in healthcare expenditures through integration with the DHHS multi payer platform.
NC HealthNet initiative supports community efforts to provide organized and coordinated health care services to uninsured North Carolinians. Through HealthNet funding, patients get help with:
-Finding a primary care provider -Getting access to specialty care and prescription medications
-Care for chronic medical conditions.
Effective SFY 2008, the HealthNet initiative supports the ongoing maintenance of community-based systems of care for the uninsured. This initiative links the volunteer spirit of community physicians, hospitals, health departments, rural and community health centers, and other safety net organizations with the administrative infrastructure of CCNC to provide low-income uninsured adults access to integrated health care services. HealthNet gains strengthen and help sustain communities' efforts to work collaboratively, share and conserve scarce resources, and find medical homes for the uninsured.
The Children's Health Insurance Program Reauthorization (CHIPRA)is a quality demonstration grant from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) that has been available since 1998. This grant seeks to develop, evaluate, and inform a national perspective on child healthcare quality that includes care provided through Medicaid and CHIP as a well as a provider-based models project and an electronic health records (EHR) format project. Long term outcomes of this grant are:
-Improve data collection for children’s healthcare quality measures -Incorporate new pediatric healthcare quality measures and assess their effect on accessibility and quality of Medical and CHIP services as well as transparency and consumer choice
-Evaluate effectiveness of new or expanded provider-based models to improve healthcare quality for children covered by Medicaid and CHIP, support collaboration across multiple payers and stakeholder groups, become cost-effective, and identify changes to improve healthcare delivery to children
-Implement and evaluate the pediatric HER format and assess its effect on the quality and cost of children’s healthcare.
The Chronic Pain Initiative/Project Lazarus (CPl) is another project of the ORHCC. Funding from the Kate B. Reynolds Charitable Trust, with Medicaid matching funds, addresses the rise in deaths by unintentional poisonings resulting from the use of opioid medications in the treatment of pain. Based on Project Lazarus, a successful pilot project in Wilkes County, CPI is a combined statewide effort of the state level partners, the CCNC networks, and Project Lazarus, Inc., as well as local coalitions of primary care and behavioral health providers, hospitals, education system personnel, law enforcement, and public health. CPI provides strategies and a series of toolkits to assist local medical providers address opioid misuse and abuse. The initiative addresses both the clinical issues related to prescribing opioid medications and the need for active community engagement. During SFY 2015, ORHCC secured funding from The Duke Endowment, along with Medicaid matching funds, to build upon the foundation of the CHIPRA initiative and support the statewide expansion of a successful local initiative. Fostering Health NC leverages the CCNC patient-centered medical home model of care and existing technology platforms to improve continuity of health information and coordination of care for the state’s foster children.
