Partnerships with Higher Education Academic Institutions
Lone Star Circle of Care (Georgetown, TX):•FQHC serving several counties in central Texas•Behaviorally-enhanced patient-centered health care home•Partnership with Texas A&M Health Science Center (TAMHSC)
– LSCC operates a clinical “hub” at the TAMHSC College of Medicine facility in Round Rock, TX (Seton Family of Hospitals funded start-up costs for this clinical hub)
– LSCC is an affiliate of the TAMHSC College of Medicine – LSCC doctors act as clinical faculty; medical students rotate through LSCC clinics
•Similar partnerships with other academic institutions place students, interns, and residents at LSCC

Partnerships with Higher Education Academic Institutions
Lone Star Circle of Care (Georgetown, TX):• Teaching partnerships include:
– Texas A&M Health Science Center (medical students)– UT Southwestern (psychiatry and pediatric residents)– UT School of Social Work (master level social work
students)– UT Department of Educational Psychology (PhD students
and interns)– Texas State School of Nursing– UT nurse practitioner students– Austin Community College and other local CMA programs

LSCC Academic Partnerships (cont.)Partnership benefits for LSCC, academic institutions, and students/residents:•Students/residents learn about practicing in an integrated setting•Students/residents learn about practicing in a community health center setting with underserved populations•Students/residents and their schools benefit from the expertise of LSCC staff•The opportunity to serve as clinical faculty is a selling point in the recruitment and retention of staff for LSCC•LSCC benefits from the services provided by students/residents and also from the creation of a “pipeline” of potential future staff
8
Partnerships with Hospitals/Emergency Rooms
Community Health Centers of South Central Texas (Gonzales, TX):•FQHC in south central Texas that partners with Bluebonnet Trails Community Services (local mental health authority) to provide integrated health care services•Strong “three-way” collaboration – CHCSCT, BTCS, hospital•High level of trust among the collaborating organizations; strong relationship among the three CEOs as well as among other staff•Health Care Coordinator hired with Hogg Foundation funding; works to strengthen relationships across the community•Collaborative focus on prevention/reducing ER utilization
– Health Care Coordinator works with hospital nurses to promote referrals to CHCSCT, particularly for “high utilizers”
– “Patient portal” allows hospital staff to access CHCSCT’s schedule online and make appointments for patients
– Patient navigators placed in ER further enhance coordination of care 9

Partnerships with/within Other Community Settings
Harris County Protective Services (Houston, TX):•Has received Hogg Foundation funding for an integrated health care clinic for children in foster care
•HCPS already had a medical clinic (staffed by a pediatrician through a partnership with the University of Texas Health Science Center)
•Psychological evaluations have been provided through the Children’s Crisis Care Center (4Cs), but there has been little communication between the medical clinic, the 4Cs, and other providers
11
HCPS Partnership (cont.)
• Very collaborative, intentional planning process for integrated clinic
• Key components of plan (implementation to begin soon):– Coordination of care across the HCPS system (clinic, 4Cs,
etc.)– Provision of psychiatry services (direct and/or consultation
to pediatrician) through partnership– Hiring of a Care Manager
• Future plans
