[PC-BH-Integration] Bio/Psycho/Social Assessment inIntegratedHealthcare settings and Treatment Plan Templates

[Mike Lardiere]

This is actually getting close to a comprehensive assessment and would suggest also looking at Medicare regs and Joint Commission Ambulatory Guidelines and add what is missing.  E.g. no indication of Domestic Violence assessment, assessment sexual violence (either victim or perpetrator), veterans status, risky sexual behavior etc.

Combining all of these can get us to a complete assessment.

Thanks

Here is another document that might be helpful as it moves the conversation from not only screening tools (paper) but towards some universally accepted metrics thatcan be integrated into electronic records to measure over time.

We use an augmented version of the Sheehan Disability Scare which is a
1-10 scale measuring perceived function in social, work and family sectors.

We have had much success with offering a behavioral health screening packet to our initial intake process that includes the DUKE, AUDIT, DAST, PC-PTSD, PHQ9, GAD7 and an assessment of "perceived" function screeners.  On follow up visits we use the PHQ9 and GAD7 as our "mental health blood pressure" measures.  That being said, the most accurate measure for our clinic over time seems to have been the "perceived function measure" more so than any of the other standardized tools such as the PHQ and GAD.

Shauna (and all):

A few thoughts in reply to your question below:


 1.  Although each agency should evaluate the value of particular instruments for its use there is also value in working toward some standardization of tools across integrated settings. For example, the
PHQ-9 is probably the most widely used depression screening (can be downloaded and used at no cost here http://www.healthteamworks.org/guidelines/depression.html), AUDIT is highly valued for problem drinking assessment, the Bipolar Disorder Questionnaire (BDQ) for that condition;  2.  Healthworks (formerly Colorado Clinical Guidelines Collaborative) has an interesting and well thought out guideline for systematic depression treatment which can be downloaded from their website as well (see link above). I like this type of stepwise guideline in that it is clear, specific and relatively brief;  3.  Texas Medication Algorithms Project (TMAP) provides reasonably succinct treatment guidelines for a number of BH conditions including psychotic disorders;  4.  An example of an interesting, brief, automated and multi-factoral screening tool and process that is being used in some health centers with good satisfaction can be found by going to this website: http://chc.patienttools.com/default.asp and then clicking the "How it Works" link to the left.

I'm not necessarily recommending or endorsing these particular instruments but am suggesting that they are good examples of tools that seem to work well in integrated primary care settings in that they are brief, specific, directive, easy to implement, usually free and can be scored and results made available to clinicians "on the spot."

Good Afternoon Everyone,

We have recently received some requests for examples of assessment tools and treatment planning tools that organizations are using in integrated healthcare settings.  We have been asked for examples from both types of settings whether located in an FQHC or Primary Care setting and those in a Community Mental Health Center

Some feedback we have been receiving is that in the bi-directional integration from the CMHC setting into the FQHC/Primary Care setting the existing Treatment Plans and Assessment Tools are quite long and do not necessarily fit well into the short term, solution focused setting for providing the Mental Health service.

If anyone has examples of these two tools that have passed the necessary accreditation and CMS reviews, they would be willing to share with the broader community it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much for your assistance.
