“Medical respite program - ctc's 50 bed medical respite center provides a time and place to heal for adult men and women experiencing homelessness during periods of acute illness or injury. The ctc respite center admits 400-500 homeless individuals per year for an estimated average of 30 days length of stay. While admitted, patients receive medical care from ctc's team of physicians, nurses, caregivers, and other health providers. Patients are screened for eligibility for health insurance, food assistance, housing, disability, and other income-related entitlements. Each patient collaborates with a dedicated case manager to identify a safe discharge location with more than 75% of all patients successfully transitioning into housing other than the street or emergency shelter system. Outpatient program - in 2015, ctc launched a new arm of the organization aimed at providing compassionate, high quality health services to people experiencing homelessness in maricopa county. In fiscal year 2016, circle the city was pleased to launch the parsons family health center, a primary care practice with a comprehensive offering of integrative services available on site including psychiatry, licensed community social workers, substance abuse therapy, and community health workers. Additionally, a 2- exam room mobile unit and street-based teams provide outreach services into the community as an extension of the fixed site practice. Program growth - late in 2017, ctc received health resources and services administration (hrsa) notice of award for a supplemental competitive area competition enabling expansion to the downtown phoenix human services campus with both a planned family health center and medical respite center that together with four ancillary sites plus our existing sites will position us to serve more than 10,000 unique patients. Program excellence - the ctc medical respite program recently participated in a three-year study as a sub-recipient under a cms health innovations grant. In order for a medical respite program to be eligible to participate in the study, ctc's primary referral hospital(s)/hospital system(s) had to agree to share data including hospital claims, diagnoses, procedures, costs, and medicaid reimbursements for study enrollees on a quarterly basis. Hospital data was intended to help project administrators gain insight into local trends in advance of receiving state medicaid data which was collected less frequently. The study found that the combined medicaid and medicare reimbursement per enrollee per month changed from 2,220 in the 12 months pre-respite admission to 930 in the 12 months post-respite discharge, a 58% reduction.”
