Program Updates

Illinois Breast and Cervical Cancer Screening Program

• The Illinois Breast and Cervical Cancer Program (IBCCP) offers free mammograms, breast exams, pelvic exams and Pap tests to all uninsured Illinois women regardless of income.

• Since the IBCCP launched in October 1995, the program has screened more than 182,976 women.

• The Department of Healthcare and Family Services covers treatment for most women diagnosed with breast or cervical cancer under IBCCP. More than 7,500 women have been referred for treatment (includes RTTA).

IBCCP and Medicaid Expansion

77% of IBCCP caseload is eligible Exact #’s migrating are difficult to attain

at this point in time because: Lead agencies are actively enrollingWe cannot know until our clients drop out of the programWorking with Medicaid to capture enrollees Variation in enrollment across counties

ACA Migration Efforts

Surveyed agencies to assess ACA preparation and needs– 31 out of 35 Agencies responded & identified educational needs as most important at that time

– Hosted a keynote session on ACA at our annual conference

– Provided direction to 35 Leads at our annual meetingOngoing collaboration with 35 Lead agencies throughout

the State to disseminate information on ACA 70 phone calls to collect migration information and provide support

Lead Agency Migration ResponseSignificant variation across counties on migration efforts with some counties seeing no impact and others reporting drastic impact

Agencies are reporting the following related to ACA enrollment:– Women believe they are automatically enrolled so they are not actively enrolling

– Women are choosing not to enroll because they can’t afford the deductible/co‐pay

– Women are confused about the process and are afraid to give out personal information

Lead Agencies, Navigators and ACA

• 32 agencies have navigators, 3 refer to local navigators

• Agencies report a fair amount of time is spent in educating and connecting clients to ACA

• Preliminary information suggests that navigators reach clients by:– sending information packets to clients who are due for screenings, sometimes following up with phone calls

– directly asking clients coming in for services whether they have applied or if they are going to apply for ACA

Need for IBCCP

Undocumented womenWomen may opt out of ACA for various reasons, including deductibles, lack of knowledge related to medical systems, access to technology Continue to work with our Medicaid State Partners for answers

FP National ImplicationIOM recommended that OFP develop and implement a multiyear evidence‐based strategic plan. IOM also made specific recommendations to improve program management and administration. For example, IOM recommended that:

• methods of allocating funds be examined and improved, • drug purchasing sources be consolidated,• clinics’ administrative burden be reduced,• a single method be adopted for determining criteria for eligible

services,• transparency be increased,• workforce needs be assessed, and• program guidelines be evidence‐based

Family Planning Updates

• FY15 Family Planning Grant Application • Conducting research on grant‐based systems versus fee for service systems;

• Staffing update• Reviewing how ACA impacts providers;• Reaching out to providers who do not have EMR records;

• Reviewing various types of preconception and interconception education materials; and

• Reviewing of Ahlers reports to ensure that we are on target with our clinical services.

Teen Pregnancy

• Address rural teen pregnancy and STI rates• Staff updates• Comprehensive Sexual Education (emphasize parent‐teen communication)

• Look at barriers in Family Planning Clinics• Motivational Interviewing

Regionalized Perinatal Network• Establishment of a system of performance measures, targets, and goals to improve public health practices

• Reevaluation of the current process and system of designating perinatal levels of care in the state’s maternity hospitals

• Development and implementation of referral and transport policies and mechanisms to ensure that every mother and newborn receives risk appropriate care

• Support of culturally‐humble and linguistically‐appropriate care

There are so many MCH Programs, Why is Title V Special?

Title V was established in 1935, longest standing public health legislation in the US Only national program accountable for

comprehensive systems of preventative, primary care and specialty services for the MCH Population

16

MCH Programs Must

• Anticipate issues and problems and advocate for this population;

• Assure continuity of care across the life cycle;

• Assure full services to those at increased risk, or with special health care needs; and

• Focus on the physical, mental and emotional health of all women and children

17

Triple Aim

• Better Care

• Healthy People/Healthy Communities

• Affordable Care

MCH Block Grant Needs Assessment

• Title V requires an assessment of the needs for the following, every five years:– Preventive and primary care – Services for Children with Special Health Care Needs

• Goal of Needs Assessment:– Improved outcomes form MCH populations– Strengthened Partnerships

56

Quantitative Data

• UIC is producing a quantitative data book on Illinois MCH needs

• The data book will include several National and State indicators that are required in the Title V needs assessment

• Researchers will collaborate with data groups to evaluate the State’s progress in alleviating 2010 MCH needs and identifying emerging Illinois MCH challenges

Qualitative

• We will be scheduling community focus groups within our seven health regions.

• The information collected from community focus groups will guide Needs Assessment priorities.

• Discussions will be facilitated by trained professionals from the community so participants feel comfortable with voicing their opinions. We will also include note takers, list common concerns and empower participants to determine which needs are most important.

• Upon conclusion, participants and the OWHFS staff will come together to discuss how to effectively maintain communication so we can continue to receive community input for the Needs Assessment.

• Focus group facilitators• Media contacts

Focus Group Outcomes

• Collect and integrate qualitative information into the Title V Maternal & Child Health Block Grant Needs Assessment

• Learn about the unique challenges facing your region and set performance objectives

• Engage stakeholders and strengthen partnerships with agencies and organizations that have an interest in the well-being of maternal and child health needs
