NorthSTAR IMPLEMENTATION PLANNING TEAM 12-13-2002
PLANNING MEETING GOALS • Define specific goals for successful implementation • Define activities to achieve goals • Troubleshoot barriers to carrying out activities • Assign activities to achieve goals to team members • Identify timeline for completing activities
CONSULTANTS TO PROCESS • Dr. Steve Shon, TDMHMR Medical Director • Dr. Ken Altshuler, TDMHMR Board of Directors & UTSMC Professor • Carole Matyas, ValueOptions V-P • Dr. Lynelle Yingling, DANSA Board Chair
Review of Basics Dr. Shon
Algorithm “A step by step procedure for solving a problem or accomplishing some end.” Webster’s Dictionary
GOALS OF MEDICATION GUIDELINES/ALGORITHMS • Systematic Approach to Medication Management • Quantifiable and Reliable Outcome Measures • Documentation of Medications and Outcomes • Enhance Medication Adherence by Patients
Clinical Reasons for Algorithms • Facilitate clinical decision-making • Improve quality of care • Make treatment plans consistent across sites and physicians • Tailor treatment to individuals • Provide adequate clinical documentation • Define where new medications fit for optimal outcomes
Administrative Reasonsfor Algorithms • Accountability for scarce resources • Uniform expectations for providers • Improve cost efficiency • Predictable costs • Define where new medications are cost- effective • Define costs related to specific treatments or outcomes
Medication Algorithms • Three disorder groups • Major depressive disorders • Schizophrenia • Bipolar disorders • Strategies (identifying the what) • Tactics (identifying the how) • Specific guidelines • Planned revisions
Educational Materials • Patient objectives • Teaching patients disease management • Involving patients in treatment choices • Optimizing treatment benefits • Provider objectives • Optimizing treatment benefits • Teaching optimal medication use • Clarifying and documenting clinicaldecision-making

Goals for NS TMAP Implementation • Develop a clear implementation plan • Begin changes with incorporating medical records used with TMAP by summer • Begin with computerized version
Activities to Achieve Goals • Initial workgroup [VO, Dr. Shon, Dr. Altshuler, DANSA ED + PAC] review TDMHMR implementation guides for appropriateness/adaptation • VO meet with Dr. Altshuler to plan electronic requirements • VO pilot with 1 or 2 providers to refine the process before full implementation
Startup cost Ongoing cost of meds Mental mindset Training large number of private providers [1 day of training initially] Develop a uniform plan with a large number of providers Possible software grant Long-term reduced meds Careful planning Possibly minimize time required by using teleconferencing Pilot first & streamline Barriers & How To Overcome
Share implementation guides with initial workgroup for review & possible modification Meet to plan electronic requirements David [to Carole, DANSA PAC, Dr. Altshuler] David, Carol, Dr. Altshuler Assignment of Specific Tasks
Spring 2003 Summer2003 Fall 2003 Plan for implementation defined Pilot project fully implemented and evaluated Plan for complete NS implementation defined Timeline
