C. New NASHP Publication - A Tale of Two Systems: A look at State Efforts to Integrate Primary Care and Behavioral Health in Safety Net Settings
Integrated behavioral health and primary care occurs when behavioral health specialty and general medical care providers work collaboratively to address patients' physical and behavioral health needs. Federal community health centers are uniquely positioned to partner with the community mental health system to deliver integrated care, and to address behavioral health issues as part of a comprehensive medical home. This report focuses on how Tennessee and Missouri - two states that NASHP works with under our National Cooperative Agreement with the federal Health Resources and Services Administration, Bureau of Primary Health Care (HRSA/BPHC) - have approached integration and provides lessons for states seeking to integrate health care delivery systems.

D. The Commonwealth Fund - A Nationwide Survey of Patient-Centered Medical Home Demonstration Projects
Synopsis
The medical home has been promoted by many experts as a model for delivering comprehensive, coordinated, patient-centered health care. In interviews with leaders at 26 demonstration sites around the country where the patient-centered medical home is being pilot-tested about payment structure, practice transformation, practice requirements, and other characteristics, researchers found substantial diversity in terms of size, scope, and design. Most of the projects use a payment approach that combines fee-for-service payments with a fixed, monthly case management fee and bonuses based on clinical performance. Future research should focus on evaluation plans, as interest in the model grows.

When practices did have evaluation plans, they often had not yet selected specific measures or other assessment tools.
Addressing the Problem
The substantial diversity in the size, scope, design, and concept of the demonstration pilots "suggests an urgent need to incorporate evaluation in programs' designs," the authors conclude. Evaluations are needed to determine the impact on costs and utilization; quality of care as measured by patient experiences, processes, and outcomes; and physician and staff experiences. Yet, less than half of the programs had well-specified evaluation plans, and many had neither secured funding to support a robust evaluation nor adequately identified control groups with which to compare the demonstrations. Because of the upfront investments required, adoption of the medical home approach may not necessarily lead to immediate direct cost savings, the authors say. But wider use of this rational model for delivering health care is likely to help decrease the rate of cost growth in the future and promote better patient experience and quality outcomes.

E. Health Affairs May Publication: Reinventing Primary Care
The May 2010 issue of Health Affairs examines what it will take to reinvent primary care in the United States. Operational, payment, regulatory, legal, and educational reforms will be necessary to improve care and achieve savings —and to prepare for the influx of millions of Americans who will be insured for the first time as of 2014.
The primary care system in the United States is in crisis. Sixty-five million Americans live in primary care shortage areas. Partly due to a considerable pay gap between primary care physicians and other practitioners, U.S. medical school graduates are increasingly avoiding careers in primary care, and a major shortage of all types of primary care providers looms. A system that is already strained will face an influx of patients in 2014, when 32 million Americans will have health insurance for the first time. A larger primary care workforce is essential, but new strategies and models are also needed to address the country’s imminent primary care access problem.
Restructuring primary care practice teams can help meet this challenge. For example, barriers to practice that face nurse practitioners and physician assistants in many states must be removed. Updating and modernizing the primary care system is also essential. For example, implementation of the medical home model—a delivery model that is patient-centered and focuses on integrated care—has been proven to improve quality and reduce costs.
The full issue is now available for purchase. Please click here to download.
There was a briefing held on May 4th in Washington, D.C. for the release of this issue. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius gave the keynote address on how the recently passed health care law can be implemented to improve primary care.

G. The Group Health Medical Home At Year Two: Cost Savings, Higher Patient Satisfaction, And Less Burnout For Providers
As the patient-centered medical home model emerges as a key vehicle to improve the quality of health care and to control costs, the experience of Seattle-based Group Health Cooperative with its medical home pilot takes on added importance. This paper examines the effects of the medical home prototype on patients’ experiences, quality, burnout of clinicians, and total costs at twenty-one to twenty-four months after implementation. The results show improvements in patients’ experiences, quality, and clinician burnout through two years. Compared to other Group Health clinics, patients in the medical home experienced 29 percent fewer emergency visits and 6 percent fewer hospitalizations. The Group estimates total savings of $10.3 per patient per month twenty-one months into the pilot. They also offer an operational blueprint and policy recommendations for adoption in other health care settings. To read the full article, please click here.

I. HANYS’ Webconference to Discuss Medical Home Model - June 11th, 2010
HANYS and Primary Care Development Corporation (PCDC) will host a Webconference Friday, June 11, from 10 to 11:30 a.m., on Understanding and Undertaking Medical Home Recognition.
State and federal health care reform laws are expected to reward providers who meet standards for access and performance in primary care. Indeed, New York’s Medicaid program has already chosen to provide enhanced reimbursement to providers that achieve National Committee for Quality Assurance Physician Practice Connections®--Patient-Centered Medical Home (PPC-PCMH™) standards. Hospitals will find it increasingly important to understand the Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) model and its impact on the delivery system. Experts from PCDC will focus on the PCMH model as it relates to hospital executives and decision-makers. Participants are encouraged to review PCDC’s latest publication, Obtaining Patient-Centered Medical Home Recognition: a How-to Manual, before the session.
The speakers for the program are Regina Neal, M.P.H.-M.S., Director of Practice Redesign, and Senior Program Managers Cari Reiner, M.P.A., and Vanessa Rudin, M.S., M.A., who are members of PCDC’s practice redesign team. Together, they have worked with hundreds of teams in New York and throughout the United States to reduce patient wait times, advance access to appointments, and establish patient-centered facilities and systems of care.

L. New Learning Collaborative to Prepare Clinicians for Better Chronic Care
HealthSciences Institute will sponsor a new learning collaborative for health care professionals, teams and organizations who serve individuals at risk of, or affected by, chronic diseases in employer, health plan, medical home and other provider settings.
The collaborative will offer free, noncommercial webinars on topics, solutions and case studies in chronic disease prevention, management and care improvement. Each webinar will include a brief presentation, ask-the-expert segment, and targeted discussion on the application of new learning to participant job roles. Discussion will continue online between sessions.
The collaborative is a component of a new HealthSciences Institute-sponsored Partners in Improvement initiative that will offer free online chronic care improvement resources and tools to health care organizations and professionals.
“Nurses and other professionals who serve at-risk individuals—in settings from health plans to medical homes—want affordable, noncommercial learning activities that prepare them for the real-world challenges of chronic care. They also understand that some of the most valuable lessons are learned through collaboration and problem-solving with peers,” cites Blake Andersen, PhD, President and CEO of HealthSciences Institute.
Learning Collaborative Event Schedule
- 6/4/2010 Community-Based Strategies for Primary Prevention of Diabetes with David Marrero, Ph.D., Professor of Medicine, Indiana School of Medicine.
HealthSciences Institute will host its sixth monthly Population Health Improvement Learning Collaborative meeting on Friday June 4th from 10:30 to 11:30 AM (CT) featuring a free webinar and discussion with Dr. David Marrero, Professor and Director of the Translation Research Center at Indiana University School of Medicine and proponent of community-based approaches to prevent diabetes. In April, United Health Group announced they would reimburse YMCAs offering the Diabetes Prevention Program.
Dr. Marrero was a leader in the landmark Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) and the TRIAD study evaluating diabetes care delivery strategies in managed care settings. The National Institutes of Health (NIH)-funded DPP trial studied more than 3,000 adults at high risk for developing type 2 diabetes due to elevated blood sugar levels and being overweight and found that the DPP lifestyle intervention reduced the risk of diabetes by 58 percent through modest weight loss (five to seven percent of body weight) and 30 minutes of exercise, 5 times weekly.
Dr. Marrero’s work, recently featured in the Wall Street Journal, shows that it may be possible to develop a nationally scalable community-based model to support evidence-based, cost-effective primary prevention in small and large communities across the US. He recently adapted the DPP model for use in community YMCAs, addressing key implementation barriers while significantly reducing the cost of the original DPP program delivery from $1,476 to $205 per participant. The YMCA program features a group-based version of the DPP lifestyle intervention led by YMCA staff and has the potential to reach over 46 million people in the United States who live near a YMCA.
According to Dr. Blake Andersen, President and CEO of HealthSciences Institute, “Recent studies show that while 25% of U.S. adults are pre-diabetic, only 4 percent of cases are diagnosed by physicians. Further, only 42 percent of diagnosed pre-diabetics attempt the key lifestyle changes that prevent or delay diabetes or diabetes-related complications. Community-based programs such as this are essential to combating one of our biggest threats to health and sustainable health care spending. At the same time, we need to routinely apply the evidence-based health coaching interventions that best impact participant engagement, lifestyle change and treatment adherence in pre-diabetes programs.”

M. Medical Home Port Concept Unveiled at NMCP, Boone Clinic
Naval Medical Center Portsmouth (NNS) -- The Navy's new Medical Home Port concept has come to life in the Family Medicine Clinic at Naval Medical Center Portsmouth and in the Pediatrics Clinic at Adm. Joel T. Boone Branch Health Clinic at Joint Expeditionary Base-Little Creek.
After ribbon cuttings held at NMCP and BHC Boone May 3 and 4, respectively, the model for this new health care approach is now a reality.
Navy Medicine introduced the concept last fall, and the two clinics are the first in Hampton Roads to implement it. Medical Home Port is derived from Medical Home, a new and more effective approach that is being embraced in the civilian medical community. The concept centers on a health team that collaborates to provide the best health care for the patient.
Next up for implementation of the Medical Home Port concept is clinics at Branch Health Clinic Oceana at Naval Air Station Oceana and Branch Health Clinic Sewells Point at Naval Station Norfolk. Eventually, Navy Medicine plans to incorporate this concept into its entire operation. To learn more, please click here.
