(ROBERT WOOD JOHNSON COMMUNITY HEALTH RANKINGS) Mental health high-cost patients were younger, lived in poorer neighborhoods, and had different health care utilization patterns, compared to other high-cost patients, ie., those with complex chronic disease or cancer. (HEALTH AFFAIRS, JAN 2016) The simple question, Do you (ever) have difficulty making ends meet at the end of the month?, has a sensitivity of 98% and specificity of 60% in predicting poverty. (AAFP) As the advanced medical home begins to address these complex situations it requires: Practice teams which utilize registries which capture and address these at a population level Partnerships with our medical neighborhoods Processes within our practices to optimize treatment protocols and community linkages MiPCT has created a toolkit to support POs and practices to be successful in addressing SDOH and BHI.

Presenter: Linda J Keilman, DNP, GNP-BC, Assistant Professor, Michigan State University To register for these webinars: www.micmrc.org/webinars Stories of Your Care Management Success Jennifer Train, St. John Providence Partners in Care Northpointe Pediatrics was looking to ensure adequate and appropriate follow up for newly diagnosed ADD/ADHD patients. This was due in part to HEDIS measures requiring that patients be seen within 30 days after index prescription start date and then again two more times in the following 270 day period. Initially there was difficulty establishing a way to identify those who were newly diagnosed. One idea that the office tried was to make a master list of patients with the diagnosis of ADD or ADHD then compare a new registry search on a monthly basis for new names. This proved time consuming and inaccurate. The office tried a few different ways to keep an accurate account of newly diagnosed patients but nothing proved very helpful or time effective. Initial trials were not successful. Subsequently, our physician had an idea, which we implemented: To help ensure that we were tracking and following up with our newly diagnosed ADD/ADHD patients, physician champion, Dr. Engel, created an internal ICD 10 code. Providers in the office would use this code along with the pertinent ICD 10 code for ADD/ADHD on the index prescription start date. This new code allowed the gaps in care coordinator along with the care manager to utilize the electronic registry to track patients who were newly diagnosed with ADD or ADHD. Once the list was generated it was easy to ensure adequate follow up was taking place. In addition the care manager and gaps in care coordinator now had the ability to check on those patients monthly who had been started on medication in the past nine months and ensure that they were being followed closely and met the HEDIS measure. medications and those not progressing well on their new medication regimen. As a result of this, our gaps in care coordinator created a spreadsheet of newly diagnosed patients designated by month. Those patients are then checked to ensure they have follow up appointments scheduled. If patients do not have a current appointment scheduled or have expressed concerns regarding medication, side effects, or other areas of concern she then forwards that information to the care management team or the provider for further follow up as needed.
