  5. What Is a “Health Home?” A health home is a team-based health care delivery model that provides • comprehensive, • continuous care to people with the goal of obtaining • maximized health outcomes Patient-centered medical homes (PCMH) have been developing in primary care world for decades

  6. WHAT is an Integrated Health Home (IHH), Then? The term Integrated Health Home is the name given for the health home program that is specifically designed for people with serious mental illnesses (SMI) and children/youth with serious emotional disturbances (SED)

  7. Say It Again? Very simply stated, the integrated health home is a TEAM OF PEOPLE with unique skills, such as nurses, social workers and peer/family support specialists, solely positioned to provide much needed • care coordination • education • direction for people with mental health challenges and their families The goal is BETTER HEALTH

  8. IHH TEAM FOCUS This team’s entire focus is to help people connect with information, services and other resources with the goal of improving all realms of one’s health – mental, physical, social…. WHO CAN ARGUE WITH THAT?

  9. WHAT an integrated health home is NOT An integrated health home is NOT… • a house • a residential setting • a PMIC • a group care placement • a hospital • a building • A nursing home NO, NO, NO, NO!!! Not even close….

  10. Why call it HOME? • The health home/medical home term has been around a long time • The Affordable Care Act refers to health homes • The term HOME is generally intended to have a positive connotation of somewhere where people know you, care for you, have your best interest in mind…You know the phrase…HOME SWEET HOME

  11. Why develop integrated health homes? People with chronic mental illness die 25 to 30 years earlier than their peers who do not have a mental health condition, often due to unaddressed physical conditions. Much of this is preventable. 2006. National Association of State Mental Health Program Directors. “Morbidity and Mortality in People with Serious Mental Illness.” Alexandria, VA. http://www.nasmhpd.org/general_files/publications/med_directors_pubs/Technical%20Report%20on%20Morbidity%20and%20Mortaility%20-%20Final%2011-06.pdf.

  12. The drastically reduced lifespan for people withSMI and SMI/SUD is comparable with Sub-Saharan Africa

  13. BUT WE ALREADY HAVE SERVICES, CASE MANGEMENT ETC… PEOPLE ARE DYING. WE NEED TO DO MORE. WE CAN DO MORE.

  14. WHO is the Integrated Health Home Designed For? Iowa Plan* members (Medicaid) who have a • Adults with serious and persistent mental illness (SPMI) • Children/youth with serious emotional disturbances (SED) * Includes approximately 411,000 members; most all Medicaid members are eligible for the Iowa Plan

  15. Diagnostic Criteria for IHH Membership The SMI diagnosis is defined by the following diagnosis categories: • Psychotic disorders • Schizophrenia • Schizoaffective disorder • Major depression • Bipolar disorder • Delusional disorder • Obsessive-compulsive disorder • Other MH diagnosis with significant functional impairment Serious emotional disturbance  (SED) means: • A diagnosable mental, behavioral or emotional disorder of sufficient duration to meet DSM diagnostic criteria   • Results in functional impairment

  16. Attributed Medicaid Member Population • Identified through Magellan claims information • 30,000 SPMI adults statewide • 16,000 SED children and youth statewide

  17. Can people on waivers be in IHH? YES – Children on CMH waiver are included YES - Children and adults receiving Habilitation Services ___________________________________________________________ NO – ID waiver, PD waiver, HD waiver, BI waiver, Elderly waiver, HIV waiver

  18. Is IHH Membership Optional? YES, this is an optional program. Members have choice and can always exercise the choice to • opt in, • opt out, • move to different IHH provider in community Because it is available to offer additional help with care coordination, resources, education about health and wellness, peer support etc, the hope is that members do not opt out But the choice is always with the member’s!

  19. Do I have to change doctors, therapists etc? NO!!! • Being assigned to IHH gives you an additional service of having access to the Care Coordination teams • You can keep seeing your providers • Primary care • Psychiatrist • Therapist • BHIS • Habilitation provider • Etc NONE OF YOUR PROVIDERS WILL CHANGE BECAUSE OF IHH UNLESS YOU WISH FOR A CHANGE

  20. What You Need to Know About Opting Out of IHH CMH waiver – Currently requires case management as part of CMH waiver. The IHH will be provider for the case management service portion of the CMH waiver so if child is opted out of IHH, there is no case management service available and therefore the waiver services will be unable to be accessed.* Habilitation Services – Currently requires case management as part of Habilitation Services. The IHH will be provider for the case management service portion of Hab so if child/adult is opted out of IHH, there is no case management service available and therefore the waiver services will be unable to be accessed.* *Targeted Case Management will not be an available option for people who meet IHH criteria. The State has determined that IHH will provide the case management for those with SMI/SED.

  21. WHO are the IHH providers? • Behavioral health providers that are the community experts for serving people with mental health needs • Have willingness and support to think differently in terms of serving health care • Meet standards outlined • Not all willing and able will be IHH

  24. IHH Is a Team Approach Magellan • Selects IHH providers • Provides care management support through • Claims-based reporting to identify gaps in care • Risk analysis • Development of online tools to support daily service delivery and population management needs Community IHH Provider • Develops care teams to work with members • Uses data and technology to oversee and intervene in the total care of the member • Works with community services and supports to address member/family needs • Develops whole-health approaches for care

  28. Using Data to Manage Member Population • A move from thinking of health care as a series of isolated, reactive, crisis-type encounters, to a big-picture approach that anticipates needs and improves outcomes • A process of scanning large groups of patients and asking, “What are the pressing health needs of this population, and how can we best satisfy or even pre-empt those?” • A “population” is a group of people with a shared condition, such as diabetes, schizophrenia or asthma • Use data, such as claims or encounters, to inform areas of intervention needed to improve or maintain health status • Example: Diabetic patients may need annual eye exam, foot exam, HbA1c testing, medication management, etc.

  29. Using Information Technology • Allows for immediate health information access • Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) • Allow for improved internal information-sharing • Allow critical patient medical information to move to outside providers quickly • Continuity of Care Document (CCD) - electronic document exchange standard for sharing patient summary information • Create tools to inform next steps within practice: • Look across practice patient population • Sort and group patients by common traits • Make informed choices about where dollars and energy are best spent • Measure progress in real time

IHH Sites: Flexible Payment Methodology • Health homes services paid on a per member per month (PMPM) basis • Blended rate of high-need to low-need member costs of care • Allows for flexibility in delivery of care • Concentration of efforts can be given where needed with less cost concern • Fee-for-service remains in place for traditional services available (e.g., therapies, medication management, BHIS, etc.) • Large primary care sites will be paid lower PMPM to participate in care coordination, communication for common members

  34. IHH Sites: Systems of Care Approach for Child IHH Child sites will function using Systems of Care model • Child- and family-centered • Strengths-based approach • Family team meetings • Wraparound process • Community engagement • Use of natural supports
