Background and Discussion:
On July 20, 2021, the Harris County Commissioners Court unanimously passed a resolution to create the countywide Initiative, Accessing Coordinated Care and Empowering Self Sufficiency Harris County (ACCESS Harris County) as part of its overall strategic priorities to strengthen service delivery to support the County’s most vulnerable, high needs residents in order to achieve self-sufficiency, recovery, and well-being. The Initiative will achieve this objective by identifying vulnerable county residents who are experiencing a myriad of challenges related to social, economic, health and behavioral health, substance use, unemployment, community/individual violence issues, and criminal justice involvement and will work to provide the help they need. ACCESS Harris County is an integrated, care-coordination model that works across County safety net departments and community-based organizations to establish multidisciplinary or care coordination teams. These teams are designed to deliver coordinated and integrated services across systems and programs that focuses on supporting a client holistically, addressing multiple needs that ensure better outcomes and greater stability.
Expected Impact:
The objectives of ACCESS Harris County are to:
•To improve the health, well-being, sustained recovery, and self-sufficiency of the County’s most vulnerable residents
•To develop and implement a plan to coordinate agency services and reduce duplication of services
•To improve integrated services delivery referrals, access, and sustained engagement of clients
•To develop strategies and policies for improved efficiencies, better utilization, and better outcomes
•To develop an integrated data sharing system to support care coordination across agencies
