Suicide Prevention Speaker: DorjeJennette, PsyD, CAPS Clinical Director, UC Santa Cruz Student Health • Nationally, professional health care is underutilized among those who are at risk of completing suicide (e.g., Luoma, Martin, and Pearson, 2002) • Integration has the potential to unlock synergies that help students access and adhere to the care they need • Risk screening and safety planning—casting a wider net
Suicide Prevention Speaker: DorjeJennette, PsyD, CAPS Clinical Director, UC Santa Cruz Student Health • Students with gender identity stressors associated with elevated suicide risk and low health services engagement • Bringing engagement to vulnerable populations: Community Advising Network • Psychotherapists embedded in partner units such as the LGBTQIAQ center • Establishing trust and bridging to medical services

Triage system Urgent Care (Shared Medical/CAPS) Resource Coordination Medical Officer of the Day (MOD) – Experienced physician is available by pager for second opinion and to assist Urgent Care as a resource for psychologists and PC Providers Psychologist of the Day (POD) – Experienced psychologist who is available by pager to assist PCP and UC Triage Nurses in risk assessment and crisis response. ‘Warm Handoffs’ – POD can meet and greet patient in UC or PC clinics to introduce and arrange appointment later in day or week (or can assess urgently). Integrated Urgent Care Speaker: Tom Ferguson, MD, PhD, Medical Director, UC Davis SHCS
CASE: UC patient assessed by RN for feeling anxious. Has hypertension 148/110 and HR 90 with past medical history of bipolar disorder and recently poor sleep. Past medical history of psychosis and hospitalizations for bipolar disease. Triage RN identified acute medical and psychological assessment needs MOD requested POD to assess for patient safety concerns likely exacerbation bipolar disorder and previous hospitalizations Psychologist assessed and diagnosed bipolar disorder needing higher level of care. Patient agreed to voluntary psychiatric hospitalization for acute care. Was normotensive at discharge from inpatient treatment without any antihypertensive treatment but was taking medications for bipolar treatment. Integrated Urgent Care: Case Study Speaker: Tom Ferguson, MD, PhD, Medical Director, UC Davis SHCS
CASE: 23 yo male seen by PCP for ankle injury and as part of that visit is screened for depression with PHQ 9. Score elevated at 21 with question 9 indicating daily thoughts of self harm. PCP does screening for suicide (ACP P4 screener) which scores low for immediate risk and reviews concern with POD. POD facilitates assessment using warm handoff technique and initiates therapy with messaging to PCP. Coordination of care and warm handoff improves likelihood of formal psychological assessment and engagement in care. Collaborative approach in making treatment decisions (don’t all need medications but do all need monitoring !). Another Case Study Speaker: Tom Ferguson, MD, PhD, Medical Director, UC Davis SHCS
CASE: 19 yo female international student assessed by CAPS psychologist and determined to have recurrence of severe depression. Had stopped fluoxetine when came to USA 6 months ago. Not suicidal but difficulty getting out of bed and academic problems. Next initial psychiatry appointment in 4 wks. Psychologist pages MOD for consultation. MOD discusses case with the psychologist regarding best care for patient. PCP appt 24 hours is decided – PCP copied on notes from MOD and psychologist so is expecting the patient in clinic. Coordination cuts through ‘red tape’ and ‘bottlenecks’ Does require PCP willingness to initiate and monitor therapy for depression. PCP collaborate with psychiatrists via secure messaging for support. Warm Handoffs Work Both Ways ! Speaker: Tom Ferguson, MD, PhD, Medical Director, UC Davis SHCS
Communication Speaker: Tom Ferguson, MD, PhD, Medical Director, UC Davis SHCS
Importance of change management/rolling with resistance: communication/processing/discussion Strategic planning is critical to put leaders on the same page Participating in CSI/workgroups/team meetings helps sharing, communication, and understanding across disciplines Keep student-centered perspectives in mind (e.g., complex/high-risk students might be best served at times by a one-stop integrated urgent care service) Lessons Learned Speaker: Michelle Famula, M.D., Executive Director, UC Davis Health & Wellness
Open Access scheduling for psychological services Alcohol screening/CCAPS tracking ATOD team development; smoking cessation integration More systematic referrals of patients from psychiatry to PCP for stabilized med management (with consultation available), conserving limited psychiatry resources.
