  2. Outline • Introduction • PCMH Designation • Molina Healthcare PCMH Program • School Based Healthcare Centers and PCMH • Questions

  3. Introduction

  4. Primary Care in New Mexico • In the United States the PCP to specialist ratio is about 30:70* • In other developed countries the ratio is 70:30 • In those countries health care costs are lower and outcomes often better • In New Mexico the ratio is about 20:80 • Currently about 7% of medical students enter office based primary care • *Klepper, B., Medscape Journal of Medicine. 2008; 10(12): 280 PMCID: 2644012

  5. What is PCMH? Adapted from the American Academy of Family Physicians

  6. Why is it important? • U.S. adults with a primary care physician rather than a specialist had 33 percent lower costs of care and were 19 percent less likely to die. • U.S. adults who reported having a PCP rather than a specialist as their regular source of care had lower 5 year mortality rates after controlling for initial differences in health status, demographics, health insurance status, health perceptions, reported diagnosis, and smoking status. • A medical home can reduce or even eliminate racial and ethnic disparities in access and quality. • Denmark has organized its entire health care system around patient-centered medical homes. It has the highest patient satisfaction ratings in the world, among the lowest per capita health expenditures and highest primary care rankings. • Investing in Primary Care Patient Centered Medical Homes results in: • Improved quality of care. • Higher patient and provider satisfaction. • Decreased cost and utilization. • Starfield B. Shi L, and Macinko J. Contributions of Primary Care to Health Systems and Health, Millbank Quarterly, Vol. 83, No. 3, 2005 (457-502), Commonwealth Fund

  7. Who is NCQA and TJC? • NCQA • Independent 501(c)(3) non-profit organization in the United States designed to improve health care quality. • Established in 1990 with support from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation . • NCQA manages voluntary accreditation programs for individual physicians, health plans, and medical groups. • TJC • Not-for-profit organization that operates accreditation programs for a fee to subscriber hospitals and other health care organizations. • A majority of state governments have come to recognize Joint Commission accreditation as a condition of licensure and the receipt of Medicaid reimbursement. • Surveys (inspections) typically follow a triennial cycle, with findings made available to the public.

  8. PCMH in New Mexico • In the last year 119 providers have received NCQA PCMH Recognition • Sites • UNM - multiple • Taos Clinic for Children and Youth • Santa Fe Medical Group – Santa Fe Family Health • Santa Fe Medical Group – Corazon Family Health • Presbyterian Medical Group – Isleta Clinic • Trinity Family Medicine – Clovis, NM • Molina is working with 10 additional clinic sites and a School Based Health Center.

  10. Patient Centered Medical Home Designation • The Joint Commission (TJC) • Primary Care Home Option • NCQA PCMH Recognition

  11. TJC Primary Care Home Option • Developing standards to expand the process of accrediting ambulatory health care organizations to include Primary Care Home option • Standards released Spring 2011 • On-site surveys for Primary Care home accreditation planned to start July 2011 • “Defining and Measuring the Patient-Centered Medical Home” Journal of General Internal Medicine 2010 June; 25(6):601-610. Published online 2010 May 1

  12. NCQA PCMH Recognition • Innovative program to improve primary care • Communicates an action plan for becoming a PCMH • Acknowledge as the primary standardized method for evaluating a practice’s capability of performing as a PCMH • Standards available for no cost on NCQA website • Provide educational programs across the country and free education on their web site

  13. 2011 PCMH NCQA Standards Standard 1: Enhance Access and Continuity Standard 2: Identify and Manage Patient Populations Standard 3: Plan and Manage Care Standard 4: Provide Self-Care and Community Support Standard 5: Track and Coordinate Care Standard 6: Measure and Improve Performance

  14. NCQA Recognition Levels • The NCQA recognition levels allow practices at different levels to become recognized • Level 1: 35 – 59 with 6 must-pass elements • Level 2: 50 – 84 with 6 must-pass elements • Level 3: 85 – 100 with 6 must-pass elements

  15. Molina medical home programs

  22. Molina and school based Health

  23. Molina Healthcare and SBHC • Initial meetings and interests for both parties • Helped in decision-making process for determining sites or site • Constructively worked together to determine most approachable and achievable modules for a SBHC • Developed an agreement documentation • Held collaborative meetings to provide direction and assist with understanding of module concept

  30. Promotes Health Education & Community Recourses • Supports self-care management (e.g., education resources, plans & goals, abilities, tools to record self-care, counsels on healthy behaviors) • Refers to community resources (keeps list, tracks referrals, arranges treatment for mental health and substance abuse, health education)
