  1. Health Disparities Webinar 2/28/2013 Michael L. Dennis, Chestnut Health Systems. Normal, IL Available from www.gaincc.org/presentations Created for: Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s (SAMHSA) Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT) under contract number 270-2012-0001 / Project no. 270-12-0397.

  2. Goals for the Presentation • Summarize the quality chasm in behavioral health and how it relates to health disparities • Provide data from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) on the rates of health disparities in the community • Provide data from Treatment Episode Data Set – Discharge (TEDS-D) on health disparities in the rate of treatment completion and retention • Provide data from the Global Appraisal of Individual Needs (GAIN) on health disparities in rate of co-occurring problems and services targeted at them • Review strategies for reducing health disparities

  3. IOM’s Crossing the Quality Chasm Series • The most relevant and recent of attempts to summarize an emerging consensus of research, practice, and policy makers of the state of the practice in our field • It also includes detailed recommendations for how to address these problems and health care reform Free from http://www.iom.edu/Reports/2005/Improving-the-Quality-of-Health-Care-for-Mental-and-Substance-Use-Conditions-Quality-Chasm-Series.aspx

  4. Regardless of Diagnosis or Where Patients Enter, High Quality Care Should be: 4 • Safe – do no harm • Effective – based on scientific knowledge and average practice (based on actual data) • Patient-centered – respectful and responsible to individual preferences, needs, values and participation in clinical decision making (vs. staff centered) • Timely - reducing waits and delays; when care is most effective • Efficient -avoiding waste of time, energy and money • Equitable – providing effective care based on clinical criteria that does not vary by gender, race, age, geography or social economic status

  5. The Quality Chasm in Behavioral Health >>Low Treatment Penetration >>Low Treatment Compliance >>Low Identification of Co-Occ. * Percent of those with disorder ** Based on formal screening and assessment ** * Based on staff rating/ treatment records

  6. Thus Health Disparities have to examine differences by subgroup in the rates of • Having problems • Accessing treatment for those in need • Getting those who start treatment to engage in adequate dosages of treatment • Getting those with co-occurring problems the services targeted at those needs

  7. Subgroups might include things like • Race/Ethnicity, Age, Gender, Sexual Orientation • Poverty, Justice Involvement, Insurance Coverage, Geography, Provider • Or some combination of the above

  8. General Approach to Evaluating Health Disparities • Have a reliable and valid measure defining a clinical problem • Identify a class or specific service associated with better outcomes for people with that clinical problem • Examine differences by subgroup in the rate of problem and failure to access or engage in effective service (unmet need)

  30. Any Substance Use Disorder at Intake vs. Any SUD Treatment by 3 Months Services for drug use are well targeted with those in need receiving services and services not being spread to those without need *Any past year AOD problems, use, abuse, or dependence ** ‘Services’ is self-report of any days of SA treatment at 3 months SAMHSA 2011 GAIN SA Data Set subset to has 3m Follow up (n=18,899)

  40. Unmet Need for Any Self-Help at 3 Months Age* Higher adolescents and young adults * p<.05 SAMHSA 2011 GAIN SA Data Set subset to has 3m Follow up (n=21,228)

  41. Reducing Health Disparities • Standardized screening and assessment to identify need • Clinical decision support systems to recommend targeted services • Data-based performance monitoring overall and by subgroups/problems for which there are health disparities • Increase patient centeredness of care • Use of motivational interviewing and problem solving • Taking services to the person

  42. Some Lessons From IOM • Health disparities may involve differences in need requiring the targeting of a subgroup • They may also involve the lack of efficacious services among the subset in need • Health disparities are often difficult to see and may vary from what people expect • Health disparities can be reduced and eliminated • Matching patient and providers gender, race, etc. does not necessarily eliminate health disparities
