Who we are Maimonides Medical Center is a tertiary care/safety net hospital in Southwest Brooklyn Maimonides has strategically focused some of its efforts on population health Maimonides is the lead agency for two collaborative entities: The Brooklyn Health Home Community Care of Brooklyn
Prevention Opportunity that led to the Innovation Highly fragmented health care in Brooklyn Disproportionate effects on individuals with Serious Mental Illness (SMI) Increased morbidity and mortality with SMI pop Higher cost and utilization associated with SMI population attributable to physical health issues Develop care management model for chronic, complex disorders, using SMI as test case
Key elements of the Innovation Reduced utilization in SMI population Improved coordination of care and management of transitions of care Model of care successful in closed systems. Brooklyn is not a closed system SMI patients with highly complex needs that require collaboration across systems Multi-stakeholders partnership
Description of the Innovation Use the Health Home model in NYS as a vehicle for coordinating care for SMI pop Key components: The Virtual Care Team Implementation through multi-stakeholder engagement, with executive and clinical committee structures to develop shared standards of care CMMI HCIA: July 2012 June 2015
BHH Goals Identify and address full range of behavioral, medical and social problems affecting chronically ill patients Foster collaboration and timely exchange of patient information among involved providers Drive measurable improvements in patient outcomes, including reduced hospital use, improved engagement and satisfaction

Milestones and Results to date CMMI HCIA completed June 2015. 7500 individuals with SMI enrolled in BHH and CBC HH Reduced hospitalization (~30%) Reduced ER use (~50%) Reduced costs of care (~$50 million) Improved transitions of care
Lessons Learned Little was easy Multi-stakeholder committees highly effective Much was challenging Provider engagement Patient engagement Early emphasis on enrollment, rather than developing effective care teams
Implication / Next Steps If this can be done with SMI, then it is very doable for other chronic, complex conditions Collaboration across systems essential to health care success Co-location is not necessary HARP Pilot: Healthfirst Next step: DSRIP
