Introduction
• System that is recovery-oriented and community-focused
• 2010 HSRI/TAC/PPF Report• Changes at BHD since 2011– Reduction in use of Crisis Services– Decrease in inpatient admissions– Increasing community-based services
• Determining inpatient bed need
![Page 3: Analysis of Adult Bed Capacity for Milwaukee County Behavioral Health System](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56813e44550346895da82f19/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)

National Context
• Decreasing inpatient capacity• Olmstead• Institutions for Mental Disease (IMD)
exclusion and other reimbursement issues• Affordable Care Act (ACA)• Growth of community-based alternatives

Methods
• Data Collection– Monthly inpatient admissions 2011-Q1 2014
requested from BHD and private hospitals– Community-Based Service summaries from
BHD– In-person and telephone interviews with key
stakeholders– Cross-county data from Wisconsin Hospital
Association (WHA)

Methods
• Utilization-based formula used to estimate bed need in the system currently:
[Adult admissions Median length of stay]/365 = Number of beds utilized
– Applied occupancy rate range of 80% to 90%
• Future bed need projection:[# of decreased adult admissions Median length of stay]/365 = Number of fewer beds utilized

Access to Community-Based Services
• Budgeted initiatives since 2011– Community Recovery Services (CRS)– Comprehensive Community Services (CCS)
• Community-Based Services– SAIL– CARS – CLASP– Targeted Case Management– Community-Based Residential Facility– Outpatient

Recommendations
1. Based on the current capacity and composition of the overall adult mental health system in Milwaukee, adult inpatient bed capacity should be in the range of 167 to 188 beds.
![Page 27: Analysis of Adult Bed Capacity for Milwaukee County Behavioral Health System](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56813e44550346895da82f19/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
27
Recommendations
2. Using the upper range of beds needed in the system to meet demand (188 beds), 54 to 60 adult inpatient beds should be maintained to serve high-acuity and/or indigent patients and roughly 128 to 134 beds should be maintained to serve low-to-moderate acuity patients.
![Page 28: Analysis of Adult Bed Capacity for Milwaukee County Behavioral Health System](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56813e44550346895da82f19/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
28
Recommendations
3. BHD should expand community-based services that have been shown to promote recovery and decrease the need for hospitalization. Future decreases in bed capacity should be based on inpatient and community-based services metrics that demonstrate a sustainable decrease in demand for inpatient beds.
![Page 29: Analysis of Adult Bed Capacity for Milwaukee County Behavioral Health System](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56813e44550346895da82f19/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
29
Recommendations
#3 continued….– Based on current length of stay, we estimate that
for every 225 BHD admissions (median LOS 8 days) that the system can divert and sustain, roughly five fewer high-acuity beds are needed in the system.
– For every 450 admissions to the private hospitals (median LOS 4 days) that the system can divert, roughly five fewer low/moderate acuity beds are needed in the system.

30
Recommendations
4. The private hospitals should continue to increase their role in meeting the psychiatric inpatient needs of Milwaukee County residents. BHD should collaborate with and assist the private hospitals to successfully treat individuals with complex situations and seamlessly facilitate their discharge back into the community.
