Local/State Updates

Technology Update
Orange County Behavioral Health Service's path to an Electronic Health Record (EHR) has begun to be defined:
It is a two prong process:
1. Clinical Content Design and Definition of Methodology.
2. Upgrade Network and System Infrastructure to support an EHR application.
6
Clinical Content Design
We are performing our due diligence to design the best and most efficient clinical content and execution methodology to reflect Recovery oriented services and support compliance with Medi-Cal and Medicare billing standards
An additional design consideration is to allow for outcome measures to be gathered from our clinical documentation
To assist us in this effort we have hired an EHR Project Coordinator
We are also part of a Statewide Coalition that is coming together to identify the best practices for treatment plans and other clinical documentation
7
Upgrade Network and System Infrastructure to support an EHR application Existing systems and supporting applications
are old and past end-of-life, and need to be upgraded to better support current technologies and to sustain the development and deployment of an integrated EHR system.
MHSA funds will be needed to pay the Mental Health Plan’s proportional share of the servers and other hardware peripherals required for this upgrade.
We will be back before the end of this Fiscal Year with a specific infrastructure upgrade plan.
8
Technology Stakeholder Process
We will be forming two Advisory Committees to assist us with our efforts:
EHR Design Advisory Committee Its purpose will be to ensure our content is recovery
oriented and that any IT expenditures support MHSA goals
Outcome Measures Advisory Committee Its purpose will be to assist us in identifying meaningful
outcome measures using the data currently available and data from the EHR in the future
If you would like to participate in either of these Advisory committees, please provide your contact information to Kate Pavich at the break or after today’s meeting

BUILDING BRIDGESFOR OUR VETERANS
OC Health Care Agency
Behavioral Health Services:
Caring for Orange County Veterans
and their Families
26
How Many Vets Are We Talking About? Total US veteran (all wars) population as
of September 2008:
Approx. 23.4 million
Total Orange County veteran (all wars) population September 2008:
Approx. 148,915
5% of OC’s population are veterans
27
How Many Female VetsAre We Talking About? US female veterans (all wars) number
1,802,491
California has the highest number of female vets (all wars) at 166,984
Orange County has the second highest female veteran (all wars) population at 9,638 (Los Angeles has 30,590)
Total registered female vets at Long Beach Veteran’s Administration (including LA vets): 1,000
28
Now That You Are Home…
POST COMBAT ISSUES Transition – combat stress PTSD Anger Depression Anxiety Self-medication with substances such as
alcohol, medications and illegal drugs
29
Symptoms/Behaviors
Symptoms can lead to behaviors such as: Inability to concentrate at work/jobs Marital problems, domestic abuse, child
abuse Substance abuse Legal problems (DUI, tickets, etc.) Inability to sleep Reckless driving Civil disturbances (bar fights, etc.) Apathy, inability to keep appointments
30
Symptoms/Behaviors
Multiple deployments equals more depression, PTSD, alcohol use, etc.
Army Reserve/National Guard and Marines have seen more combat in the current conflicts(OIF/OEF)* and have more behavioral health issues
*Operation Iraqi Freedom/Operation Enduring Freedom (Afghanistan)
31
What’s the Problem?
In 2007, 300,000 vets self-disclosed moderate levels of depression and anxiety at the 90-day PDHRA (post deployment health readiness assessment)
Only 60% of those veterans registered at the Veterans Administration
(PDHRA started in 2005. There are no stats on previous combat veterans)
32
Final Outcome
Broken marriages Job loss Incarceration Homelessness Repeated hospitalizations Reliance on county/state/federal social-
support programs Suicide Accidental death or severe medical issues
33
Final Outcome
Veterans lose
Families lose
Society loses
34
Proposed Veterans’ Plan for BHS: Primary Premise The Veterans Administration healthcare
system is “priority positioned” to provide superior mental health outcomes for veterans to seek and complete treatment
Orange County should not be the primary provider of mental health care to the American veteran
35
Core Issues: Many Veterans do not seek services
for behavioral health issues
Many Veterans will not seek help at the VA
Veterans will show up in their community for symptoms related to their combat issues
Increasing number of veterans are involved in the legal system (domestic violence, drug related charges, etc.)
36
Do You Knowthe Way to the VA?Why don’t vets seek care at the VA? Not eligible Don’t trust the VA or government Transportation issues Co-pays and wait times Unaware of benefits and VA capabilities Don’t know how to access Privacy concerns
37
Barriers to SeekingBehavioral Health Care Warrior mentality
Stigma
Lack of insight (symptoms recognition vs. cognitive dysfunction from traumatic brain injury – TBI)
Lack of eligibility or lack of knowledge about benefits
Military career concerns
38
Million Dollar Question
How to get the Veterans to intersect with Behavioral Health Care Provider?
And, how to overcome barriers for the Veteran to receive definitive mental health care preferably at the VA?
39
Recommendation: Conceptual Framework For Veterans Behavioral Health Care VA has skilled, up-to-date, trained behavioral
health clinicians and integrated veterans’ programs
There are many effective community groups that wish to positively intervene to assist veterans
The OC Community wants veterans and families to be healthy
Case finding and overcoming reluctance to seek care at the VA is a primary barrier to positive outcomes
40
Conceptual Framework ForVeterans Behavioral Health Care OC should primarily assist with case finding and
providing a
‘warm’ hand-off to the VA OC should provide follow-up to insure that veterans
continue to seek treatment at the VA Some situations may require OC intervention for short
term ‘bridging’ care OC will treat veterans who request treatment by OC BHS
rather than VA. Some veterans may complete entire course of care with OC BHS.
We will respect our client’s choice of provider There are many effective community groups that
wish to positively intervene to assist veterans
41
Treatment Modality for Combat Stress and PTSD There is recent evidence from many sources
that early treatment results in better outcomes.
Ongoing research supports first line treatments such as:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy
Exposure Therapy
Pharmacological Therapy
42
Cornerstones
All approaches should include:
Cultural competency
Evidence-based practices
Performance outcome measurements
Consumer involvement
Recovery philosophy
Integration of co-occurring treatment
43
Successful Outcomes
Keys to successful outcomes are:
Early recognition and intervention
Evidence-based practice
Multi-agency, community and family collaboration
44
Orange County: Veterans/Behavioral Health Services Plan
45
Early Interceptors
Train early interceptors
Early interceptors are contacts at places where the veteran or family may first present with problems/issues
46

Healthcare: Primary providers Emergency rooms/urgent care Emergency behavioral health teams
Colleges: Classroom instructors Guidance counselors Student health Student Veteran Associations
47
Early Interceptors

50
Veterans in LA/Orange Counties are recognized by DOD as the most underserved in the nation
One of the largest veteran communities and largest geographic area
OC does not have an active military post
OC does not have a VA Medical Center
OC VA & MilitaryCollaboration
51
OC has vested interest in positive treatment outcomes for OC vets
Positive outcomes require active collaboration between VA, military and OC
Collaboration
52
Work with VA, military bases (Los Alamitos, Camp Pendleton) to find solutions to veteran’s behavioral health problems and to support their families
Avoid duplication of effort
Evaluate performance
outcomes and alter programs as needed
Collaboration
53
Many veterans distrust government and VA
Many vets are concerned about privacy and military career
Best clinical treatment will be provided at VA, as their clinicians are more familiar with treatment and are provided up-to-date research
