Met with site 8/12. FY20 subs are doing well, the NCE was just approved so they will be moving forward with a media campaign to support their referral program through the University of MS Medical Center. The state ME new CMS is up and running. They went from 22% of cases acceptable for upload to the CDC dashboard to now 98%! Working on closing that gap. FY22 subgrantee MS Bureau of Narcotics is still having staffing/support issues. TTA coach offered to connect site with Drug Checking for the People which works with community-based programs for drug testing. MS is open to state/county OR community-based programs to identify a partner for this grant. We did briefly discuss sustainability for the FY20 grant and the POC mentioned most efforts will likely be state funded, but they are taking advantage of the extra time the NCE allows to identify other funding sources.
Site will also be implementing deflection programming and they are working with state stakeholders to identify needs. RTI offered materials to share with larger group if needed. POC to follow up mid-September.
