In May, AHI formed a DSRIP Project Advisory Committee, or PAC, that was charged with producing DSRIP project recommendations in a very short time-frame. The PAC identified the following projects as the highest priorities to develop with support of planning dollars:
| 2.a.i | Create integrated delivery systems |
| 2.a.iv | Create a medical village using existing hospital infrastructure |
| 2.a.v | Create a medical village / alternative housing using existing nursing home |
| 2.b.iv | Care transitions intervention model to reduce 30 day re-admissions |
| 2.b.viii | Hospital-Home Care Collaboration Solutions |
| 3.a.i | Integration of primary care services and behavioral health |
| 3.a.ii | Behavioral health community crisis stabilization services |
| 3.a.iv | Development of withdrawal management (ambulatory detoxification) capabilities |
| 3.g.i | Palliative Care: IHI and other “Conversation Ready” Models |
| 4.a.iii | Strengthen mental health and substance abuse infrastructure across systems |
| 4.b.ii | Increase access to high quality chronic disease preventive care and management |
At this time, 5 projects are listed from Domain 2: Systems Transformation. Only 4 projects can be part of the overall DSRIP project valuation that occurs in December. AHI will make the case that, in our rural area, a single project titled “Create a medical village using existing institutional infrastructure” could encompass both the hospital and nursing home medical village projects. Importantly, the group highly valued telemedicine as a strategy, but felt a telemedicine project could be incorporated into other projects.
