2. The Bottom Line
• Co-morbidity of behavioral disorders and general medical conditions is highly
prevalent (especially in Medicaid populations
• This pattern of co-morbidity is especially concentrated among those who have
high costs and frequent hospital admissions
• These individuals die at younger ages
• Impacts and solutions go both ways across the GM/BH divide
– Primary Care patients needing Mental Health care, and
Mental Health patients needing Primary /Specialty Medical Care
• Evidence-based models for integrating care have been well documented
• These models have not been widely implemented due to structural barriers and
financial disincentives
• Health Home option provides flexibility and incentives and opportunity

3. BH/GMC Clinical Examples
• 35 year old male with schizophrenia, diabetes, and
tobacco dependence
– Can expect up to 25 year shortened life span,
increased medical costs
• 25 year old HIV+ female IV drug user with PTSD
– Frequent ED visits, non adherence to meds,
increased medical costs
• 60 year old female with diabetes, CHF and
depression
– Frequent (re-) hospitalizations, poor self management
and adherence, early candidate for LTC

4. Currently, Poor Quality and Care
Coordination for All Populations
• Patients primarily in contact with the general
medical sector with co-morbid BH conditions
(e.g., depression)
– Not treated or treated as acute problems with little follow-up
• Patients with severe and persistent BH
conditions (e.g., schizophrenia) and treated in
BH specialty settings
– Poor self-care, medications worsen general medical conditions
– Limited provider capacity and incentives for
• Accessing treatment of co-morbid medical conditions
• Preventive and wellness care
• Medical and BH providers operate in silos

10. Crossing the Quality Chasm
Quality problems occur typically
not because of failure of goodwill,
knowledge, effort or resources
devoted to health care, but
because of fundamental
shortcomings in the ways care is
organized
The American health care delivery
system is in need of fundamental
change. The current care
systems cannot do the job.
Trying harder will not work:
Changing systems of care will!

12. Overarching Recommendation 1
The aims, rules, and strategies for redesign
set forth in Crossing the Quality Chasm
should be applied throughout M/SU health
care on a day-to-day operational basis but
tailored to reflect the characteristics that
distinguish care for these problems and
illnesses from general health care.

13. Overarching Recommendation 2
Health care for general, mental, and
substance-use problems and illnesses must
be delivered with an understanding of the
inherent interactions between the mind /
brain and the rest of the body.

22. For Whom?
• Two Populations
– General/Primary Care with mild to moderate
BH conditions (e.g., anxiety, depression)
– Severe/Persistent Behavioral Health
Conditions (e.g., schizophrenia, drug
dependence)
• Two Strategies
– Mainstream
– Separate BH Specialty Adaptations
HHS Health Homes Webinar
February 25, 2011 22
23. Two Overall Strategies
Strategy 1: Primary Care Health Home
For patients primarily in contact with
general medical sector
(and mild to moderate BH conditions):
• Organize around primary care/general medical setting
• Apply evidence-based clinical and organizational
strategies
• Design specific policy tools to hold medical providers
accountable for meeting the BH care needs of patients.

24. Two Overall Strategies
Strategy 2: BH Health Home
For patients with severe and persistent BH
conditions and primarily treated in a BH
specialty setting:
• Organize health home around BH setting
• Apply evidence-based clinical and organizational
strategies
• Develop specific policy tools to assure access to high-
quality primary care and non-BH specialty care

25. Evidence-Based
Integration Mechanisms
• Clinical integration of services, or
• Co-location of services
• Formal agreements with external providers
• Shared patient records
• Screening and longitudinal monitoring
• Clinical registry
• Care management
• Evidence-based guideline support/training
• Measurement-based / Stepped care
• Close collaboration with other specialty, substance abuse
care and human services providers

26. Policy Strategies
• Medical/ Health Home Models
• Accreditation
– New NCQA criteria expand BH expectations
• Quality Incentives
• Mutual Accountability Across BH and GM Providers
– For Quality and Costs
• Payment Related to Complexity
– Tiers/Risk Adjustment
• Support Improved Communication
– EMRs, Health Information Exchanges (with protections)
• Training and Technical Assistance
• Flexibility
