“If We Build It They Will Come”
• Who is the person requesting health services?
• What is being requested? What is it that this
person wants when seeking health services?
• What is his or her prior experience?
• What is the person’s understanding of health
services?
• Where is the person seeking health services
supposed to go?
• How does the person know what it is he or she
is supposed to do to address health
conditions?
• Is the health services delivery system “familiar,
safe, secure, comfortable, and in harmony with
the person’s surroundings”?

Real Story
10
Chronic Medical Conditions
• Among individuals enrolled in Medicare and
Medicaid 62 percent live with two or more
chronic medical conditions; 22 percent
experience five or more chronic medical
conditions (2009 Medicare data)
• In a population of 1 million, Miller (2012)
estimates that of 13 chronic conditions with
co-occurring behavioral health conditions the
health care cost differential is $665 million
more between individuals with and without
co-morbidity1
• CMS estimates 45 percent of dual-eligible
hospitalizations could have been avoided in
2005 if care had been better coordinated2
1. Miller, B. (2012) SHAPE, Sustaining Integrated Care. 2. Cassidy, A, et al. (2012) Care for Dual Eligibles. Efforts are afoot to
improve care and lower costs for roughly 9 million people enrolled in both Medicare and Medicaid. Health Policy Brief, Health
Affairs, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
11
What Is the Problem?
• Individuals with chronic conditions that are poorly managed and
controlled resulted in having premature mortality and higher costs
for more intensive treatment
• Factors
– Self-care is poor
» Lack resources
» Lack knowledge
» Lack motivation
– Health delivery system is fragmented
» Lack communication between health service providers
» Lack focus on the long-term health needs of individuals; structure of the delivery
system oriented to defining a problem and a solution—acute episodic care model
» Lack a consumer-focused structure (office hours, engagement and education of
individual)
» Lack a financial model to promote collaboration and a long-term view of individual’s
health
12
Point of View
• Health homes are focused on individuals with multiple co-occurring
chronic conditions or a severe mental illness
• A health home represents collaborative and integrated health
services addressing physical and behavioral health
issues/conditions inclusive of community resources and supports,
as well as long-term services and supports
• Service delivery model may include a primary physician clinic, a
Community Mental Health Center, a Community Health Clinic
(FQHC/FQHC look-a-like) or other community-based health
services delivery organizations
• Preferred Model: An Managed Care Organization (MCO) provides
end-to-end care coordination in collaborating with a health home
lead organization that represents a point-of-service with co-located
physical, behavioral health services, as well as a co-located care
manager
13
What does a Health Home
Address?

supports and
services
14
Premise for Health Homes
Mind and body are connected
Team care is better care
Engagement and self care
Coordination, collaboration, continuity enhance health services
Mobilizing and coordinating primary medical services, specialists,
behavioral health, and long-term services and supports increases
efficiencies and improves patient outcomes

Patient-Centered Medical Homes
and Health Homes
• PCMH seeks to strengthen the physician-patient relationship by
replacing episodic care based on illnesses and an individual’s
complaints with coordinated care for all life stages (acute, chronic,
preventive and end-of-life) and establish a long-term therapeutic
relationship
• The physician-led health team is responsible for coordinating all of
the individual’s health service needs and arranges for appropriate
services with other qualified physicians and support services
• Joint principles of PCMH

What Is a Health Home?
Definition: An integrated, person-centered, and physical and
behavioral service delivery system aimed at populations with complex,
chronic conditions – fueled by exchange of health information, evidence-based
practices and care coordination. Intended to improve outcomes by reducing
fragmented care and promoting patient-centered care.
Eligible Populations
 At least two chronic conditions, including
– Asthma
– Obesity
– Diabetes
– Mental condition
– Heart disease
– Substance abuse disorder
 One chronic condition and be at risk for another
 One serious and persistent mental health condition
Health Home Services Required
 Comprehensive care management
 Care coordination and health promotion
 Comprehensive transitional care
 Individual and family support (includes Auth Rep)
 Referral to community and social support services
 HIT to link services, as feasible and appropriate
18
Key Differences From Patient-Centered Medical
Homes
• Statutorily defined with enhanced FMAP to eligible populations,
conditions and services
• Multiprovider care team focus—does not have to be physician lead
• Chronic condition focus with integration of medical and behavioral
health
• Integration of community resources, family/social supports
• New potential primary care roles for Health Home (e.g. BH specialists or
community-based providers)
• New payment methodologies (e.g. patient management fee, shared
savings, P4P, e-consult payments)
• Extensive health information sharing

24
Models for Health Homes
(as defined in PPACA, Section 2703)
• A designated provider, physician, clinical/group practice, etc.
• A team of health professionals with links to a designated provider—
free-standing, virtual, hospital-based, community mental health
centers, etc.
• A health team: medical specialists, nurses, pharmacists, nutritionists,
dieticians, social workers, behavioral health providers
• These delivery models are reflected in two orientations:
– Care Management/Case Management (2)
– Co-located, integrating physical and behavioral health services (1 & 3)
Considering these models what is the potential meaning to
individuals who would “come home?”

New York Implementation Challenges in Health
Homes Implementation, End of Year 1
• Six areas are identified as posing significant challenges in
establishing health homes
–
–
–
–
–
–
Becoming operational
Enrolling eligible beneficiaries
Determining payment rates
Building relationships and defining roles
Developing health information exchanges
Measuring quality
• Challenge finding and enrolling eligible beneficiaries (84,000
identified, 41,000 enrolled); contracting MCOs and Health Homes
has taken longer than expected and delayed enrollment efforts
– As of January 2013 about 17,000 individuals are receiving health home services
or are in in the outreach and engagement phase
– Approximately 13,000 of these individuals converted from legacy case
management programs

Goals in Establishing Health Homes
• Build capacity among health services providers in establishing a
team-based model of services
• Establish health information technology for documentation and
information sharing
– Patient registries with alerts to follow- up with patients
– Referral tracking systems to monitor specialty services utilization
– Notification systems to identify an individual’s admission or discharge from an
emergency department, inpatient or residential/rehabilitation setting
– Monitor prescriptions for counter-indicated prescriptions and refills of needed
medications
– Mobile technologies for self-monitoring with provider notification systems
– Direct provider communications (continuity of care documents)
• A system for constructing personal health plan promoting self care
• Establish clinical processes to facilitate collaboration between the
MCO and health home care managers
• Monitoring and tracking of quality indicators
32
Goals in Establishing Health Homes, cont’d.
• Capacity to track quality indicators and program outcomes
• CMS has established eight recommended core measures:
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
Adult body mass index
Ambulatory Care –Sensitive Condition Admissions
Care Transitions
Follow-up after hospitalization for mental illness
Plan—all cause readmission
Screening for depression and follow-up plan
Initiation and engagement of alcohol and other drug dependence treatment
Controlling high blood pressure
• PPACA provides for independent program evaluation to include a
reduction in hospital admissions and emergency department
utilization
• Establish program evaluation and define outcomes
• Establish payment models to sustain core health home services

37
Point of View ReDux
• Establish health homes for individuals
experiencing co-occurring chronic conditions or
a severe mental illness that incorporate physical
and behavioral health providers co-located,
collaborating, and providing integrated services
• Care managers are co-located to facilitate
collaboration and coordination with specialists,
facilities, and community resources
• Services are coordinated between primary
service providers and specialty service providers,
long-term services and supports, as well as
ensuring transitions in services between hospital
and other community-based facilities
• Collaboration and coordination ensures
continuity in services over time
38
Point of View ReDux, cont’d.
• A health home may be established in a physician clinic, community
mental health center, FQHC, Rural Health Services, or other CBOs
that establish a mechanism to offer physical and mental health
services
• The role of the MCO is to interface with health homes to ensure
continuity and coordination of the health services delivery system
