  1. Critical Time Intervention as a Means of Exposing Community-Based Organizations to Value-Based Payment Arrangements April 28th 2017

  2. Bronx Partners for Healthy Communities • Our largest 7 primary care partners • Our DSRIP Goals: • Achieve the Triple Aim: Better Health, Better Patient Experience, Lower Cost • Reduce avoidable ED visits and hospital admissions by 25% by 2020 357,424 total attributed patients

  3. SMI, Homelessness & Hospitalization • Homelessness among people with Serious Mental Illness (SMI) is an important and unaddressed issue – contributes to avoidable hospitalization* • Traditional telephonic care-transitions programs rarely work for the precariously-housed with SMI • Recent data* has shown: • Psychiatric hospitalizations among these adults accounted for 26% of all psychiatric hospitalizations in NYC • ~33% of US homeless population includes individuals with SMI *Treatment Advocacy Center and National Coalition on the Homeless

  4. Critical Time Intervention (CTI) Model • Cost-effective, evidence-based practice proven to reduce recurrent homelessness • Developed in early 1980s in NYC, due to rise in homelessness among people with SMI • Supports clients in building community ties and ensuring continuity of care • Time-limited: 9 months, 3 phases • Phase 1: Transition • Phase 2: Try-Out • Phase 3: Transfer of Care

  5. BPHC’s Rationale For Selecting CTI • Bronx Community Needs Assessment, conducted in the DSRIP context, showed homeless New Yorkers tend to be: • Under utilizers of primary care and Health Homes • Frequent users of Emergency Departments • More pronounced amongst the SMI population.* • BPHC estimated ~400 patients with probable homelessness and 4+ visits to ED and/or inpatient setting (10/2013 – 10/2014). • SMI population requires community support to bridge the transition from facility to community and to ensure enduring linkages. • CTI bridges the gap by addressing transitional needs while the patient is still in the hospital, extending the reach of licensed community mental health providers. *National Coalition on the Homeless and NYCDOHMH data

  6. BPHC CTI Program Model • Eligibility Criteria • Diagnosis of a SMI • Hospital stay or ED visit in past 6 months • Eligible for Health Home (HH) • Precariously Housed • Locations of Client Identification • Psychiatric inpatient units • Medical inpatient units • Other programs (HHs, shelters, detox, etc.)

  7. BPHC CTI RFP and Provider Selection • RFP issued to network behavioral health providers • Incorporated value-based arrangement – downside risk tied to failure to achieve reduction in hospital use. • Four organizations selected to each enroll ~ 80 individuals in CTI program: • Coordinated Behavioral Care IPA (CBC) • Visiting Nurse Service of New York (VNSNY) • Riverdale Mental Health Association (RMHA) • SCO Family of Services (SCO) • Organizations hired caseworkers to perform the intervention – providing new job opportunities in the Bronx • Began enrolling patients in January 2017, will continue through end of the year.

  8. CTI and Health Home Collaboration • CTI extends intensive, high-touch care coordination into the community • Promotes successful transition • Complements the HH model during a critical period • Case workers are non-clinical coordinators supervised by a licensed professional • HH care coordinator is encouraged to collaborate with the CTI worker from the beginning. Interactions and billing for HH remains unchanged
