DSRIP on HWapps: An In-Depth Look

The Delivery System Reform Incentive Payment (DSRIP) Program is an initiative in the state of New York that aims to reduce avoidable Medicaid hospitalizations by 25% over 5 years. In order to accomplish this goal, the health care workforce will undergo massive changes.  The DSRIP initiative, managed by the New York State Department of Health, requires participating organizations to provide massive amounts of data, including tracking and managing the healthcare workforce across multiple organizations. Multiple organizations in New York State hired the Central New York AHEC (CNYAHEC) as health workforce consultants.

In order to meet New York State’s requirements, the Central New York AHEC needed a platform that would help manage and track the health workforce transition.

Solution

The HWapps DSRIP section is an entirely custom-built section of the HWapps platform. Partner organizations can input all their data that is required by New York State for reporting purposes. These same partner organizations can also track and manage the transitioning healthcare workforce on HWapps. Using HWapps has resulted in a reduction of duplication of work from the participating organizations and the ease of managing the large amount of data tracking involved with the DSRIP initiative.

CNYCC Reaches Out to Larger Health Workforce Community

The Central New York Care Collaborative (CNYCC) is the Performing Provider System (PPS) designated for Central New York under the Delivery System Reform Incentive Payment (DSRIP) program. Under DSRIP, over 200 healthcare partners across six counties will work together over the next five years to implement projects designed to reduce Emergency Department visits and unnecessary readmissions of the Medicaid population by 25 percent.  

CNYCC recognizes development of the workforce is an essential, cross-cutting element necessary to the successful transformation of the healthcare system. CNYCC has contracted with the Northern and Central Area Health Education Centers (AHECs) since the Fall of 2014.  The AHECs serve as the workforce vendor for CNYCC.  As such, they helped craft the workforce sections of the DSRIP application and implementation plan, and continue to assist with implementation of the workforce strategy.  The Workforce Workgroup of CNYCC has been meeting regularly since February of 2015 to provide feedback and insight into the Workforce Implementation Plan submitted to the New York State Department of Health June 1, 2015. With the five Workforce Milestones (see below) to be completed by December 31, 2015, we are now reaching out to the larger health workforce community for input and feedback with respect to workforce planning.
