  2. Faculty Disclosure The presenters of this session have NOT had any relevant financial relationships during the past 12 months.

  3. Learning Assessment A question and answer period will be conducted at the end of this presentation.

  4. Learning Objectives At the conclusion of this session, participants will be able to: • Describe the continuum of integration in primary care and how practice facilitation supports practice redesign. • Discuss the clinical, operational and financial elements required to evaluate, implement and sustain the integration of primary care and behavioral health. • Discuss the role primary care leadership may play in advancing efforts to integrate behavioral health.

  5. Audience Assessment • What is your orienting perspective? • Primary Care Clinician • Behavioral Health Clinician • Integrated Care Specialist • Research Faculty/Staff • Other • What is your level of experience with integrated care? • Novice • Intermediate • Expert

  6. Session Overview • InteGREAT Project Overview (10 min) • Location • Objectives • Tools • Clinician/Practice Facilitator Panel (20 min) • Practicing Clinician/Health System Leadership • Practice Facilitator • National Viewpoint • Questions & Answers/Learning Assessment (10 min)

  7. InteGREAT: Building Capacity for Integrated Behavioral Health & Primary Care

  8. Project Location

  9. InteGREAT Project (June 2014 – May 2015): Project Aims: • Build partnerships among practices that are interested in integration. • Collaborate with practices to create the foundation for integration (clinically, operationally, and financially). • Provide technical assistance (via practice facilitation) as practices initiate their integrated initiatives. • Overarching Goal: To assist practices in the PacificSource Community Solutions Columbia Gorge CCO in the development of capacity for integrating behavioral health and primary care.

  10. Dimensions of integrated care

  11. The “range” of integrated services Miller, B. F., Brown Levey, S. M., Payne-Murphy, J. C., & Kwan, B. M. (2014). Outlining the scope of behavioral health practice in integrated primary care: Dispelling the myth of the one-trick mental health pony. Families, Systems, & Health, 32(3), 338.

  12. 1) Build Partnerships • Build a relationship between PacificSource CCO, OHSU, and UCD partners • Work collaboratively with 4 primary care clinics and 1 behavioral health agency identified by Integrated Care Work Team (ICWT) • Serve majority of OHP clients/patients in the region • Interested in integration • Mentors/resources for other clinics in the region • Foster development of learning ecosystem across the CCO with a focus on “honest discussions” in the ICWT

  13. 2) Utilize tools to create the foundation for successful integration • Clinically • Clinical Quality Measures Reporting Assessment • Minimal Data Set • Operationally • Practice Information Form • Comprehensive Primary Care Monitor or Health Home Monitor • Workflow Development • Financially • Cost Assessment of Collaborative Healthcare (CoACH) Cost Tool

  14. 3) Provide technical assistance via practice facilitation • Practice Facilitation: the provision of onsite and virtual support to primary care practices and other health care settings to redesign clinical processes and improve clinical outcomes for individual patients and the overall population of patients served. • Practice Facilitator: • Specially trained individuals who assist primary care clinicians in research and quality improvement projects. • Distinguished from consultants through specialized training, broad scope of practice, and a long-term relationships with an organization, its providers and its patients.

  15. Panelists Kristen Dillon, MD Director, PacificSource Columbia Gorge CCO Family Physician, Columbia Gorge Family Medicine Beth Sommers, MPH Practice Enhancement Research Coordinator Oregon Rural Practice-based Research Network, Oregon Health & Science University Stephanie Kirchner, MSPH, RD Practice Transformation Program Manager University of Colorado, Department of Family Medicine

  16. What did your practice experience during InteGREAT? Potential Probes • What’s is your practice structure and who do you serve? • Why did you (or your practice) want to participate in InteGREAT? • What were the practice’s goals around integrating behavioral health? • Who in your practice was involved in the work of InteGREAT? What did they do? • How was your practice’s experience similar/different from the other participating sites? Other panel members, additional thoughts or comments?

  17. Characteristics of Participating Primary Care Practices at Baseline* *These four practices care for >75% of the regions Medicaid population

  18. Comprehensive Primary Care Monitor

  19. As the practice facilitator for InteGREAT, what did you do? Potential Probes • How did your role vary based on practice structure/experience with integrated care? • What practice characteristics made it “easier” to help practices progress? • Understanding of “integrated care” • Health Information Technology Capacity (and infrastructure) • Quality Improvement experience • How did practice expectations marry up with what was accomplished during the InteGREAT project? Other panel members, additional thoughts or comments?

  20. Vision for Integrated Care in the Gorge

  21. What role does leadership play in supporting these kinds of changes in primary care practices? Potential Probes • What challenges did you/your practice experience? • What successes did you/your practice experience? • What type of leadership is required at the practice level? At the health system level? Are these similar or different? Other panel members, additional thoughts or comments?

  22. Describe your work in Colorado and nationally to support integrated care, how was the experience in InteGREAT similar/different? Potential Probes • How was the inteGREAT structure similar/different to other projects, what impact does this have on the practice/practice facilitator relations? • What recommendations do you have for others locally and nationally based on what you’ve observed? Other panel members, additional thoughts or comments?

  23. Group Discussion/Learning Assessment • What did you hear that resonates with or counters your experience? • What additional questions do you have of the panel? • How might you apply what you heard today in your own setting?

  24. Lessons Learned • Integration is a Developmental Process • Using the same words, but not with the same meaning • Pre/post assessments of behavioral health integration may not have changed, but understanding did: • “Even when we scored the same over time, our vision and understanding of the questions have changed, such that we’ve framed up where we are/ want to go.” • “We are not where we were, but we are not where we want to be.”

  25. Lessons Learned, continued • Electronic Health Records (EHRs) not up to snuff with data tracking for common behavioral health conditions. Able to track: • Screening results (e.g., PHQ for depression, smoking) = Yes, Partial • Follow-up plan for patients with a positive screen = Partial, No • Patient’s improvement over time = No • Practices need additional help with templates, queries, reporting (and space to use data to inform quality improvement process)

  26. Lessons Learned, continued • Overall impression: Participating primary care practices have vision for integrated care • Coach Cost Tool indicates service addition would be cost saving/cost neutral
