Wake County Familiar Faces [Health Collaborative]

Описание: In 2018, 50% of health care costs were spent on 5% of the U.S. population. The “Wicked Problem” in Wake County, like many communities across the country, is related to the lack of integrated health services and supports to vulnerable individuals with complex needs and who have frequent interaction with a combination of criminal justice and correctional systems, emergency medical services (EMS), homelessness services, physical and mental health services, substance use detox and treatment services.

This project involves engaging and coordinating community stakeholders to provide integrated health services to vulnerable individuals with complex needs and who have frequent interaction with crisis systems because current systems are unable to meet their needs. The Clinical Scholars team members all work for organizations (Wake County Government, WakeMed Health & Hospitals, Duke University Health System, and UNC Health) with deep roots in the community. Individually and collectively, they work with and among networks of community stakeholders and service providers who have a substantive understanding of institutional strengths and gaps related to services for the target population.

The team seeks to engage vulnerable community members and front-line service providers to understand barriers and challenges associated with service delivery and support systems for this population. Utilizing existing data sources within the community, the team seeks to understand what it takes to partner, integrate, and deliver a holistic care model to familiar faces, vulnerable individuals who have frequent interactions with crisis safety-net systems. This information will provide valuable insight to improve upon existing strategies to develop an empathetic human-centered design that addresses systemic problems to improve services and health outcomes. The efforts will include utilizing continuous quality improvement practices to allow for ongoing improvement efforts and broad community adoption.
