• (Caregiver, Child, Family)

PRD data • 89% of mothers seen for well child visits < 4

months of age get screened

• 10% of mothers scored ≥10 on at least one

visit.

• 60 % by CLIMB provider only, 4%

(21/508)social worker (SW), 11 %

• Those mothers who score high have more

clinic visits as part of their treatment

compared to those that do not (means 2.6

(1.1 sd), median 3.0 and 2.3 (1.1 sd),

median 2.0, respectively

Developmental Screening and

Closing the Referral Loop

Talmi A, Bunik M Pediatrics 2014

ASQ and EI Findings

• Developmental screening and referral is

necessary but not sufficient.

• Success of developmental screening

process depends on enhancing referral

completion.

• An intervention providing phone follow-up

and assistance with referral yielded

higher rates of referral and greater

provider knowledge of referral outcomes.

Talmi A, Bunik M Pediatrics 2014

Healthy Steps for Young Children

(www.healthysteps.org)

• Provide enhanced developmental services in pediatric primary care settings;

• Focus on developing a close relationship between the clinician and the family in order to address the physical, socioemotional, and cognitive development of babies and young children;

• Currently used in 18 residency training programs nationally

• MIECHV funding to expand our program and develop new sites across Colorado

• Baby & Me at the CHC

• (Child, Caregiver, Family)

26 Bunik M et al. Pediatrics July 2013

Methods: MI Intervention

The pediatric provider offers a MI session to

help make a plan for cessation or reduction.

If yes, trained provider meets family for 20

minute session. CLIMB providers are

primary counselors for the intervention.

If no, reasons for refusal are solicited.

Results: Survey for

Satisfaction

• At the 1 week surveys, 81% (n=25/31)

reported MI definitely worth their time.

• 81% (n=25/31) felt MI educator understood

their situation very or fairly well.

• 77% (n=24/31) found the quality of the MI

program excellent or good.

• 70% reported that most or almost all of the

of the participants needs were met

(n=21/30)

Summary of SHS Findings • The 'ONE Step' Quality Improvement

intervention was associated with a higher quit rate (14%) compared to Colorado 2008 state data for low SES population (5%).

• Most parent/caregivers reported reductions in smoking behaviors

• Addition of MI looks promising but need to talk to families ‘treat it as an MI emergency’

Bunik M et al. Pediatrics July 2013

Breastfeeding Management Evaluation earlier is better and support

from an infant mental health specialist is

crucial

It’s Complicated

• Pregnancy-related depression

• Paternal depression

• Sleep expectations/deprivation

• Sibling adjustment

• Financial stress

• Other family stressors

• Transition to parenthood

• Previous fertility or loss issues

evaluate the sustainability of integrated behavioral

health services in community-based pediatric

primary care practices serving publicly insured

children by disseminating the Project CLIMB model.

• Expansion of integrated behavioral health services

will improve the health outcomes for publicly

insured children ages 0-18 through increased

access to behavioral health services.

Systems Isssues

• Maternal Infant Early Childhood Home

Visitation (MIECHV) federal funding

• State Innovations Model (SIM) - $65M

• Office of Early Childhood

• Regional Care Collaboratives

• Behavioral Health Organizations

INTEGRATED BEHAVIORAL HEALTH: A FINAL

PIECE OF THE MEDICAL HOME PUZZLE Christopher Stille, MD, MPH

Department of Pediatrics, UC Denver SOM/Children’s Hospital Colorado,

March 23, 2015

April 1, 2015

The Medical Home: definitions

• US MCHB definition: A Medical Home provides

care which is:

• Accessible

• Family-Centered

• Continuous

• Comprehensive

• Coordinated

• Compassionate

• Culturally Effective

• Robert Frost definition:

“Home is the place where

when you go there, they

have to take you in.”

• My definition:

The medical place where

the buck stops.

Why focus on behavioral health services?

We see this, many times, every day

4 year old boy for a 20 minute well child checkup

Previously healthy, few minor medical problems

Screen with PEDS: “behavioral problems”

Lives with mother (teen) and grandmother, father

incarcerated

Described as "a handful", "hard to manage" and "difficult"

since he started to walk. Referred for EI and behavioral

therapy in past

After 30 minutes of rambling history, they finally admit their

primary concern: he has injured two kittens that live in the

house and expresses no remorse over this practice. The

family is concerned for safety (his and theirs)

Why does integrated care matter so

much? • Accessible

• Family-Centered

• Continuous

• Comprehensive

• Coordinated

• Compassionate

Current challenges • Challenges unique to behavioral health that are addressed by integrated care: • Insurance “carveouts”

• Stigma

• Tradition of confidentiality

• Lack of continuity

• Interplay of physical and behavioral health

• Lack of awareness of the medical home as a source of mental health care (and other services)

• Accessible

• Family-Centered

• Continuous

• Comprehensive

• Coordinated

• Compassionate

Child Mental Health: Opportunities for prevention

But I’m just a primary care provider…?

• I see LOTS of behavioral health issues

• I think I am reasonably smart and caring

• I can’t do diagnostic interviews

• I can’t do therapy

• I can prescribe meds, but only so far…

For the primary care team:

take a “Common Factors” approach • Tending to the alliance you build with families is a

treatment in itself, and facilitates the impact of other

treatment you provide

• Clarifying concrete concerns and making it clear that you

are working toward addressing those concerns is also

therapeutic

• A relatively small repertoire of brief advice may help many

families while waiting for more definitive diagnosis and

treatment

From Wissow et al. Adm Policy Ment Health. Jul 2008;35(4):305-318

Step 2: Make use of your integrated

behavioral health colleagues… • After screening and identifying concerns, and clarifying

needs with patients and families, you are best prepared to

inform your behavioral health colleagues so they can get

a head start

• Later, you can best support what they do in followup visits

with the family

What About A Virtual Team?

• Consult liaison model • PCP as point of contact

• Phone consult with 30 minutes

• Single visit psychiatric consult within 2 weeks

• Care coordination for “hard cases”

• Funding secured to bring modified program statewide

• Open to all (MassHealth and private payers)

CPAP vs. integrated care

• CPAP more accessible especially at a distance

• Few of the benefits of integrated care but much better

than the “status quo”

• Bridge to an integrated care model

• Complements integrated care

• Psychiatry available by phone if not available in person

• Coordination of psychiatry and psychology essential

• This is not telehealth… but telehealth is being explored as

a way to improve it in some states

And then,

the State

Innovation

Model: There is a

LOT going on

in Colorado.

Colorado SIM grant: brand new

• Goal: 80% of people statewide have access to integrated

behavioral health

• Practice transformation

• Payment reform

• Measurement

• Challenge: aligning adult and child interests

• Pilot of a model like this ongoing in 8 practices using the

CLIMB model

The policy argument

April 1, 2015 Presentation Title 56

• Triple Aim (or just money): • Moving from episodic payment to whole

person care

• Any divides hurt this

• Mental illness begins in childhood • Early treatment saves money and improves

outcomes

• Children are not little adults • Need different systems

• Need better measures

• Need different payment

Understanding Your Policy Audience

• Most elected officials are not health policy experts.

• Most elected officials are juggling very full agendas.

• Medicaid Directors have a huge job and limited capacity

Framing The Policy Discussion

• Children are Not Small Adults

• Whole Family Care Essential

• Focus on Prevention

• Focus on Community Settings

• Appropriate Evaluation

Policy Opportunities

Access and Delivery Models • Meet families where they are – reduce stigma

• Primary care doctors offices • Child care settings & schools

• Infrastructure for screening, referral & case management

• Standardized tools & protocol for screening • Unified data collection

• Resources for families in crisis

• Statewide crisis support line

Financing • Paying for preventive services and non-medical supports

• Screening, referral, follow-up • Case management, transportation, food

• Family care, not individual patient care

• Multi-generational care from same provider

• Appropriate metrics for evaluating and paying for care

• Process metrics, if not outcome metrics

Workforce • Addressing shortages in rural & underserved communities

• Recruiting and retaining providers in underserved places • Telehealth and innovative models to serving remote

communities

• Form Partnerships & Nurture Coalitions

– Look for existing networks to leverage

– Build new groups only when necessary or at critical junctures

Policy Strategies

• Capitalize on Opportunities

– Be opportunistic over the short term

– Find places to build a pediatric mental health component into existing work

• Create New Movements

– Be intentional and proactive over the long-term

– Build a multi-year agenda
