Muscogee (Creek) Nation Pediatrics Clinics
By assessing the service data, the clinics gained a clearer understanding of patient needs.
They found that of the two clinics, the clinic that offered more brief treatments (16- to 32-minute sessions) had better appointment attendance the other clinic, which offered more brief interventions (5- to 15-minute sessions). Based on this data, the program will use the brief treatment model moving forward. This activity is also billable, while brief interventions are not.

Choctaw Health and Mental Partnership (CHAMP)
When the BH2I project announcement became available the Health and Social Services Departments reached out to a Licensed Professional Counselor, who had previously worked with JBCI, to help write the grant application. Prior to being awarded the grant, we worked as a team to establish goals which would facilitate our ability to provide behavioral health services within our Health Clinic and improve integration, access, acceptance, and availability for tribal members and their families. For the first year, we set a total of 14 goals in the areas of behavioral health, medical services, collaboration, events, and billing. As of the conclusion of the first quarter, we have made significant strides in reaching 10 of those goals.
