114.2 Scaling Early Psychosis Treatment in New York State: Challenges and Outcomes

Abstract

Background: OnTrackNY is a novel coordinated specialty care (CSC) program designed to treat individuals within 2 years of the onset of nonaffective psychosis in New York State. OnTrackNY is funded by New York’s mental health authority, the Office of Mental Health (OMH), which supports service delivery, training and evaluation. Starting with four CSC teams in 2013, OnTrackNY will have 21 teams scattered throughout the state in diverse care settings by 12/16. In order to create an adapting learning health-care system with dynamic real-time improvement cycles, person- and program-level data on care outcomes and processes are collected and reported to teams, while teams offer feedback on their experiences and challenges in program implementation in the context of training activities. This process creates an evolving program model that is anchored in evidence and experience. Little is known about outcomes of CSC programs in the United States. This study describes OnTrackNY program outcomes to 8/16.
