Universal Care Delivery Process
• Same health processes for all patients but add extra attention to dissolve the unique barriers of diverse populations. – PHQ-9 for all– Added supports for people of color– In lieu of PHQ-9, Georgi Kroupin, PhD created a short
standardized questionnaire (Center for International Health)
– MN Dept Human Services: MH Screening for Immigrants
![Page 36: Tackling the Health Outcome Disparity Gap Together: A Primary Care Based Collaborative to Reduce Behavioral Health Outcome Disparities Associated with](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/5697bfa51a28abf838c97f94/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Universal Health Plan Process
• Same health processes for all members but add extra attention to dissolve the unique barriers of diverse populations. – First fill phone calls– Overdue refill phone calls– Incentive / gift card to defray expenses
![Page 37: Tackling the Health Outcome Disparity Gap Together: A Primary Care Based Collaborative to Reduce Behavioral Health Outcome Disparities Associated with](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/5697bfa51a28abf838c97f94/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Universal Enterprise Process
• Online interactive Beating the Blues– 5th grade reading level– Personalized invitation from primary care
physician, clinic based depression care manager, health plan
• Reducing MH stigma through Make It OK– Outreach through county public health
departments– Outreach to faith community
![Page 38: Tackling the Health Outcome Disparity Gap Together: A Primary Care Based Collaborative to Reduce Behavioral Health Outcome Disparities Associated with](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/5697bfa51a28abf838c97f94/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Quality Improvement Cycle
• It often takes 5 years to improve population health• It takes more effort if there is stigma or lack of cultural
understanding• New innovations must be developed, implemented and
evaluated • Our data from colorectal cancer screening suggests 5
years is a reasonable QI cycle• Our first year data on antidepressant focus resulted in
little movement
![Page 39: Tackling the Health Outcome Disparity Gap Together: A Primary Care Based Collaborative to Reduce Behavioral Health Outcome Disparities Associated with](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/5697bfa51a28abf838c97f94/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Lessons of Working Collaboratively to Reduce Health Outcome Disparities
• Thinking outside the box is one thing---putting it into action is quite another… – Fear of trying something new which alters your
typical work and typical roles– Fear of failing in public and being humiliated– Fear of disappointing others and losing credibility– Fear of the hard work it takes to create and
implement new protocols – Fear of getting guidance from & taking direction
from those you consider outside “My Team”
![Page 40: Tackling the Health Outcome Disparity Gap Together: A Primary Care Based Collaborative to Reduce Behavioral Health Outcome Disparities Associated with](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/5697bfa51a28abf838c97f94/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Collaboration Success Factors
– Triple Aim culture– Trust among leaders representing a variety
of areas and perspectives– Mutual encouragement to tackle the hard
problems– Creativity plus deep clinical expertise in
care and care support processes– Courage to move from the conceptual to
the practical--trying “what has never been”
![Page 41: Tackling the Health Outcome Disparity Gap Together: A Primary Care Based Collaborative to Reduce Behavioral Health Outcome Disparities Associated with](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081603/5697bfa51a28abf838c97f94/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Collaboration Success Factors
– Listening sincerely to input from the front line and patients and believing their input
– Finding champions among physician leaders to pilot, refine and prepare for spread
– Creating a dependably consistent process and maintaining accountability by calling out the score with meaningful metrics
– Momentum helps to overcome habitual ways of thinking and acting
