Objective 1: Develop a common framework for administrative services Objective 2: Create fully integrated clinical services Objective 3: Integrated Outreach program across Medical/Mental Health Strategic Planning: Expected Outcomes Speaker: Sandy Santiago, Director of Clinic Support Services, UC Davis SHCS • Every UC Davis Student has a team of professionals to help them (i.e., a “Medical Home”) and they understand how to access services. • Professionals support one another in this endeavor and there is effective communication among providers in a uniform manner • All are on the same computer network and electronic health record (EHR) • Traditions are maintained, built upon with joint training and professional development to enhance communication • There are clear administrative policies with respect to services as well as human resources. Practical Aspects of Implementation Speaker: Sandy Santiago, Director of Clinic Support Services, UC Davis SHCS • Executive Support • Gathering input • Staff Champions • EDMT pilot – shared record • Clinical Staff Integration Meetings • Increase communication • Build relationships • Learn to understand each other • MOD/POD Shared/Common Training brief motivational interviewing suicide risk assessment Suicide Prevention Speaker: Dorje Jennette, PsyD, CAPS Clinical Director, UC Santa Cruz Student Health • Nationally, professional health care is underutilized among those who are at risk of completing suicide (e.g., Luoma, Martin, and Pearson, 2002) • Integration has the potential to unlock synergies that help students access and adhere to the care they need • Risk screening and safety planning—casting a wider net Suicide Prevention Speaker: Dorje Jennette, PsyD, CAPS Clinical Director, UC Santa Cruz Student Health • Students with gender identity stressors associated with elevated suicide risk and low health services engagement • Bringing engagement to vulnerable populations: Community Advising Network • Psychotherapists embedded in partner units such as the LGBTQIAQ center • Establishing trust and bridging to medical services Multidisciplinary Teams Speaker: Dorje Jennette, PsyD, CAPS Clinical Director, UC Santa Cruz Student Health Quality Review: Continued discipline-specific peer review and quality assurance teams, but formed integrated umbrella Quality Committee Treatment/Consult: Continued department-specific treatment teams, but formed integrated: 1. Eating Disorder Management Team 2. Behavioral Health Consultation Team 3. ATOD Consultation Team Collaborative Care Speaker: Dorje Jennette, PsyD, CAPS Clinical Director, UC Santa Cruz Student Health • • • • Students with Eating Disorders • Care team that regularly communicates/collaborates • Unambiguous level-of-care recommendations Students with ATOD concerns • Care team that trained together in motivational interviewing • Prescriber boundaries clear among providers and their patients Transgender Students • Unified designation of gender identity in EHR • Streamlined transfer of documentation ADHD • Standardization and improved validity in diagnoses • Reduced wait time for access to psychiatry Richard Fee “Drowned in a Stream of Prescriptions” -NYT Speaker: Dorje Jennette, PsyD, CAPS Clinical Director, UC Santa Cruz Student Health Emerging Standards for ADHD Diagnosis Speaker: Dorje Jennette, PsyD, CAPS Clinical Director, UC Santa Cruz Student Health • ETS standards for accommodations on SAT/GRE • an evaluation within the last three years • by a specialized psychologist/psychiatrist • • with first-hand childhood teacher comments, third-party evidence of current impairment, • a rule-out of alternative diagnoses, and • relevant testing (e.g., intellect, achievement, processing speed, fluency, executive functioning, language, attention, and memory) • NCAA standards for athletes testing + for stimulants • • Less specific than ETS, but generally similar. UCSB’s Elizabeth May, PhD, and Edwin Feliciano, MD • September 2012 UC-wide conference call • Emphasized the need for symptom validity testing, which helps distinguish between malingering/inadequate effort and true impairments/symptoms ADHD Screening Process Speaker: Dorje Jennette, PsyD, CAPS Clinical Director, UC Santa Cruz Student Health PCP to continue Rx? Off-campus testing valid? Student requesting new ADHD diagnosis ADHD Screen Psychiatry, Psychotherapy, Full Testing Battery, PCP, and/or Learning Resources Outcome of Treatment Speaker: Dorje Jennette, PsyD, CAPS Clinical Director, UC Santa Cruz Student Health Retrospective chart review for subjective report of improvement for patients treated medically Started on ADHD Treatment Anxiety/Depression Treatment Positive Response 30/32 = 94% 30/35 = 86% Benefits of ADHD Screening Speaker: Dorje Jennette, PsyD, CAPS Clinical Director, UC Santa Cruz Student Health 1. Improved accuracies in evaluation 2. Identification of true cause of symptoms/distress 3. Better academic outcomes (presuming treatment improves attention which improves effective studying) 4. Reduced risk of abuse 5. Efficiencies; better allocation of resources 6. Establishing consistency/standards of practice Integrated Urgent Care Speaker: Tom Ferguson, MD, PhD, Medical Director, UC Davis SHCS • Triage system Urgent Care (Shared Medical/CAPS) • Resource Coordination • Medical Officer of the Day (MOD) – Experienced physician is available by pager for second opinion and to assist Urgent Care as a resource for psychologists and PC Providers • Psychologist of the Day (POD) – Experienced psychologist who is available by pager to assist PCP and UC Triage Nurses in risk assessment and crisis response. • ‘Warm Handoffs’ – POD can meet and greet patient in UC or PC clinics to introduce and arrange appointment later in day or week (or can assess urgently). Integrated Urgent Care: Case Study Speaker: Tom Ferguson, MD, PhD, Medical Director, UC Davis SHCS CASE: UC patient assessed by RN for feeling anxious. Has hypertension 148/110 and HR 90 with past medical history of bipolar disorder and recently poor sleep. Past medical history of psychosis and hospitalizations for bipolar disease. • Triage RN identified acute medical and psychological assessment needs • MOD requested POD to assess for patient safety concerns likely exacerbation bipolar disorder and previous hospitalizations • Psychologist assessed and diagnosed bipolar disorder needing higher level of care. Patient agreed to voluntary psychiatric hospitalization for acute care. • Was normotensive at discharge from inpatient treatment without any antihypertensive treatment but was taking medications for bipolar treatment. Another Case Study Speaker: Tom Ferguson, MD, PhD, Medical Director, UC Davis SHCS CASE: 23 yo male seen by PCP for ankle injury and as part of that visit is screened for depression with PHQ 9. Score elevated at 21 with question 9 indicating daily thoughts of self harm. •PCP does screening for suicide (ACP P4 screener) which scores low for immediate risk and reviews concern with POD. •POD facilitates assessment using warm handoff technique and initiates therapy with messaging to PCP. •Coordination of care and warm handoff improves likelihood of formal psychological assessment and engagement in care. •Collaborative approach in making treatment decisions (don’t all need medications but do all need monitoring !). Warm Handoffs Work Both Ways ! Speaker: Tom Ferguson, MD, PhD, Medical Director, UC Davis SHCS CASE: 19 yo female international student assessed by CAPS psychologist and determined to have recurrence of severe depression. Had stopped fluoxetine when came to USA 6 months ago. Not suicidal but difficulty getting out of bed and academic problems. Next initial psychiatry appointment in 4 wks. Psychologist pages MOD for consultation. •MOD discusses case with the psychologist regarding best care for patient. PCP appt 24 hours is decided – PCP copied on notes from MOD and psychologist so is expecting the patient in clinic. •Coordination cuts through ‘red tape’ and ‘bottlenecks’ •Does require PCP willingness to initiate and monitor therapy for depression. •PCP collaborate with psychiatrists via secure messaging for support. Communication Speaker: Tom Ferguson, MD, PhD, Medical Director, UC Davis SHCS Lessons Learned Speaker: Michelle Famula, M.D., Executive Director, UC Davis Health & Wellness 1. Importance of change management/rolling with resistance: communication/processing/discussion 2. Strategic planning is critical to put leaders on the same page 3. Participating in CSI/workgroups/team meetings helps sharing, communication, and understanding across disciplines 4. Keep student-centered perspectives in mind (e.g., complex/high-risk students might be best served at times by a one-stop integrated urgent care service) What’s Next? Speaker: Michelle Famula, M.D., Executive Director, UC Davis Health & Wellness 1. Open Access scheduling for psychological services 2. Alcohol screening/CCAPS tracking 3. ATOD team development; smoking cessation integration 4. More systematic referrals of patients from psychiatry to PCP for stabilized med management (with consultation available), conserving limited psychiatry resources.
