11 1115 IDD Projects 28 Specific 1115 Projects Across Texas 44 Additional Mental Health 1115 Projects that are not specific, but include IDD IDD Projects within the West Texas Region: Betty Hardwick, Concho Valley, Emergence Health Network, Helen Farabee, StarCare Specialty Health, Texas Panhandle, West Texas Centers

12 Specific 1115 IDD Projects Crisis Response Team Crisis Stabilization Respite Dual Diagnosis Clinic Drop in Skills Training Program Behavior Day Treatment Program Health & Wellness Program Autism Day Treatment & Behavior Support Outreach Therapeutic Intervention for Infants & Toddlers at Risk

13 1115 IDD Crisis Projects The primary focus for 1115 IDD funding is projects to address the growing need for Crisis Support Services for individuals with a dual diagnosis of Intellectual & Developmental Disabilities (IDD) / Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and Mental Illness who may experience a psychiatric/behavioral crisis or significant life transition that presents a risk for institutional placement or a loss of their current home in the community. The objective of these services would be to prevent inappropriate use of Emergency Rooms, Jails, or Psychiatric Hospitals, when the need for service can be effectively met in a more natural, less restrictive, and less costly setting.

14 New Model of Service This new model of care will provide wrap-around services for the individual that includes Psychiatric Services, On-Call Crisis Response Teams and a Crisis Respite Facility. Recipients would have access to a team of professionals: Psychiatrist, Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, RN, LPC/LPA, Behavioral Specialists, and Skills Trainers to assess needs, identify resources, link to a network of resources within the team and through contracted providers, and assure services are provided that will appropriately de-escalate the crisis in the community when possible.

15 New Model of Service The team will develop strategies to build skills of individuals and competency of their support network to address the individual’s future needs more adequately, targeting crisis prevention. While this model of care is not designed to replace natural support systems or formal residential care systems, it is specifically targeted to insert a new support for individuals in between these systems and institutional care or loss of current home environment.

19  People with Severe Mental Illness (SMI) have a life expectancy of 25 years less than people without SMI.  A significant number of those with SMI do not receive adequate primary treatment for medical conditions.  They instead consume costly emergency department services for medical conditions that could have been managed by primary care outpatient physicians. Severe Mental Illness

20  PBCC will start providing primary care services in our outpatient clinics next year as a part of a new Medicaid waiver program  We see approximately 1200 people in our Midland and Odessa clinics

21  20.3% of Long-Term Diabetes  44.4% of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

22  High rates of chronic disease  High costs associated with preventable admissions  Shortage of health care professionals
