Defining Peer Roles and Status Among Community Health Workers and Peer Support Specialists in Integrated Systems of Care
Type: Journal Article
Year: 2017
Publication Place: United States
Abstract: Current strategies for integrating general medical and behavioral health services focus primarily on improving the coordination of care and expanding team-based services. Absent from most discussion has been a focus on the workforces that provide the bulk of community-based outreach, engagement, activation, motivational support, and self-management: community health workers (CHWs) and peer support specialists (PSSs). CHWs have primarily been deployed in general medical care and PSSs in behavioral health care. Understanding the unique contributions that CHWs and PSS provide for health promotion and wellness and improved population health outcomes is an important challenge. This Open Forum reviews the key elements of peer status as a way to help illustrate the differences between these workforces and the best deployment strategies for each workforce. A framework is proposed that outlines key support roles provided by the CHW and PSS workforces.

Definitive urine drug testing in office-based opioid treatment: a literature review
Type: Journal Article
Year: 2018
Publication Place: England
Abstract: Individuals who receive buprenorphine treatment for opioid use disorder in office-based settings may be at risk for, or have a history of, polysubstance use. Urine drug testing is an important clinical tool for monitoring medication adherence and patient stability; and screening for illicit drug use and dangerous drug-drug interactions. This article is intended to educate practitioners in office-based opioid treatment settings on selecting appropriate substances for a definitive drug testing panel that are known to be used concurrently, sequentially, or in combination with buprenorphine for opioid use disorder. It is also intended to educate such practitioners on selecting appropriate testing technology to reduce risks to the health and safety of patients prescribed buprenorphine for opioid use disorder. In developing this article, the author conducted a search from May 2018 through December 2017 of peer-reviewed and government-supported articles in electronic databases. The literature showed that several common substances are often abused in conjunction with certain other substances, increasing the risk of serious adverse events, including death. Whether used on their own, concurrently, sequentially, or in combination, substances of abuse carry significant health risks. Definitive urine drug testing, given its high specificity and sensitivity, can accurately identify the use of specific prescription medications and illicit substances that, especially when taken with buprenorphine or other substances, may cause harm to a patient. When testing for buprenorphine and other opioids; sedatives, hypnotics, and anxiolytics; cocaine; amphetamines; and PCP and other club drugs, providers in office-based opioid treatment settings are strongly advised to use definitive urine drug tests as the primary testing methodology. In addition, practitioners must be able to identify all other substances that a patient may be consuming, taking into consideration the patient's historical and current drugs of choice, given that concurrent use with buprenorphine or other substances may cause serious adverse events. This article highlights the pressing market demand for comprehensive, definitive urine drug testing at a more reasonable cost.

Delivering On Accountable Care: Lessons From A Behavioral Health Program To Improve Access And Outcomes
Type: Journal Article
Year: 2016
Publication Place: United States
Abstract: Patients with behavioral health disorders often have worse health outcomes and have higher health care utilization than patients with medical diseases alone. As such, people with behavioral health conditions are important populations for accountable care organizations (ACOs) seeking to improve the efficiency of their delivery systems. However, ACOs have historically faced numerous barriers in implementing behavioral health population-based programs, including acquiring reimbursement, recruiting providers, and integrating new services. We developed an evidence-based, all-payer collaborative care program called Behavioral Health Associates (BHA), operated as part of UCLA Health, an integrated academic medical center. Building BHA required several innovations, which included using our enterprise electronic medical record for behavioral health referrals and documentation; registering BHA providers with insurance plans' mental health carve-out products; and embedding BHA providers in primary care practices throughout the UCLA Health system. Since 2012 BHA has more than tripled the number of patients receiving behavioral health services through UCLA Health. After receiving BHA treatment, patients had a 13 percent reduction in emergency department use. Our efforts can serve as a model for other ACOs seeking to integrate behavioral health care into routine practice.

Delivering perinatal depression care in a rural obstetric setting: a mixed methods study of feasibility, acceptability and effectiveness
Type: Journal Article
Year: 2018
Publication Place: England
Abstract:
OBJECTIVES: Universal screening for depression during pregnancy and postpartum is recommended, yet mental health treatment and follow-up rates among screen-positive women in rural settings are low. We studied the feasibility, acceptability and effectiveness of perinatal depression treatment integrated into a rural obstetric setting. METHODS: We conducted an open treatment study of a screening and intervention program modified from the Depression Attention for Women Now (DAWN) Collaborative Care model in a rural obstetric clinic. Depression screen-positive pregnant and postpartum women received problem-solving therapy (PST) with or without antidepressants. A care manager coordinated communication between patient, obstetrician and psychiatric consultant. We measured change in the Patient Health Questionnaire 9 (PHQ-9) score. We used surveys and focus groups to measure patient and provider satisfaction and analyzed focus groups using qualitative analysis. RESULTS: The intervention was well accepted by providers and patients, based on survey and focus group data. Feasibility was also evidenced by recruitment (87.1%) and retention (92.6%) rates and depression outcomes (64% with >50% improvement in PHQ 9) which were comparable to clinical trials in similar urban populations. Conclusions for practice: DAWN Collaborative Care modified for treatment of perinatal depression in a rural obstetric setting is feasible and acceptable. Behavioral health services integrated into rural obstetric settings could improve care for perinatal depression.

Delivering person-centered care with an electronic health record
Type: Journal Article
Year: 2019
Publication Place: England
Abstract: BACKGROUND: Electronic health records are now widely adopted in medical and behavioral health settings. While they have the potential to improve the quality of care, the research findings on their impact on clinical practice and outcomes have been mixed. This study explores how the electronic health record and its stage of development influenced the implementation of person-centered care planning in community mental health clinics. METHODS: The study was set in five community mental health clinics which utilized an EHR and had been trained in person-centered care planning. Using an objective quantitative measure of fidelity, the study examined fidelity to PCCP across time and by stage of EHR development. Data from focus groups, interviews with clinic leaders and consultant reports was analyzed to explore the process of implementation and the role of the electronic health record. RESULTS: All clinics demonstrated an overall increase in PCCP fidelity at the conclusion of the study period but there were significant differences in PCCP fidelity among clinics with EHRs in different stages of development. Electronic health records emerged as a significant implementation factor in the qualitative data with clinics being unable to individualize service plans and encountering technical difficulties. Barriers to person-centered care included drop-down boxes and pre-determined outcomes. Clinic responses included customizing their record or developing workarounds. CONCLUSIONS: The study demonstrated the need to align the electronic health record with a person-centered approach which includes individualizing information and orienting service plans to personal life goals. The ability of clinics to be able to customize their records and balance the need for unique and aggregate information in the record is critical to improve both the provider experience and the quality of care.

Demand and characteristics of a psychiatric 24-hour emergency service performed by mandatory rotation of licensed psychiatrists in Swiss primary care
Type: Journal Article
Year: 2014
Publication Place: New Zealand
Abstract: BACKGROUND: To investigate characteristics of and satisfaction with psychiatric 24-hour emergency primary care performed by mandatory rotation of licensed psychiatrists as a viable baseline for possible reorganizational measures. METHODS: This was a questionnaire-based cross-sectional study (November 2010-April 2011). The number of patient-psychiatrist encounters, modes of contact, and patient and psychiatrist characteristics were assessed. Diagnoses were coded with ICD-10 (International Classification of Diseases, version 10). RESULTS: From 167 duty episodes, 74 (44%) were recorded. Of the psychiatrists (n=44), 52% were female, and mean age (standard deviation) was 49.9 (5.2) years. The median number of encounters per episode was 4 (interquartile range 0-8), mainly in the evenings. Demand for "face-to-face" (direct) patient visits was significantly more common (64.0%) than practice (1.3%) or telephone consultations (34.7%). In 83.8%, psychiatrists judged the encounter as adequate at the patient's location. A total of 43 different diagnoses were recorded: mainly schizophrenic disorders (23.9%), suicidal behavior (15.2%), and acute stress reactions (10.3%). Psychiatrists felt burdened by services (62.5%): in 39.2%, they felt threatened; and in 6.8%, violence occurred. In 32.4%, bills were not paid for. If services were optional, 45.2% would participate. CONCLUSION: Our findings indicate justified demand for direct mobile patient visits, suggesting that emergency care should be multifaceted, and sole provision of psychiatric care at stationed emergency facilities may not always be appropriate. Reorganization of 24-hour emergency services should carefully evaluate patient and provider's needs before changing established structures.
