Capital Health Response to CHNA Campus Specific programs that directly address the findings of the CHNA as well as unique projects that meet our patient needs Have taken the findings of the CHNA and applied them to the DSRIP project
Delivery System Reform Incentive Payment (DSRIP) Replaces DSH payments in New Jersey Total of $166 million annually for 5 years in NJ Requires competitive application to NJDOHSS Unique programs that must be responsive to local CHNA Select from 16 projects; all focus on role of hospital as provider of population health Not every hospital will be accepted, and payments predicated on performance; project specific and hospital wide Coordinated through the New Jersey Hospital Association
DSRIP Decision Matrix Identified needs based on CHNA Match program to population served by hospital Choose a program that is doable Chose a program that is unique and will be acceptable to NJDOHSS and CMS
Capital Health Regional Medical Center Substance abuse and behavioral health a key focus of the CHNA Regional Medical Center has a strong internal medicine residency program that has fostered in-patient screening and treatment program for alcoholism RMC has Regional Psychiatric emergency room Trenton Health Team has begun a grant funded process that is implementing SBIRT (Screening with Brief Intervention and Referral to Treatment) for outpatients in the clinics and ED identified with a co-occurring substance and behavioral issue.
RMC DSRIP Hospital Wide Screening for Substance Use Disorder The objective is to increase the number of individuals entering Capital Health Regional Medical Center system who receive a screening for an alcohol or other drug dependence/substance use disorder Those who screen positive for an AOD/SUD will receive an assessment, a brief therapeutic intervention, and support in obtaining further treatment in an AOD/SUD and/or a behavioral health program. The project will enhance our clinicians ability to recognize incipient withdrawal syndromes, provide early evidence-based intervention, and prevent complications of the withdrawal syndrome. This should result in fewer individuals seeking treatment in the Emergency Department, a lower mortality rate for patients going through withdrawal, and, overall, better health outcomes for individuals with AOD/SUDs and co-occurring disorders.
Annual Budgets RMC Total direct and indirect costs $ 880,435 Economic value of this project $1,281,000 Total Program Value Peak Year $2,161,435 State DSRIP funds $3,585,000 60% of the DSRIP funds go toward program cost and generating community value.
