NRI Origins (1980s) NIMH expressed concern about funding an advocacy organization (NASMHPD) for some of the research and data efforts and encouraged NASMHPD to explore setting up a separate organization to conduct policy neutral analyses and data collection about state systems NASMHPD Convened a group of SMHA Commissioners that discussed roles and functions of a separate organization to do State MH related research and data 3

NRI Origins 1987 NASMHPD Commissioners incorporated NRI as a separate 501-c-3 not-for-profit organization to conduct research and data collection focused on SMHA systems 4

NRI Corporate Profile Separate 501c3 non-profit Providing Objective Data & Analysis Extensive database of state profiles, revenues, expenditures, performance benchmarks, etc. Services to States Research Projects & Programs 5

Next Steps for SMHAs June: Please make sure your SMHA s Information (Profiles and Revenues/Expenditures) gets submitted July/August: Review the Draft 2-page Summaries of your SMHA s information is reviewed for completeness and reflects how you want your SMHA to be seen by the public August/September: Review Draft Final Report to assure ensure it reflects your SMHA properly 51

A State Mental Health Agency Commissioners Perspective on State Profiles Scot L. Adams, Ph.D. Director, Division of Behavioral Health Nebraska 52

How States can use Profiles Profiles can provide information useful to SMHAs in budget preparation and hearing Puts your state s spending for MH in context of similar or neighboring States Identify other States with a Policy or Service of interest Learn from other states and avoid reinventing the wheel Strategic Planning putting state in context of regional or national trends 53

How Advocates use Profiles NAMI, MH America, and Consumer Groups use Profiles to assess SMHA systems SMHA Expenditure Consumers Served Provision of EBP Services Hospital beds and Policies 54

How Others use Profiles State Legislators and Governor s Budget Offices often ask about SMHA Expenditures and other information from State Profiles News Media local and national newspapers, radio, and television news find and use Profiles information about Expenditures and Services 55

Next Steps for Commissioners Because Profiles information get used by so many others, it is important for SMHA Commissioners to ensure that: Their information is complete and accurate Their information reflects their public Mental Health System the way the Commissioner wants it depicted 56

When Draft Profiles Reports are sent back this summer for review Make sure that they or a senior deputy takes the time to review and make sure it reflects their system the way they want depicted 3 Products to Review this Summer 1. Their State s 2-page summary 2. Their State s Revenues and Expenditures Summary 3. The Draft 2013 Funding and Characteristics of State Mental Health and Substance Abuse Agencies 57

CMS Psychiatric Hospital Reporting Requirements

CMS Requirement FY 2013 Reporting IPFQR inpatient psychiatric facilities quality reporting program. This is the new program specific to psychiatric hospitals and psychiatric units in general hospitals. IPFQR is part of the Affordable Care Act Authorized to deduct 2% from annual payment rate to hospitals that fail to report Becomes effective for the FFY2014 payment Performance measure aggregate data will be posted for the public on the CMS website Hospital Compare 62

FY 2013 Reporting, continued HBIPS measures 2 7 (restraint, seclusion, antipsychotic medication use, continuing care plan) October 2012 thru March 2013 patient discharges and events Transmission occurs July 1 Aug 15, 2013 NRI will transmit data for our hospitals 63

Proposed Rule: FY 2015 reporting January December 2014 data collection HBIPS 2-7 Three new measures: SUB1, SUB4, FUH Patient Experience of Care July August 2015 data transmission to CMS FY2016 Payment Update 64

FY2015 reporting, continued SUB 1: Alcohol Use Screening: The number of patients age 18 years or older who were screened for alcohol use using a validated screening questionnaire for unhealthy alcohol use. SUB- 4: Alcohol and Drug Use: Assessing Status After Discharge: The number of discharged patients who are contacted between 7 and 30 days following discharge and follow-up information is collected regarding alcohol or drug use status. This measure pertains to discharged patients age 18 or older who screened positively for unhealthy alcohol use or who received a diagnosis of alcohol or drug use disorder during their hospital stay. Sampling IS permitted. Will include specialty Alcohol and Drug Treatment Only units. Measure developer: The Joint Commission 65

FY2015 reporting, continued FUH: Follow-Up After Hospitalization for Mental Illness: This measure assesses the percentage of discharged patients age 6 years or older who had an outpatient visit, an intensive outpatient encounter, or a partial hospitalization with a mental health practitioner. Two rates are reported for this measure: (1) The percentage of patients receiving outpatient follow-up within 30 days of discharge (2) The percentage of patients receiving outpatient follow-up within 7 days of discharge. Sampling IS NOT permitted. Measure Developer: NCQA 66

Proposed Rule: Patient Experience IPFs are requested to provide information on whether or not they measure patient experience of care, and if so, what survey they use Provision of this information has no payment implication CMS intends to make this provision mandatory in the future and will use this information to pursue the adoption of a standardized measure of patient experience of care for the IPFQR Program 67

Proposed Rule: Recommendations for future measures CMS is looking for recommendations in the following areas: 1. Treatment and quality of care of geriatric patients and other adults, adolescents, and children 2. Quality of prescribing for antipsychotics and antidepressants 3. Readmissions 4. Access to care 5. Screening for suicide and violence 6. Screening and treatment for non-psychiatric comorbid conditions 68

Proposed Rule: Commenting NRI s summary statement: NRI does not support adding three new measures to the required quality reporting for FY2015 (FY2016 payment update). Our major concerns with the proposed measures to be added for FY2015 reporting are the following: 1) high burden for data collection, 2) incompatibility with existing quality measures used by psychiatric hospitals, and 3) measures outside the scope of inpatient provider responsibility. Copy of the comment was sent to facilities last week Contact Lucille.Schacht@nri-inc.org for a copy 69

Proposed Rule: Commenting Comment period closes on June 25, 2013. We encourage you to submit your comments to CMS by June 25, 2013 at (http://www.regulations.gov/#!docketdetail;d= CMS-2013-0084) 70
