Building the Behaviorally Enhanced PCMH: The Development and Implementation of an EHR-Based System for the Screening and Management of Depression in Primary Care Zephon Lister, PhD, LMFT William Sieber, PhD Rusty Kallenberg, MD Kurt Lindeman, PhD
Learning Objectives At the conclusion of this presentation participant will be able to: • Describe the process and conceptual underpinnings of developing an EHR-based office visit screening system • Identify and list the implementation steps and components of an EHR-based office visit screening system • Discuss a more generalized template for implementation of this process in a range of primary care environments • Describe the challenges and clinical pearls identified through the development and implementation of a universal screening process.
UCSD Primary Care • Providers • 40+ Physicians • 1 Psychiatrist • 2 Licensed Mental Health Providers and 12 Mental health providers in training • Services 35,000+ patients • Each clinic experiences 120-160 daily patient encounters • Population: • Payors from low SES and Medi-Cal to PPO
Literature: Universal Depression Screening in Primary Care • Roughly one third to one half of non-elderly adults and almost two thirds of older adults who are treated for depression are treated in primary care1-3. • Recent research estimates that mental health screening rates may be as high as 74 percent in primary care4, and once a primary care provider has identified a patient as depressed, almost 90 percent patient receive some level of provider intervention5,6. • One study found that 30 to 40 percent of cases of depression may be missed PCP’s who rely solely on provider recognition7. • The USPSTF conclude that mass screening in primary care may help clinicians identify missed depression cases and initiate appropriate treatment. Screening may help clinicians identify patients earlier in their course of depression8.
Background • UCSD Family Medicine building toward PCMH since 2004 • 2011 NCQA PCMH standards • PCMH 3: Plan and Manage Care- One of three clinically important conditions identified by the practice must be a condition related to unhealthy behaviors (e.g., obesity) or a mental health or substance abuse condition. • U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) • screening adults for depression when staff-assisted depression care supports are in place to assure accurate diagnosis, effective treatment, and follow-up. • against routinely screening adults for depression when staff-assisted depression care supports are not in place.
Background cont. UCSD Electronic Health Record EHR • EPIC Systems electronic medical record (EHR), now used throughout the UCSD Healthcare System. EPIC provides a complete view of all visits — from ER to primary care to specialty to inpatient — and all laboratory, radiology, and special testing results. • EHR allows providers to develop patient registries for special groups of patients with particular diseases (e.g. depression) or particular needs (e.g. care management) so that we can more easily follow up on those who are not doing as well as they could.
Depression Screening Clinical Protocol PHQ-Score 2 or more PHQ-9 (#9 positive endorsement) Provide patient standard PCP interpersonal support and education 1.Provide Patient Information Sheet on Stress Management Groups and Collaborative Care 2.Assess for T-Care referral/follow-up 3.Assess for Collaborative Care referral 4.Assess benefit of meds and other PCP intervention 1.On-site T-Care trainee or intern assesses pt. to inform PCP intervention plan 2. Patient referral to Collaborative Care 3.Assess benefit of meds and other PCP intervention 1.(a) Immediate on-site assessment and intervention by T-Care trainee or intern to inform PCP intervention plan, (b) access any CC staff in clinic to assess patient at earliest opportunity (c) if no CC staff is available send stat EPIC message to Lead Therapist or Supervisor or page for immediate support 2.See PHQ-9 >20 protocol
Descriptive and Prevalence Data • Initial estimates are that 26% of patients with anxiety or depression are being referred to CC • Patients abusing substances are less often referred to CC program • Well over 1 of every 3 patients referred to CC are seen by a therapist • Patients with cardiovascular, metabolic, or musculoskeletal pain are referred only 4.3 %, 4.0%, and 7.4% of the time, respectively
