indicate that GPPH would best accommodate the older adult transfers and future admissions

Ability to create fully enclosed living and treatment space in two shared GPPH units with properly trained staff

15

Closure Process - Assessment

All hospitalized consumers have continuing clinical assessments of their discharge readiness and service needs.

Assessments include the Individual Needs for Discharge Assessment (INDA) and the Housing Preference Interview (HPI)

Families are included in the assessment and planning whenever possible

Division Level Review is in place to further evaluate the appropriateness of clinical assessments and discharge plan

Hagedorn will use the regulated appeal process for any consumer who refuses or challenges a transfer or community placement

16

Closure Process – Discharges & Transfers to Other State Hospitals

Discharging consumers into the least restrictive, clinically appropriate setting remains the priority.

Each Hagedorn consumer will have a Discharge/Transfer Plan completed before leaving Hagedorn. The plan will outline the consumers preferences and needs as identified by the consumer, guardian or family member. The plan will follow the consumer to the receiving facility and/or services  to make the transition as smooth and therapeutic as possible. For consumer assessments which indicate a need for

hospitalization after 6/30/12, consumers will be transferred to the appropriate hospital

Transfers will be conducted in a planned manner with involvement from the consumer and family during planning process. DMHAS has begun transfers on a limited basis.

Comprehensive Waiver Behavioral Health Overview What is the Vision?

Improved access Improved quality Greater value Sustainability

22

Proposed Behavioral Health System Vision

The design of the State’s Medicaid program to manage Behavioral Health (BH) is grounded in the following vision: To improve access to appropriate physical and BH

care services for individuals with mental illness or substance use disorders

To better manage medical costs for individuals with co-occurring BH-PH conditions

To improve health outcomes and consumer satisfaction

23

Why?

The DMHAS merger: Integration of mental health and addictions

Integration of behavioral health and primary care Preparation for Health Care Reform under ACA

(January 2014) To sustain the Medicaid program through reform

initiatives

24

Integration of Mental Health and Addictions

The merger of DMHS and DAS into DMHAS

lays the foundation to build a combined

system that provides best practice treatments

for individuals with co-occurring mental illness

and substance use disorders

25

Integration of Behavioral Health and Primary Care (PC) Currently, BH care for adult consumers and children’s services

under Medicaid fee-for-service (FFS) is fragmented and largely unmanaged, with an over-reliance on institutional rather than community-based care

These same individuals receive their medical care through one of four Managed Care Organizations (MCOs), with very limited or no formal protocols for coordination between the medical and BH delivery systems

For Medicaid’s highest cost adult beneficiaries - approximately two-thirds have a mental illness and one-fifth have both a mental illness and substance use disorder - the opportunity for improved clinical outcomes through improved BH-PH coordination is welcome

26

What is the Plan?

Systems Managed Behavioral Health Organization (MBHO) MCO/MBHO coordination Braided funding Opportunities for rate rebalancing Evolution from no risk model, to risk model Children, SAI and consumers with developmental

disabilities

27

What is the Clinical Service Model?

Clinical eligibility Uniform screening and assessment The SAMHSA 4-quadrant model ASO/MBHO clinical role Behavioral health homes Accountable care organizations New Medicaid covered services Additional special initiatives

28

In Sum-What is the Good News?

Integrated Care SA/MH and BH/PH Opportunities for rate rebalancing Increased FFP Medicaid service expansion for SA services Potential reinvestment of savings Potential for Medicaid reimbursement under the risk

arrangement to support first 30 days of residential community-based services in lieu of acute care

Better access, enhanced quality, and improved outcomes

29

What are the Greatest Challenges?

Communication Consumer involvement to ensure ease of access IT infrastructure Moving from non-risk to risk over time Managing eligibility and enrollment Coordination between MBHO and HMO Defining outcome measures to gauge performance
