The Involvement of Community-based Specialty Mental Health Services in Primary Care: Lessons from the Behavioral Health Home Model in the U.S. for the Integrated Care of Serious Mental Illness in France", written with Beth McGinty. 1.

IRDES publishingBridging the Gap. The Involvement of Community-based Specialty Mental Health Services in Primary Care: Lessons from the Behavioral Health Home Model in the U.S. for the Integrated Care of Serious Mental Illness in France Individuals with serious mental illness (SMI) constitute a specific population with complex physical health needs that remain inadequately addressed, as evidenced by their striking and persistent excess mortality. This situation suggests an inadequacy of existing care delivery models that requires critical transformations to address the fragmentation of somatic and mental healthcare. A possible approach is reverse integrated care systems that deliver or coordinate primary care within community-based specialty mental health (…). The United States is unique in its adoption of this approach over the last ten years as part of the Medicaid behavioral health home model supported by the Affordable Care Act. This issue brief presents the lessons to be learned from evaluations of this model in real-world settings. (…) Some positive impacts have been demonstrated, including more frequent use of primary care and improved detection and monitoring of physical health conditions and their risk factors. However, (…) this type of model requires support through the development of financing models that encourage collaboration and shared responsibility between mental and somatic care professionals, through building workforce capacity within community-based specialty mental health services and through investing in data infrastructure for the collection and exchange of health data. These findings offer valuable insight for France, where similar local initiatives are emerging within CMPs. Schlegel V. (IRDES, Cresppa-CSU) The two five-year pilot programs introduced in Article 51 of the 2018 Social Security Funding Act (Loi de Financement de la Sécurité Sociale, LFSS) -one with additional performance-type payment to improve coordination between hospital and primary care (IPEP, Incitation à une prise en charge partagée), and another one with a lump sum payment scheme for primary care teams for GPs and nurses (PEPS, Paiement en équipe de professionnels de santé en ville)-, allow for pilot experiment that derogate from standard funding and organizational rules for health care delivery organisations. (…) Anchored in the sociological part of the programme of assessment of the experiments aimed at finding alternatives to fee-for-service payments in the context of Article 51 (Évaluation d'expérimentations Article 51 de rémunération alternative à l'acte, Era2), this study is based on interviews conducted with private doctors designated as IPEP or PEPS project leaders. Focusing on their professional careers enables us to understand how they have helped them to take such opportunities and meet the demands of the public authorities. |

Feasibility of identifying people at risk of disability (FISH) using data from the National Health Data System (SNDS). Methods and results of the algorithm for psychic, intellectual or cognitive disorders (PIC) Espagnacq M., Regaert C. (IRDES), in collaboration with Sermet C., Daniel F. (IRDES) This second report on the methodology developed to create an indicator to identify people with limitations in their daily activity based on their healthcare consumption, Feasibility of identifying people at risk of disability (FISH), focuses on the algorithm identifying limitations caused by psychic, intellectual or cognitive disorders (PIC), based on the National Health Data System (Système national des données de santé, SNDS). (...)
From 2012 to 2019, the algorithm identifies 4.5 million people with a proven limitation as a result of a PIC disorder in 2019, i.e. around 6.6% of the population identified in the SNDS and alive in 2019. The majority of people identified have mental disorders alone (2.8 million) or mental disorders accompanied by intellectual or cognitive disorders (1.3 million), and only 266,000 have exclusively intellectual or cognitive disorders. |

English-French Glossary of Health Economics TermsThis online edition of the English-French Glossary of terms, concepts and acronyms in health economics has been reviewed and expanded by the IRDES Publications and Documentation teams. In addition to terms from specialized Anglo-Saxon journals, this edition is based on the English translations of IRDES thematic syntheses, Issues in Health Economics, and on the keywords of the MeSH thesaurus (Medline). It also includes a thematic section that classifies the translated terms according to the disciplines involved (economics, sociology, geography, etc.). The translation of French Institutions on Public Health into English is now integrated into the part: Sigles - Institutions. The Glossary is updated regularly. |
