The HOPE Consortium has again been hard at work! After many months of infrastructure building, it's clear that we're ready to move on and start working together to unify our treatment practices and referral processes around best practices for the clients we serve. The Treatment Path Committee is geared up and ready to get started on this important undertaking.
As usual, if you have something you'd like to add to a future update, please feel free to contact Rachel Stankowski by email
or (715)389-3442. Similarly, for any questions, comments, or concerns about the newsletter updates, contact Rachel and she'll put you in touch with the person best able to assist you.
We look forward to seeing many of you very soon!

Marshfield Clinic Center for Community Outreach

Critical Next Step: MOU/BAA
The HOPE Consortium memorandum of understanding (MOU)/business associate agreement (BAA) has been distributed and is really critical to next steps in the consortium. Following signature, patients can be officially consented for participation in grant services and data can be collected using the REDCap system. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to facilitate the process at your organization. Rachel Stankowski and Sheila Weix recently presented about the HOPE Consortium to the Price County Health and Human Services Board and had a great conversation with board members stimulated by the many questions and comments that arose. We'd be happy to take this show back on the road -- have material, will travel!

HOPE Consortium Board Meeting Summary
We held our last HOPE Consortium Board Meeting on September 23rd at the Marshfield Clinic Minocqua Center. With 21 individuals in attendance, we achieved representation from nearly all our regional partners and were happy to welcome Gail Chapman from the Wisconsin Department of Health Services to the table. Infrastructure development served as a primary meeting focus in the morning and relevant items, such as regional MAT availability, signing the HOPE Consortium MOU/BAA, patient consent, collection of data in REDCap, the mission/vision statement, and ongoing communication, were addressed. There was a clear message, however, that treatment practices need to be discussed at greater length. Treatment Path Committee meetings will convene in the near future (see Schedule at a Glance below). An Ad Hoc Infrastructure Committee was also formed to address ongoing infrastructure needs. After lunch, the group delved into the topics of future training, resources for treating nicotine dependence, HOPE Consortium printed materials and website, and the upcoming Recovery Corps grant to bring recovery coach services to our region.
Complete notes from the meeting will be forthcoming.

Care Coordination Snapshot
A huge thanks to Dottie Moffat for providing us with an up-to-date snapshot of consortium-supported care coordination services provided from January through September 2016. Again, the numbers are really exciting. This year, 138 referrals have resulted in 112 (81%) clients being seen by care coordinators for a total of 190 team meetings and an additional 409 individual contacts/visits. Sixty-two percent of these clients have minor children in the home, for a total of 186 affected children in addition to 11 pregnant women. In the three months since Dottie's last update in June, that's an additional 35 referrals, 24 clients, 94 team meetings, 154 individual contacts/visits, 60 affected children, and 6 pregnant women. Our care coordinators are doing an amazing job!

2017 Schedule at a Glance
Busy schedules and clinical responsibilities make scheduling difficult for our large group. In 2016, we scheduled all six board meetings in advance and had excellent attendance. Based on this success, we're doing our best to plan everything well in advance. For the upcoming year, we'll be taking advanced scheduling and the need for constant contact a step further. In the next couple of weeks, be on the lookout for an email from Becky Wagner with a complete schedule at a glance, including board meetings, treatment path committee meetings, training committee meetings, and other teleconferences. In 2017, you can expect:
- Board Meetings: bi-monthly
- January, March, May, July, September, November
- Treatment Path Committee Meetings:
- 2 day-long meetings, shorter monthly meeting via videoconference
- Training Committee Meetings:
- 1 day-long training committee meeting December 8, 2016, to plan the 2017 training calendar. In August 2017 the training committee will convene to plan the 2018 training calendar.
- Monthly Teleconferences: open to all partners
