One study found that integrating behavioral health and primary care could save the U.S. health care system $26 billion to $48 billion a year; others have shown that such integration brings better patient outcomes, too.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe know that patients who don\u2019t adhere with treatment plans tend to have a high correlation with a mental health diagnosis,\u201d Bailey said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Innovate, state<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2229\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2229\" style=\"width: 214px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2229\" src=\"https:\/\/uchealth-wp-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/1970\/01\/28145105\/EXT_020616-lyon-corey-2011.webp\" alt=\"Corey Lyon, DO, medical director of UCHealth\u2019s A.F.

Williams Family Medicine Clinic.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Six UCHealth clinics are involved in the first phase of the work: University of Colorado Hospital\u2019s A.F. Williams Family Medicine Clinic, Women\u2019s Integrated Services in Health, and the Seniors Clinic; and CHMG\u2019s Snow Mesa, Timberline and Sterling clinics. Travis Sherman, UCHealth\u2019s senior director of population health, said the others (UCHealth has three dozen clinics across the Front Range) will have the opportunity to join as the program progresses.<\/p>\n<p>While the SIM grant involves many interrelated initiatives, Sherman said the focus is on three major areas.<\/p>\n<p>Corey Lyon, DO, medical director of UCHealth\u2019s A.F. Williams Family Medicine Clinic.<\/p>\n<p>First, he said, \u201cOrganizations like UCHealth are being paid a share of the money to figure out how you integrate these services in innovative ways.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Second is working with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.corhio.org\/\">CORHIO<\/a> and others to develop a health information technology framework that allows disparate providers to share integrated health data in real time and enables new models of care.<\/p>\n<p>The third goal is have providers work with commercial insurers in the state (there are about 440 of them) to get them to align behind a viable payment model for behavioral health care.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s low supply in Colorado and it\u2019s poorly integrated, in part because it\u2019s not paid for in a way that motivates,\u201d Sherman said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ahead of the game<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sherman said those approaches are to be determined. They might involve creating combinations of telehealth, co-locating behavioral health experts in primary care offices, involving mental health counselors with referrals, and other options. The six practices involved will try different things, he said, in addition to seeing how new IT and payment approaches work. The practices that follow will apply those lessons while trying to tailor approaches to their practices\u2019 specific traits, he said.<\/p>\n<p>In northern Colorado, the clinics will be building on a solid foundation. The Sterling clinic, for example, launched a telepsychiatry pilot on Feb. 1. It\u2019s led by <a href=\"https:\/\/medschool.cuanschutz.edu\/psychiatry\">James \u201cJay\u201d Shore, MD<\/a>, a psychiatrist with CU\u2019s Depression Center. The pilot involves a psychiatric nurse practitioner linking from the Anschutz Medical Campus to Sterling via an audio\/video link that allows her to work directly with patients, doctors and nurse practitioners, as well as offline via Epic, Bailey said. If all goes well, he added, the group would like to roll it out across CHMG\u2019s practices.<\/p>\n<p>More broadly, Bailey envisions CHMG doing a tiered approach with respect to behavioral health. A \u201cmid-level primary care person\u201d would look at behavioral-health screenings and touch base with providers about patients with possible issues.<\/p>\n<p>Those providers would \u00a0do a brief intervention, then hand patients off to a psychiatric care professional, either in-house or in the community.\u00a0 For example, Bailey said, CHMG has built a strong relationship with <a href=\"https:\/\/heartcenteredcounselors.com\/\">Heart-Centered Counseling<\/a> in Fort Collins, which, in addition to seeing CHMG patients within 24 hours regardless of insurance status, has embedded a licensed professional counselor at the Snow Mesa clinic.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Onsite @ A.F.

Williams has made big strides in integrating behavior health and primary care. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cudoctors.com\/Find_A_Doctor\/Profile\/19908\">Corey Lyon, DO<\/a>, A.F. Williams\u2019 medical director, pointed to the clinic\u2019s registry of depression patients. Clinic staff use it to check in between appointments to make sure patients are taking and tolerating their medications and don\u2019t miss appointments. The clinic also has three doctoral psychology students who serve as health coaches in such areas as tobacco cessation, weight loss, and diabetes management. That\u2019s in addition to three CU faculty psychologists who rotate in for full-time coverage, both for direct patient care and for \u201cwarm hand-offs\u201d for acute needs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf there\u2019s a crisis, we can grab a psychologist and we can all talk in the exam room,\u201d Lyon said.<\/p>\n<p>Colleen Conry, MD, vice chair of Quality and Clinical Affairs for the CU Department of Family Medicine.<\/p>\n<p>A.F. Williams has also integrated 60-minute co-consults that involve patients, providers and psychologists in the clinic workflow, he said. That helps to instill trust with patients who know their primary care providers but don\u2019t know the psychologist and boosts the provider\u2019s confidence that he or she is making the right calls.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s not to say the SIM grant\u2019s boost isn\u2019t welcome, Lyon said. The depression registry and other behavioral-health-related processes tend to be manual and, as a result, cumbersome. It\u2019s also hard to gather data useful in optimizing and justifying behavioral-health programs, he said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SIM focus<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Some of the grant will pay for UCHealth \u201cpractice coach\u201d time, which will help clinics settle upon consistent, repeatable processes, Lyon added. And having payers step up for behavioral health will be vital, he added. The Department of Family Medicine had continued to subsidize that care at A.F. Williams, a luxury few practices enjoy.<\/p>\n<p>The SIM grant will lend structure to the practice transformation required to broadly integrate behavioral health and primary care, said <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cudoctors.com\/Find_A_Doctor\/Profile\/14703\">Colleen Conry, MD<\/a>, vice chair of Quality and Clinical Affairs for the CU Department of Family Medicine. Building that structure will involve some heavy lifting, she added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPractices must evaluate their clinical protocols and flows, new job descriptions must be created, and most importantly, new teams must be created and function well,\u201d Conry said in an email. \u201cMedical providers must learn how to work with behavioral health providers and develop a trust in their skill set. Together they must learn how to hand off patients and how to have great communication.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For Bailey, the SIM grant\u2019s financial boost is less important than the political statement it makes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis brings tremendous focus,\u201d he said. \u201cThe governor\u2019s office and UCHealth are saying, \u2018We\u2019re behind this.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With a four-year, $65 million federal grant to unite behavioral health and primary care in Colorado poised to go operational, a handful of UCHealth\u2019s primary care practices are gearing up to lead the pack.
