- 12. Lessons Learned • It is practical and feasible to provide a population based behavioral intervention • It is difficult to integrate behavioral health into a medical setting that itself is poorly integrated • Medical providers need updated training on psychopharmacology to increase competency levels in providing services • Collaboration among local, state, and federal institutions to eliminate barriers for reimbursement for innovate mental health interventions • The use of peers can be helpful in reducing resistance to behavioral health services and support retention efforts • The HIV positive population provides an appropriate outlet to integrate behavioral health and HIV care
- 13. Next Steps • Grant period ends September 2014 • Evaluation efforts have began - CAREWare - Collaboration with CBH - CESD Scores • Effects of the Affordable Care Act and it’s affect on mental health • Program sustainability - Funding - Funding Sources - Program structure - Institutional buy in

- Screened are the number of patients who have received at least one visit from the BHC. 2nd visits are only 2nd visits. Some patients have been seen as many as 8 times by the BHC. Unduplicated referrals is 769 separate individuals referred to ancillary mental health and substance abuse treatment services. Note that at Drexel, there is an on site Psychiatry unit which has proven to be beneficial for that clinic. To date, there have been a total of 62 clients receiving peer recovery services. I If asked about year 1 numbers: 574 Total clients 456 initial visits/screenings 118 2nd visits or more 564 total sessions
- It has been difficult to integrate our model into some of the infectious disease clinics. Essentially our model is changing a culture in the clinics and this change has operated differently at the clinics and has met some challenges. Communication and consultation between medical providers and BHCs is essential to the model and some of the medical providers have not been consistent or interested in providing referrals. Also at some of the academic medical clinics where providers are researchers, they are not fully invested in the clinics themselves.
- The grant period ends at the end of federal fiscal year 2014 (September) with the possibility of an extension. We have began evaluation efforts to determine if our program is effective in providing behavioral health in an HIV clinical setting that can influence improved patient outcomes such as viral load, CD4 count, and linkage to care. We will be using a custom service for BHC in CAREWare to facilitate our efforts in addition to Center for Epidemiology Scale of Depression which is available at two of our clinical sites. Also we are collaborating with CBH so that they grant the authority for behavioral health consulting to be a billable service for Medicaid. It is unforeseen how the implementation of the ACA will influence the sustainability of our project however, it is important to mention. As the ACA will ideally increase access and utilization of health systems, it is possible for funds to be allocated to improve the mental health and substance use infrastructure. We saw this earlier in the week as VP Biden pledged 100 million to mental health in the country. While this is not nearly enough, it is a start.
