PHS, formerly the Butler County Community Health Consortium (BCCHC), first received designation as a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) Look Alike (LAL) by the U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) in September 2006. By September 2007, BCCHC obtained full FQHC status as designated by HRSA. In 2010, BCCHC’s board approved changing the name of the organization to Primary Health Solutions. PHS provides primary care and behavioral health services in Southwest Ohio with centers in Hamilton, Fairfield, Middletown, Oxford, Dayton, and Trenton. Primary Health Solutions focuses on caring for the whole person by providing integrated behavioral healthcare to individuals of all ages. Primary Health Solutions utilizes Behaviorists, Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners, and board-certified Psychiatrists to address a wide range of behavioral health concerns. PHS providers use Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, focusing on current circumstances and future goals rather than past experiences. PHS provides behavioral health services across 22 sites, including 4 WIC sites and 8 school-based sites. Through QIF-TJI funding, PHS will implement jail-based primary care and case management services to develop reentry plans and coordinate community-based care post-release. Critical Health Needs to be addressed through programming include mental health and substance use disorder treatment needs, reducing risk of overdose, managing chronic conditions, and the prevention, screening, diagnosis, and treatment of HCV, HIV, and other infectious diseases. PHS will also facilitate case management services and collaborate with community partners to address Health Related Social Needs, including housing insecurity, financial strain, lack of transportation, intimate partner violence, and other needs as identified. To adequately address individual needs, PHS will partner with Butler County Corrections Center, under Butler County Sheriff’s Office to coordinate client screening, assessment, and transitions in care to community-based providers as individuals prepare for reentry. PHS will also partner with Fringe Industries, Butler County Transit Authority, and other community-based providers in order to meet clients’ health-related social needs post-release. Other program activities will include the provision of: - Health evaluation(s), to identify acute and chronic physical health, behavioral health, or oral health issues and associated needs. - Case management services, including reentry planning, referrals to specialty care, and connecting J-IR individuals with federal, state and local benefits programs to address critical health and health-related needs. - Primary health services including diagnosis, treatment, and medication management. - Immunizations and/or infectious disease screenings. - Behavioral health services, including MAT/MOUD and peer recovery support. - Pharmaceutical services, including medication management and MAT. - Transportation Services. Through HRSA QIF-TJI funding, PHS will: - Increase the number of JI-R individuals who receive in-scope health center services post-incarceration. - Improve health outcomes for JI-R individuals transitioning into the community. - Reduce recidivism among participants by improving reentry outcomes.
