[Self-Management_OR] 2019-2020 Sustainable Relationships for Community Health (SRCH) RFGP Opportunity

[Pope Shira R]

OHA-PHD, Health Promotion and Chronic Disease Prevention (HPCDP) wishes to inform you that the Sustainable Relationships for Community Health (SRCH) Request for Grant Proposals (RFGP) will be released in early May 2019, and applications will be due in early June. SRCH is an innovative model to advance health system improvements that support chronic disease prevention and management. Creating sustainable and effective relationships between community partners improves preventive and chronic care services as well as health outcomes, reduces healthcare costs, and promotes equity.

SRCH brings together teams comprised of partners from:

  *   Local Public Health Authorities (LPHA) or organizations administering TPEP and/or ADPEP programs,
  *   Oregon Federally Recognized Tribes or Urban Indian Health Programs that administer an ADPEP or TPEP programs, and
  *   Coordinated Care Organizations (CCO)
to implement evidence-based interventions and services for sustainable health system change.

These teams are encouraged to invite and fund other key partners involved in health system transformation (Regional Health Equity Coalitions (RHECs), clinics, community-based organizational partners delivering self-management programs) to create sustainable, effective relationships between community partners to improve preventive and chronic care services, improve health outcomes, reduce healthcare costs, and promote equity.

The SRCH initiatives focus on strategies specific to the leading causes of death and disability in Oregon:

  *   Chronic diseases - arthritis, asthma, colorectal cancer, diabetes, prediabetes and hypertension
  *   Associated risk factors -  tobacco, physical inactivity, poor nutrition, alcohol misuse

SRCH will provide Recipient teams the opportunity to develop and strengthen relationships, co-design strategies to formalize infrastructure and/or arrangements between health system partners and community-based organizational partners (e.g., closed loop referrals, memorandums of understanding), implement quality improvement processes, and collect, analyze and share data to reduce some of the leading causes of death and disability in Oregon. Developing and improving these sustainable systems may require steps such as creating new payment or reimbursement strategies, increasing the capacity of community-based self-management programs, building and improving closed loop referral systems, and documenting referral outcomes.

OHA anticipates awarding at least three Grants not to exceed $120,000 each for the period of July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020.

Please see the attached PDF overview of the 2019-2020 SRCH RFGP Opportunity for more information.
