Editor's Notes

  • #2 PAM = Patient Activation MeasureMI= Motivational Interviewing
  • #3 WA has three different approaches as part of our learning about ways to work with this population:Seattle and is based in a Area Agency on AgingSW WA and is based in a mental health facilityIncludes clients receiving in-home personal care services
  • #5 Washington is the first state to use the PAM with Medicaid clients.We are just beginning to see some effects of CCM on client activation- details on later slide
  • #6 Coaching for Activation is on the Insignia Health website and can be used by clients as a tutorial or by clinicians for concrete steps in goal setting – related to specific disease condition and level of readinessSeattle area program received intensive training with Susan Butterworth of OHSU and Centers for Health Care Strategies on MI.Training included recorded conversations with feedback from trainers and lots of practice
  • #7 Care managers feel MI has been a “breakthrough” technique for working with chronic care management clients.
  • #8 Note there are similarities between the two systems for the first levels.
  • #9 These next two levels are also essentially the same
  • #10 Stages of change has two additional levels:Termination which acknowledges a stage when a person is comfortable with the changes madeRecyle/Relapse - recognizing movement between levels
  • #11 N= 78 clientsPAM is administered every 4-6 months.The graph hints that something in the time interval moved about 5% more people into the highest readiness category.
  • #12 Specific action steps included trigger identification, problem solving related to the relationship with her daughter, and meeting with the nurse in a safe, neutral setting outside her home.Able to resolve or manage her symptoms with coaching
  • #13 Total number of responses = 1381Level 1 is lowest activation-Level 1: May not yet believe that the patient role is important Level 2: Lacks confidence and knowledge to take action Distribution for these chronic care Medicaid clients is heavy in Levels 1 and 2. This is the opposite of what Insignia has seen in the commercially insured population. The Medicaid population reported here are complex clients with more than one chronic condition.
  • #14 Action Plan: increase his physical activity, manage his pain, lose weightWith coaching at his activation level, he gained enough confidence to accomplish a lot!
