Using HIT to Increase BH Client Engagement

HIT has tremendous potential to increase the engagement of BH clients in their own care.• Provide individuals with health information tailored to their own risks and health literacy

• Provide links to community and online resources• Provide tools to support self‐care & shared decision making– Goal setting and tracking– Supporting adherence – Interfacing with mobile health tools

Behavioral HIT Stakeholder Engagement

SAMHSA held three HIT Regional Forums:• Participants were from 50 states and U.S. territories.

• Objective: facilitate the integration of standards‐based HIT within the behavioral health field.

SAMHSA also met with various stakeholders regarding behavioral health electronic records & performance measures (APA, ASAM, NAADAC, NASADAD, NASMHPD, etc.)

Page 16: Dr ClarkNC PIC March 12 2014Final2 · 3/12/2014  · Virtual Reality Clinic, Smartphone technology, web‐ base virtual recovery, telephone counseling, telepsychiatry, automated wellness

16

Behavioral HIT Stakeholder Concerns

Matching evolving business practices with evolving trends in treatment.

Interoperability (e.g, compatibility of legacy systems w/newer systems).

Not having the ability to receive Meaningful Use incentives.

Smaller practices lack the funds to be able to successfully implement EHR.

Lack of resources to properly educate staff on the proper use of EHR.

Page 17: Dr ClarkNC PIC March 12 2014Final2 · 3/12/2014  · Virtual Reality Clinic, Smartphone technology, web‐ base virtual recovery, telephone counseling, telepsychiatry, automated wellness

17

Behavioral HIT Challenges

How should HIT systems be designed to control disclosure and re‐disclosure of BH sensitive information?

How can we ensure that when BH data are shared they are interpretable across providers and by third parties (e.g., researchers, public health, surveillance)?

How can  BH systems evolve rapidly along with research and changing best practices?

How can new technologies take us to the next level of BH care delivery?

18

Behavioral HIT Challenges (cont.)

How can technologies be used to reduce  BH reporting burdens while improving data quality?• Minimize data re‐entry• Harmonize across programs to data elements collected in the normal course of care delivery

How can BH systems share information with other service agencies? For example:• Criminal Justice• Housing and Urban Development• Local & Regional Public Health and Social Services Agencies

Public HIT Concerns: Vulnerabilities

"The security tools that you put in place aren't really stopping us as hackers…it seems that time and time again, for us to get into medical systems or hospitals, it's very trivial.”

Consumer Confidentiality and Trust

In order to achieve any level of systemic durability and success, HIT must be trustworthy and developers and managers must  warrant & sustain trusting relationships with all participants, especially the public consumer. 

Privacy is not an area for compromise. Confidentiality should never be a shortcut. Security should not be a second thought or an 

afterthought.

28

Privacy & Technology: Partners or Adversaries?

Data integration and aggregation, coupled with increased on‐line accessibility and sophisticated hacking, tracking, and data mining technologies, dramatically increase the risk and the consequences of breaches of privacy and confidentiality.

In turn, these elevated risks & consequences dramatically  increase our obligations to ensure consumer choice; privacy & confidentiality; state‐of‐the science security; and rapid mitigation of unintended consequences.

Remember the Purpose of 42 CFR Part 2

The purpose of 42 CFR Part 2 and other regulations prohibiting disclosure of records relating to substance abuse treatment ‐‐except with the patient’s consent or a court order after good cause is shown ‐‐ is to encourage patients to seek substance abuse treatment without fear that by doing so their privacy will be compromised.

East Carolina University TAC($276,277, 08/01/2013‐07‐31‐2‐16)

Military veterans are at a significantly high risk for substance abuse and co‐occurring mental health disorders. 

This risk is compounded by the facts that veterans and their families (a) have a significantly greater chance of experiencing a homeless episode; (b) are more likely to experience these issues when representing minority sub‐populations such as racial/ethnic, gender, and/or sexual orientation minorities; and (c) are unlikely or unable to seek treatment due to a number of barriers including stigma or residing in a rural area.

The U.S. Prescription Drug Epidemic

The nonmedical use of controlled prescription drugs (CPDs) continues to be the nation’s fastest growing drug problem.

Individuals abusing CPDs at a higher prevalence rate than any illicit drug except marijuana. 

Pain relievers are the most common type of CPDs taken illicitly, and are the CPDs most commonly involved in overdose incidents.

PDMP is valuable as a clinical decision support tool.

Integrating the PDMP into provider workflow reduces barriers to PDMP access and increases its utilization.

Type of integration can vary:• Basic integration is valued (e.g., hyperlink to PDMP & return PDF)

• Value increases with degree of automationPhase 3 of the National Plan is in process.

Lessons Learned Thus Far

Transitioning to new technologies takes patience.In rural areas, the lack of technology infrastructure to provide requisite bandwidth for operation of telehealth equipment limits our ability to reach telehealth goals.

Inflexible business relationships with vendors locks in programs to proprietary systems, which canprevent/impede adoption of more appropriatetechnology.

Data plans and service.
