Why was the SBIRT program necessary in Rhode Island, and from CTC-RI's perspective, what did you hope to achieve?
How did the launch and 4-year operation of the SBIRT program help support the state?
CTC-RI hosted its quarterly peer learning best practice sharing meeting in November. Neil Sakar, President & CEO of the Rhode Island Quality Institute, along with Rob McConeghy, Health Data Analyst, and Sarah Eltinge, Health Data Science Manager, led a discussion on hypertension and hospitalizations using data from the RI Health Information Exchange.
The RI Maternal Psychiatry Resource (RI MomsPRN) Program, in partnership with CTC-RI, sponsored the October “Cannabis Use in the Perinatal Period” learning session.
At the September RI MomsPRN learning collaborative, all 9 Cohort 2 practices shared their challenges and successes encountered while implementing universal screening for anxiety, depression, and substance use disorder amongst their perinatal patients.
The September Clinical Strategy Committee (CSC) meeting featured a special Regional Team Component of the Community Health Team (CHT) Hybrid Model – Addressing Health-Related Social Needs (HRSN) for All Rhode Islanders.
The mission of CTC-RI is to support the continuing transformation of primary care in Rhode Island as the foundation of an ever-improving integrated, accessible, affordable, and equitable health care system. CTC-RI brings together critical stakeholders to implement, evaluate and spread effective multi-payer models to deliver, pay for and sustain high-quality, comprehensive, accountable primary care.
