  14. Siloed Funding

  15. Main Players: Behind the Scenes Florida Health- Tallahassee and Miami Dade (DOH) • Required grantee due to HIV impact • Coordinated with ECHPP South Florida Behavioral Health Network (SFBHN) • Managing entity for behavioral health dollars via Department of Children and Families Behavioral Science Research Institute (BSRI) • Evaluation team • Crossover with Ryan White Program

  16. Main Players: The Providers Citrus Health • 5 medical clinics and 24 schools • Hialeah area • 55% female • >80% Hispanic/ Latino • 52% best served in another language • 28% uninsured Jessie Trice (JTCHC) • 9 medical clinics and 23 schools • Liberty City area • 63% female • 67% Black/African-American • 13% best served in another language • 60% uninsured

  17. MAI-TCE Miami took on three distinct phases MAI-TCE Project Phases

  18. Phase One:Gearing up for Integration • Start Date • February 2012 • Logistics • Funding • Staffing • Implementation • Buy-in • Organizational level • Between partners

  19. Challenges Successes • Fiscal tracking • Data burden • Training/EBI’s • Staffing • Collaboration/Team building • SFBHN/organizational level • Data sharing with Evaluation • Provider MAI-TCE teams • Capacity Building Logistics

  20. Challenges Successes • Cultural differences • Medical vs Behavioral health • HIV and Ryan White services • Billing for services • The need is recognized and departments find relief • Integration is accepted at top-down level in theory • SFBHN assists with billing and loosening staffing regulations Buy-in

  21. Lessons Learned • Make preparations • Present changes to other departments ahead of time • Collaboration is critical • Need a team of support • Planning and persistence • This takes time

  22. Phase Two:Customizable Integration • Start Date • June 2012-May 2014 • Planned changes • Mandated by funders (TRAC vs. GAIN) • Necessary to meet EBI requirements • Unplanned changes • HIV testing • Staff turnover

  23. Challenges Successes • EBPs/DEBIs changed • Client needs and outdated practices • Training overload • Staff turnover • Systems-level funding and documentation • Flexibility in training and EBI implementation • Peers implementing • Translation of tools as needed • Data and service documentation • Removal of GAIN-I • SFBHN consistent updates (delete orphans, etc) • Data became useful internally Planned Changes

  24. Challenges Successes • 80% follow up rate goal • Does not fit BH clients • Reassessment and DC lists become unmanageable • Rapid Testing HIV mandate • New testing site IDs • Training • Duplicative data • Testing numbers cannot be shared • Advanced integration model for service delivery • Advocating at all levels • A true team approach • DOH was instrumental • Capacity building • Filling a huge need (especially at Citrus) Unplanned Changes

  25. Lessons Learned • The need to truly customize cannot be understated • Peers are critical to successful models for client satisfaction • Integration is working • More clients are getting the services they need and large FQHCs have fewer silos internally

  26. Phase 3:Wrap-up and Sustainability • Start Date • June 2014 to present • A focus on Medicaid billing and staff coverage • Focus on implementing EHR systems that are effective • Concentration on seeking out additional funding through grants/foundations

  27. Challenges Successes • Non-Medicaid expansion • EMRs lack sophisticated technology and are expensive • SAMHSA and other billing systems are not set up for co-occurring clients • Grant funding is competitive • SFBHN advocacy for EMRs and data systems changes • EMRs responding • Funders are responding • Miami secured grant monies Funding

  28. Challenges Successes • Staffing • Certifications for peers, behavioral health techs, non-client specific coordinators • Organizational structure • What has really changed? • Medical and behavioral are still separate, but… • Staffing has changed organizational practice • Use of peers, recognition for coordination across sites • Other departments believe in the value of behavioral health • Healthcare culture is changing Organizational Integration Culture

  29. Lessons Learned • Change happens with persistence • Generating buy-in at the organizational level can speed things up • Collaboration is key to successful integration and sustained funding

  30. If you don’t remember anything else… Remember this Take away points

  31. Behavioral Health Primary Care Network Committee (BHPCNC) • A committee for health integration • Guided by principles: • Inclusion, Collaboration, CQI, Resource savings, Community-based, Resilience and Recovery • Vision/Mission • Oversee the expansion of culturally competent and effective behavioral health services • To monitor and enhance the linkages between and integration of behavioral health services in primary care • Less formal • A focus on training and capacity building across the systems of care

  32. The Miami Model • Screening (SBIRT) • Use of peers • HIV testing • EBIs • Data driven • Co-location has been extremely helpful with piloting/forming the model

  33. Project Outcomes • Reduction in days spent: • Homeless • Hospital MH unit, detox, jail, emergency room • Reduction in unprotected sex • Increase in risk perceptions • Decrease in mental health symptoms and social support • Increase in access to comprehensive health services • Decrease in substance use • But not in tobacco use

  34. System-wide Implications • Expansion of integration to chronic disease management and other aspects of health • Providers are held to higher standards of care and care coordination • Focus on prevention and wellness

  35. Go Forth and Integrate Questions/Comments David Freedman – Project Director dfreedman@sfbhn.org (305) 860-8235
