Cowlitz Family Health Center Behavioral Health Integration
Cowlitz Comprehensive Health Care Unique partnership of 3 nonprofits to provide integrated care – together we served over 50% of the low income population in Cowlitz County Cowlitz Family Health Center – primary care outpatient Columbia Wellness – specialty mental health outpatient Drug Abuse Prevention Center – residential and outpatient substance use disorder treatment
Goals Improved access to care; easier to navigate Reduction of stigma associated with mental illness Better communication More focused and streamlined referral process Improved matching of service to expertise More efficient use of limited resources Provider education (learning from each other) Insights into clinical, structural, funding models Improved customer service and job satisfaction improve medical outcomes, reduce health disparities, and lead to medical cost offset
What Worked Well Standardized screening tools used in primary care Behavioral Health Consultants and Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners added to the primary care team Patients able to access Psych ARNP at primary care clinic Referral and warm hand-off work flow between organizations improved Patient services and satisfaction improved Provider and team satisfaction improved
What didn’t Work as Well More patients screened positive for behavioral health conditions but not ready to accept treatment Patients were still lost between agencies Patients dropped out of treatment Integration of substance use disorder services Original goal of 3-way merger of the organizations never occurred

Implementation Plan Due October 1, 2018 Key deliverable for CPAA Requires specific implementation information As an ACH, we have to submit a project implementation plan that is due October 1st. This is a key deliverable for CPAA to receive funding for year 2 of the Transformation, and will contain more specific information about the project work be implemented in the region. The HCA needs to understand our milestones, individual work steps, outcomes, how we are going to work with partnering providers, and our timeline for completing action steps and milestones. We are actively working on this right now. There is a detailed workbook and narrative portion to the plan. It will take a substantial amount of time to get right.
Key Indicators to Measure Implementation What are the key indicators used by the ACH to measure implementation progress by partnering providers? Patient-centered team care Population-based care Measurement-based treatment to target Evidence-based care Accountable care Review Measures Handout One of element of our plan is understanding key indicators to measure project implementation. Over the next few years, we have to measure progress for organizations either integrating primary care or behavioral health. The way I’ve been thinking about measuring progress is relying more on these 5 core principles of collaborative care, rather than a specific model. So, under each of these principles is a number of qualitative and quantitative indicators that I want us to review and consider.
Psychiatric Consultation Supports collaborative care team through regular consultation Advises prescribing medical provider Caseload review (registry) Treatment adjustments Consultation notes Questions How can he access their registry for consultation and would he also access the partnering provider’s EHR? Might take some time to set up. MAT and OUD potential Looking for around 15 hours per week of psych consultation in CoCM, starting in Nov-Dec Currently in community-based integrated care fellowship at UW Only interested in consultation at this point Preference would be to work in CoCM involving MAT Next steps Invite to a work group Develop proposed cost of contracting Is anyone interested in this?
