7. Health Care Quality and Access
Access*
Provider Access:
• 5,200 primary care providers.
• 21,700 specialists.
• 1,900 behavioral health and substance abuse
providers.
Facilities Access:
• 150 hospitals
• 26 community mental health centers
• 160 federally qualified health centers
• 115 CORE providers
• 68 Intensive Family Intervention providers
Geographic Access:
• One primary care provider within 30 minutes for
urban counties and 45 minutes for rural counties.
• One hospital within 30 minutes for urban counties
and 45 minutes for rural counties.
School Based/Telemedicine
• School Based Health Center Partners: Emory University,
Clayton County Public Schools and Family Health Centers of
Georgia
• The school based health center is located at North
Clayton High School. The clinic provides on-site BH
support groups and individual counseling. The goal is to
evaluate 9th graders over the next four years as they
matriculate through high school (academics, social needs,
class behaviors). In addition, there is a student committee
that works closely with the SHBC team.
• Telemedicine : Crisp County and Appling County (school
based)
• Currently, there is limited to no access to therapist
and/or psychiatrist in the community. The setup for the
telemedicine would be in a convenient location to the
school as well as in an area that adults and/or seniors
could access it as well.
• CORE and CSB
• Tanner Medical Center partnership with Haralson
County School Systems
• APEX Project – school-based counseling by CSB’s
WellCare is committed to continually improving the quality of care and service that we
provide to our members.
