3

Can more than one person enter data at the same time in the HH CMART tool if the tool is placed on a shared drive?

The HH CMART tool can reside on a shared drive, and two or more people can enter the data at the same time on different individuals. But two people cannot enter data for the same individual at the same time.

4

Does the FACT GP / HH Functional assessment scores need to be submitted from ‘converting to health home’ legacy members and all other Health Home members enrolled in 2012? Yes, the FACT GP/ HH Functional assessment scores are

required to be submitted for all converting TCM clients and other active members of HH for 2012

How do I submit the 2012 Fact GP/ HH Functional assessment scores? The Health Home and the Care Manager / downstream provider

should develop a process using the excel spreadsheet DOH sent out. See 3/13/2013 webinar, slides 4, 6 ,& 7 for more information or contact HH2011@health.state.ny.us for a copy

5

Can care manager / downstream provider share data from the Fact GP/ HH Functional Assessments with a Health Home when the clients are ‘case closed’ and/ or a withdrawal of consent was signed?

Retraction of Exception on Slide 9 from 3/6/13 Webinar: After consultation with DOH legal (DLA), there is no longer an exception to sharing FACT GP/ HH Functional AssessmentData. Signed withdrawal of consent does not prohibit the Care Manager (CM) from sharing data with Health Home(HH)

Upcoming HH webinar for Q’s on sharing data & terms of the DEA & Subcontractor packet

CM downstream provider assessment data can be shared with the HH as long as there is an agreement (Subcontractor packet ) between the HH and CM downstream provider.

If 2012 HH members do not have completed initial FACT-GP / HH Functional assessments You do not need to report using the excel spreadsheet or the CMART

tool for the TCM legacy clients and other HH members served during 2012

What does the care manager or HH do if I the 2012 FACT GP/ HH Functional Assessments were not done? Go Forward: Perform initial FACT GP/ HH Functional

assessments now on any converting TCM member or Health Home member currently receiving services and enter it into the HH CMART tool

Submit assessment scores with all other HH CMART data to the Health Home for first two quarters of 2013 – (see report schedule for the August 5th submission date)

How do I submit the first two quarters of 2013 HH CMART data, due August 5th, 2013 ? CM & HH must discuss / plan how to collect & then export the data to the HHCollection / Export suggestions:

CM should use a separate HH CMART tool Or use a separate HH CMART export template spreadsheetOr whatever method HH & CM agreed upon Once compiled, CM sends it to HH’s you have an agreement with so the HH can report it to NYS DOH

8

Care Management Providers: Collect the data needed for HH-CMART submission, (either in the HH-CMART tool or in the excel template file) using the specifications and response options for each element.◦ For any care management provider managing members for more than one Health Home,

multiple HH-CMART files can be used. Make a copy of the HH CMART Tool to use for each of the health homes separately prior to entering any data. You should not use the same health home CMART Tool for entering more than one health home’s data.

◦ At the end of the reporting period, the care management provider securely transmits a file to each Health Home, containing the data for that Health Homes members.

Health Homes: gather the HH – CMART data from all care management providers for their members and aggregate all of the data files into ONE Health Home file. The Health Home’s single file is imported into one HH-CMART tool for that reporting period.

A single HH-CMART export file ( compilation of all CM providers/ partners) for the Health Home is sent to DOH by the Health Home via the Health Commerce System.

Care managers will provide needed

information about services provided to

the Health Home

Health Home collects data from all care management staff involved with its

members

Health Home enters or imports data for all

members assigned to the Health Home into the tool and submits HH-CMART to DOH

Care Manager Collects Health Home compiles Health Home submits to SDOH

27 –CaseReopened: Indicates whether a member is located and reengaged in care management after case closure.

◦ This element should indicate ‘REOPENED’ if there is a subsequent engagement of care management initiated during the reporting period, regardless of program or reason for care management. ◦The reopening of the case will be documented in the CaseReopened field in the appropriate quarter reporting period when the reopening occurs.

Distinguishing when care management is reopened –◦ If care management services for the member has been closed (due to inactivity or other reason) and, for example, the health home policy for case reopened is to conduct a new assessment and start a new care plan during the reporting period, then this should be considered a “reopening” of care management and CaseReopened should be ’REOPENED’. Note :Care managers should follow the Health Home policy for case reopened guidelines and determination.

◦ If care management has been closed and the subsequent reopening of care management does not start during the reporting period, the case should be considered closed and CaseReopened should be “NOT REOPENED” for that reporting period.

◦If care management has been inactive, and the member is located and engaged and the same assessment and care plan are used, then these activities should be considered part of the initial care management segment. In this situation, CaseReopened would be blank because the care management was never closed.

28 – DateReopened: Date when a member is reengaged in care management after case closure.◦ The DateReopened will be determined through the Patient Tracking System. The date of the case reopened will be after a segment that is the first ‘Begin Date’ following an ‘End Date’ in the Patient Tracking System.

Identifying, categorizing and counting care management interventions (Elements 29-34)

◦ Each separate intervention should be counted once for an appropriate category.◦ Only interventions which were conducted should be counted; updates scheduled but not

completed should not be included.◦ The counts of interventions reported for a member should be limited to the reporting period

and should not include interventions from any other reporting periods. Counts are not cumulative from the initiation of care management.

◦ The activities conducted during the reporting period for care management may involve the member and legal representative/family, the health care providers, or other community based services. The interventions should be specific to the individual member’s care or care management needs.

◦ Interventions delivered by all care management staff (care managers and support staff) should be included.

◦ Interventions conducted by Health Home or care management contracted vendors should be counted.

◦ Interventions conducted by providers, other organizations, or health plans should not be counted.

12

Many times interventions will include a multiple focus. Select which category that represents the primary reason for the intervention and include in the count for that category .

Example: a FTF visit includes assessing a new need and during that visit, assistance to make an appointment for the need is provided. Primary reason for the intervention is assessing new need, so intervention is included in CareManage for the reporting period.

Count = 1 for CareManagement

29 – Plan Update: Indicates whether the member’s care plan was reviewed, updated and/or modified during the reporting period.◦ Captures an indicator of whether the member’s care plan was reviewed, updated and
