Regional Adoption of Primary Care-Mental Health Integration in Veterans Health Administration Patient-Centered Medical Homes
Type: Journal Article
Year: 2019
Publication Place: United States
Abstract: INTRODUCTION: Behavioral health integration is important, yet difficult to implement, in patient-centered medical homes. The Veterans Health Administration (VA) mandated evidence-based collaborative care models through Primary Care-Mental Health Integration (PC-MHI) in large PC clinics. This study characterized PC-MHI programs among all PC clinics, including small sites exempt from program implementation, in one VA region. METHODS: Researchers administered a cross-sectional key informant organizational survey on PC-MHI among VA PC clinics in Southern California, Arizona, and New Mexico (n = 69 distinct sites) from February to May 2018. Researchers analyzed PC clinic leaders' responses to five items about organizational structure and practice management. RESULTS: Researchers received surveys from 65 clinics (94% response rate). Although only 38% were required to implement on-site PC-MHI programs, 95% of participating clinics reported providing access to such services. The majority reported having integrated, colocated, or tele-MH providers (94%) and care management (77%). Most stated same-day services (59%) and "warm" handoffs (56%) were always available, the former varying significantly based on clinic size and distance from affiliated VA hospitals. CONCLUSIONS: Regional adoption of PC-MHI was high, including telemedicine, among VA patient-centered medical homes, regardless of whether implementation was required. Small, remote PC clinics that voluntarily provide PC-MHI services may need more support.

Secure, obligated and coordinated collaboration in health care for the patient-centered medical home
Type: Journal Article
Year: 2010
Publication Place: United States
Abstract: In the patient-centered medical home, PCMH, patient care is overseen by a primary care physician leading a team of health care providers, who collaborate to optimize treatment. To facilitate interactions in PCMH, secure collaboration will be needed to: control access to information; dictate who can do what when; and promote sharing and concurrent access. This contrasts approaches such as the National Institute of Standard and Technology (NIST) role-based access control (RBAC), where the emphasis is on controlling access and separating responsibilities. This paper investigates secure collaboration within an application such as PCMH, through: a futuristic scenario for patient care; proposed collaboration extensions to the NIST RBAC standard with a fine-grained obligated mechanism and workflow; and a prototype of PCMH via the Google Wave real-time collaboration platform.

Serving Persons With Severe Mental Illness in Primary Care-Based Medical Homes
Type: Journal Article
Year: 2015
Abstract: Objective: Primary care-based medical homes are rapidly disseminating through populations with chronic illnesses. Little is known about how these models affect the patterns of care for persons with severe mental illness who typically receive much of their care from mental health specialists. This study examined whether enrollment in a primary care medical home alters the patterns of care for Medicaid enrollees with severe mental illness. Methods: The authors conducted a retrospective secondary data analysis of medication adherence, outpatient and emergency department visits, and screening services used by adult Medicaid enrollees with diagnoses of schizophrenia (N=7,228), bipolar disorder (N=13,406), or major depression (N=45,000) as recorded in North Carolina Medicaid claims from 2004-2007. Participants not enrolled in a medical home (control group) were matched by propensity score to medical home participants on the basis of demographic characteristics and comorbidities. Those dually enrolled in Medicare were excluded. Results: Results indicate that medical home enrollees had greater use of both primary and specialty mental health care, better medication adherence, and reduced use of the emergency department. Better rates of preventive lipid and cancer screening were found only for persons with major depression. Conclusions: Enrollment in a medical home was associated with substantial changes in patterns of care among persons with severe mental illness. These changes were associated with only a modest set of incentives, suggesting that medical homes can have large multiplier effects in primary care of persons with severe mental illness.

Setting the stage for success: Implementation of developmental and behavioral screening and surveillance in primary care practice -- the North Carolina Assuring Better Child Health and Development (ABCD) Project
Type: Journal Article
Year: 2006
Abstract: Early identification of children with developmental and behavioral delays is important in primary care practice, and well-child visits provide an ideal opportunity to engage parents and perform periodic screening. Integration of this activity into office process and flow is necessary for making screening a routine and consistent part of primary care practice. In the North Carolina Assuring Better Child Health and Development Project, careful attention to and training for office process has resulted in a significant increase in screening rates to >70% of the designated well-child visits. The data from the project prompted a change in Medicaid policy, and screening is now statewide in primary practices that perform Early Periodic Screening, Diagnosis, and Treatment examinations. Although there are features of the project that are unique to North Carolina, there are also elements that are transferable to any practice or state interested in integrating child development services into the medical home. Included here are lessons learned and a listing of practical tools for implementation.

Sexuality of children and adolescents with developmental disabilities
Type: Journal Article
Year: 2006
Publication Place: United States
Abstract: Children and adolescents with developmental disabilities, like all children, are sexual persons. However, attention to their complex medical and functional issues often consumes time that might otherwise be invested in addressing the anatomic, physiologic, emotional, and social aspects of their developing sexuality. This report discusses issues of puberty, contraception, psychosexual development, sexual abuse, and sexuality education specific to children and adolescents with disabilities and their families. Pediatricians, in the context of the medical home, are encouraged to discuss issues of sexuality on a regular basis, ensure the privacy of each child and adolescent, promote self-care and social independence among persons with disabilities, advocate for appropriate sexuality education, and provide ongoing education for children and adolescents with developmental disabilities and their families.

Shared decision making among parents of children with mental health conditions compared to children with chronic physical conditions
Type: Journal Article
Year: 2015
Publication Place: United States
Abstract: High quality care in pediatrics involves shared decision making (SDM) between families and providers. The extent to which children with common mental health disorders experience SDM is not well known. The objectives of this study were to examine how parent-reported SDM varies by child health (physical illness, mental health condition, and comorbid mental and physical conditions) and to examine whether medical home care attenuates any differences. We analyzed data on children (2-17 years) collected through the 2009/2010 National Survey of Children with Special Health Care Needs. The sample consisted of parents of children in one of three child health categories: (1) children with a chronic physical illness but no mental health condition; (2) children with a common mental health condition but no chronic physical condition; and (3) children with comorbid mental and chronic physical conditions. The primary dependent variable was parent-report of provider SDM. The primary independent variable was health condition category. Multivariate linear regression analyses were conducted. Multivariate analyses controlling for sociodemographic variables and parent-reported health condition impact indicated lower SDM among children with a common mental health condition-only (B = -0.40; p < 0.01) and children with comorbid conditions (B = -0.67; p < 0.01) compared to children with a physical condition-only. Differences in SDM for children with a common mental health condition-only were no longer significant in the model adjusting for medical home care. However, differences in SDM for children with comorbid conditions persisted after adjusting for medical home care. Increasing medical home care may help mitigate differences in SDM for children with mental health conditions-only. Other interventions may be needed to improve SDM among children with comorbid mental and physical conditions.

Small and medium-size physician practices use few patient-centered medical home processes
Type: Journal Article
Year: 2011
Publication Place: United States
Abstract: The patient-centered medical home has become a prominent model for reforming the way health care is delivered to patients. The model offers a robust system of primary care combined with practice innovations and new payment methods. But scant information exists about the extent to which typical US physician practices have implemented this model and its processes of care, or about the factors associated with implementation. In this article we provide the first national data on the use of medical home processes such as chronic disease registries, nurse care managers, and systems to incorporate patient feedback, among 1,344 small and medium-size physician practices. We found that on average, practices used just one-fifth of the patient-centered medical home processes measured as part of this study. We also identify internal capabilities and external incentives associated with the greater use of medical home processes.

Specialists/subspecialists and the patient-centered medical home
Type: Journal Article
Year: 2010
Publication Place: United States
Abstract: This article provides an overview of the Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) care model. It provides a history and definition of the concept, a discussion of its growing acceptance by the health-care community, and a review of current public and public-private demonstration projects testing the concept. The role of specialty/subspecialty practices within the PCMH model is described, with a focus on the potential for these practices to serve as a PCMH for a subgroup of patients or, alternatively, as a PCMH "neighbor" that interfaces effectively with PCMH practices. The authors conclude that the model for effective connections between the PCMH and specialty/subspecialty practices requires further development, including the cross-specialty establishment of guidelines and processes regarding referrals, information flow, transitions in care, and accountability. The efforts of the American College of Physicians' Council of Subspecialty Societies PCMH Workgroup to further develop this model are described. The authors encourage involvement from all interested stakeholders to ensure that the issues and challenges identified are addressed through collaboration and consensus based on available evidence.

Specialty care and the patient-centered medical home
Type: Journal Article
Year: 2011
Publication Place: United States
Abstract: BACKGROUND: The medical home's success depends, in part, on the degree to which primary care physicians (PCPs) and specialists collaborate to create "medical neighborhoods" based on collective accountability. Such collaboration may require a new equilibrium in chronic disease care, with some of the routine follow-up currently provided by specialists reallocated to PCPs and their medical home teams. OBJECTIVES: To measure the care delivered by specialists for 7 chronic conditions, and to estimate the implications associated with reallocating half among the PCP workforce. RESEARCH DESIGN: Cross-sectional. SUBJECTS: Physicians from the 2007 National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey. MEASURES: We identified adult ambulatory visits for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease/asthma, low back pain, diabetes mellitus, coronary artery disease/congestive heart failure, chronic kidney disease, and depression. We calculated the time spent by specialists in direct and indirect care for established patients with these conditions. We summed individual physician estimates across specialists and converted the total into annual work weeks. After reducing this figure by half, we divided by the number of active PCPs. RESULTS: Most specialty visits (76.8%; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 73.6%-79.7%) were made by established patients. Specialists spent 552,844 (95% CI: 454,660-651,029) and 108,113 (95% CI: 86,103-130,122) cumulative work weeks providing direct and indirect follow-up care, respectively. Reallocating half of this care would generate 3.2 (95% CI: 2.6-3.8) additional work weeks for each PCP. CONCLUSIONS: The cumulative time spent by specialists in routine chronic disease follow-up is nontrivial. Reallocation of this care to PCP-directed medical homes may require multidimensional efforts to expand the primary care workforce.

Specialty care medical homes for people with severe, persistent mental disorders
Type: Journal Article
Year: 2010
Publication Place: United States
Abstract: The patient-centered medical home concept is central to discussions about the reform of the health care delivery system. Most descriptions of the concept assume that a primary care practice would serve as the hub of the medical home. However, for people with severe and persistent mental disorders, specialty health care settings serve as the principal point of contact with the health care system. For them, a patient-centered medical home in a specialty setting would be the most expedient way to address their urgent health care needs. Among other issues, implementing this idea would mean reimbursement strategies to support the integration and coordination of primary care in specialty settings.
