Nami by your side - nami would pair trained peer support mentors with caloptima health members to provide tailored, social support and resource navigation beginning during a hospital inpatient stay or emergency room visit and lasting up to six months post-discharge, based on members' needs. Specifically, peer support mentors would facilitate members in scheduling and attending follow-up primary care physician (pcp) or other physician appointments (especially post-discharge), connect the member to their enhanced case management provider (or make a referral to one), help members build their social support network including family members (including training), and connect members to other social and behavioral support services.the overall program goals include: (1) facilitate behavioral health transitions from hospital to home/community; (2) support behavioral health integration through peer facilitating member connection to ecm. (3) improve caloptima health's hedis fum1 measure; and (4) ultimately, reduce readmissions at psychiatric hospital through family and resource connection.
