Keynote: Our Values Create Value for All
At this pivotal point in the transformation of healthcare delivery systems in 黑料正能量, our recovery sector is perfectly poised to play a critical role in helping to improve outcomes for people with behavioral health related needs. Our values of person-driven care, wellness and community integration have become central elements of Medicaid reform. PROS has become a core benefit within the Medicaid program and the new Home and Community Based Services funding stream will make recovery and rehabilitation approaches available to thousands more. Our keynote speakers will look at how the central values of our recovery, rehabilitation and peer support movements bring great value to emerging new systems of care and the people they serve.

c.听听听听Health and Wellness: From Health Literacy to Wellness Self-Management
According to the American Medical Association, good health literacy skills are a stronger predictor of health status than age, income, education level, or racial/ethnic identification.
Building on our strong value on building strong relationships, effective communication and advancing good self-care, PROS and HCBS practitioners are in a unique position to contribute to improving health literacy and advancing wellness in our communities. Participants will learn about strategies to impart health literacy and gain some 鈥渉ands on experience鈥 through audience participation.

a.听听听听Psychiatric Rehabilitation Track- I know Partnerships with The People I serve are Critical鈥攂ut How Do I Do it?听
Creating equality in the practitioner-participant relationship, or partnership is one of the cornerstones of a recovery oriented PSR service. But as providers working with a large range for service recipients it is not easy to do. This workshop will provide an overview of the tools needed to create that partnership, including some exercises to clarify what the tools involve.听听听听听听听听听 听听听听

b.听听听Developing Truly Culturally Competent Service Delivery
Core to our success is our ability to engage effectively with everyone who seeks our services. This requires us to pay close attention to race, ethnicity, language and cultural background to reach our outcomes and eliminate disparities. Accordingly, a culturally and linguistically competent workforce and approach is critical to the success of new DSRIP initiatives.听 Our presenters will explore how one PPS in the Finger Lakes region is helping all members to be听aware of how culture influences personal understanding of health and illness, how this affects personal health practices, and how these views can be incorporated into health promotion and interventions.

c.听听听听Capturing the Value of our Outcomes Through EHR Documentation
Are you using data in the best way to support decision-making and service provision? Is your service contributing to the overall health of participants and the community? If so, how do you know? Good metrics can inform program operations, highlight trends, enhance collaboration and secure funding. Join our presenters as they offer some strategies for using data to help you support growth, functiion more efficiently, and improve the quality of your services.

Workshops Round 3 鈥 3:45pm 鈥 5:00pm
a.听听听听Psychiatric Rehabilitation Track-: Choosing a Valued Role: The Heart of PSR
Helping individuals to choose a role, valued by society and that the person wants to achieve is a major part of PSR services and their ability to promote recovery. However, facilitating choice is complicated by people鈥檚 lack of experience in making a choice, apparent lack of desire to do so or belief that they cannot ever achieve such a goal. The workshop will present an overview of the components of helping a person to set a personally meaningful recovery goal, despite the challenges it may present. Exercises are included in order to clarify the components.

Despite all of our efforts to advance quality vocational rehabilitation and employment support services, far too few people with disabilities are actually working.

c.听听听听The Impact of Racism and Poverty on Healthcare Access & Outcomes
Disparities in health and health care have been a longstanding challenge resulting in some populations receiving less and lower quality health care than others, restricting opportunities for access and understanding, thus experiencing poorer overall health outcomes.听 听Join our presenters as we explore strategies to change our practices, better understand cultures and learn about opportunities to overcome barriers and challenges in order to best integrate social factors with better practices to achieve population health quality outcomes.

Plenary II: The Recovery Sector is Essential to DSRIP Success
黑料正能量鈥檚 DSRIP initiative is our state鈥檚 primary strategy to transform our Medicaid healthcare system through the development of high performance regional PPS networks. Behavioral healthcare needs go frequently unaddressed or under addressed and contribute to the high rates of avoidable ER and inpatient use that the PPSs have been designed to reduce. As a result, community recovery providers have a critical role especially in the areas of outreach and engagement and crisis stabilization and diversion. The presenters will describe several strategies that PROS and HCBS providers can develop to be a critically valued partner in regional networks.

a.听听听听Psychiatric Rehabilitation Track- Assessing Skills & Resources in Recovery Oriented PSR Services:听 More Than a Checklist
I know what I want but now, how do I get there? Helping individuals assess their own strengths and challenges requires specific provider skills. This workshop听will present an overview of those skills and their application through exercises.

b.听听听听Creating a Culture of Learning through Supervision
As a supervisor, you are in a unique leadership position and can have an immediate positive impact on both your services and the participants who access them. As is true with individual recovery, we know that the creation of a recovery- oriented service system is not a simple, linear process – it requires new ways of thinking, a focus on strengths and an appreciation for the importance of life beyond services. This workshop is designed so supervisors have an opportunity to think about their current work, build on the strengths of their services and staff and consider changes that might need to be implemented.

c.听听听听Outreach, Engagement and Activation
All of the work that is underway to reshape and refocus integrated systems of care will be for naught if individuals with complex needs are not successfully introduced to and experience a personal connection with that care and feel motivated to improve their health and circumstances. The presenters will describe emerging new approaches that are finding success in starting where the individuals are, both in their lives and in their communities and in offering new approaches in wellness promotion.

a.听听听听Psychiatric Rehabilitation Track- The Technology of Skill Building in Recovery Oriented PSR
Helping people to develop skills can involve teaching or other strategies depending upon what people want and the strengths they begin with. Having a structured methodology to support people鈥檚 ability to build their skill base depends on the provider鈥檚 competencies in education, motivation, cognitive-behavioral strategies. The workshop will present an overview of skill building including some exercises to help clarify the concepts presented.

b.听听听Working Together Towards Population Health: Collaborating with Care Managers and Managed Care听
HARPs, Health Homes, Home and Community Based Services and DSRIP Performing Provider Systems: keeping up with the rapid pace of change and the increased complexity of new healthcare designs is extremely challenging to both providers and consumers alike. Each of these systems and services has its own set of admission policies and service regulations, often making it a challenge to work together efficiently and effectively. Accordingly, strong collaboration in both care management and delivery is essential. The presenters will look at emerging new approaches that are taking on these challenges and helping both consumers and providers find their way through the maze.听

c.听听听听Advancing Innovative Integrated Models to Promote Whole Health
Since the vast majority of those we serve deal with medical, mental health and addiction related challenges, our systems of care are moving from fragmented to integrated service designs and funding. Value based payment systems will offer if not require the development of approaches and outcomes that break down the silos and develop a seamless person centered system of quality care delivery for people with both behavioral and physical healthcare needs. Learn about emerging best practices in integrated care that you can take back to your agency and populations served.
