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 2
3
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 3
4
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) 4
5
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 5

Milwaukee County Adult Monthly Admissions (Age 21+): 2011-2013 25
26
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. 26
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. 27
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. 28
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. 29
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. 30
31
Four Scenarios Scenario #1 BHD continues to operate a smaller number of high-acuity beds at the Mental Health Complex or in a smaller facility. 31
32
Four Scenarios Scenario #2 BHD purchases high-acuity capacity at a private hospital. 32
33
Four Scenarios Scenario #3 Milwaukee County residents with high-acuity, longer term needs are referred to a state- operated hospital. 33
34
Four Scenarios Scenario #4 BHD operates a regionalized facility. 34
