    W SHTEN WHE LTHI N I T I T I V ~

    In Washtenaw County, Michigan, more than 40 provider, payer, safety net, and serviceorganizations have come together to create the Washtenaw Health Initiative (WHI) to helpto improve the health of the low-income, uninsured, and Medicaid recipients in WashtenawCounty. This voluntary, non-governmental collaborative focuses on identifying communityhealth needs, emphasizing primary care over emergency care, and increasing communication,which sho uld lead to better access to quality care in the county.

    The WH I originated in 2010 when a retired health system CEO talked with community leadersabout what the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act ACA) would mean for countyresidents. A 12-member steering committee, chaired by two prominent community leaders,formed to clarify the goals and scope of the initiative and to identify organizations and

    individualsto

    participate. Importantly, leaders from St.Joseph Mercy Health System and theUniversity of Michigan Health System sponsored the initiative, and The Center for HealthcareResearch Transformation CHRT), a nonprofit agency in the community, agreed to facilitatethe effort. The VA Ann Arbor Healthcare System has also joined the collaborative, given thatmany low-income individuals in the county access care both in the VA system and through theprivate health systems.

    The steering committee formed work groups organized around primary care; dental care;mental health and substance use disorders; social determinants of health; and Medicaidoutreach, eligibility, and enro llment. The workgroups acquired local data from safety netproviders, county public health, and other sources to define the current state of access andcare provision for the county s low-income population. From this data, the workgroups draftedrecommendations to address identified gaps. These recommendations resulted in communitybased projects that have enro lled people in Medicaid and other public programs, allowedsliding fee scales at dental clinics, coordinated care across various health systems, and muchmore. An evaluation of the overall initiative and each project is under way, and the workgroupscontinue to add projects as the environment changes and new opportunities are ident ified.

    The WHI would not be possible without the generous and tireless support of our funders andcommunity members:

    November 2012

    Dear Community Partners,

    We are pleased to share with you some of our early successes with the Washtenaw Health Initiative(WHI). The WHI kicked off in January 2011, and over the first two years, we've made a positive impactfor our community members who are Medicaid recipients, are low-income, or lack health insurance .

    A key feature of the WHI is its voluntary nature . As of November 2012, more than 90 people participatevoluntarily in WHI working groups. From July 2011 through June 2012, more than 8,200 hours werededicated to the effort all across the county, from safety net medical and dental clinics to variouscommunity outreach locations . Another key feature ofthe WHI is the facilitation and research supportprovided by the Center for Healthcare Research Transformation .

    The WHI has worked to leverage and coordinate financial and human resources throughout thiscommunity to support the various initiatives . We thank our numerous funders, and especially our twomajor sponsors: St Joseph Mercy Health System and the University of Michigan Health System .

    Next year's work will consist of continuing the planning and pilot project implementation th t has begun,as well as potentially developing new ideas to improve access to coverage and better coordinate carefor our community's most vulnerable.

    Thank you for your participation and support of the Washtenaw Health Initiative. We look forward toworking with you to continue these successes in 2013 and beyond.

    Sincerely,

    Robert Guenzel Norman Herbert

    The Washtenaw Health InitiativeIn late 2010, community leaders agreed on the importance of developing local solutions to theproblems of today while focusing on planning for the future. The Washtenaw Health Initiative(WHI) had its formal start with a planning group meeting in January of 2011, as communityleaders came together to discuss how best to help Washtenaw County plan and prepare forimplementation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010. With thesponsorship of both the University of Michigan Health System and Saint Joseph Mercy HealthSystem, a 12-member steering committee was formed. From January to March 2011, theplanning group expanded to include more than 4 people from multiple communi ty sectorsworking together to assess the state of health care for Medicaid recipients, low-incomeresidents, and the uninsured in the county. By July 2011, this group made recommendations toimprove access and coordination of care for these populations . The WHI has grown from 40participants representing 20 organizations to more than 70 participants from more than 40organizations.

    Community EffortWe are particularly pleased and proud to acknowledge the generous and tireless support of ourfunders and community members . To date, WHI members provided more than 8,200 volunteerhours in support of WHI projects. The WHI received more than 25,000 and another 86,000has been committed by our generous community partners :

    Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation City o f Ann Arbor City o f Yspilanti Individual donors Saint Joseph Mercy Health System University of Michigan Health System Washtenaw County Board of Commissioners Washtenaw County United Way

    We are especially grateful for the University of Michigan Health System and Saint Joseph MercyHealth System, without whose sponsorships we would not succeed.

    Our Goalsith a focus on Washtenaw County's Medicaid recipients, low-income residents and the

    uninsured, the WHI is working toward two major goals for these priority populations:

  • 8/13/2019 Jan. 6 Saline City Council meeting agenda

    53/78

    Increasing and maintaining insurance coverage. Improving access to coordinated, integrated care.

    Additionally, the WHI seeks to be a model and a resource for othe r communities consideringhow best to serve the needs of its most vulnerable citizens.

    Our AccomplishmentsSince inception, the WHI has made considerable progress toward our goals .

    Increasing and Maintaining Coverage

    The WHI found th t approximately 2 700 residents were eligible but not enrolled in Medicaid.To address this, Department of Human Services caseworkers were co-located within theWashtenaw Health Plan offices to streamline eligibility determination and enrollment. As aresult of this new process, more than 1 700 people in our community enrolled in the state s

    Medicaid program for the first time or were able to maintain their coverage with the help ofthese caseworkers. In addition, this program employs two full-t ime AmeriCorps members whodetermined eligibility, enrolled residents for Medicaid and othe r benefits, as well as educatedorganizations about eligibility for benefits at more than 4 0 locations .

    Improving ccess to Coordinated Integrated Care

    The WHI is improving access to care through better coordination and integration of care.Specific accomplishments include: Worked with a major dental plan to clarify policies th t prevented dentists in Washtenaw

    County from using sliding-fee scales for their uninsured patients. This enabled the creationof a new reduced-fee dental program . Since June 2012, six dentists agreed to see low

    income patients using an income-based fee scale. In the first four months of operation, 19patients were enrolled in the program.

    Conducted a detailed analysis of safety net clinics capacity to accommodate new primarycare patients. The project team developed a detailed business case th t is now beingconsidered by the sponsors . The goal is to augment staff in four safety net clinics in thecounty. Once fully integrated , the intent is for these clinicians to handle an estimated15,000 additional primary care visits per year.

    Developed a countywide protocol to streamline the referral process for substance usedetoxification and tre tment process for patients in the safety net setting .

    Developed a pilot program to improve access to primary care providers among those newlyenrolled in Medicaid. This wil l be tested in one safety net clinic in 2013 and includesassessment and referral for social service needs as well as processes to improve thelikelihood of the newly enrolled receiving their first visits with their primary care providerswithin 90 days of enrollment .

    Building a odel for Community Collaboration and Planning

    Additionally, the work of the WHI generated many collaborative activities with WHI partners,demonstrating the synergy th t is occurring in Washtenaw County thanks to this initiative:

  • 8/13/2019 Jan. 6 Saline City Council meeting agenda

    54/78

    Co-wrote and submitted a 10 million Centers for Medicare & Medicaid ServicesInnovation grant in collaboration wi th the University of Michigan Health System and theUniversity of Michigan Depression Center.

    Facilitated connections between Washtenaw County and the Michigan Department ofCommunity Health th t enabled successful submission of a Screening, BriefIntervention, Referral and Treatment grant. This grant will place care managers in localsafety net settings to assist residents struggling with substance use .

    Received several inquiries from other communities to learn more about the WHI andhow they might replicate the effort in their own communities .

    WHI activities have been highlighted in 15 publications .

    ooking headIn just a year and a half, the WHI accomplished a great deal; however, there remains much tobe accomplished. Projects on the horizon include :

    Supporting primary care clinicians in diagnosis, treatment, and management ofdepression symptoms.

    Enhancing the capacity of the dental care safety net to provide acute and on-going carefor uninsured and Medicaid patients.

    Improving care coordination across the county by supporting care and case managersfrom many systems to interact and work together on a regular basis .

    Developing a tool kit for other communities th t wish to implement their own voluntary,community -based efforts.

    Throughout the next year, the WHI will continue to reassess the needs of the community anddevelop additional projects to address emerging needs . We look forward to continuing ourwork improving health care coverage and access to care on behalf of Washtenaw County, andespecially its most vulnerable citizens .
