TSINY’s Behavioral Health Care Coordination Program provides care management to individuals with serious mental illness and/or chronic health conditions. The program goal is to assist individuals in improving wellness and encourage coordinated access to community-based healthcare while preventing avoidable use of emergency room and inpatient healthcare. Care Coordinators assess the individual person’s physical health, mental health, substance abuse, and social service needs and work with each person to develop an integrated plan of care to address each need. The Care Coordinator also helps individuals manage their plan of care by accessing appropriate services, facilitate communication across health care providers and assist the person in following the plan of care.
The following services are provided:
- Comprehensive care management
- Care coordination and health promotion
- Comprehensive transitional care from inpatient to other settings with appropriate follow-up
- Individual and family support, which includes authorized representatives
- Referral to community and social support services
