CSH Hot Topics Audio Conference Call

Wednesday, January 27, 2010 from 2:00 to 3:00 PM ET

A growing body of research provides ample evidence of the failure of existing, fragmented systems of care in meeting the needs of persons who repeatedly cycle through our shelter, correctional, and emergency health care systems. These persons - often referred to as “frequent users” or “high utilizers” of public services - have complex health and behavioral health problems but do not have access to a coordinated system of care where their health issues can be successfully managed. This dynamic, coupled with a lack of stable housing, forces frequent users through a revolving door of multiple, costly crisis services and institutional settings.

Our guest speakers will talk about opportunities, challenges and some of the successes that they have experienced with programs focused on frequent users of health and correctional systems. Additionally, CSH policy staff will provide the latest information available regarding health care reform and its impact on vulnerable, low-income populations, including frequent users of health systems.
