View Award Description

Establishing Lifeline Connections as a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic - This project will establish Lifeline Connections as one of the first Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics in Washington State. The goal is to meet the demand for high quality health care, both behavioral and primary, for low-income Medicaid-eligible adults, youth, and children with mental health, substance use, and co-occurring disorders in Clark County, Washington. The region is home to nearly 500,000 people and has one of the highest rates of mental illness in the country. The project has a targeted focus on: (1) individuals with complex co-morbid (behavioral and primary) conditions, (2) individuals with opioid use disorder (OUD), (3) children and adolescents with severe emotional disturbance, and (4) veterans unable to access care at the local Veterans’ Administration facility. Goals of the project are to: (1) meet all CCBHC certification criteria by 12/31/2020; (2) expand care coordination for people with complex co-morbid conditions, (3) establish a chronic disease model for people with opioid use disorders, (4) expand children’s mental health services, (5) expand primary care services, and (6) enhance services to veterans. We expect to achieve the following outcomes: (1) full compliance with CCBHC Criteria by 12/31/2020, (2) increase by 15% each project year the number of adults receiving care coordination for co-morbid conditions, (3) increase by 15% each project year the number of patients with OUD receiving chronic disease case management, (4) increase by 15% each project year the number of children/youth receiving behavioral healthcare services, (5) increase by 25% each project year the number of patients receiving primary and behavioral health services, and (6) enhance community-based care for veterans by adding 1 FTE engagement specialist and training staff across agency in clinical treatment for vets within a military culture and context. Lifeline Connections is well positioned to meet all CCBHC criteria with over 90% of services and partnerships in place and a plan to become certified within four months of award. The agency has relationships with state Medicaid Authority and state health care authority and will advocate for a formal CCBHC process in Washington State. The agency currently serves approximately 4,000 people per year in Clark County, all of whom will benefit from a CCBHC. Annually the project will serve an additional 750 unduplicated clients and a total of an additional 1,500 unduplicated children, youth and adults over two years.
