About this organization
Mission
To unite public and private health care providers and key community stakeholders to promote high-quality, high-value, and patient-centered care for all members of the Santa Cruz County community with a focus on the safety net.
About
Safety Net Clinic Coalition (SNCC) & SNCC Medical Directors (SNCC MD) - SNCC and SNCC MD are core HIP activities convened quarterly with the 2020 vision of creating a 'comprehensive, well-coordinated system of high quality, affordable care with an easily accessible medical home for all low-income residents'. With this vision and HIP's focus areas in mind, we held survey discussions with both coalitions on their priorities, needs and alignment with HIP efforts. 21 organizations, 75 attendees. Integrated Behavioral Health Action Coalition - In April 2015, HIP launched what is now IBHAC, a broad-sector community coalition which strives to create a collaborative, integrative, and inclusive system of whole person care in Santa Cruz County. 10 meetings, 48 organizations, 244 attendees. In recent months, this group has deepened relationships and more robustly included substance use disorders in the term 'behavioral health'. With continued funding from Blue Shield of California Foundation, IBHAC will become a learning community to enhance understanding of addiction as a chronic condition, work toward improved care coordination, and more seamless care transitions. Technical assistance and training support for universal implementation of screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment (SBIRT) in multiple settings will improve the local standard of care. Primary care and ED clinicians will enhance their skill in motivational interviewing through the use of a self-paced, interactive, web-based training platform from Kognito. HIP Council - HIPC is core to HIP's mission to 'provide a neutral table or platform - a nexus - where leaders can and do convene'. Monthly meetings bring together the healthcare decision-makers in the community to inform and discuss issues that are beyond any one organization's capacity or domain, yet affect all of us. Consistent with HIP's direction to fully engage mental health and substance use treatment in the healthcare conversation, we are excited to welcome new HIPC participant organizations, Encompass Community Services and Janus of Santa Cruz, to the board of directors. Complex Care Coordination - HIP's role is to lead sustainable systems change to advance care coordination for our most vulnerable residents. HIP convenes partners to tackle the challenges of complex care coordination across multiple care settings including the hospital, clinics, mental health and substance use disorder treatment and housing agencies. We are also creating a forum to test and prepare for the CA Health Homes Program. HIP Community Forum - At this transformational time, the added demands on healthcare providers have taken a toll. Burnout and subsequent low provider retention are sweeping the nation's healthcare staff and putting patients' safety at risk. At the 2018 Community Forum, we pivot this focus to joy. How can we promote joy (healthcare's greatest asset)? Featuring the leading researcher on employee burnout, Christina Maslach, Ph.D. Safe Prescribing - SafeRx Santa Cruz County brings together patients, healthcare providers, behavioral health practitioners, prevention partners, and the community to decrease misuse and deaths related to prescription pain medications. Driven by commitments to health, safety and compassion, representatives from fifteen agencies comprise the interdisciplinary steering committee. Continuing Medical Education - Continuing Medical Education events in 2017 branched out from traditional pain management techniques. May 2017 featured crucial conversations with patients: understanding managing chronic pain in patients with substance use disorder and September 2017 featured the neuroscience of pain and addiction: tools for the primary care and behavioral health visit.
