Behavioral Health Managed Care: A New Perspective on Services 

The inclusion of licensed housing in managed care will be here before you know it. Many providers are already billing managed care for other programs and most are approved to deliver HCBS services. Although licensed housing is currently carved out of behavioral health managed care, all other Medicaid programs are in. With HARPS and HCBS services now state-wide, providers need to look at how their services not only best meet the needs of mental health consumers, but how they fit into the new managed care reimbursement structure. This pre-conference institute will delve into the inclusion of Social Determinants of Care, Trauma Informed Care, and Value Based Payments in the context of delivering behavioral health services in a managed care environment. These are some of the new ways of looking at and delivering services that will make the transition to managed care a success.

Resiliency is frequently discussed as a trait that one either has, or does not have. However, resiliency could more accurately be described as a skill that can be learned, practiced, and built upon. This webinar provides participants with information from some of the research on resiliency while also giving participants concrete practices that will build on the resiliency factors of their service recipients.

Adult BH HCBS Settings Trainings for OMH Rest of State Residential Providers: these trainings were specifically targeted toward residential agency executives and residential program directors who operate housing programs outside of New York City. The trainings occurred in Buffalo (10/19/16), Hudson Valley (10/24/16), Syracuse (10/26/16), and Long Island (11/10/16).

Overview: The New York State Office of Mental Health is undertaking an expedited assessment of various OMH Adult Residential Programs to ensure statewide compliance with the Center for Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMS) Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) Federal Settings Rule. (42 CFR 441.301, et. seq). 

All OMH adult residential providers will be required to complete a HCBS Settings Residential Program Assessment to assist OMH in determining what sites are currently compliant, thus making appropriate residents immediately eligible to receive HCBS. The results of this assessment will identify system-wide challenges and develop timelines needed to achieve compliance. During this training, State partners will provide an in-depth walkthrough of the HCBS Settings Residential Program Assessment and answer questions regarding this process. 

If you have any questions about the settings assessment, please contact:

MCTAC presented at the ASAP Annual Conference, held in Saratoga Springs, NY from October 17th-20th. Presentation descriptions and slides are available below. 

Get Ready for the World of Healthcare - How Does SUD Treatment Impact Whole Health?
Integrated care, in which substance use disorder treatment, mental health treatment and primary care work together as one, is a driving force in reshaping the healthcare delivery system. Joining integrated provider networks can prepare SUD treatment providers for the future. Knowing how to promote the value of SUD treatment within an integrated network will be a critical skill. This workshop defines and describes the co-morbidity of addiction and other chronic health conditions and the potential impact of SUD treatment on whole health.

Continuing Review
Continuing Review is the process by which the need for ongoing care at the current level of care is assessed. This process requires providers and payers to have a common language defining medical necessity and articulating the treatment process and progress. OASAS and the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse (CASA) are adapting the LOCADTR tool to be utilized for this purpose. This workshop will cover some of what is to come with LOCADTR and guide providers on how to prepare their organizations to internally monitor treatment progress and effectively manage the continuing review process.

 
Clinical Reform of Substance Use Disorder Treatment Guideposts for Planning the Service Delivery System of the Future
Improving population health, reducing costs and enhancing the patient experience of care define the Triple Aim. The healthcare system in New York State will make pivotal changes to service delivery that will drive the system towards these goals. Integrated care, a robust ambulatory system and evidence-based care are just some of the changes underway. Join us in this workshop for a discussion about the OASAS vision of the future of SUD treatment, its role in healthcare reform and how you can leverage these changes to your advantage

Summary:

These statewide forums, held in September 2016, reviewed material covered in prior trainings, discussed important updates, and prepared for next steps and upcoming training opportunities. 

Summary:

The unemployment rate is not our biggest problem. Rather, attention must be geared toward the lack of participation in the workforce. Why are many settling for public benefits? This webinar takes an honest look at what we need to do as a community to change this unsettling dynamic. Focusing on poverty, unemployment, and its relationship to mental health, this webinar is a "call to arms" to empower both providers and individuals with lived experience to begin the conversation in the mental health field. Our health depends upon it!

Summary:

The New York State Office of Mental Health and Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services, along with the Health Foundation for Western and Central New York and the Managed Care Technical Assistance Center co-sponsored a conference around the behavioral health vision for Value Based Payments, on Tuesday September 27th in Albany.

The conference included key note speakers from OpenMinds as well as presentations by NYS OMH and OASAS and MCTAC around the vision for value based payments in behavioral health as well as future technical assistance offerings for providers.This training was open to all adult and and child serving NYS behavioral health providers and is geared towards senior leadership and executive management staff. 

Summary:

Resiliency, sometimes discussed as the ability to bounce back, is a skill that can be learned and practiced. When discussing resiliency, attention is typically placed on the resiliency of service recipients. However, high turnover and low job satisfaction ratings are indicators that more could be done to aid in the resiliency of service providers. This interactive webinar allows listeners to have honest discussions around what makes this work so challenging, what evidence-based practices exist to assist in building resiliency, and what it takes to make these changes for oneself.

Summary:

Substantial differences tied to income, age, racial and ethnic disparities play a significant role in impacting voter turnout- even in the most voter-friendly states. There is an important relationship between individual and community well-being and the practice of voting. Voting is an essential responsibility of citizenship and is pivotal to the health of our democracy. When people vote, there are benefits to their communities, including higher levels of civic participation, stronger connections within communities as well as better outcomes for the individual voters to include improved health, social connections, mental health and overall well-being. This webinar discusses how nonprofit human service providers are poised to play a significant role in narrowing the gap in participation in communities that have traditionally been underrepresented- the groups to which social workers often have direct access.

Summary:

The principles of trauma-informed care (TIC) posit that human service organizations must be trauma-informed not just for service recipients, but for the providers as well. Through the use of video case studies, this engaging webinar explored with participants what it means to offer supervision that aligns with a TIC approach. Participants were asked to think critically about what can change not only in the example videos, but in their own work as supervisors and supervisees. They were invited to create an action plan for change towards TIC in supervision practices.

Summary:

A large portion of the population in need of mental health services consists of monolingual Spanish speakers. Oftentimes, Spanish-speaking clients are recent immigrants who may have challenges in finding culturally competent services in their language. Providers may also have difficulties communicating therapeutic concepts in Spanish that were originally learned in English. Therefore, this webinar will explore ways of communicating therapeutic concepts in Spanish while better engaging these clients in services. Providers will have an opportunity to discuss challenges they have experienced and problem-solve solutions. Within this context, issues relevant to this population, such as immigration, trauma, and acculturation, will be discussed to further enhance culturally competent services.
