Why Establish Integrated Behavioral Health? • “No health without mental health” • Quality of life • Morbidity • Impact on prognosis of other medical conditions (Prevalence 2 to 3 times higher for individuals with chronic pain, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and other chronic health conditions) • Prevalent • Up to 26% of the US population suffers from a behavioral health disorder annually • The prevalence for any mood disorder is 9.5% • 6.7% Major Depressive Disorder; 1.5% Dysthymia; 2.6% Bipolar I and II • Demands on physician time
Core Program Components • Universal Screening or targeted screening • Identification/assessment of persons screening in clinical range • Interventions—collaboration between BHC and PCP • Health Coaching • Short-term, solution focused counseling • Medication • Referral to specialty MH • Consistent measurement and monitoring (registry) • Psychiatric Consultation
Getting Started • Health Plan • Collaboration • How many members by Provider • Staffing—”who owns the staff” • Training • Agreement—Contract, MOU • Finance Issues • Documentation and expected outcomes • Health Center • Administrative Support • Introduce program concept to staff • Review agreement • Physician champion • Logistics—space, phones, EHR forms • Hiring process
Program Launch The path to implementation is not likely to be straight All staff awareness Process in place for screening—if paper and pencil forms printed, know who will administer and what to do when patient scores in clinical range Ability to track agreed upon process and outcome measure
Implementation Challenges Health Center Health Plan Who supports implementation Moving beyond “cost offset” Role of Health Plan case managers Billing issues Training and orientation for health plan clinical services and provider relations If single payer, resolve that program will flow over to other payer’s members • Trust • More work for everyone • EMR/EHR modifications • Not the way we practice • Patient flow and process • Location of BHC • If single payer initiative how does program impact flows with other patients • Lack of staff experience
Addressing Challenges • Training—the model is an Evidence Based Treatment physicians can grasp • Meet • Frequent meetings early on • Reduce to monthly meetings to review program operations and data • Maintain flexibility and adaptability to reflect the health center culture
Member/Patient Engagement • Response to screening • Engaging members when in the clinical range • Diamond project noted an engagement rate of 15%. Whitebird, et al 2014 • Respect project reported 68.5% engagement Waxmonsky, et al 2013 • Organizational support (screener: “do you want to speak to BHC?”) • Physician support • Strong BHC
Moving from Co-location to Integration Health Center Health Plan Philosophy, a provider collaborative approach Financial model—value-based purchasing Consultation—technical and clinical expertise Data sharing & care coordination Quality management and outcomes • Philosophy, a team approach • Parsimony—screening and assessment • Evidence-based • Staffing • Team huddles • Documentation, EHR • Flexibility and adaptability • Outcomes and benefits
Outcomes • Improved detection and identification of depression • Improved health services—reduced wait time for specialty MH services • Decreased patient severity of depressive symptoms • Improved care coordination
Severity by Program Site Overall, a total of 1,260 members (30%) met our criteria for scoring in the clinical range with depressive symptoms. A multi-site program serving Medicaid members in Colorado screened 1,758 individuals, 36.9% scored a 10 or higher.
Clinical OutcomesChanges in PHQ-9 ScoresIndex Visit to most recent
Non-Response or Treatment Resistant Depression • What about members who get significantly worse? • WellSpace review of 26 members in which symptom severity increased by 5 points or more • 17 Females; 9 males • Two-thirds did not engage, but continued to return for medical reasons • 22 of 26 meet criteria for SMI • 5 chronic pain; 2 presenting for controlled substances only • 3 of the 26 have reflected some improvement since these data were reported
Sustainability • Value-base as best practice • Improves the person’s experience as an active participant in addressing health issues • Clinical outcomes—improvement in health and well-being • Financial outcomes—physicians in clinic greater efficiencies; service utilization of emergency department and inpatient admissions decrease
Summary • Depression and SUD are significant factors impacting a person’s health and their health services utilization • PC-INSITE provides services in primary care settings to specifically address these conditions • Over 4,215 members have been screened since the launch of PC-INSITE in four states • 30% screened positive for depression • 9% screened positive for SUD • 60% of those members in the clinical range have had at least one follow-up contact and completed a second PHQ-9 • 59% Experienced at least some reduction in symptom severity at follow-up
