members of the care team. • A Care Manager connects the care providers and coordinates referrals and access to
the services a members requires.
• A mutually agreed upon Care Plan (goals) address the patient’s medical, behavioral health and social service needs.

Disconnections with clients and providers
Clients: -The care managers purpose is to focus on
psychosocial needs such as transportation, housing, and entitlements, the clinical goals of care coordination are seen as secondary.
- The care manager must establish a
relationship so that clients understand the holistic approach to care and gradually incorporate clinical goals as priorities without making the patient feel the care manager is not understanding there needs.
Providers:
Communication with Care Managers takes away from the time they need to provide direct services
Health Homes can make bulk referrals
to clinical agencies after a linkage or partnership is formed
The Mystical Care Plan is an administrative burden
that holds no value….
Barriers to Collaboration
• HIPAA rights are vital to protecting patients PHI and they are important … however, providers often misunderstand HIPAA regulations… as they relate to care coordination and the NYS Health Home Consent.
Early data across New York State shows: o 14 %increase in primary care visits o 23 % decrease in hospital admissions and emergency
department visits.
Health Homes provide: o Connectivity between providers o Increase compliance with patient care plans o The staff connect the patient to additional services o Support in medication management and compliance o Psycho-social supports to improve patient outcomes
Despite it ALL!!!! Positive Outcomes
Requirements o Medicaid o Two or more chronic conditions or one qualifying (HIV, SMI)
