Our action items here at the Bree Collaborative are assignments to which we hold ourselves accountable. We make sure to write these down in our minutes and again over many many emails. Our action items for the rest of 2019 involve planning for implementation \u2013 including the March 17th<\/sup> conference, working with our pilot group of primary care clinics and the broader community to integrate behavioral health, our community assessment, and on moving the health care system to value \u2013 as well finishing our 2019 recommendations and planning for our 2020 workgroups.<\/p>\n As we head into the holiday season, we have action items<\/strong> for you!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Public comment on our draft Maternity Bundled Payment Model <\/a>and Risk of Violence to Others Recommendations<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Our workgroups have been working diligently since January to develop evidence-based recommendations for maternity care and for those who may be at a risk of violence to others. We have heard clearly that these issues are important to our community and we want to make sure that we are moving our whole health care system forward.<\/p>\n We know that pregnancy and childbirth are life-changing, monumental experiences that greatly impact the gestational parent and form the basis for a child\u2019s future. We have spent the last eleven months drafting a payment model that includes prenatal care, labor and delivery, and postpartum care along with clinical components for internal quality tracking and performance metrics and now want to hear from you.<\/p>\n Action Item:<\/strong> Please read the Maternity Bundle here<\/a> and take our survey here: www.surveymonkey.com\/r\/ob-bundle<\/a>.<\/p>\n We also know that providers can assess and monitor an individual\u2019s risk factors for violence and use clinical decision-making aimed to mitigate risk of violence,\u00a0but cannot predict violent acts with certainty. Our workgroup has developed recommendations to balance high-quality patient care and the patient\u2019s right to and expectation of confidentiality and of care in the least restrictive environment with mental health professionals\u2019 position to take measures to protect non-patient third parties in certain circumstances.<\/p>\n Action Item:<\/strong> Please read the Risk of Violence to Others recommendations here<\/a> and take our survey here: www.surveymonkey.com\/r\/risk-violence-others<\/a>.<\/p>\n We estimate that the surveys will take 5-10 minutes to complete.
