Altarum and RTI met with Minnesota Department of Health Team to learn more about their TA request. They were looking to implement PRSS into their emergency department settings but are having difficulty getting buy-in from hospital leadership. Altarum followed up with a sample MOU, release of information form, job description, webinar, and 2-pager on the efficacy of peer supports. RTI provided a warm hand-off to a contact at Thrive in Ohio, as they are adept at integrating PRSS into emergency department hospital settings.
In January, Altarum staff met with Ashley Anderson from MHD to discuss specific TA needs related to launching peer support, as she is new to the project and will be taking over implementation. Ashley will be meeting with Altarum monthly to remain engaged and to identify any tools and TA that can be of assistance as she builds out their state-wide PRSS program.
