CAP PC  (Child and Adolescent Psychiatry for Primary Care) is New York State's response to better meet the public health needs of its children and families by bolstering primary care physicians' abilities to assess and manage mild to moderate mental health problems in children and adolescents in their practices. 
Expanding Child and Adolescent Mental Health Support for Primary Care Provider s

CAP PC offers educational programming and consultation and referral/linkage support for primary care physicians across the state, including Staten Island.

CAP PC is pleased, once again, to offer all New York State primary care providers the REACH Institute's Mini-Fellowship in Child and Adolescent Mental Health for no-cost on November 6th, 7th, and 8th at Columbia University Medical Center/New York State Psychiatric Institute. This innovative program increases clinicians' comfort with assessing, diagnosing, and treating pediatric mental health concerns.

No PPS is an island, except this one: Interview with Joseph Conte
Crain's interviewed Executive Director, Joseph Conte after       SI PPS recently received nods from Jason Helgerson, NY State Medicaid Director, who called the PPS "one of the most advanced," and from Stephen Berger, NYS DSRIP Project Approval and Oversight Panelist, who recently visited Staten Island and told Crain's "We spent a very impressive day out there."


S IUH Rolling Out the Diabetes Self-Management Program 

The Diabetes Self-Management Program (DSMP) at Staten Island University Hospital (SIUH) is nationally recognized by the American Diabetes Association (ADA). 

The DSMP, run by a team of Certified Diabetes Educators (CDE), is dedicated to educating patients to be able to problem solve and better manage their diabetes

Has your organization signed up for the LGBTQ Cultural Awareness Training? 

This training, required for SI PPS' Cultural Competency and Health Literacy workstream, is facilitated by Dr. Lisa Sloan, Manager of Youth Services and Community Education at the Pride Center of Staten Island. 

This training works to remove barriers to care by equipping healthcare and social service providers with the knowledge and skills needed to engage with LGBTQ patients and clients.
"SI PPS leadership believes that Lean training  provides a common language of change management which could be introduced across many partner organizations. Adopting this common language would permit many formerly independently functioning organizations to join together to tackle and improve like processes which involve common patient groups." William D.  Myhre , MPA  Sr. Director of Workforce and HR,  Staten Island PPS.
LEAN Initiative News

RUMC LEAN UPDATE: The RUMC ED registration project was originally planned to streamline registration in order to add the Healthix community wide consent form into the process. Healthix implementation is important to the Staten Island PPS since it will facilitate the execution of several DSRIP projects across the provider system. Upon initial review of the project with the RUMC team, it was determined that the entire registration process could benefit from a LEAN initiative. The project now encompasses RUMC's entire registration process to look for waste and improve efficiency.

Officials hope the new funding will bring different agencies together which will lead to better care, and in turn, healthier Staten Islanders.

NY1's Anthony Pascale discussed the initiative with Health and Wellness Director of Staten Island Borough Presidents Office, Dr. Ginny Mantello, and Dr. Salvatore Volpe,  Chief Medical Officer of the Staten Island Performing Provider System.

Dental Problems Connected to 
Chronic Diseases 

Your mouth is the gateway to your body for bacteria-even simple chewing and tooth-brushing can release bacteria into your bloodstream.

More than 700 species of bacteria have been known to live in our mouths. A healthy mouth contains an abundance of harmless bacteria. When you fail to care for your teeth, however, you drastically increase the risk of losing the balance between good bacteria and harmful bacteria. Harmful bacteria can move throughout the body or release chemicals that affect other parts of your body.
