Substance Use Disorders

Drug Medi-Cal Organized Delivery System (DMC-ODS) 1115 Waiver

By Victor Kogler, Vice President, CIBHS

The California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS), Substance Use DisorderCompliance Division has awarded a contract to the California Institute for Behavioral Health Solutions (CIBHS) to provide training and technical assistance to substance use disorder treatment providers, DHCS and the counties that have opted in to par-ticipation in the Drug Medi-Cal Organized Delivery System (DMC-ODS) 1115 Waiver. The contract start date is January 15, 2016.

The DMC-ODS Waiver will create fundamental changes in the SUD treatment system in California. The field has at last an opportunity to achieve financial and professional parity with other elements of the health care system, not to mention expanding access to SUD treatment. On the other hand, reaching these goals will not be easy.

DHCS’s goal in awarding this contract is to assist counties and providers in successful DMC-ODS Waiver implementation. CIBHS has a deep commitment to advancing the SUD field in California and is honored to be DHCS’s partner in getting the DMC-ODS Waiver off to the best possible start.

Motivational Interviewing Treatment Integrity (MITI)

by Kristin Dempsey, MS, MFT, Senior Associate, CIBHS

CIBHS convened a supervisor-level training in November 2015, in San Francisco on the use of the Motivational Interviewing Treatment Integrity (MITI) 4.2.1 coding instrument. The MITI 4.2.1 is a behavioral coding instrument designed for providing structured feed-back on Motivational Interviewing (MI) fidelity. It evaluates key component processes within MI, including engaging, focusing, evoking and planning. The training was held over two days and focused on the application of the MITI 4.2.1 to improve practice in the clinical setting.

The training was attended by 16 statewide and out-of-state participants with experience in supervising staff on the use of MI in various settings, including public mental health, private health care, and corrections. The trainer, Ali Hall, JD, is an international trainer in MI and the MITI. The training included an effective balance of didactic exercises, vignettes, group coding exercises, and interactive discussion to support and deepen the learning experiences of all participants. Trainees gained clarity on how to use the MITI 4.2.1 manual, definitions of the behavioral count and global codes, differentiation between codes, and how to use the MITI to provide constructive and effective coaching to improve practice in the treatment setting.

For more information about this training or to inquire about bringing a MITI or MI training to your agency, please contact Kristin Dempsey at [email protected]. Training on the new Motivational Interviewing clinical coding tool, the Motivational Interviewing Com-petency Assessment (MICA) is planned for April 2016 in San Francisco. Stay tuned for details regarding location and dates. To learn more about the MICA, go to: http://www.motivationalinterviewing.org/spokane-wa-coding-mica-new-clinical-coding-tool.

SUD Curriculum Forum

by Kristin Dempsey, MS, MFT, Senior Associate, CIBHS

Graduate education in substance use disorder (SUD) treatment can be greatly improved “by engaging the expertise of clients and families as educators of our students, as well as by teaching evidence-based practices that meet the value-based principals of social work and counseling therapy clinical practices.” (Stanford, 2016) These are just two of the important discussion points addressed at the January 13th Substance Use Disorder Curriculum Forum held at the San Francisco State Downtown Campus.

The Greater Bay Area Mental Health and Education Workforce Collaborative sponsored the SUD Curriculum Forum to promote the draft version of a SUD Curriculum Modules designed to integrate SUD treatment into the mainstream graduate psychology, social work and coun-seling curricula. Funded by a Zellerbach Family Foundation grant, the current draft version of the modules were designed based on the input of consumers/family members, behavioral health providers, and faculty members who were able to speak to what they believe is missing from comprehensive substance use disorder and behavioral health treatment.

Substance Use DisordersSUD Curriculum Forum continued...

Analyzing the data collected from such needs assessments, the following modules have been designed to best address the needs of the community:

1. Culture of Addiction2. Engagement3. The Intersection4. Case Management5. Co-Occurring Mental Health & SUDs6. Co-Occurring SUD & Primary Care7. Relapse Prevention8. Family & Community9. Adolescents, Young Adult

One to three hours of teacher material (lectures and activities) have been created for each topic area that can be used by graduate faculty to insert into their current coursework. Addi-tionally, the module creators have created a “crosswalk” index to be used to determine which modules might be most effective for standard treatment courses. For instance, the module on assessment for co-occurring disorders might be used in a standard graduate assessment and diagnosis class. The SUD Forum featured Mark Stanford, PhD, educator and trainer, who spoke to current efforts to mainstream SUD treatment, the need to adopt evidence based SUD treatmentinterventions, effective teaching practices in graduate schools, as well as increasing connec-tions between training institutions and the community. McKinley Williams and Sandra Rivera, recent/current students in behavioral health, discussed their early experiences in integrated care environments, as well as their need for SUD treatment training to assist them in the work. Finally the SUD Curriculum developers, Kristin Dempsey, LMFT, LPCC and Robert Williams, PhD, spoke to the process of curriculum development, early practice with the modules, and current efforts to promote the modules.

The developers of the SUD Module Curriculum are encouraging feedback from those who are reviewing and using the resource. To request a copy of the draft curriculum, contact Kristin Dempsey at [email protected].

The Peer Provider Workforce in Behavioral Health“A Landscape Analysis”

By Kimberly Mayer, MSSW, Associate Director, CIBHS

CIBHS recently completed a one-year study with the UCSF Health Workforce Research Cen-ter, focused on the peer provider workforce in mental health (MH) and substance use disorder (SUD) recovery. This national study funded though HRSA and SAMHSA included case stud-ies of four states that have successfully implemented peer provided services for MH and SUD services that are reimbursed by Medicaid. CIBHS staff, Kimberly Mayer and Victor Kogler, led the CIBHS effort that included site visits to Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania and Georgia. Case studies included interviews and data analysis with state administrators, contracted ser-vice providers and peer providers in the workforce. Among the study team’s findings:

1. Peer providers work in a number of roles in a variety of settings, including, community, residential/in-patient facilities, and forensic settings

2. Medicaid billing authorization is key to the growth of peer provider employment and sus-tainable fundingClass action lawsuits and strong consumer advocacy have expanded be-havioral health access and use of peers

3. The required hours of training, curriculum, and certification vary widely by state4. There are challenges in acceptance from non-peer colleagues and the stigma of lived

experience5. There is little consistent data available on employment numbers and work settings

Engaging people in the use of client portals as an adjunct to their EHRs: Varied functions and user experience Thad Dickson, PMP, CPHIMS, President, Xpio HealthPeople are increasingly using client portals connected to their EHR for improving their access to information on illness prevention and treatment, increased engagement in their treatment plans, and easier access to their treating providers for brief communications. Presenter for this session will review such functions as scheduling, queries with their treatment providers, entry of app information that involves regular self-monitoring of behavioral health data, and review of information updates in their EHRs. He will describe various approaches to engaging consumers in use of the portals including learning what content and formatting consumers find easiest to access and most engaging, and how those using the portals would like to see it improved. Presenter will also review special issues in this area, including how youth access information in their EHRs and what adult clients would like to see in portal functions.

EHR Supports for Meeting Clinical Documentation Requirements in Alcohol/Drug and Mental Health ProgramsStan Taubman, PhD, LCSW, Program Director, Berkeley Training AssociatesTom Trabin, PhD, MSM, Conference Chair; Behavioral Health Informatics and Executive

ConsultantBehavioral health clinicians are challenged to write treatment plans that meet MediCaid requirements and also reflect the client-friendly language of hope and recovery. Substance use counselors will be particularly challenged by this in the very near future as expanded Drug Medicaid coverage will bring increased rigor to documentation requirements. Presenters will explain the complexities of these challenges and both substance use and mental health counselors’ needs for training and support to meet the challenges effectively. Presenters will provide examples of ways that the structure of the treatment plan and extensive sample phrases embedded in the EHR can help substance use and mental health counselors address these needs. They will also describe a 3-year statewide process involving a coalition of 26 counties and hundreds of stakeholders to develop an extensive library of treatment plan phrases—efficiently searchable when computerized—to meet the needs of public sector documentation for mental health, substance use and physical health treatment services.

The Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics initiative: New hope for the future of behavioral health services and its implications for information technology

Ben Butler, Chief Information Officer, Community Oriented Correctional Health ServicesSteve Rosenberg, President, Community Oriented Correctional Health ServicesThe federal Excellence in Mental Health Act is designed to increase Americans’ access to community mental health and substance use treatment services while improving Medicaid reimbursement for these services. When fully implemented, the Excellence Act will infuse over $1 billion into the behavioral health system, making it the biggest federal investment in mental health and addiction services in generations, but it will require new payment models and offer performance bonuses that require new outcomes documentation. Presenters for this session will summarize components of this Act, including criteria for the Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics (CBHCs) that form its core component, the enhanced federal match for service costs , the prospective payment system, and anticipated areas for potential savings to the overall health care system. They will preview the types of EHR and related information technology functions necessary to support the CBHC requirements and help the session participants anticipate and prepare for the challenges and opportunities of this groundbreaking new initiative.

EHR and data entry challenges for providers in a multi-payer environment: Lessons learned and solutions generated from California counties and their providersMark Cheng, Acting Chief, Solutions Delivery Division, LA County DMH Chief Information

Office BureauJuan Fermin, Integration Manager, Solutions Delivery Division, LA County DMH Chief

Information Office BureauChris Howard, IT Manager, Foothill FamilyMost behavioral health treatment providers receive payments from more than one payer, with accompanying and often conflicting requirements for modes of data entry and information exchange. Presenters will explain how subsidized adoption of an EHR from a major payer can be a mixed blessing since the providers must pay for reconfiguring the EHR System to also meet the requirements of multiple other payers. They will describe how some providers are coping successfully with these opportunities and challenges. Among the special case examples, presenters will describe various approaches to electronic information exchange between selected California counties and their contracted providers, including examples of requiring use of a common EHR system and building interfaces between differing EHRs. They will describe how these approaches are used in communicating claim information via HIPAA transactions, transmitting utilization and outcomes data, and conducting chart audits and related quality assurance activities.

Improving treatment outcomes for clients with substance use conditions: Information management tools to support a person-centered approach Julie Seitz, LADC, LSW, Clinical Director, Center for Alcohol and Drug Treatment At the heart of American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) criteria is person-centered care—regularly adjusting the treatment to match the changing needs and situation of the client. The presenter for this session will first review how the initial assessment can be used to determine the most appropriate level of care and type of treatment within a diverse continuum of care. She will then describe how brief screening instruments can be used on an ongoing basis throughout treatment to monitor the quality of the therapeutic alliance and the client’s progress in treatment, and then customize the client’s treatment accordingly. She will explain how information technology tools can provide vital supports for these efforts, streamlining data entry and providing rapid feedback through data-driven reports that help improve client outcomes.
