        <ExplanationTxt>Part V, Section B, Line 11: Page 8, Part V, Section B, Line 11:The community health needs assessment was completed in 2018. The following community health priority areas were identified: Mental Health, Obesity/Diabetes and Tobacco and e-cigarette use and exposure. Avera Marshall initiated measures to address the identified needs, however, the Covid pandemic hindered some actions and programs. Avera Marshall plans to resume actions in the implementation strategy in 2021. Mental Health - Increase the proportion of adults and children with mental health disorders who receive treatment. Improve behavioral health (BH) access and quality care. Increase appropriate use of screening and prevention services. FY2020 Update: Every patient admitted is screened with the PHQ9, GAD7 and AUDIT tool. Using the AUDIT tool, if a patient scores in a range of unhealthy alcohol use we are providing a brief intervention utilizing the SBIRT technique and training. All inpatient hospital staff is trained in SBIRT and motivational interviewing to address readiness for change in regards to substance abuse. An inpatient therapist is trained in performing Rule 25 Assessment, a state of Minnesota administrative rule regarding chemical use assessment. With Rule 25, we are able to get patients referred to the appropriate level of substance use treatment directly from our unit post-discharge.-Increase awareness and reduce stigma around mental health issues and assist disbursing local resource materials. Increase involvement with National Alliance on Mental Illness of Minnesota (NAMI). FY2020 Update: Provide stigma session as part of group programming. Provide handout for local resources and NAMI. -Tap into depression resources -Provide employees with a depression screening toolFY2020 Update: LiveNow Screening offers a depression screening tool for employees.

FY2020 Update: All patients discharged from the inpatient side receive post-discharge referrals/appointments to follow up after hospitalization. -Continue to operate mental health services, including inpatient and outpatient psychiatry programs. Partner with mental health providers to offer education on stress management to our patients and the community. FY2020 Update: Inpatients have group programming with sessions focused on symptom management, including stress management. Patients work with staff to create a crisis response plan (CRP) throughout their admission to be completed at discharge. Moving forward, we will be a member of Upper MN River Valley Suicide Prevention Coalition whose goal is to work with community partners to decrease suicide. Through this group we can also offer SAVE training to employees. As part of the Minnesota Hospital Association (MHA) Mental and Behavioral Health Committee, we were on a sub group that designed the inpatient suicide and self-harm road map for MHA. -Further integrate mental health services into Primary Care. Monitor and improve collaborative opportunities between medical and behavioral health care. FY2020 Update: Currently working on an IHP grant with Western Mental Health and care coordination. The Care coordination team works closely with referred patients who have mental health needx and coordinates with Western Mental Health and other outpatient services. -Position Avera Marshall Behavioral Health as a Center of Excellence for the practice of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) as champion for the Zero Suicide initiative. FY2020 Update: Continue to partner with Zero Suicide. Working with Dr. Craig Bryan on developing his evidence-based treatment that is used in the outpatient setting to a format that will work on a short-term inpatient unit. Select staff have been trained in his B-CBT program. Our inpatient therapist was selected to become a certified trainer in B-CBT which will allow us to have a local resource and expert moving forward. Obesity/Diabetes-Continue to collaborate with partner agencies to assist community members in obtaining needed nutritional information.
