Learning Assessment
• A learning assessment is required for CE credit.
• A question and answer period will be conducted at the end of this presentation.
CoACH Origins
• Prescription for Health/ACT/SHAPE • Work with practices to determine the cost of integrating to determine a global payment • CoACH automates this process and provide a tool for interested practices to determine financial factors and workflow associated with integration activities
Developed by multidisciplinary team
– Psychology – Public Health – Economics – Actuarial Science – Biostatistics – Integrated Primary Care Practices • Input from primary care providers, behavioral health providers, practice managers, medical assistants, front desk staff, CFOs, administrators
CoACH: Cost Assessment of Collaborative Healthcare • On-line tool to determine the estimated incremental expenditure of integrating behavioral health and primary care. • Practices are asked to work with others in their organization for improved accuracy of estimates. • Practices receive: • an estimated incremental expenditure to complete the work proposed • the building blocks for an accurate and adjustable workflow • average reimbursed amounts across payer types based on the Colorado APCD data by month and year
Some information CoACH requires
• Payer mix percentages by practice • Estimations for FTE of involved personnel • Average monthly mid-point salaries and benefits • Number of patients in the practice • Types of collaborative or integrated care activities the practice currently does or plans to do • Estimated time per week providers and staff participate in integrated care activities
Tips for Completing CoACH
• CoACH can be paused and returned to using a link sent to the email address practices provide. • Working with a team to complete CoACH can help improve accuracy input regarding integration activities, personnel responsible for activities, and activity time approximations.
Policy Implications
• All participants in the health care system need objective, evidence-based information to make critical decisions about how to allocate health care resources .
