1 Office of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services FY Budget Presentation

2 Health Care Budget Overview Budget responds to the current economic challenge by permanently reducing costs Allows for a $346 million expansion in health care across all commonwealth agencies ($329 million for DPW) Increases the number of children receiving health care through CHIP by 10,300 Maintains adultbasic enrollment at 2008 levels Builds on progress to rebalance the long term living system Supports DPW safety net programs and investments in quality and results

3 The FY10-11 DPW budget prepares PA to meet rising demand MA enrollment is expected to grow 3% In child welfare, the number of children needing outof-home placement will continue to decline, allowing more children to be served in their homes 150 new individuals will be able to access MR community services to avoid institutionalization More children will be able to participate in early learning programs, and more individuals will be able to access needed mental health and substance abuse services

4 Risks to the Budget 1. The Economy if the recovery is slower than expected, revenues will be below target 2. MCO Pharmacy Rebates if Congress fails to act, we will have less pharmacy savings 3. Enhanced FMAP if Congress fails to extend the enhanced match for Medical Assistance, the budget will not balance

27 Program Initiatives Progress on Our Objectives

28 Approximately how many consumers are employed as peer specialists in your state? 21 of the 22 states answered this question. The range was from 9 to 500. Taken from the Pillars of Peer Support National Summit- November 17 & 18, 2009

29 General update: Certified Peer Specialists Number of trained CPS: 1160 Number of trained CPSS: 720 Number of programs enrolled: 67 Consumer Leadership Group identified additional goals OMHSAS with The Main Link, developed curriculum for specialized training centered on Forensic Peer Specialists; Second training next week! OMHSAS also supported older adult peer development

36 Quality Management: How are We Doing. What difference are we making???

37 How we are doing: Service Area Planning During FY 07/08, 719 people were discharged from the civil hospitals (excluding Mayview). 37 people were readmitted CSP s were developed for 123 (17%) of the people discharged. Overall readmission rate for 710 people discharged was 5.1%. Readmission rate for people discharged with a CSP during this same period was 0.4%. This has held true for individuals discharged from Mayview State Hospital. This difference between the two readmission rates reinforces the value and importance of a CSP in sustaining a person s discharge and ultimately their recovery. Far fewer incidents when individuals have a Community Support Plan that includes Consumer and Family input!

38 Service Area Plan Updates: Goal 1 Consumers served in State Hospital System 6/03-6/09 Length of Stay for Consumers N u m b e r o f C o n s u m e r s Years Under 2 Years over 2 Years

39 Service Area Plan Updates Percentage of Individuals with a Length of Residence < 2 Years and > 2 Years Percentage Percentage of Individuals with a Length of Residence Less Than 2 Years and Greater Than or Equal to 2 Years Year Years Under 2 Years

40 Service Area Plan Updates Despite a decrease in the absolute number of individuals who have been in state hospitals for 2+ years- particularly with the closure of Harrisburg and Mayview State Hospitalsthe percentage remains relatively constant. We must remain committed to Goal 1 closing hospitals is the most effective method for achieving that goal

41 Quality Management Updates: HealthChoices Behavioral Health Performance Report 2009 Positive trends in OMHSAS Priority Areas Adult Mental Health Services The rate of eligible adults (ages 18-64) receiving MH services increased from 25% in 2007 to 26% in The Southwest region has consistently shown the highest utilization rates, with 29.8% of eligible adults receiving MH services in calendar year There was also an increase in the 2008 rate of adults with Serious Mental Illness receiving MH services, with 7% of this population receiving community based care. This was significantly higher than the estimated national average of approximately 3.1%. NOTE: To adjust for County size, weighted averages were used in reporting

42 Quality Management Updates: HealthChoices Behavioral Health Performance Report 2009 Drug and Alcohol: Adults (ages 18-64) receiving drug and alcohol services remained unchanged at 7% of eligible members in 2007 and The estimated national need is 4.8%. Those adults with Serious Mental Illness and a co-occurring substance disorder who received services remained constant at 2% of eligible members from 2004 to This was below the national estimated need of 3.1%. NOTE: To adjust for County size, weighted averages were used in reporting

43 Quality Management Updates: HealthChoices Behavioral Health Performance Report 2009 Minority Service Utilization Mental Health: Utilization of MH services by African-American adults (ages 18-64) increased from 18% of eligible members in 2004 to 22% statewide in With the exception of the North/Central State Option (which dropped by 1%), every region reporting multiple years of data showed increased use of MH services by African-American adults in 2008 (the last year data are available). Drug and Alcohol: African-American adults (ages 18-64) receiving drug and alcohol services increased from 7% of eligible members in 2004 to 8% in The minority population for some counties was so small it was not included in this indicator. NOTE: To adjust for County size, weighted averages were used

44 Quality Management Updates: HealthChoices Behavioral Health Performance Report 2009 Psychiatric Inpatient Readmission Rates Older adults (ages 65 and over) who were readmitted to community inpatient psychiatric hospitals within 30 days of discharge decreased statewide from 10% in 2007 to 8% in The adult (ages 21-64) readmission rate to community inpatient psychiatric hospitals within 30 days of discharge dropped slightly from 21% of discharges in 2007 to 20% in Calendar Year Children (ages 0-20) who were readmitted to community inpatient psychiatric hospitals within 30 days of discharge in 2008 decreased from16% in 2007 to a statewide average of 15% in NOTES: To adjust for County size, weighted averages were used. Unlike many other performance indicators, the readmission measure is an inverted rate, in that lower rates are preferable.

45 Quality Management Updates: HealthChoices Behavioral Health Performance Report 2009 Services following Inpatient Discharge The rate of adults (ages 21-64) receiving community behavioral health services within seven days of discharge from inpatient psychiatric care increased from 30% in 2004 to 39% in The Northeast Region reported the highest 2008 rate at 60.4%. The 7-day follow-up rate for children (< 21 years) discharged from inpatient psychiatric care increased to 56% in 2008 (from 48% in CY 2004). The national norm for this measure is 42.5%. OMHSAS has established a Gold Standard of 90% community follow-up care within seven days of hospital discharge. NOTES: To adjust for County size, weighted averages were used. The data reflect the fact that additional allowable procedure codes were added between 2004 and 2008 to these HEDIS (Health Effectiveness Data and Information Set) measures.

46 Quality Management Updates: HealthChoices Behavioral Health Performance Report 2009 Children s Service Utilization Mental Health Children (< 21 years) who were admitted to residential treatment facilities remained steady with 4% of eligible children receiving services in CY 2007 and The rate of children who remained in residential treatment facilities more than 120 days decreased in 2008 when compared to the prior calendar year, with 2% of these children having extended stays in Drug and Alcohol Adolescents (ages 13-17) receiving drug and alcohol services remained steady over time, with 1% of eligible members receiving services in 2004 and in NOTE: To adjust for County size, weighted averages were used

47 Other OMHSAS Quality Improvement Initiatives Quality improvement is an ongoing, collaborative process with all stakeholders. Several 2010 efforts of note: Convening Consumer and Family Satisfaction Survey Methodologies Workgroup to: Revise language within Appendix L of the HC BH contract to reflect current and projected survey activities. Expand use of the ROSI consumer survey statewide, for a targeted population of adults. Review existing 3 statewide survey questions and develop age-appropriate companion sets of 5-10 survey items. Develop a toolkit and implementation strategy for all C/FSTs, Counties, BH-MCOs and OMHSAS. Year 2 of Root Cause Analysis and Action Plan processes with BH-MCOs and Counties on select performance indicators. Development of an OMHSAS Dashboard, which will enhance management functions and improve data sharing.

48 Perspectives of Care: MHSIP The ultimate measure of services is how individuals are doing in their lives. An integral measurement strategy involves asking consumers and family members about their perceptions of care. Adults OMHSAS conducts an annual mailed MHSIP (Mental Health Statistics Improvement Program) survey with adult recipients of behavioral health services. The survey items are categorized into 7 national Domains, which are reported to the federal government in our mental health block grant. The 2009 findings showed that adults surveyed feel most positively about participation in their own treatment. Outcomes of Care commonly receives the lowest ratings of the domains. This performance indicator is one of nine National Outcome Measures.

49 Perspectives of Care: MHSIP 100% Pennsylvania Consumer Perception of Care 2009: Adult Survey Respondents Reporting Posivtively on MHSIP Domains 90% 84.67% 82.75% 85.59% 83.60% 80% 70% 64.15% 70.51% 63.37% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% Access Quality and Appropriateness Outcomes Participation in Treatment Planning General Satisfaction Social Connectedness Functioning

50 Perspectives of Care: MHSIP Families Annually, OMHSAS also conducts a mailed MHSIP survey with family members of children and adolescent behavioral health service recipients. Social Connectedness and Functioning are the two domains most recently added to the structure of the MHSIP surveys. The 2009 findings showed that families surveyed feel most positively about two key items regarding their child s care: Cultural Sensitivity of the staff and Participation in their child s treatment planning. 62.4% of families surveyed believed that their child s outcomes were improved as a direct result of services received.

52 OMHSAS use of the Recovery Oriented System Indicators Measure (ROSI) in 2009 Consumer Survey Contracted with the Consumer Satisfaction Team Alliance of PA & 21 local satisfaction teams in a pilot program 576 adults with SMI surveyed face-to-face in 24 counties. Administrative Data Profile Counties reported their providers survey responses. The areas surveyed were: Peer/Consumer programs, Jail diversion, Affirmative action hiring policies by providers, Recovery-oriented mission statement & Consumers serving on provider governing boards

53 The "Top Ten" ROSI questions by percentage answered by participants in 2009 Dr. worked w/ me to get meds that were most Staff listens carefully to what I say Physical health is not ignored Staff have not interferred w/ personal relationships Residence feels like comfortable home Services have not caused me emotional or physical harm Staff do not use pressure, threats or force Respected as a whole person Respect for cultural background 91.6 At least one person who believes in me 96

54 Administrative ROSI: What percent of funds are allocated for peer/consumer delivered services? The Number of Counties reporting their allocated percentages for Peer/Consumer Programming in 2009 > 7% - 25% > 5% - 7% > 2.5% - 5% The Number of Counties reporting their allocated %s for Peer/Consumer Programming in 2009 > 7% - 25% > 5% - 7% > 1% - 2.5% 0-1% > 2.5% - 5% > 1% - 2.5% 0-1% What we learned by asking. No association between size of county and % What further question we had. Was the data accurate in the higher %s reported?

55 When we placed all of the counties together we could see the comparative differences in their allocated percentages reported number means higher spending by percentage in Counties for Consumer/Peer Programs Tioga Schuylkill Northampton Luz/Wyom Wayne Bucks 5 4 Chester Delaware Montgomery Philadelphia Allegheny Lehigh Arm/Ind Lack/Susq 3 Beaver CMP Butler Brad/Sull 2 Cam-Elk Berks Clarion 1 York/ Adams Clear/Jeffe Northumberland 0 Crawford Lyc/Clint Erie Lebanon Fayette Lancaster For/Warr HMJ Greene Frank/Fult Lawrence Dauphin McKean Cumb/Perry Mercer CMSU Centre Cambria Blair Bed/Som Venango Washington Westmoreland Potter
