IBH Pilot Lessons Learned Year 1Care Transformation Collaborative of R.I. Date: March 10, 2017 Nelly burdette, psyD IBH Practice facilitator
Overview • IBH in Primary Care Overview • PDSA: High ED Utilizers with Behavioral Health • Challenges • Lessons Learned
IBH in Primary Care Overview • 12 PCMHs to implement depression, anxiety and substance use screening for all patients over the age of eighteen in primary care across 2 years • Rescreened within 6 months if positive screening • Onsite IBH providers offer evidence-based treatment • Three PDSAs • Increase screening/rescreening rate • High ED utilization with behavioral health • Population health focus within behavioral health
12 Practicing Sites Cohort 1 (blue) February 2016 Cohort 2 (yellow)November 2016
Practice Facilitation Deliverables • Monthly one hour practice facilitation meetings with each practice implementation team and Dr. Burdette • Deliverables: • Hire and train Licensed IBH Provider (0.5-1.0 FTE) to bill for and/or provide sustainable IBH services • Compact with Community Mental Health Center • Baseline assessment of IBH at beginning and end of pilot • Quarterly reporting of universal screening targets and patient-specific data, warm hand-offs, referrals to community partners • 3 PDSAs cycles
Why focus on high ED utilizers with behavioral health overlap? • Treating people with multiple conditions can cost as much as 7 times more than treating those with only one illness 1 • 15% of total health care spending for people diagnosed with a behavioral disorder was attributable to behavioral health-specific care 1 • 85% of spending represents costs related to medical care for physical comorbidities 1 • BOTTOM LINE: Depression + up to 4 chronic conditions, more = 82.4% of all costs 1
CASE STUDY: PDSA (Plan) Tri-Town Community Action
Tri-Town Community Action PDSA: DO
Challenges • Financial and Billing • Data and Reporting • IBH Provider Culture and Training • Community BH Referrals
Lessons Learned • Difficult to impact high ED utilizers with BH • Timing • 6 months to get all systems in place to begin • Add another 6 months to begin to see 50% of sites accomplishing year 1 thresholds • Sustainability • Huddles/Interdisciplinary Care Conferences • Productivity = encompassing Primary Care pace
