Depression among its work force was observed at twice the national rate. • Nurses are twice as likely to experience depression • The employees are weighted female and women experience higher rates of depression Patients with depression were costing 2.7 times more than patients with similar other comorbidities Depression was observed to have a negative impact on work performance as measured by absenteeism and presenteeism surveys Most depressed patients were not receiving best practice treatments The majority of patients were identified through a prescription usually used to treat depression. OVERVIEW DATA INTEGRATION AND WAREHOUSING WEB PORTAL FUNCTIONALITY ANALYSIS SERVICES • The Hospital System wanted to address high depression rates and treatment within its employee population. • Many studies have concluded depression doubles in nurses . (INQRI, Clinical Nurse Specialist, American Journal of Nursing) • Large studies of medical professionals have found the rates of depressed are actually greater than the numbers identified from claims data alone. TREATMENT TELE-SESSIONS • There can still be stigma associated with a diagnosis of depression or any mental health diagnosis in health care employees. IMPLEMENTATION • These and other reasons can increase reluctance to seek treatment. CASE STUDIES OVERVIEW DATA INTEGRATION AND WAREHOUSING WEB PORTAL FUNCTIONALITY ANALYSIS SERVICES TREATMENT TELE-SESSIONS IMPLEMENTATION CASE STUDIES Depression can result from a combination of many factors such as: • Biology: brain chemistry changes • Genetics: family history can be a risk factor • Gender: women are twice as likely to experience depression • Health conditions • Trauma and grief: violence, emotional abuse, death of a loved one • Stressful events: marital, family, work • Medications and substances OVERVIEW DATA INTEGRATION AND WAREHOUSING WEB PORTAL FUNCTIONALITY ANALYSIS SERVICES TREATMENT TELE-SESSIONS IMPLEMENTATION CASE STUDIES Reasons often given for high depression rates in medical workers include: • Stress of working with sick patients; it is rewarding but can be emotionally draining. • Work hour schedules: 12 hour shifts, night shifts, on call, etc. • Perception that as a healer you can’t get sick or be affected by “emotional issues.” • Perception that seeking counseling may be seen as a weakness. • Fear a psychiatric diagnosis will affect job or licensure. OVERVIEW DATA INTEGRATION AND WAREHOUSING WEB PORTAL FUNCTIONALITY ANALYSIS SERVICES • Depression was occurring at high rates in the employee population • Depression was impacting employee lives and performance • Depression was often not treated according to best practices • There were barriers and resistance to care • EAP referrals were problematic and less effective • Care coordination was not occurring at acceptable levels TREATMENT TELE-SESSIONS IMPLEMENTATION CASE STUDIES • Existing resources were not being leveraged • The employee population deserves better OVERVIEW DATA INTEGRATION AND WAREHOUSING WEB PORTAL FUNCTIONALITY ANALYSIS SERVICES 1. Leverage existing carrier network 2. Enhance role of EAP 3. Improve care coordination 4. Use EMMDATA video counseling sessions where appropriate 5. Reduce the 200 counselors being utilized to a smaller cohort of more highly skilled counselors to improve patient outcomes, patient satisfaction and reduce unit cost 6. Use EMMDATA tools to monitor and measure program success TREATMENT TELE-SESSIONS IMPLEMENTATION CASE STUDIES OVERVIEW DATA INTEGRATION AND WAREHOUSING WEB PORTAL FUNCTIONALITY ANALYSIS SERVICES TREATMENT TELE-SESSIONS IMPLEMENTATION CASE STUDIES The existing list of 200 counselors currently providing services were analyzed to create a referral panel of 35 preferred counselors The preferred status criteria included • Requisite credentialing and skill set for treating depression • Experience with the special issues in depression surrounding health care professionals • Willingness to use tele-health video counseling with patients • Agreement to discounts beyond the carrier discounts because • The plan paid directly • The plan paid quickly • More patients were referred OVERVIEW DATA INTEGRATION AND WAREHOUSING EAP enhanced its triage function through initial counseling WEB PORTAL FUNCTIONALITY Referral selection ANALYSIS SERVICES TREATMENT TELE-SESSIONS IMPLEMENTATION CASE STUDIES • When appropriate, referrals were made to the preferred counselors • EAP through the results of its initial triage counseling made referrals based on: • Best match with patient problems and counselor skill sets • For those using video tele-health sessions, location was no longer a selection criteria. The most appropriate counselor could be assigned regardless of location Utilization and patient outcomes and progress are monitored through the EMMDATA tools. OVERVIEW DATA INTEGRATION AND WAREHOUSING WEB PORTAL FUNCTIONALITY ANALYSIS SERVICES TREATMENT TELE-SESSIONS IMPLEMENTATION CASE STUDIES The health plan chose to make available to counselors the consolidated patient record. This indicates the diagnostic, pharmacy and utilization history of the patient through the health plan. Counselors now know who is prescribing medication. In this case a significant number of antidepressant prescriptions were coming through the health plan employee clinic. This was another opportunity to leverage existing resources. OVERVIEW DATA INTEGRATION AND WAREHOUSING • Average counseling session cost reduced 35% • Increased per patient sessions for depression and anxiety WEB PORTAL FUNCTIONALITY • Increased use of non-health services (financial and relationship) ANALYSIS SERVICES • Increased care coordination between counselors and prescribers for EAP • Improved referral management TREATMENT TELE-SESSIONS • Better reporting of utilization • Improved ability to act as behavioral health gate keeper IMPLEMENTATION CASE STUDIES • Improved patient satisfaction OVERVIEW DATA INTEGRATION AND WAREHOUSING WEB PORTAL FUNCTIONALITY ANALYSIS SERVICES TREATMENT TELE-SESSIONS IMPLEMENTATION CASE STUDIES Historically, care management has existed in separate programs. The interventions may be internal to the plan but often are through external vendors. A typical collection of plan programs may include: • • • • • • Disease Management 24/7 Nurse line Case Management Utilization Management Complex Case Management Wellness Programs OVERVIEW DATA INTEGRATION AND WAREHOUSING WEB PORTAL FUNCTIONALITY ANALYSIS SERVICES TREATMENT TELE-SESSIONS IMPLEMENTATION Nurse interventions and activities when available to treating physicians can add value The effects of proper interventions can be: • Extension of Physician office • Reconcile transitions of care • Monitor signs and symptoms • Monitor treatment compliance • Follow through on self management • Triage patient service selection CASE STUDIES 72 OVERVIEW DATA INTEGRATION AND WAREHOUSING • Wellness and disease management vendors have notoriously low engagement rates. WEB PORTAL FUNCTIONALITY • In Smart Enrollment models are run before enrollment identifying all members that would benefit from vendor programs. ANALYSIS SERVICES TREATMENT TELE-SESSIONS IMPLEMENTATION CASE STUDIES • As part of the enrollment process, members are enrolled in the applicable programs. • Smart Enrollment integrates with virtually all enrollment vendors and systems. OVERVIEW DATA INTEGRATION AND WAREHOUSING WEB PORTAL FUNCTIONALITY ANALYSIS SERVICES TREATMENT TELE-SESSIONS IMPLEMENTATION CASE STUDIES • Determining program effectiveness rates is dramatically complicated by low engagement rates • Well defined criteria to determine who can benefit from a program is crucial • Criteria can be based on diagnoses, utilization, demographics, or any combination in advance of program launch OVERVIEW DATA INTEGRATION AND WAREHOUSING WEB PORTAL FUNCTIONALITY ANALYSIS SERVICES TREATMENT TELE-SESSIONS Observations: • • • Options: • • • • IMPLEMENTATION CASE STUDIES Group A is treating sicker patients more efficiently. Group B is less efficient with healthier patients. The discounts for Group B are actually greater than Group A but the inefficiency results in greater cost. Reexamine the Group B contract. Increase co-pays or co-insurance for Group B. Inform members at enrollment of the cost differential especially in HSA plans. Examine case management and utilization review options for Group B. OVERVIEW DATA INTEGRATION AND WAREHOUSING WEB PORTAL FUNCTIONALITY By analyzing all of the claims and Rx data for a patient a more complete clinical utilization and cost profile can be achieved. The more complete consolidated view of the patients diagnostic and utilization history from all sources informs better clinical decisions. ANALYSIS SERVICES The longitudinal patient health record is an effective tool for sharing data across physicians, facilities and intervention services. TREATMENT TELE-SESSIONS IMPLEMENTATION CASE STUDIES The data can remain separate on the platform or be integrated into the Clinic EMR • The Clinic Consent Form must include authorization for the Clinic to access the data • The level of detail can be determined by the Clinic • A combination of summary data and detailed data usually works most efficiently • Care coordination can be greatly enhanced OVERVIEW DATA INTEGRATION AND WAREHOUSING WEB PORTAL FUNCTIONALITY ANALYSIS SERVICES TREATMENT TELE-SESSIONS IMPLEMENTATION CASE STUDIES EMMDATA is committed to the proposition that patient compliance with evidence-based medicine improves patient outcomes and ultimately helps contain cost. We believe patient-centric analysis is critical to population health management. RESTART
