The Hope Health and Wellness Clinic: Outcomes of Individuals with Serious Mental Illness in a Bidirectional Integrated Care Clinic
Type: Journal Article
Year: 2020
Publication Place: United States
Abstract:
The integrated health home, the Hope Health and Wellness Clinic, provides comprehensive primary and behavioral health services to adult clients of a Community Mental Health Center in Aurora, Colorado. A program evaluation of the effectiveness of this clinic was conducted over a 4 year period. Physical health data (Body Mass Index BMI, HbA1c, cholesterol, blood pressure, and waist circumference measurements) and self-report data (social connectedness, everyday functioning, psychological distress, perceived health, satisfaction with services) were tracked across time. Individuals enrolled (N = 534) experienced significant improvements over time in LDL and total cholesterol, as well as self-reported social connectedness, everyday functioning, perceived health, and psychological distress. At risk individuals demonstrated significant improvements in HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, blood pressure, tobacco and alcohol use. Individuals with serious mental illness show improvements in physical health and self-reported health after being involved in bidirectional integrated care.

The impact of a complex care clinic in a children's hospital
Type: Journal Article
Year: 2010
Publication Place: England
Abstract: BACKGROUND: The number of medically complex and fragile children (MCFC) cared for in children's hospitals is growing, necessitating the need for optimal care co-ordination. The purpose of this study was to describe the impact of a nurse practitioner/paediatrician-run complex care clinic in a tertiary care hospital on healthcare utilization, parental and primary care provider (PCP) perceptions of care and parental quality of life. METHODS: MCFC and their parents were recruited for ambulatory follow-up by the hospital team to complement care provided by the PCP in this mixed methods single centre pre- or post-evaluative study. Parents participated in semi-structured interviews within 48 h of discharge; further data were collected at 6 and 12 months. Healthcare utilization was compared with equal time periods pre-enrolment. Parental health was assessed with the SF-36; parental perceptions of care were assessed using the Larsen's Client Satisfaction Questionnaire and the Measure of Processes of Care; PCPs completed a questionnaire at 12 months. Parental and PCP comments were elicited. Comparisons were made with baseline data. RESULTS: Twenty-six children and their parental caregivers attended the complex care clinic. The number of days that children were admitted to hospital decreased from a median of 43 to 15 days, and outpatient visits increased from 2 to 8. Mean standardized scores on the SF-36 increased (improved) for three domains related to mental health. A total of 24 PCPs responded to the questionnaire (92% response); most found the clinic helpful for MCFC and their families. Parents reported improvements in continuity of care, family-centredness of care, comprehensiveness and thoroughness of care, but still experienced frustrations with access to services and miscommunication with the team. CONCLUSION: A collaborative medical home focused on integrating community- and hospital-based services for MCFC is a promising service delivery model for future controlled evaluative studies.

The Impact of Alternative Payment in Chronically Ill and Older Patients in the Patient-centered Medical Home
Type: Journal Article
Year: 2017
Publication Place: United States
Abstract: BACKGROUND: Patient-centered medical home (PCMH) has gained prominence as a promising model to encourage improved primary care delivery. There is a paucity of studies that evaluate the impact of payment models in the PCMH. OBJECTIVES: We sought to examine whether coupling coordinated, team-based care transformation plan with a novel reimbursement model affects outcomes related to expenditures and utilization. RESEARCH DESIGN: Interrupted time-series model with a difference-in-differences approach to assess differences between intervention and control groups, across time periods attributable to PCMH transformation and/or payment change. RESULTS: Although results were modest and mixed overall, PCMH with payment reform is associated with a reduction of $1.04 (P=0.0347) per member per month (PMPM) in pharmacy expenditures. Patients with hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, and coronary atherosclerosis enrolled in PCMH without payment reform experienced reductions in emergency department visits of 2.16 (P<0.0001), 2.42 (P<0.0001), 3.98 (P<0.0001), and 3.61 (P<0.0001) per 1000 per month. Modest increases in inpatient admission were seen among these patients in PCMH either with or without payment reform. Patients 65 and older enrolled in PMCH without payment reform experienced reductions in pharmacy expenditures $2.35 (P=0.0077) PMPM with a parallel reduction in pharmacy standardized cost of $2.81 (P=0.0174) PMPM indicative of a reduction in the intensity of drug utilization. CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that PCMH implementation coupled with an innovative payment arrangement generated mixed results with modest improvements with respect to pharmacy expenditures, but no overall financial improvement. However, we did see improvement within specific groups, especially older patients and those with chronic conditions.

The medical home as a mediator of the relation between mental health symptoms and family burden among children with special health care needs
Type: Journal Article
Year: 2011
Publication Place: United States
Abstract: OBJECTIVE: This study explores the role of medical home as a mediator of the relationship between emotional and behavioral difficulties among CSHCN and financial- and employment-related burden experienced by their families. METHODS: Data were obtained from the 2005-2006 NS-CSHCN, a nationally representative cross-sectional survey of 40 465 CSHCN. Family burden was measured using parent-reported financial problems and changes in family member employment resulting from the child's needs. Emotional and behavioral symptoms were reported by parents using 3 binary items capturing difficulty with depression, anxiety, disordered eating, and emotional or behavior problems. Medical home was measured according to the framework of the American Academy of Pediatrics. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were used to explore the role of medical home in the relation between mental health symptoms and family burden. RESULTS: A smaller proportion of CSHCN with emotional or behavioral difficulties had a medical home or related components compared to CSHCN generally, and a greater proportion of their families experienced burdens. Multivariate analyses showed that the mediated effect of care coordination on the relation between emotional or behavioral symptoms and family burden explained 18% to 35% of the total effect of these symptoms on financial problems and employment changes. Overall medical home access explained 16% to 28% of the total effect of symptoms on burden. CONCLUSIONS: Medical home access, and care coordination in particular, may partially mediate the relation between emotional and behavioral symptoms and financial hardship. Future efforts to implement the medical home model may benefit from an increased focus on care coordination as a means of reducing these burdens.

The medical home functions of primary care practices that care for adults with psychological distress: a cross-sectional study
Type: Journal Article
Year: 2019
Publication Place: England
Abstract: BACKGROUND: Primary care practices are changing the way that they provide care by increasing their medical home functionality. Medical home functionality can improve access to care and increase patient-centeredness, which is essential for persons with mental health issues. This study aims to explore the degree to which medical home functions have been implemented by primary care practices that care for adults with psychological distress. METHODS: Analysis of the 2015 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey Household Component and Medical Organizations Survey. This unique data set links data from a nationally representative sample of US households to the practices in which they receive primary care. This study focused on adults aged 18 and above. RESULTS: As compared to adults without psychological distress, adults with psychological distress had significantly higher rates of chronic illness and poverty. Adults with psychological distress were more likely to receive care from practices that include advanced practitioners and are non-profit or hospital-based. Multivariate models that were adjusted for patient-level and practice-level characteristics indicated that adults with psychological distress are as likely to receive primary care from practices with medical home functionality, including case management, electronic health records, flexible scheduling, and PCMH certification, as adults without psychological distress. CONCLUSIONS: Practices that care for adults with mental health issues have not been left behind in the transition towards medical home models of primary care. Policy makers should continue to prioritize adults with mental health issues to receive primary care through this model of delivery due to this population's great potential to benefit from improved access and care coordination. TRIAL REGISTRATION: This study does not report the results of a health care intervention on human subject's participants.

The Medical Home Index: Development and validation of a new practice-level measure of implementation of the Medical Home model
Type: Journal Article
Year: 2003
Publication Place: United States
Abstract: OBJECTIVE: The Medical Home is a clinical practice concept that sets new standards for pediatric primary care. This study describes the development and validation of a tool to measure the Medical Home. METHODOLOGY: The Medical Home Index (MHI) consists of 25 themes arranged among 6 domains of primary care office activity. A national panel of experts on the Medical Home reviewed a prototype of the instrument. Pediatric primary care offices completed the MHI and participated in 90-minute on-site interviews with two of the authors (J.W.M., K.S.). The study examined interrater reliability between the 2 project staff and between the practices and project staff and the internal consistency of MHI domains and themes. RESULTS: On a 100-point scale, 43 practices demonstrated a range of MHI summary scores from 18.9 to 75.4, with a mean of 43.9. Kappa coefficients of interrater reliability between two Center for Medical Home Improvement project staff were above.50 for all 25 themes. Kappa scores comparing each staff member and the practice sites' self-assessment found 80% of the themes at.65 or better for one interviewer (J.W.M.) and 60% of the themes at.65 or better for the second interviewer (K.S.). Intraclass correlation coefficients between the summary scores of the interviewers were.98 and between the scores of the two interviewers and the scores of the practices was.97. The internal consistency reliability standardized alpha coefficients across the 6 domains of the MHI ranged from.81 to.91, and the overall standardized alpha coefficient was.96. CONCLUSIONS: In the sample of practices studied, the MHI was an internally consistent instrument with acceptable reliability and validity for pediatric primary care practices to assess their implementation of the Medical Home concept. Further work is needed to study its correlation with other process and outcome measures and its performance in a wider range of practices.

The medical home, preventive care screenings, and counseling for children: Evidence from the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey
Type: Journal Article
Year: 2010
Publication Place: United States
Abstract: OBJECTIVE: Little is known about the role of the medical home in promoting essential preventive health care services in the general pediatric population. This study examined associations between having a medical home and receipt of health screenings and anticipatory guidance. METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of the 2004-2006 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS). Our sample included 21 055 children aged 0 to 17 years who visited a health care provider in the year prior to the survey. A binary indicator of the medical home was developed from 22 questions in MEPS, reflecting 4 of the 7 American Academy of Pediatrics' recommended components of the medical home: accessible, family-centered, comprehensive, and compassionate care. Multivariable logistic regression was used to examine the association between the medical home and receipt of specific health screenings and anticipatory guidance, controlling for confounding variables. RESULTS: Approximately 49% of our study sample has a medical home. The medical home, defined when the usual source of care is a person or facility, is significantly associated with 3 health screenings (ie, weight, height, and blood pressure) and several anticipatory guidance topics (ie, advice about dental checkups, diet, exercise, car and bike safety), with odds ratios ranging from 1.26 to 1.54. CONCLUSIONS: The medical home is associated with increased odds of children receiving some health screenings and anticipatory guidance. The medical home may provide an opportunity to improve the delivery of these services for children.

The medical home: Growing evidence to support a new approach to primary care
Type: Journal Article
Year: 2008
Publication Place: United States
Abstract: INTRODUCTION: A medical home is a patient-centered, multifaceted source of personal primary health care. It is based on a relationship between the patient and physician, formed to improve the patient's health across a continuum of referrals and services. Primary care organizations, including the American Board of Family Medicine, have promoted the concept as an answer to government agencies seeking political solutions that make quality health care affordable and accessible to all Americans. METHODS: Standard literature databases, including PubMed, and Internet sites of numerous professional associations, government agencies, business groups, and private health organizations identified over 200 references, reports, and books evaluating the medical home and patient-centered primary care. FINDINGS: Evaluations of several patient-centered medical home models corroborate earlier findings of improved outcomes and satisfaction. The peer-reviewed literature documents improved quality, reduced errors, and increased satisfaction when patients identify with a primary care medical home. Patient autonomy and choice also contributes to satisfaction. Although industry has funded case management models demonstrating value superior to traditional fee-for-service reimbursement adoption of the medical home as a basis for medical care in the United States, delivery will require effort on the part of providers and incentives to support activities outside of the traditional face-to-face office visit. CONCLUSIONS: Evidence from multiple settings and several countries supports the ability of medical homes to advance societal health. A combination of fee-for-service, case management fees, and quality outcome incentives effectively drive higher standards in patient experience and outcomes. Community/provider boards may be required to safeguard the public interest.

The medical home: Health care access and impact for children and youth in the United States
Type: Journal Article
Year: 2011
Publication Place: United States
Abstract: OBJECTIVE: The medical home concept encompasses the elements of pediatric care considered essential for all children. We describe here the characteristics of children with medical homes and the relationship between presence of a medical home and selected health care outcomes by using new data from the 2007 National Survey of Children's Health (NSCH). METHODS: We used a medical home measure comprising 5 components: having a usual source of care; having a personal physician or nurse; receiving all needed referrals for specialty care; receiving help as needed in coordinating health and health-related care; and receiving family-centered care. A total of 83 448 children aged 1 to 17 years had valid data for all applicable medical home components. The NSCH is a random-digit-dial population-based telephone survey. RESULTS: In 2007, 56.9% of US children aged 1 to 17 years received care in medical homes. Younger children were more likely to have a medical home than their older counterparts. Substantial racial/ethnic, socioeconomic, and health-related disparities were present. Children who received care in medical homes were less likely to have unmet medical and dental needs and were more likely to have annual preventive medical visits. CONCLUSIONS: Approximately half of the children in the United States have access to all components of a pediatric medical home. Because the medical home is increasingly promoted as the standard for provision of high-quality comprehensive health care, these findings reinforce the need to continue and expand federal, state, and community efforts to ensure that all children have access to this model of care.

The medical home: Locus of physician formation
Type: Journal Article
Year: 2008
Publication Place: United States
Abstract: Family medicine is currently undergoing a transformation and, amid such change, the medical home has emerged as the new polestar. This article examines the medical home through the lens of philosopher Alasdair MacIntyre and offers a perspective, informed by Hubert Dreyfus and Peter Senge, about medical homes as practical sites of formation for family physicians. The intellectual past of family medicine points to contextually sensitive patient care as a practice that is particular to the discipline, with the virtue of "placing patients within contexts over time" as a commonly held virtue. Dreyfus provides a model of knowledge and skill acquisition that is relevant to the training of family physicians in practical wisdom. In this model, there is a continuum from novice to more advanced stages of professional formation that is aided by rules that not only must be learned, but must be applied in greater contextually informed situations. Senge's emphasis on learning organizations-organizations where people are continually learning how to learn together-presents a framework for evaluating the extent to which future medical homes facilitate or retard the formation of family physicians.
