| | | | | | | | | III. | BACKGROUND AND IMPLICATIONS OF ACTION |
|
| | | | | | | | | | A) | Board Action and Other History | | | | Coordinated Opioid Recovery (CORE) Network of Addiction Care is a program coordinated at the State level by the Florida Department of Children and Families and the Florida Department of Health. CORE is an integrated system of care first piloted in Palm Beach County, and the model is now being replicated across the state under a state appropriation to these agencies, with funding funneled to the local level by the regional Managing Entity. For our region, this Managing Entity is Central Florida Behavior Health Network, Inc. (CFBHN).
The program consists of the initiation of Medication Assisted Treatment in the field following an overdose. After transport to the hospital, the individual is provided transport and care in a multi-specialty medical group, which typically includes housing. The long-term success of the program involves counseling, financial, behavioral health, and other medical care and services.
This agreement will allow for the recovery of costs associated with EMS providing this service in the field in conjunction with a coordinated system of care established by CFBHN. The component EMS will engage in is the education of the patient, establishing consent, and administration of the first dose of medication in conjunction with other medications given to reverse the effects of an overdose.
The total amount of this extension is $158,827.00. The term of the extension is through the end of the state fiscal year.
