During National Recovery Month, Comagine Health celebrates the progress and resilience of those in recovery. We also recognize that recovery from substance use is a challenging journey. Recovery capital is critical in helping people navigate that journey. In a new blog post, Vice President of Research and Evaluation Christi Hildebran digs into the details of recovery capital — what it is, how it works and why it’s important.

As Comagine Health wraps up the final weeks of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services QIN-QIO 12th Scope of Work, we are celebrating by sharing some of the program’s impact over the past five years. Our long-term and post-acute care (LTPAC) team worked with nearly 650 facilities across our six-state region of Idaho, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah and Washington. With hard work, determination and collaboration, we achieved some notable improvements for these facilities: • More nursing home residents are protected from pneumonia. Over the past three years, 464 more long-stay residents received the pneumonia vaccine in Idaho, improving the statewide rate by 5%. Meanwhile, 710 more long-stay residents received the pneumonia vaccine in Utah, improving the statewide rate by 7%. • Nursing home residents are less likely to be rehospitalized (return trips to the hospital within 30 days of hospitalization). Since October 2020, at least 247 fewer residents were rehospitalized while staying in Nevada nursing homes. • LTPAC facilities excelled in infection control and prevention. Comagine Health’s COVID Mitigation Medal recognized these efforts, based on resident and staff vaccination rates as well as other criteria. In less than two years, 29 New Mexico facilities earned the award. • Fewer patients were hospitalized because of infections typically acquired in health care settings. We eliminated hospitalizations due to Clostridioides difficile for long-stay residents in Oregon. For short-stay residents, we reduced the number of hospitalizations by 59% since September 2021. • About 4.5% fewer residents in Washington were prescribed opioids. Partly due to this effort, 91 fewer residents were hospitalized due to opioid-related adverse drug events — a 28.5% improvement since September 2020. We thank every one of our LTPAC facilities for their partnership and dedication to improving care for their residents!

Research shows that Black women are more likely to be tested for drugs during labor and delivery and that Black and Native American families are overrepresented in the child welfare system. Some states and hospitals are changing their policies on drug testing during pregnancy and for newborns to lessen room for bias, better support those being treated for substance use disorder and put healthy outcomes first. Explore the policy changes and the meaningful differences they can make at https://lnkd.in/gxY67GbM. #HealthEquity #MaternalHealth
