Alcohol Treatment within Payment by Results for Mental Health Overview and journey to date

PbR Models – so far Historic “Block” Contracts Activity based PbR Outcome based PbR How NHS hospital were funded Historical costs Local NHS ‘family’ & budgets How NHS Acute Trusts funded today Health Resource Groups (HRGs) Tariffs PROMs Transfers risk to providers Experimental Recovery PbR Prisons Work Programme Immigration 2

History of PbR in the NHS PbR introduced into NHS acute sector. A move away from sweeping block contracts towards payment for activity delivered Mental Health started work on PbR – but restricted work to main-stream adult mental health services 2010 – programme began to include alcohol treatment within PbR for Mental Health (most NHS Mental Health Trusts deliver alcohol treatment along with voluntary sector agencies – mixed economy) commissioning of alcohol treatment services will transfer to LAs – PbR paused to not complicate transition 3

Products needed for PbR 6 1.CLUSTERING TOOL – A method to assign individuals into needs based clusters (= to Health Resource Groups) 2.PACKAGES OF CARE - Needs-based packages of care that are evidence based and cost effective 3.OUTCOME MEASURES – Assess the progress and effectiveness of treatment 4.MINIMUM DATA SET - Captures Assessment / Clusters Treatment journey Outcomes 5.COST REPORTING TOOLS - Capture costs for treating each cluster to inform local tariff setting

Packages of Care NICE guidance defines these packages ( NICE - STOP looking at care - service by service –Detox, Residential Rehab, Day Treatment; etc NICE - START looking at packages / stages of care: –Assessment & engagement –Care planning & case management –Withdrawal management –Addressing physical and psychiatric co-morbidity –Psychosocial interventions –Pharmacotherapy –Recovery, aftercare & reintegration 13

NICE Package of care: Moderate / Severe dependence with complex needs (Cluster 4) Assessment / Engagement / Motivational enhancement: –Use AUDIT, SADQ/LDQ and units per day to determine dependence –Determine level of risk and the presence of co-existing problems recorded by use of HONOS/SARN –In-depth medical (physical & psychiatric) assessment will be necessary –Deliver motivational enhancement to promote engagement Care Planning / Care co-ordination and Case management: –A care plan –Case management lasting at least 12 months (frequent appointments in the first 6 months) Withdrawal management: –Most likely inpatient care (but upon assessment may be met through outpatient care) –Post withdrawal assessment of mental health issues and cognitive function Psychosocial interventions: –A package of 12 weeks of CBT (based in a day treatment programme) –Residential rehabilitation of up to 12 weeks may be required Pharmacotherapy: –For relapse prevention - acamprosate or naltrexone (or disulfiram if indicated) for one year. –This should be delivered in conjunction with psychosocial interventions Physical and Psychiatric co-morbidity: These should be managed according to appropriate NICE guidelines Recovery / Aftercare / Reintegration: Encouragement should be given to engage in self-help groups such as AA or SMART Recovery. Referral to employment services, assistance with housing and benefits may be required. 14

Challenges to services Assessment / Engagement / Motivational enhancement: –Training in the use of HoNOS / SARN –Interpreting scores & assigning to “clusters” Care Planning / Care co-ordination and Case management: –Providing case management for up to a year Withdrawal management: –“For mild to moderate dependence and complex needs, or severe dependence, offer an intensive community programme following assisted withdrawal in which the service user may attend a day programme lasting between 4 and 7 days per week over a 3-week period.” (NICE Guidance) Psychosocial interventions: –Providing CBT in a consistent “manual based” way –Delivering 12 week packages of CBT Pharmacotherapy: –Providing acamprosate or naltrexone (or disulfiram if indicated) for up to a year 15

Outcome monitoring Outcome monitoring is important in assessing how treatment for alcohol misuse is progressing The main aim is to assess whether there has been a change in the targeted behaviour following treatment Outcome monitoring aids in deciding whether treatment should: – be continued, or –a change of the care plan is needed Routine outcome monitoring (including feedback to staff and patients) has been shown to be effective in improving outcomes NICE Guidance 16

Outcome monitoring There is no consensus in the alcohol treatment field as to which tool is best to use There are a number of existing tools that may be suitable including: –Comprehensive Drinker Profile –Addiction Severity Index –MAP –RESULT –Christo Inventory for Substance Misuse Services (CISS) –TOP –The Alcohol Star –ATOM –HoNOS –APQ –AUDIT 17

Outcome monitoring Alcohol Treatment PbR Pilots tested: –AUDIT – O (Outcome) 3 month recall period –‘Alcohol’ TOP Removed –harm reduction section –crime section Kept –Alcohol & drug use –Health and social functioning Performance of both still being assessed 18

Reporting costs NHS Mental Health Trusts now reporting “costs by cluster” – the cost of treating an individual in the cluster Alcohol Treatment PbR Pilots investigating ways to report “costs by cluster” Methods developed by pilots will be made available for others to use 19

Usual PbR Next Steps Action Year 1Currencies (clusters) announced Year 2Currencies available for use Patients assigned a cluster Year 3Report reference costs based on clusters Year 4Clusters inform local indicative tariffs 20

PbR Status From April 2013, local authorities have new public health responsibilities –Alcohol prevention and treatment services Introducing PbR at this time might not be helpful –Need to allow LAs to settle –Need to assess how PbR can support the system Will use this time to refine tools and products –Refine clustering tools –Review outcome data

PbR Purpose More productive discussions between commissioners and providers Bench-marking (for both providers and commissioners) Greater investment in proven interventions Better care leading to better outcomes for service users 22

Drug and Alcohol Recovery PbR Next evolution of PbR - payment by OUTCOMES Outcomes for payment –Free from drug(s) of dependence Interim - Drug and/or alcohol use significantly improved –Abstinent from all presenting substances –Planned exit from the treatment Final - Discharged from treatment successfully (free of drug(s) of dependence) and do not re-present in either the treatment system or in the criminal justice system –Offending Interim - No proven offending in a 6 month Final - No proven offending in a 12 month period after discharge –Health and Wellbeing – Interim Outcomes Injecting - reported 0 days injecting on any two TOP review Hep B Vac - completed a course of Hepatitis B vaccinations Housing - no longer had housing problem on any two review TOP Wellbeing – improved quality of life score in any two TOP review 23

Drug and Alcohol Recovery PbR Payment Modelling Tool - Complexity Index –NDTMS / NATMS –TOP data Groups (based on likelihood of a good outcome) –Drugs: 5 groups –Alcohol: 3 groups – low, medium, high Payments for (by local determination) –Abstinence –Reliable Change Index (RCI) –Treatment Completion –Housing –Re-presentation to treatment –Improvement in Quality of Life –Attachment fee 24
