ABSTRACT The 2011 HHS report on multiple chronic conditions highlighted the prevalence, morbidity, and cost associated with clusters of co-occurring chronic conditions, both physical and mental. Collaborative chronic care models (CCMs) are effective in treating chronic medical and mental illnesses at little to no net healthcare cost. To date CCMs have primarily been implemented at the facility level and adopted by larger, public healthcare organizations. However, the vast majority of primary care and behavioral health practices providing commercially insured care are far too small to implement such models. Health plan-level CCMs can address this unmet need. Based on a groundbreaking partnership with Aetna Inc., the goal of this study is to implement a cross-diagnosis CCM designed to improve outcomes for persons with mood disorders with an eye towards developing a business case for a generalizable plan-level CCM for solo or small practices. Mood disorders (depression and bipolar disorder) were identified by Aetna as priority conditions because of their chronic nature and high healthcare costs. While evidence-based care parameters have been well established, quality of medical and psychiatric care and health outcomes are suboptimal for persons with mood disorders. We will conduct a randomized controlled trial of the cross-diagnosis CCM vs. education control among Aetna beneficiaries across the country who were hospitalized for unipolar depression or bipolar disorder and treated in solo or small primary care or behavioral health practices. At hospitalization discharge a total of 172 solo or small practices involving a total of 344 patients will be randomized to one year of outpatient treatment augmented by the CCM or education control. CCM components include care management that will be fully remote from practice venues and patients, implemented by the Aetna care management center in Salt Lake City, provider guideline support, and web-based self-management support (Life Goals program). The primary health outcomes are mood disorder symptoms, health-related quality of life, hospitalizations, and guideline- based mood disorders and cardiometabolic management. Secondary outcomes include determining the provider and organizational factors associated with CCM outcomes and uptake including health IT capacity, cost effectiveness of the CCM compared to education control, and development of a business plan based on empirical data and stakeholder input. This proposed R18 addresses AHRQ's research demonstration and dissemination priorities, particularly around prevention and care management. In addition to this groundbreaking practice-research partnership focused on solo or small practices to further implement CCMs at the health plan level, this study may also lead to the evolution of the business case for cross-diagnosis CCMs in general, and the utility of plan-level panel management and remote e-health technologies, especially with the advent of accountable care organizations and similar initiatives.

摘要 2011年HHS关于多种慢性病的报告强调了患病率、发病率和相关成本。 同时患有一系列慢性疾病，包括身体和精神方面的。合作慢性病护理模式 （CCM）可有效治疗慢性医疗和精神疾病，而净医疗成本很少或没有。迄今 CCM主要在机构层面实施，并被大型公共医疗机构采用 组织的然而，绝大多数初级保健和行为健康实践提供了 商业保险的护理规模太小，无法实施这种模式。健康计划层面的CCM可以解决 这种未满足的需求。基于与Aetna Inc.的开创性合作伙伴关系，本研究的目的是实现 交叉诊断CCM旨在改善情绪障碍患者的预后， 为单独或小型实践制定可推广的计划级CCM的业务案例。情绪障碍 （抑郁症和双相情感障碍）被安泰确定为优先条件，因为他们的慢性性质 以及高昂的医疗费用。虽然循证护理参数已经很好地建立， 对情绪障碍患者的医疗和精神护理及健康结果欠佳。我们将 在Aetna中进行交叉诊断CCM与教育对照的随机对照试验 全国各地因单相抑郁症或双相情感障碍住院并接受治疗的受益人 单独或小型初级保健或行为健康实践。在住院出院时，共有172名单身或 一个小的做法，涉及共344名患者将被随机分配到一年的门诊治疗 通过CCM或教育控制增强。CCM的组成部分包括护理管理， 远离实践场所和患者，由盐湖的安泰护理管理中心实施 城市，供应商指南支持，和基于网络的自我管理支持（生活目标计划）。主 健康结果是情绪障碍症状，健康相关的生活质量，住院治疗，和指南- 基于情绪障碍和心脏代谢管理。次要结果包括确定 与CCM成果和采用相关的提供者和组织因素，包括卫生IT能力， 与教育控制相比，CCM的成本效益，并根据 经验数据和利益攸关方的投入。拟议的R18解决了AHRQ的研究示范问题， 传播优先事项，特别是围绕预防和护理管理。除此之外 开创性的实践研究伙伴关系，专注于单独或小型实践，以进一步实施CCM 在健康计划层面，本研究还可能导致交叉诊断CCM业务案例的演变 一般而言，以及计划级面板管理和远程电子保健技术的实用性，特别是 责任关怀组织和类似倡议的出现。
