FROM CO-LOCATED TO MORE- INTEGRATED Claudia W. Allen, PhD, JD Theodore Siedlecki, Jr., PhD Rebekah Compton, DNP, FNP-BC USING THE PCMH APPLICATION AND TEAM-BASED CARE TO BETTER INTEGRATE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH INTO A PCC University of Virginia Department of Family Medicine

OBJECTIVE How did we get here? What are we doing now? Where are we going?

WHAT ARE THE ISSUES? Where patients seek behavioral health care Size of need Physical separation Access concerns Difficulty collecting cost outcomes data

WHAT DID WE FIND ?  Review of our patients with more than 1 ED visit in the past year revealed that the majority of those patients went to the ED …  with behavioral health issues, NOT the diabetes, CHF, or COPD that we were thinking!  Patients are told to follow-up with their PCP

OUR CONCERNS  Clinic set-up  Acute needs  Bi-directional relationships: diabetes and depression

WE STARTED HERE A few consults a week Preceptor Beh Med Clinic

HOW COULD WE DO BETTER?

OUR JOURNEY  Interest in becoming a PCMH  Regular meetings started with clinical leadership (but forgot about our Mental Health team!!)  NCQA PCMH 2008 guidelines  Next step – 2011 guidelines  More Mental Health discussed  We need to talk with our Behavioral specialist!  Time goes by….

JOURNEY CONTINUES… Behavioral specialist reaches out to the PCMH leadership team about desire to be involved (aren’t we lucky!) Behavioralists attend team meetings. Benefit is noted!! These folks can do more than just see our patients for counseling!

2011 AND 2014 NCQA PCMH GUIDELINES Emphasis on behavioral health care continues Element 2D: self-management, self-efficacy, and behavior change Element 3C: Screening needs (Developmental and depression) Element 4C: Assess medication adherence barriers

WHERE ARE WE GOING? 2014 NCQA guidelines encourage even more focus on mental health care and support Element 1A: alternative encounters Element 2B: behavioral health Element 3E: mh or substance use Element 4A: Care mgmt. Element 4B: goals Element 4E: self-care

IMPACT OF SETTING GOALS ON HEALTH OUTCOMES Kiesler and Bandura promoted use of action plans (goals) Setting an action plan and raising the confidence of completion associated with patients reaching their goals Let patients set the goal Behavioral counseling can help in achieving the goal

Enhanced patient care Improved communication Support for busy providers Team involvement on quality improvement Medication adherence Lifestyle changes Parental support

THERE ARE SO MANY BENEFITS TO INTEGRATIVE CARE!! Great patient care Support for providers Team members benefit More opportunities…
