Behavioral Health Care - Issues in Management 2014 Report of Results Final 3 ...Richard Thoune
- The document discusses behavioral health care issues and management in Jackson County, Michigan based on a provider survey conducted by the Jackson Health Network.
- The survey found that most providers routinely screen for common issues like depression and substance abuse, but less so for others like bipolar disorder and PTSD. Management approaches varied by diagnosis, with providers more comfortable treating minor issues themselves and preferring co-management or referral for more serious conditions.
- Screening rates among pediatric patients were generally lower than adults for similar conditions. Management of pediatric patients also differed from adults, with providers more reliant on co-management or referral across most behavioral health diagnoses in children.
Characteristics and Outcomes of Adult Opiate Users in Abstinence-Based Resid...Siobhan Morse
Prior research in this population suggests that, overall, opiate and non-opiate addicted users have different issues and ought to be treated differently for their addiction—and that young and older adult opiate users present at treatment with different issues. This study investigated what significant differences in treatment motivation, length and outcome, if any, exist between opiate and non-opiate users and further investigates young adult (18-25 years of age) and older adult (26 and older) opiate users and the impact of any differences. Data for this study was drawn from 1972 individuals who entered voluntary, private, residential drug treatment and rehab. Study measures included the Addiction Severity Index (ASI), the Treatment Service Review (TSR), and the University of Rhode Island Change Assessment (URICA). Interviews were conducted at program intake and six-months post-discharge. Implications for addiction treatment providers and planners are discussed.
This document summarizes a presentation on the evidence base for opioid addiction treatment and the ASAM Criteria. It discusses how the ASAM Criteria provide a standardized system for determining the appropriate level of care for patients based on six dimensions. Studies show the ASAM Criteria have predictive and concurrent validity in placing patients into the appropriate level of care and predicting outcomes like treatment completion and substance use. The ASAM Criteria are also widely used in the US with over half of treatment programs reporting their use.
PCOMS and an Acute Care Inpatient Unit: Quality Improvement and Reduced Readm...Barry Duncan
High psychiatric readmission rates continue while evidence suggests that care is not perceived by patients as “patient centered.” Research has focused on aftercare strategies with little attention to the inpatient treatment itself as an intervention to reduce readmission rates. Quality improvement strategies based on patient-centered care may offer an alternative. We evaluated outcomes and readmission rates using a benchmarking methodology with a naturalistic data set from an inpatient psychiatric facility (N 2,247) that used a quality-improvement strategy called systematic patient feedback. A systematic patient feedback system, the Partners for Change Outcome Management System (PCOMS), was used. Overall pre-post effect sizes were d 1.33 and d 1.38 for patients diagnosed with a mood
disorder. These effect sizes were statistically equivalent to RCT benchmarks for feedback and depression.
Readmission rates were 6.1% (30 days), 9.5% (60 days), and 16.4% (180 days), all lower than national benchmarks. We also found that patients who achieved clinically significant treatment outcomes were less likely to be readmitted. We tentatively suggest that a focus on real-time patient outcomes as well as care that is “patient centered” may provide lower readmission rates.

Antiretroviral Medication Adherence
The document summarizes evidence and recommendations for improving adherence to antiretroviral (ART) medication. It discusses how adherence is critical for treatment success and preventing HIV transmission. Current adherence levels tend to be suboptimal, around 50-60% on average. Key factors that influence adherence include treatment regimen complexity, mental health issues, social support, and the patient-provider relationship. The evidence shows that adherence interventions can effectively improve adherence when they address knowledge, barriers, medication management skills, and provide ongoing support. The recommendations focus on assessing and addressing individual patient barriers, simplifying treatment regimens, maintaining open communication, and involving adherence support teams.
Factors that Influence Adherence to HAART - Naicker MHmichaela naicker
The document summarizes factors that influence adherence to highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) based on interviews with 13 HIV-positive individuals in South Africa. Key factors identified include: social support from family and friends which positively influences adherence; socioeconomic challenges like poverty, transportation costs, and unemployment which negatively impact adherence; and healthcare provider factors where public clinics raised privacy concerns but private providers offered more support and counseling. Disease symptoms and stigma also influence individual medication adherence. Overall, the study found social, economic, healthcare, personal, and treatment-related factors all play a role in levels of adherence.

Association of an Educational Program in Mindful Communication With Burnout, ...DAVID MALAM
This document summarizes a study that evaluated the effectiveness of an educational program in mindful communication for primary care physicians. The program included mindfulness meditation, narrative exercises, and appreciative inquiry techniques. It was associated with short-term and sustained improvements in physician well-being, burnout, empathy, mood, and personality factors related to patient-centered care. However, the before-and-after study design limits conclusions about the causal effects of the intervention. Randomized trials with larger and more diverse groups of physicians are needed to validate these preliminary findings.
This study surveyed administrators and clinicians from substance abuse treatment programs and state health departments across the US to examine screening, evaluation and treatment practices for HIV/AIDS, hepatitis C, and sexually transmitted infections. Over 269 administrators and 1,723 clinicians from 95 treatment programs in 26 states responded. Preliminary results on program characteristics and services available are presented. The goal is to identify best practices and opportunities for improving infection-related care in substance abuse treatment.
This study examined factors associated with people who inject drugs (PWID) receiving injection assistance from others in Los Angeles and San Francisco between 2011-2013. The sample included 777 active PWID, defined as injecting in the last 30 days. 23% reported receiving injection assistance in the last 30 days. Multivariate analysis found that occasionally injecting with others, being injected by another at first injection, non-injection methamphetamine use, providing injection assistance to others, and having a casual sex partner who is a PWID were independently associated with receiving injection assistance. Receiving assistance could elevate risks of transmitting HIV and HCV. Interventions may need to provide safer injection training or alternative administration methods for those needing assistance.
Recovery from Addictions in Healthcare workers - by Ann Sparks (research synt...Ann Hinnen Sparks
This document provides background information for a proposed qualitative study examining the experiences and perceptions of healthcare practitioners in long-term recovery from addiction. The study aims to understand how perceptions of stigma, social support, and spirituality change throughout the recovery process. 18 participants who entered non-punitive recovery programs at least 5 years prior will be interviewed. Modeling and Role Modeling theory guides the study by taking a holistic, client-centered approach. Key concepts of stigma, social support, and spirituality are defined. The proposed method is a phenomenological analysis of interviews to identify themes in practitioners' recovery journeys and how their views have changed over time.

Imperatives for psychiatric education and leadershipNarirat Pinkul
1) The number of cancer survivors in the US is currently over 15 million and expected to exceed 20 million by 2026. Many cancer survivors experience psychiatric issues like adjustment disorder, cognitive changes, pain, sexual dysfunction, depression, and anxiety.
2) There is currently a shortage of psychiatrists trained to care for the growing population of cancer survivors. While some specialties receive some training in behavioral health, it is not mandatory and overall training capacity is limited.
3) Most psychiatric residents are not well prepared to treat cancer survivors upon graduation, as training requirements do not guarantee experience with cancer patients. The article proposes ways to better prepare trainees through expanded curricula and clinical experiences focused on psychiatric issues in cancer care.

The document summarizes a literature review on stigma and biases among clinicians toward patients with borderline personality disorder (BPD). It discusses two main themes: biases among clinicians prevent adequate treatment for BPD patients, and lack of education and training for clinicians perpetuates misunderstanding of the disorder. The review assessed papers documenting clinician stigma and lack of treatment and resources for BPD patients. It recommends developing comprehensive training programs for clinicians to alleviate fears and educate them on treatment options.
This document summarizes a presentation on current issues in HIV research with transgender populations. It begins with definitions of key terms related to gender identity. It then discusses challenges in collecting data on transgender populations, such as which individuals should be counted. The presentation notes that transgender women face disproportionately high rates of HIV compared to other groups. Barriers to healthcare and gender affirmation for transgender women are discussed as drivers of HIV risk. Research gaps are identified, such as understanding HIV risk for transgender men and developing trans-inclusive PrEP implementation. The presentation concludes by emphasizing the importance of research to address HIV disparities among transgender individuals.
Communication with Latino Patients--Improving Medical and Nursing Educationjnmeeha
This document summarizes a study that developed and tested an instrument called the MaNSRT to measure medical and nursing students' readiness to treat Latino patients. Focus groups and two pilot tests of the survey informed revisions to improve its ability to assess students' cultural knowledge, attitudes, language skills and experience related to caring for Latino patients. Results from the pilots showed students have variable ability to communicate effectively with Latino patients and limited cultural competence training. The final MaNSRT survey is being implemented with 1,500 students to further evaluate their preparation to address healthcare disparities experienced by Latino populations.
The document provides an overview of the ASAM (American Society of Addiction Medicine) model for assessing patients and determining appropriate levels of care for substance use treatment. It describes the six dimensions that are used to evaluate patients' needs, including intoxication/withdrawal, medical conditions, mental health, motivation, relapse risk, and social environment. Treatment is individualized based on a patient's severity levels across these dimensions. The document also outlines the five basic levels of substance use treatment in the ASAM model, from outpatient to inpatient care. It emphasizes that treatment planning involves ongoing reassessment of patient needs and progress.
Social workers currently do not have the authority to prescribe or administer medication, though they play an important role in medication management and adherence. Some other non-physician professions, like psychologists, have begun gaining limited prescribing privileges. This document discusses the expanding roles of social workers in medication management, reviews new laws allowing prescribing by psychologists in New Mexico and Louisiana, and raises questions about whether social work should also pursue prescribing privileges.
Dual diagnosis occurs when a person has both a substance abuse disorder and a mental health disorder. Treating both conditions is necessary for recovery, which typically involves detoxification followed by rehabilitation for substance abuse and treatment for the mental health disorder. Over half of those with substance abuse or dependence have also experienced a mental health disorder at some point. Integrated treatment programs that address substance abuse, psychiatric symptoms, and other issues like housing, employment, legal concerns, and family/medical problems are recommended for those with dual diagnoses.

The document discusses the role of physicians in controlling rising healthcare costs in the United States. It outlines three scenarios: 1) physicians do nothing and costs continue to rise, 2) healthcare is rationed, and 3) physicians take the lead in identifying and eliminating waste. The author proposes a process to measure waste by reviewing medical records and classifying services as inappropriate, equivocal, appropriate, or necessary. Estimating waste in high performing hospitals could provide a rough measure of potential savings from eliminating wasteful services. Physicians must agree on the magnitude of clinical waste in order to influence the healthcare cost debate and identify strategies to reduce waste.

Abstract
Aims
The comorbidity of mental disorders and substance dependence is well-documented, but prospective investigations in community samples are rare. This investigation examines the role of primary mental disorders as risk factors for the later onset of nicotine, alcohol and illicit drug use, abuse, and dependence with abuse.
Design
The NCS was a nationally representative survey of mental and substance disorders in the US carried out in 1990 1992. The NCS-2 re-interviewed a probability sub-sample of NCS respondents in 2001-2 ...
This study examined the relationship between risk of future crime/violence and mental health status/co-occurring disorders in 2,077 probationers in Tarrant County, Texas. Screening tools assessed substance use, mental health disorders, and risk levels. Probationers with co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders had significantly higher risk of future crime than those with only one disorder or no disorders. Treating both substance use and mental health issues is important for reducing recidivism in this population.

Abstract
Aims
The comorbidity of mental disorders and substance dependence is well-documented, but prospective investigations in community samples are rare. This investigation examines the role of primary mental disorders as risk factors for the later onset of nicotine, alcohol and illicit drug use, abuse, and dependence with abuse.
Design
The NCS was a nationally representative survey of mental and substance disorders in the US carried out in 1990 1992. The NCS-2 re-interviewed a probability sub-sample of NCS respondents in 2001-2 ...
This study examined the relationship between risk of future crime/violence and mental health status/co-occurring disorders in 2,077 probationers in Tarrant County, Texas. Screening tools assessed substance use, mental health disorders, and risk levels. Probationers with co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders had significantly higher risk of future crime than those with only one disorder or no disorders. Treating both substance use and mental health issues is important for reducing recidivism in this population.
Cadth 2015 e2 miller cadth-ohtac approach-april 14, 2015CADTH Symposium
This document discusses improving how non-drug technologies are appraised in Ontario by revising the decision-making framework. It summarizes work done by various committees and working groups since 2007 to operationalize ethics and social values in the appraisal process. This includes identifying core social values, developing evaluative questions related to equity, patient-centered care and other domains, and proposing a methodology for systematic, evidence-based analysis of ethics and social values issues. The goal is to fully integrate such analyses into the technology appraisal process to make recommendations more responsive to patient and societal considerations.

The Evaluative Criteria
The process of analyzing a healthcare plan to see if it meets its goals takes some time. Because it promotes an evidence-based approach, assessment is crucial in practice consignment. Evaluation can be used to assess the effectiveness of the research. It helps determine what changes could be recommended to improve service delivery and the study's persuasiveness. An impact evaluation analyzes the intervention's direct and indirect, positive and negative, planned and unplanned consequences. If an evaluation fails to deliver fresh recognition regularly, it may result in inaccurate results and conclusions. A healthcare practitioner can utilize the indicators or variables to evaluate programs and determine whether they are legal or not (Dash et al., 2019). The variables are also used to assess if the mediation is on track to meet its objectives and obligations. Participation rates, prevalence, and individual behaviors are among the measures to be addressed.
Individual behaviors are actions taken by individuals to improve their health. People have been denied the assistance and resources they seek because of ethics and plans. In addition, different people have varied perspectives about pressure ulcers treatment. Relevance refers to how the study may contribute to a worthwhile cause (Li et al., 2019). Quality variables give statistics on the precariously rising service consignment while also attempting to provide information on the part of the care that may be changed. The participation rate refers to the total number of people participating in the study.
On the other hand, individuals may be unable to engage in the study due to a lack of cultural knowledge and ineffective consent processes. The overall number of persons in a population who have a health disease at a given time is referred to as prevalence (Li et al., 2019). Although prevalence shows the rate at which new facts arrive, it aids in determining the suitable, complete outcome-positive prestige of people.
Research Approaches
The word "research approaches" refers to techniques and procedures to draw general conclusions concerning data collection, analysis, and explanation methods. In my research, I'll employ both quantitative and qualitative methods. A qualitative research technique will reveal deterrents and hindrances to practicing change by rationalizing the reasons behind specific demeanors (Li et al., 2019). Qualitative research will collect and evaluate non-numerical data to comprehend perspectives or opinions. It will also be utilized to learn everything there is to know about a subject or to develop new research ideologies.
The quantitative method focuses on goal data and statistical or numerical analysis of data collected through a questionnaire. In the healthcare field, quantitative research may develop and execute new or enhanced work meas ...
The Partners for Change Outcome Management System: Duncan & Reese, 2015Barry Duncan
Despite overall psychotherapy efficacy (Lambert, 2013), many clients do not benefit (Reese, Duncan, Bohanske, Owen, & Minami, 2014), dropouts are a problem (Swift & Greenberg, 2012), and therapists vary significantly in success rates (Baldwin & Imel, 2013), are poor judges of negative outcomes (Chapman et al., 2012), and grossly overestimate their effectiveness (Walfish, McAlister, O'Donnell, & Lambert, 2012). Systematic client feedback offers one solution (Duncan, 2014). Several feedback systems have emerged (Castonguay, Barkham, Lutz, & McAleavey, 2013), but only two have randomized clinical trial support and are included in the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration’s National Registry of Evidence based Programs and Practices: The Outcome Questionnaire-45.2 System (Lambert, 2010) and the Partners for Change Outcome Management System (PCOMS; Duncan, 2012). This article presents the current status of the Partners for Change Outcome Management System, the psychometrics of the PCOMS measures, its empirical support, and its clinical and training applications. Future directions and implications of PCOMS research, training, and practice are detailed. Finally, we propose that systematic feedback offers a way, via large scale data collection, to re-prioritize what matters to psychotherapy outcome, reclaim our empirically validated core values and identity, and change the conversation from a medical model dominated discourse to a more scientific, relational perspective.
An Interprofessional Approach to Substance Abuse in Primary CareASAMPUBS

Anorexia Nervosa Treatment A Systematic Review Of Randomized Controlled TrialsLisa Graves
This systematic review examined evidence from randomized controlled trials on the treatment of anorexia nervosa. The review identified 32 treatment studies and rated the quality. The evidence for medication treatments and behavioral treatments for adults with anorexia nervosa was found to be sparse and inconclusive. Variants of family therapy were shown to be efficacious for adolescents with anorexia nervosa, but not for adults. Overall, the review concluded that the evidence for anorexia nervosa treatment is weak due to small sample sizes, lack of standard outcome measures, high dropout rates, and lack of evidence examining differential outcomes based on sociodemographic factors.
PCOMS: A Viable Quality Improvement Strategy for Public Behavioral HealthBarry Duncan
This is the latest from the research team of the Heart and Soul of Change Project, published in the Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology. This study demonstrated that PCOMS is not only a viable quality improvement strategy but also that services to the poor and disenfranchised provided in a public behavioral setting, contrary to earlier research, can be as effective as those delivered in randomized clinical trials.
This document discusses patient-centered care and behavioral medicine in primary care. It covers several key points:
- Understanding diverse patient populations and how they perceive health and illness. This includes taking cultural factors like race, gender, socioeconomic status and health literacy into consideration.
- Developing skills like effective communication, providing culturally-sensitive assessments and interventions, and addressing barriers to patient adherence.
- Common factors that influence medication adherence such as health system challenges, patient health conditions and literacy, complexity of treatment regimens, and social/economic issues. Limited health literacy is strongly associated with lower levels of medication adherence and health knowledge.
- Strategies providers can use to improve adherence, including assessing literacy levels
User violence in mental health services. adaptation of an instrument (habs-u-mh)David Pina
Background/Objetive
According to the World Health Organization, one out of every four violent workplace acts
takes place in the health setting. The aims of the study are to adapt the Healthcare-workers’
Aggressive Behavior Scale-Users (HABS-U) to mental health professionals, to establish the
frequency of exposure to hostile indicators and to determine which professional group is
most exposed.
Method
Study through qualitative and quantitative methodology in MH professionals of the Region
of Murcia (Spain). In the qualitative phase, 12 in-depth interviews were conducted, and during
the quantitative phase, the instrument was applied to 359 professionals of Mental Health
Services (MHS).
Results
Non-medical and nursing staff were found to be the professional group most exposed, as
well as Brief Psychiatric Inpatient and Medium-Stay Inpatient Services.
Conclusion
The resulting scale shows excellent psychometric properties. The distribution of user violence
is not homogeneous among the different professional groups of MHS. The adaptation
of the scale may be useful to detect user violence, as well as to evaluate the efficacy of intervention
programs.

This document discusses three projects in North Carolina aimed at reducing harm from prescription drug abuse: 1) Identifying prescribers who prescribe very high levels of controlled substances using PDMP data and algorithms, in partnership with state agencies and the medical board. 2) Identifying prescribers with multiple patients who died from opioid-related overdoses. 3) Providing immediate feedback to prescribers on high-risk patients through electronic health records integrated with PDMP data, in partnership with health systems. The goals are to develop valid methods to identify problematic prescribing patterns using multiple data sources and address technical and policy hurdles to information sharing.
The document discusses patient-centered care and behavioral medicine in primary care. It covers several key areas: (1) understanding diverse patient cultures and beliefs around health; (2) improving communication methods to address low health literacy and non-adherence; and (3) using tools to assess health literacy levels and medication adherence given their relationship to health outcomes. The goal is for healthcare providers to incorporate cultural competence and address common barriers in order to improve patient experiences and compliance.
ADHD medication and substance related problemsHasan Ismail
This study used a large U.S. health claims database to examine the association between ADHD medication treatment and substance-related problems. The results showed that: 1) ADHD patients were more likely to experience substance issues than controls, but medication reduced this risk; 2) Patients had lower odds of substance problems during months taking medication; and 3) Male patients on long-term medication had lower substance risk, though benefits were less clear for females. The study provides evidence that ADHD medication does not increase, and may decrease, risks of substance problems.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
