While recent community health needs assessments had repeatedly pointed to gaps in mental and behavioral health services, staff at Ely-Bloomenson Community Hospital weren’t quite sure how to address those community concerns. The hospital’s participation in the Minnesota Path to Value Project (MNPTV) changed that. The hospital has since hired staff (including a new social worker), completed internal training on the social drivers of health, altered workflows and enhanced collaborations with area partners — all with one goal in mind: offering needed support to community members facing mental and behavioral health challenges.

Rural Healthcare Provider Transition Project (RHPTP) staff and consultants from Stratis Health completed on-site visits at two rural health clinics in south-central Texas last week — La Vernia Family Medical Center and Stockdale Family Medical Center. The clinics, current participants in RHPTP, are working on a quality improvement project that will embed quality processes into operations to help prepare for a transition to value-based care. Both clinics are scheduled to complete their work with Stratis Health at the end of the month and continue to work with RHPTP staff on implementation over the next year. #RuralHealth

Henry Community Health Services Center, Inc. — both participants in DRCHSD’s 2023 cohort — to gauge each facility’s financial and operational performance, and to develop plans to put best practices into place.
