Activity 2

Adult services for many adults, there was a reduction in eligibility in the medicaid system and with those changes the year brought a corresponding budget reduction for services to adults. Despite these changes, the adult services department continued to grow its behavioral health services for adults through diverse funding areas while the challenge renewed staff's commitment to improving clinical services. Valle del sol continued to strive to be the provider of choice for all behavioral and physical health needs to adults in our community.a new grant based program, in partnership with substance abuse and mental health services administration (samsha) provided hepatitis c screenings as well as education and counseling (cont. Schedule o) services for 200 members who were considered high risk for contracting the hepatitis c virus and would not otherwise have access to the free screenings. The program worked well in being able to coordinate the services between screening, counseling, education in behavioral health, and the physicians in the agency's primary healthcare clinic when they tested positive for hepatitis c and needed follow up medical care. This program highlights the importance for coordinated treatment efforts in order to receive the best whole health outcomes for members.in serving a diverse community with diverse needs, valle del sol clinically and culturally competent staff continued to provide outstanding quality of services. Medical assistants were hired to serve behavioral health members by integrating the total health approach. This integration of services provided a continuum of care that bridged the gap many members previously faced in trying to coordinate their healthcare needs. Several staff completed their bachelor or associate degrees, which allowed them to expand their scope of services. In addition, a number of staff received their independent license in social work or counseling. With this license, they were able to train and supervise new counselors seeking licensure status. The increase in independent licensed staff also helped expand behavioral health services through additional insurance panels in order to give more individuals in the community access to services. In several audits conducted by funders to ensure quality services, the adult services program received scores above 90 percent, which were above the established thresholds of 85 percent. In an audit conducted for adult behavioral health services, the agency received a record high score off 99.13 percent. These scores are a reflection of the adult services team of dedicated culturally competent and experienced professionals. An adult services functional improvement assessment was conducted with 1,311 members. Based on global assessment of functioning diagnosis, 75.3 percent felt they were improving or stable.
