What is the MFP Program and what does it do? The MFP program helps a person with the funding and organization of moving out of a medical facility. It helps with setting up housing, necessities, medical equipment and temporary in home caregivers. MFP is a federal demonstration grant, received by the CT Department of Social Services from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. It was awarded to help rebalance the long-term care system so that individuals have the maximum independence and freedom of choice regarding where they live and receive care and services. The program builds on current programs by offering enhanced community services and support to those who have resided in nursing facilities for at least three months. Under MFP, CT will receive, for those transitioning back to the community, an enhanced Medicaid match of nine million dollars over five years, being reimbursed for 75 percent of costs for the first year back in the community instead of the customary 50 percent. This federal support is a financial incentive for Conn. to reduce the use of more expensive institutional care for Medicaid recipients. The approach is more cost-effective for taxpayers and is expected to lead to improved quality of life for older adults and people with physical and developmental disabilities and mental illness. People transitioning back into the community have the choice of where they want to live, whether it’s the person’s own home, a family member’s home, an apartment or congregate living. Goals of the MFP Increase dollars spent on home and community based services. Increase the percent of people receiving their long-term services in the community relative to those in institutions. Decrease the number of hospital discharges to nursing facilities for those requiring care after discharge. Increase the probability of people returning to the community within the first three months of admission to an institution Transition individuals out of institutions and back into the community Individualized care plans are created based on need. CCCI transition coordinators will provide one-to-one assistance with community supports, system navigation, accessing resources and living arrangements.

Je, Nifanye Nini Ikiwa Mshtuko Unatokea? . Watu walio na mtikiso wa ubongo wanahitaji kuonekana na mtaalamu wa afya. Ikiwa unafikiri wewe au mtu unayemjua ana mtikiso, wasiliana na mtaalamu wako wa afya. Mtaalamu wako wa afya anaweza kutathmini mtikiso wako na kuamua kama unahitaji kutumwa kwa daktari wa neva, mwanasaikolojia, daktari wa upasuaji wa neva, au mtaalamu wa urekebishaji (kama vile mtaalamu wa magonjwa ya hotuba) kwa uangalizi maalum. Kupata usaidizi punde tu baada ya jeraha kutoka kwa wataalamu waliofunzwa kunaweza kuboresha ahueni. Tazama Ishara na Dalili , ili kujifunza kuhusu ishara na dalili za kawaida ambazo unaweza kupata, na kujifunza kuhusu dalili za hatari na wakati wa kutafuta matibabu ya haraka. Nini cha Kutarajia Unapomwona Mtaalamu wa Huduma ya Afya . Ingawa watu wengi wanaonekana katika idara ya dharura au ofisi ya matibabu, baadhi ya watu lazima wakae hospitalini mara moja. Mtaalamu wako wa afya anaweza kufanya uchunguzi wa ubongo wako (kama vile CT scan) au vipimo vingine. Majaribio ya ziada yanaweza kuhitajika, kama vile majaribio ya ujifunzaji wako, umakinifu wa kumbukumbu, na utatuzi wa matatizo. Vipimo hivi huitwa vipimo vya "neurosaikolojia" au "neurocognitive" na vinaweza kusaidia mtaalamu wako wa afya kutambua madhara ya mtikiso. Hata kama mtikiso hauonekani kwenye majaribio haya, bado unaweza kuwa na mtikiso. . Mtaalamu wako wa afya atakutuma nyumbani na maagizo muhimu ya kufuata. Hakikisha unafuata maagizo yote ya mtaalamu wako wa afya kwa uangalifu. . Ikiwa unatumia dawa—maagizo ya daktari, dawa za dukani, au “matibabu asilia”—au ikiwa unakunywa pombe au kutumia dawa zisizo halali, mwambie mtaalamu wako wa afya. Pia, mwambie mtaalamu wako wa afya ikiwa unatumia dawa za kupunguza damu (anticoagulant), kama vile Coumadin na aspirini kwa sababu zinaweza kuongeza uwezekano wa matatizo. Tazama Kupata Bora , kwa vidokezo vya kukusaidia kupona baada ya mtikiso. . .
