Health Hme Criminal Justice Tiger Team CJ Acuity Scre Sub-Cmmittee
CJ Acuity Tiger Team Charges PURPOSE: T assess and determine acuity scres fr individuals being released frm jail and r prisn, and t assess and determine acuity scres fr the CJ ppulatin residing in the cmmunity wh have been recently released in rder t minimize recidivism RESPONSIBILITIES: 1. Develp referral criteria fr determining health hme service eligibility which includes assessing ptential members 2. Create a standardized set f Risk Categries t be utilized fr assessment f the apprpriateness f the referrals 3. Utilize acuity created fr bttm up/ cmmunity referral prcess as the pssible baseline fr determining acuity fr this ppulatin 4. Determining a base line acuity scre 5. Integrate this infrmatin with the Cnslidated wrkgrup and criminal Justice Wrkgrup

Definitins f the categries and Risks At Risk: Members at Risk are identified as being part f the higher risk bucket where as they are likely t use mre inpatient services. Fr the CJ ppulatin the term At Risk is used t Statistically validated factrs that predict the prbability f an ffender cmmitting assaultive and prperty crimes while n parle N Prvider r inadequate Cnnectivity.: Members withut a prvider are thse members that have n PCP r specialist linkage. Members with inadequate prvider cnnectivity culd be classified as thse individuals that might have an identified PCP r specialist prvider but because f a ptential barrier, members lse cnnectivity i.e language barriers, lcatin, pr care being received as perceived by the member Nn-adherence t treatments r medicatin(s)r difficulty managing medical appintments : The mst cmmn definitin f nn-adherence refers t chrnic under-use, i.e. patients use less medicatin than prescribed, r prematurely stp the therapy when the persn have difficulties managing sppintments culd be a secndary result f any f the ther risks factrs listed here Inapprpriate ED use OR Repeated recent hspitalizatin fr preventable cnditins either medical r psychiatric.
