Fourth Quarter FY 2014
Performance Measures
BH Collaborative Performance Measures
4th Quarter FY 2014 2
COLLABORATIVE: Children with Improved Level of Functioning at Discharge Strategic Goal: Improve Behavioral Health Services
Measure: Percent of readmission to the same level of care or higher for children or youth
discharged from residential treatment centers and inpatient care.
FY 14 Target: 7.0% HB 2 Measure
FY 14 3rd
& 4th
Quarters combined: 3.2% Annual average: 4.0%
FY 13 Actual: 6.74%
Comments: The statewide entity’s care coordination function changed with the advent of
Centennial Care. The first 6 months of data were generated before Centennial Care was initiated,
when OptumHealth New Mexico (OHNM) managed services for Medicaid and non-Medicaid
benefits. The 3rd
& 4th
quarters are combined and reflect the aggregate data across the four MCOs
in Centennial Care for Medicaid recipients only. Managed Care Fee for Services data are not
included in this report. As an overall FY14 pattern, the number of children discharged from
Residential Care Treatment (RTC) doubled in the second half of the year (from 314 to 622).
However, when compared to the first half of the year, there was a reduction in the percentage of
readmissions to the same or higher levels of care (from 5.4% to 3.2%) . The twelve-month
average of readmissions is 3.95%.
In comparison to FY13 at year end, FY14 year-end data shows a 34.3% increase in overall RTC
discharges (936 vs. 697 discharges) and a 21% decrease in persons readmitted (47 vs. 37
persons). This represents a decrease in readmissions from 6.7% to 4.0%. We will be watching
the Centennial Care data to determine whether the high number of discharges stabilizes because it
impacts the percentage calculations notably. This may be due to ongoing refinements in data
collection for Centennial Care reports during its first year.

data were captured from October 1, 2012 to September 20, 2013. This latest set of data is for 10
months, beginning October 1, 2013 to June 30, 2014. For FY15, an improved methodology is
being explored, and targets may need to be adjusted.
