4 Engagement Challenges Client is discharged prior to the referral Homelessness difficult to find Client has no phone Limited cell minutes Distrust of the system Active substance abuse Mental Health issues Disjointed systems

5 Tips and Tricks for Finding This Population Start with the referral does the discharge planner know this client? Can they call next time s/he comes in? If enrolled in substance abuse or mental health services call the CM. Those on Methadone can usually be tracked at the clinic Call the PCP s office ask staff to have the client call at next visit or staff can meet client at the next scheduled visit.

6 Tips and Tricks Continued Check the jail register Check with local shelter staff Check ACES for alternate phone numbers or addresses. Sometimes the narrative reveals other providers or relatives that can be contacted Call the mobile medical or dental van Be persistent and use various communication methods telephone, letter, in person Be flexible and nimble!
