  11. 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

  12. 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

  13. 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

  14. Roles and Responsibilities

  15. Implementation Challenges

  16. 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

  17. 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

  18. 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

  19. 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

  20. 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

  21. 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

  22. Screening Program Initiation to June 15, 2015

  23. Severity of Depressive Symptoms

  24. 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.

  25. Member Prior Diagnosis and Treatment of Depression

  26. Depression and SUD

  27. Clinical OutcomesChanges in PHQ-9 ScoresIndex Visit to most recent

  28. Sample Response Curve PC-INSITE

  29. Sample Response Curve PC-INSITE

  30. 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

  31. 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

  32. 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
