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.

State Adoption of Incentives to Promote Evidence-Based Practices in Behavioral Health Systems
Type: Journal Article
Year: 2018
Abstract: OBJECTIVE: Despite the critical role behavioral health care payers can play in creating an incentive to use evidence-based practices (EBPs), little research has examined which incentives are used in public mental health systems, the largest providers of mental health care in the United States. METHODS: The authors surveyed state mental health directors from 44 states about whether they used any of seven strategies to increase the use of EBPs. Participants also ranked attributes of each incentive on the basis of key characteristics of diffusion of innovation theory (perceived advantage, simplicity, compatibility, observability, and gradually implementable) and perceived effectiveness. RESULTS: Almost three-quarters of state directors endorsed using at least one financial incentive; most paid for training and technical assistance. Few used other incentives. Strategies perceived as simple and compatible were more readily adopted. Enhanced rates and paying for better outcomes were perceived as the most effective but were the least deployed, suggesting that simplicity and organizational compatibility may be the most decisive factors when choosing incentives. CONCLUSIONS: Payers are not using the incentives they perceive as most effective, and they are mostly using only one strategy for reasons of simplicity and compatibility. Future work should focus on barriers to measurement that likely hinder the adoption and implementation of paying for better outcomes and enhanced reimbursement rates, with the ultimate goal of measuring the effectiveness of incentives on EBP implementation efforts.

State mental health policy: mending Missouri's safety net: transforming systems of care by integrating primary and behavioral health care
Type: Journal Article
Year: 2009
Publication Place: United States
Abstract: Missouri has begun a three-year pilot program across the state to integrate the primary care services provided by federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) and the behavioral health services provided by community mental health centers (CMHCs). This column describes the integration initiative, in which start-up funds were provided in 2008 to seven FQHC-CMHC partnerships (a total of $700,000 to each pair over 3.5 years). It reviews lessons learned during the first year of the project in bringing these two very different public systems of care together to mend the public health safety net.
