  1. Pathways and TEAMcare Studies Wayne Katon, MD1 Mike VonKorff, ScD2 Elizabeth Lin, MD, MPH2 Paul Ciechanowski, MD, MPH1 Evette Ludman, PhD2 Carolyn Rutter, PhD2 Bessie Young, MD, MPH1 Do Peterson, MS2 David McCulloch, MD2 1University of Washington School of Medicine 2Group Health Research Institute NIMH Grants MH 41739 and MH 01643 (Dr. Katon)

  2. Health Services Models • TEAMcare approaches have been shown to improve quality of care and outcomes of patients with depression, diabetes, asthma and CHF • The most complex and medical costly patients often have multiple comorbidities including at least one mental health diagnosis

  3. Medicare Patients • Depression, diabetes and heart disease are among the most common illnesses in aging populations but fewer than 4% of Medicare beneficiaries with any of these three illnesses have no other chronic medical conditions • 80% of those with CHF, 71% with depression and 56% with diabetes have 4 or more chronic conditions • Partnership for Solutions 2001

  4. 161,697 Patients with Diabetes were Examined to Estimate Rates and Reasons for Poor Disease Control (HbA1c, SBP, LDLs) • 20% to 23% poor adherence • Among those with adequate adherence, 30% to 47% had no evidence of treatment intensification • Poor adherence and lack of treatment intensification were found in 53% to 68% of patients with poor disease control Schmittdiel J, et al. 2008

  5. Challenge: Development of Health Services Models for “Natural” Clusters of Illness • Definition: Illnesses with high prevalence, high comorbidity and bidirectional adverse interactions • Examples: • Diabetes, CAD, depression • Depression, chronic pain, substance abuse

  6. New NIMH-Funded Study: TEAMcare Inclusion Criteria • Evidence via automated date (ICD-9) of having diabetes and/or coronary artery disease (CAD) • Evidence of poor disease control (HbA1c >8.5, blood pressure >140/90, LDL >130) • PHQ-9 >10

  7. Recruitment • 14 GH clinics (e.g. Olympia, Everett, Silverdale, and BVU) • 150 primary care physicians signed consent • 9,838 PHQ-2 screeners mailed • 214 Patients randomized • 106 Intervention (106) • 108 Control

  8. TEAMcare Intervention Goals • Improve depression care: behavioral activation and antidepressants • Improve medical disease control: HbA1c, HTN, LDL • Improve self-care (diet, exercise, cessation of smoking, glucose checks)

  9. Core Elements • Nurse Care Management • Identify Goals – specific, measurable (BP, HbA1c, PHQ-9, # steps) • Monitor Progress of Targets – systematic, pro-active • Treat-to-Target – relentless adjustment, INDIVIDUALIZED • Support Self-Care – adherence to medication adjustments • Regular Clinical Review – supervised case reviews, Tx recommendations

  10. TEAMcare Interventionists • 3 diabetes nurse educators • Caseload supervision • Depression: 2 psychiatrists • Diabetes and CAD: nephrologist, family doctor • E-Mail to diabetologist for complex cases

  11. Nurse Training • Motivational interviewing • Problem solving • Behavioral activation • Antidepressants • TREAT-to-TARGET: blood glucose, HTN, LDLS

  12. TEAMcare Summary Report

  13. Improving Adherence • Patient self-care materials: book and video on depression, patient manual (Tools for Managing Your Chronic Disease) • Nurse support/education/motivational interviewing • Medisets • Simplifying medication regimen • $4 generics to avoid $10 co-pays

  14. Self-Care Enhancements • Glucometers: Group Health provides • Home blood pressure monitors • Pedometers to increase exercise • Medisets to improve adherence

  15. Phases of Treatment • Intervene on depression initially • Behavioral activation • Antidepressant medication

  16. Medical Disease Control • Is patient adhering to medication regimen? • If adhering and in poor control, is patient on optimal dosage? • If maximum dosage has been reached should a new medication be tried instead or augmentation of initial medication? • Team recommendations of medication changes are reviewed with primary care physician for approval

  17. TREAT-to-TARGET Guidelines • Nurses ask for physician approval for gradually increasing insulin or blood pressure medications based on these guidelines

  18. Behavioral Goals • Behavioral activation/exercise • Dietary changes • Checking blood glucose/altering insulin • Cessation of smoking

  19. Mean of SCL Score

  20. Mean of HbA1c

  21. Mean of Systolic BP

  22. Mean of LDL

  23. Any Adjustment

  24. Satisfaction with Care of Depression p < .001 p < .001 months

  25. Satisfaction with Care of Diabetes and/or CHD p < .001 p < .001 months

  26. Conclusions • Economies of scale: New health services interventions are needed for patients with multiple comorbidities (one of which is a psychiatric disorder). • The TEAMcare model is a promising approach to improving depression and medical disease control.
