This project aims to reduce 90-day readmissions, improve crisis case management, and increase referrals to Community Mental Health services. By increasing face-to-face contacts post-discharge, enhancing case management efforts, and collaborating with CMH, we aim to decrease readmissions and support high-needs consumers. The project has shown progress in reducing readmits due to non-compliance and increasing crisis referrals. Through adaptation and intensive follow-up services, we strive to further enhance support for consumers. The cost impact has been significant with decreased inpatient fees. Join us in this collaborative effort to better support mental health consumers.
