  4. Legislative Authority • AB 1040 in 1995 (revised in 1998) • State Office of LTC: • provides planning $$ • provides “Center” resources • provides liaison with other state programs • approves local activity toward LTCI • will assist in procuring federal waivers

  5. San Diego LTCIP Stakeholder Vision for Elderly & Disabled • Develop service delivery “system” that: • provides continuum of all health, social and support services that “wrap around consumer” w/prevention & early intervention focus • pools associated (categorical) funding • is consumer driven and responsive • expands access to/options for care

  6. Stakeholder Vision (continued) • Fairly compensates all providers w/rate structure developed locally • Engages MD as pivotal team member • Decreases fragmentation/duplication w/single point of entry, single plan of care • Improves quality & is budget neutral • Implements Olmstead Decision locally • Maximizes federal and state funding

  7. Why change? • Impact of demographics on healthcare • Cost containment vs. care management • Health & support service fragmentation • Categorical admin $$ to service $$ • Consumer/outcomes not current focus

  8. From Vision to Service Delivery Model…

  9. From LTCIP Vision to Service Delivery Model… • Explore Healthy San Diego due to: • Access, education, prevention • Advocacy • Cost-effectiveness • Population-based • Existing infrastructure • Stakeholder-designed, BUT

  10. HSD Currently Does NOT… • Tailor the program for chronic care or aged and disabled persons • Provide “wraparound” services • Provide chronic care management on a population basis • Receive adequate reimbursement for chronic care • Have much info on “duals”

  11. Where are we now? • BOS: “come back with 3 options” • Dr. Mark Meiners strategies/looking for “consortium of funding”: • Network of Care • Physician Strategy • HSD Health Plan Pilots • Administrative Action Plan for FY 2003-04 State Development Grant • Establishment of Mental Health Workgroup

  12. Network of Care • Testing with • consumers and caregivers • community based organizations • other providers, Call Center staff • To develop “continuous quality improvement” program • Measure behavior changes of providers and consumers

  13. Physician Strategy • Partner w/physicians vested in chronic care • Develop interest/incentive for support of “after office” services (HCBC) • Identify care management resources to support physicians/office staff to link patients and communicate across systems • Train on healthy aging, geriatric/chronic disease protocol, pharmacy, HCBC supports

  14. Health Plan Pilots • Pilots to do small, voluntary models of care integrated across the health, social, and supportive services continuum: • Evercare (or any other private healthcare entity) to contract with State if stakeholders agree (AB43) • Healthy San Diego Health Plans to develop pilot with consultant resources • Stakeholders currently providing feedback on consultant team’s final report

  15. Mental Health & SA Today • Current Medi-Cal carve-out (UBH) • Limited Medicare reimbursement • LTCIP stakeholders want no carve-outs • Mental health and substance abuse problems under-diagnosed & under-treated • Quality of life and cost impact of untreated mental illness/substance abuse is huge • Most state integration projects do not enroll disabled w/primary MH diagnosis • Seniors do not self-identify as having MH &/or SA issues; don’t use MH Centers/SA services

  16. Mental Health and LTCIP • Establishment of Mental Health Workgroup to: • hear from broad array of stakeholders • focus on consumer as “whole” in system • develop plan specific to San Diego and LTCIP • How do we “mainstream” mental health and substance abuse services for aged and disabled? • parity w/physical health for treatment • age-, disease-specific treatment • delivered as “part of the whole” • viewed within greater context of health

  17. LTCIP Mental Health & Substance Abuse Workgroup • Goal: Make recommendation to Planning Committee on inclusion of mental health and substance abuse programs, populations, and services • Establishment of this Working Committee • Importance of consensus (consumers & providers) on a recommendation • Forward recommendation to larger Workgroup by January 2004
