A question and answer period will be conducted at the end of this presentation. Slide 8 PCBH. What is it? Consultant model Member of primary care team, work side-by-side Goal is to improve PCP management of behavioral issues and improve satisfaction o Wide variety of interventions and goals o Brief visits, limited follow-up o Immediate feedback to PCP o Any behaviorally-based problem, any age Immediate access, minimal barriers Population health principles Slide 9 Program Questions Integration is the standard Not a question of should we integrate, rather how do we integrate? Identify Barriers to QI Model Fidelity QI Metrics and QI Healthcare Alignment Provider Satisfaction Patient Satisfaction Clinical Quality Indicators Slide 10 Barriers to QA/QI Slide 11 Barriers to Quality Assurance and Improvement What barriers have you faced in your practice settings? Clinical? Administrative? Time Resources (manpower) Electronic Health Records Stakeholders Be Pro-active with identifying Vannoy et al., 2011 Slide 12 Barriers to QA/QI Poorly defined quality measures Lack of linked electronic health information Limited descriptions of behavioral health for program metrics Limited to MH Lacking Medical linkage Clinical relevance Fiscal outcomes Kilbourne, Keyser, & Pincus, 2010 Slide 13 Overcoming Barriers Promotes organization self-monitoring Promotes improvement Accountability Sustainability Slide 14 Overcoming Barriers Quality improvement as part of standard clinical training curricula Refinement of technologies to promote adequate data capture of mental health services Need for behavioral health researchers to improve the evidence base for behavioral health treatment Use of incentives to promote provider accountability for improving care Kilbourne, Keyser, & Pincus, 2010 Slide 15 Barriers Barriers will exist what works best for your practice Team-based approach to QA/QI management Change fatigue will happen Start small and celebrate victories along the way! Use management QI strategies (PDSAs, pro formas, PI teams, LEAN, ReAim, RIE) Slide 16 Start with Standardizing Executive leadership review and definition of how you are implementing and fostering the culture of integrated care Identify expectations from leadership, providers, staff, and patients Mirror the quality management to the medical practice review and consider reviewing the established metrics first Every quality indicator MUST be measureable and SMART! Slide 17 Quality Indicator Focus Operational Model fidelity Culture specific Fiscal Program sustainability Program growth Quality Value based Experience of care Population health Satisfaction Cost Ultimately: Help clinics meet the Triple Aim & providers manage their patients Consider process, structure, workflows, benchmarks, and outcomes Slide 18 How do we evaluate PCBH? Operational and Model Fidelity Productivity/Access Session frequency Time spent with patients Penetration rates Top diagnoses Clinical quality indicators Care team meetings Huddling Documentation Communication Location Provider satisfaction Patient satisfaction Utilization outcomes Many others Slide 19 Operational / Model Session Specific Metrics Number of visits per episode of care Why important? Benchmarks Clinic dependent Mean number of visits = 2- 4 visits Median = 2 visits Mode = 1 visits No more than 10-15% of patients receiving more than 6 visits in 12 month period with specific justification of care: PHM or group medical visit focus Slide 20 Increase percentage of patients who are seen for mental, medical, or behavioral health treatment needs by the integrated behavioral health provider. Percentage of clinic patients having a BH consult Benchmark Clinic dependent 25-30% of clinic Care team / pod specific Top diagnosis Benchmark Clinic dependent PHM focus Quality improvement focus Provider study Duplicated vs unduplicated 40-100% for a robust clinic Slide 21 Clinical Quality Metrics Review PCMH NCQA Requirements for IBH. Review NQF, UDS, HEDIS Metrics PCMH 2, Element D, Factor 3: MUST PASS The Practice Team: Increase frequency of utilization of huddle care team form / IBH as part of daily primary care team huddles NQF 0710: Depression Remission at Twelve Months: PCMH 3, Element B, Factor 9: Improve percentage of depression remission (PHQ-9 score of less than 5) at 12 months for patients with PHQ-9 over 9. Slide 22 Experience of Care Process Percentage of pts that were asked to complete a healthcare satisfaction measure Percentage of providers asked to complete satisfaction measure Outcomes Level of pt satisfaction with access Level of pt satisfaction with effectiveness Pt recommendation of office to others Level of provider satisfaction with role enhanced, job, engagement, and quality of care delivered Slide 23 Population Health Process Number of pts seen in PC in a week/month/quarter Percentage of pts seen in PC that were screened for a given problem (e.g., health status, depression, AOD) Percentage of pts that screen positive for a problem Percentage of pts that screen positive that were referred to the PC BH staff for further assessment or intervention Outcome Pt quality of life functioning (e.g., score on a quality of life measure) Pt health functioning (e.g., score on PHQ) Pt physical health indicators (e.g., body mass index, waist girth, weight, blood pressure, blood glucose levels, lipid levels, pain level, alcohol use, physical activity, tobacco use) Review PCMH NCQA Requirements Review NQF, UDS, HEDIS Metrics Slide 24 Cost Process Percentage of pts that were referred to the PC BH staff that kept the appointment (pts with untreated problems have higher overall cost) Percentage reduction in ED usage / specific utilization Percentage of patients that were referred for a BH appointment outside of the primary care clinic Type and duration of PC BH treatment Percentage of types of billing codes used and reimbursed Outcomes Annual percent increase in per capita costs Emergency room visits Emergency room visits for mental health presentation alone Frequency of hospital admissions Annual revenue generation Slide 25 Questions to Form Decision-Making 1.What is your goal for the program? 2.What are the predictors of model fidelity? 3.How can I measure success? 4.How can I demonstrate 1.Patient impact? 2.Fiscal impact? 3.Provider impact? 5.How do I get reliable data? Slide 26 Data Mining Options Collecting metrics to demonstrate quality improvement in PCBH Slide 27 Where/How do I find the Data? Claims data ROI for insurance companies Joint ventures with insurance companies Registries Survey Data Electronic Health Records HIE (Health Information Exchanges) HEDIS, UDS, NQF, Physician Quality Reporting Self-reporting Other ways? Slide 28 Electronic Health Systems and Technology EHR Systems/ HIT Population identification Identification of care gaps Stratification Patient engagement Care management Outcomes measurement Slide 29 Barriers to Data Forms of Data: How to choose? Claims Chunking Small amounts Analytical vs Clinical Volume of Data How to understand it? How is it relevant? Slide 30 Data Points Clinical Indicators Mortality Health status Biometrics Disease prevalence Disability status Health Maintenance Health assessments (screening tools) ED visits Re-admission PHM Standardization HEDIS UDS / NQF / CMS Annual QI Goals RVUs/Productivity Fiscal ROI NCQA PCMH Organizational Employee wellness Job satisfaction employment sustainment Satisfaction Model Length of session CPT coding Diagnosis coding Visit type Productivity Huddles Communication Documentation Slide 31 Quality Assurance/ Evaluation Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) RE-AIM Framework (Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, Maintenance): As you design, plan, or evaluate an intervention, there are questions that you should ask yourself: Reach your intended target population Efficacy: Intervention effectiveness; negative consequences? Adoption by target staff, settings, or institutions Implementation consistency, costs and adaptations made during delivery Maintenance of intervention effects in individuals and settings over time Process and Program Evaluations (e.g., Precede-Proceed): 1) Planning 2) Evaluation Slide 32 Since time is ticking We will focus on only a few metrics, mainly related to productivity/access to care standard examples Benchmark provided but unique to each clinic/organization We will have time for questions! Slide 33 Productivity / Access to Care Patient per hour/clinic Benchmarks 1.5 patients per hour OR 50% of PCPs expectations per clinic PCPs expected to see 10 patients per clinic, BHCs expected to see 5 patients per clinic Initial vs. Follow-ups Danger to both sides of the coin Benchmarks 1:1 or 50% of visits being initials Warm-handoffs/Same-day vs schedule Benchmark 50% Slide 34 Managing: Productivity/Access Per Clinic The solid straight bars indicate your control limits for standard expectation, lowest limit, and possible productivity bonus Slide 35 Initials/RA vs. F/u Slide 36 Warm-handoff/Same day vs Scheduled percentage Slide 37 Improved patient and family care and satisfaction; early identification; pt centered; enhanced adherence and collaboration; shared decision making Consultation; self management support, reduced health disparities; improved care team access Improved cost containment; targeted use of resources; revenue generation; decreased other specialty visits, brief screenings for early identification; increased provider coding Productivity and Access to Care Efforts Slide 38 QUESTIONS Lesley Manson, Psy.D.
