F254. EXPANDING THE REACH OF NAVIGATE CSC PROGRAMS ACROSS THE U.S.: WHAT DO WE KNOW?

摘要

BackgroundThe Recovery After Initial Schizophrenia Episode-Early Treatment Program (RAISE-ETP) study was a landmark investigation whose positive results led to increased funding and support to build first episode psychosis programs across the US. Every state in the country received dedicated funding to implement a coordinated specialty care (CSC) program designed to identify and treat persons with first episode psychosis within the context of the nation’s multi-payer health system. Since the funding began in 2014, numerous CSC programs have been developed but little is known about which models of treatment providers are implementing and the success of these programs. The research here presents data from a survey focusing on providing feedback from the first episode psychosis programs in the US implementing NAVIGATE, the CSC program utilized in RAISE-ETP. The survey targets the program directors in the NAVIGATE programs; the aims of the survey include 1) to describe the program characteristics of NAVIGATE teams in the US and 2) to better understand how NAVIGATE programs are identifying and enrolling people into their services. Capturing local data on CSC team composition and case identification strategies is particularly critical in multi-payer systems lacking guidance and oversight from a national health system.
