…and How YOU Can Benefit

Understanding Integrated Care Options…


3

“Every patient, every person, must have a comprehensive personal care plan, that addresses the whole person. That includes all of their problems and concerns and resources and fears and experiences, and essentially, incorporates into that those factors such that you've got a coherent plan for health…that makes use of all of that. So that if there are mental diagnoses, if there are chronic diseases, if there are acute problems, prevention needs, all of those are understood in the context of each other; a whole person plan of care.”

These remarks by Frank DeGruy, MD, NIAC Chair, were part of the Mental Health Forum and Town Hall Meeting at the AHRQ 2011 Annual Conference. This Forum featured national experts on integrated healthcare, including several members of the National Integration Academy Council (NIAC) who discussed policy, research, and the state of the field related to integrating behavioral health and primary care.

Integrated Care• Integrated care model

Treating medical/physical and behavioral (mental health/substance use) conditions in an integrated, coordinated fashion in primary care, with the PCP coordinator of the care team

• Collaborative Care An integrated approach to health care delivery in primary care, medical and behavioral health providers work together to address the patients medical and behavioral health needs.


Care is…IntegratedTeam-based

Behavioral health care - mental health - substance abuse

Primary care - Prevention - Acute Care - Chronic Care

Specialist care

TODAY’S CAREIntegrated Primary Care

My main problem for the day is what determines my care; BH problems may or may not be discussed

All of my health needs are covered, including BH, stress, housing, job… factors necessary to plan care

Care is determined by today’s problem and time available today

Care is guided by patients goals

Care varies by scheduled time and memory or skill of the doctor

Care is standardized according to evidence-based guidelines

I am responsible for coordinating my own care

Along with a team of professionals, I help coordinate my care

I assume I’m getting quality care because my doc is well-trained

Quality of my care is measured, and continuously improved

I have to tell the doc what happened to me

The doc knows all about my other medical visits/tests/prescriptions

I have to go to another provider for BH issues in another clinic

A team works with me, at the top of their licenses to serve patients

I always have to make an appointment or wait as walk-in; ED

If I need care today, I can walk-in or get help without traveling to the clinic

Six Reasons You Want Behavioral Health in Primary Care

Reason 1: We all go to Primary Care (or we should), including those with BH needs

Reason 2: Many people don’t get BH needs metReason 3: High Cost of Unmet Behavioral Health NeedsReason 4: Better Health OutcomesReason 5: Improved Satisfaction

Primary Care Behavioral Health-Improves Access-Reduces Costs-Improves Patient -Leads to Better Health


1010

• 84% of the time, the 14 most common physical complaints have no identifiable cause1

• 80% with a behavioral health disorder will visit primary care at least 1 time in a year2

• HALF of all behavioral health disorders are treated in primary care3

• Almost half of the appointments for all psychiatric medications are with a non-psychiatric primary care provider4

Patient-Centered Medical Home Reason One: Most of Us Get Primary Care

11

Patient-Centered Medical Home Reason Two: Unmet Behavioral Health Needs

• More than half of people with a behavioral health disorder do not get behavioral health treatment1

• 30-50% of referrals from primary care to an outpatient behavioral health clinic don’t make first appt2,3

• Two-thirds of primary care physicians reported not being able to access outpatient behavioral health for their patients…due to shortages of mental health care providers, health plan barriers, and lack of coverage or inadequate coverage

Cost of Unmet Needs Continued

• Healthcare use/costs twice as high in diabetes and heart disease patients with depression1

1. Original source data is the U.S. Dept of HHS the 2002 and 2003 MEPS. AHRQ as cited in Petterson et al. “Why there must be room for mental health in the medical home (Graham Center One-Pager)

• Approximately 217 million days of work are lost annually to related mental illness and substance use disorders (costing employers $17 billion/year)2

Annual Cost – those without MH condition

Annual Cost – those with MH condition

Heart Condition $4,697 $6,919

High Blood Pressure $3,481 $5,492

Asthma $2,908 $4,028

Diabetes $4,172 $5,559

Sounds GREAT…How do I get it?

NOT Paid for in current fee for service system

Some FQHCs and a few primary care practices funded by grants

Some BH agencies offer primary care in their agencies as well


THE ANSWER: Medicaid Reform

Accountable Care Organizations are integrated groups of health care providers who: • Deliver coordinated care across

health care settings • Agree to be held accountable for

achieving:– measured quality improvements

and – reductions in the rate of

spending growth.• Keep and Improve the LME-

MCO System

Sounds GREAT…How do I get it?

Talk to your general assembly members about what YOU want, because where the state system goes, others usually follow!
