UPDATE ON PEER SUPPORT/ICT 04-11-18
Bob Tryanski, Behavioral Health Coordinator, updated the Board on the status of the Peer Support and the Integrated Crisis Team. Other care coordinators present for the meeting were: Bill Welch, Josh Reece and Derek Hurst with the Peer Support Team; Amy Warren, Bert Nash; and Stacey Cooper, Mary Jackson and Jason Hess, RADAC.
Tryanski stated the challenge for our area is we have places in our community where people end up in crisis cycling in and out of jail, the shelter and the emergency room. Tryanski stated by forming an Integrated Crisis Team, we can serve people by meeting patients where they are 24/7 and providing intervention and consultation that will assure better outcomes. They can help those who show up at the ER to improve care coordination, transition and follow-up. This team can provide an effective connection to primary care and outpatient services which in return should reduce return visits to the emergency department and maintain community tenure.
Derek Hurst, Director of the Integrated Crisis Team, stated we are looking to do what is most trauma informed by focusing on giving good care, showing concern and taking care of immediate needs.
Peer Support was brought in by Bert Nash. It provides support by developing and maintaining trust from a shared experience. The team will be housed at Bert Nash which is located across from the hospital. Peer Support is only a few steps away and will provide experts in navigating the system because they understand how the organizations work and can connect patients to other resources.
