  • ASH Brain Health System Redesign Communications Strategy Plan
    10/22/18 ASH Brain Health System Redesign Communications Strategy Plan, version 4.0 1 10/22/18 Executive Summary The Design Institute for Health, in collaboration with the Communications Subcommittee, has prepared a Communications Strategy Plan for the preplannning and planning phases of the ASH Brain Health System Redesign. The plan identifies seven communications objectives and two core audience segments: internal and external. The internal audience focuses on project leadership and their networks. The external audience segment prioritizes five groups for these early phases: public officials, law enforcement, professional organizations and associations, mental health justice system, and media. Three core communications strategies are idenitifed to reach the audiences and meet the objectives using modern methodologies. A digital toolbox will serve to align the internal audience. For the external audience, a set of outreach opportunities coupled with an online final report are designed to inform the five key audiences across the large service area. Next steps are to build and launch the components in November and December 2018. The plan includes the current version (4.0) of approved initial messages and FAQ’s which will continue to be updated. 2 10/22/18 Introduction One in five Texans – more than five million people – experience a mental health condition each year, requiring increasing investment by Texas to help to address these conditions and improve the lives of its citizens. As part of that response, the Texas Legislature invested $300 million during the last legislative session for improvements to the state’s psychiatric hospitals. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) contracted with Dell Medical School at the University of Texas at Austin (Dell Med) to lead a collaborative, $15.5 million preplanning and planning phases of redesigning the Austin State Hospital (ASH) that serves 38 counties for adults, 57 counties for adolescents, and 75 counties for children.

  • The University of Texas at Austin Response to House Higher Education Committee Formal Request for Information COVID-19 Interim Charge
    The University of Texas at Austin Response to House Higher Education Committee Formal Request for Information COVID-19 Interim Charge 1. Are institutions of higher education ensuring the health and safety of students, faculty, and staff during the 2020 Fall Semester? When applicable, please speak directly to classroom and lab setting, dormitories, and dining halls. The health of our students, faculty, staff, and visitors remains at the forefront of all planning for the fall semester. In April, UT Austin established six workgroups to provide plans for a phased re- opening of the campus, covering Academics, Health and Wellness, Student Life, Operations, Research, and Athletics. The result of those extensive planning sessions, released in June, is the Protect Texas Together plan. While online learning will be critical to the continuity of education, the on-campus experience plays a central role in the university’s mission – even with the restrictions that the pandemic will place on campus life. As such, highlights of the plan include extensive online or hybrid online/in-person class offerings, wearing face coverings when inside buildings (except in a private office or personal dorm room, or while eating), strong hygiene practices, frequent building inspection and cleaning protocols, a request for students to self-quarantine for 14 days prior to arrival, and suggested daily symptom screenings through the Protect Texas Together smartphone app. Approximately 77% of classroom seats will be online this semester, and for those classes or labs with an in-person component, classrooms will be limited to 40% capacity and seating will be spread out according to social distancing guidelines.
