Background: Psychiatric residential treatment facilities (PRTFs) are non-hospital inpatient treatment settings for children with severe be-havioral health disorders. PRTFs are a restrictive and costly form of care that can potentially be avoided with community-based behavioral health services.

Methods: Statewide Medicaid enrollment and claims data for 2015-2022 were used to describe PRTF utilization in North Carolina. We examined annual episodes of care in PRTFs and compared trends before and during the COVID-19 public health emergency.

Results: From 2015 to 2022, 10,038 children insured by NC Medicaid entered a PRTF across 10,966 episodes of care. In the past five years (2018-2022), care in PRTFs resulted in Medicaid expenditures of over $550 million total, or over $100 million per year. In 2022, 42% of children who entered PRTFs were in foster care and 44% of children were placed in PRTFs outside of North Carolina.

Limitations: The analysis was limited to data collected for administrative purposes.

Conclusions: Current trends indicate an ongoing overrepresentation of children in foster care placed in PRTFs and increased out-of-state PRTF placements. Coordinated efforts in future research, policy, and practice are needed to determine the cause of these trends and iden-tify solutions.

背景:精神病住院治疗设施(PRTFs)是为患有严重行为健康障碍的儿童提供的非住院治疗场所。精神疾病住院治疗机构是一种限制性且成本高昂的治疗方式,而基于社区的行为健康服务则有可能避免这种治疗方式:方法:使用 2015-2022 年全州医疗补助注册和理赔数据来描述北卡罗来纳州 PRTF 的使用情况。我们研究了 PRTF 的年度护理事件,并比较了 COVID-19 公共卫生紧急事件之前和期间的趋势:从 2015 年到 2022 年,有 10,038 名北卡罗来纳州医疗补助计划(NC Medicaid)的参保儿童在 10,966 次护理过程中进入了 PRTF。在过去五年(2018-2022 年)中,PRTF 的护理导致医疗补助支出总额超过 5.5 亿美元,即每年超过 1 亿美元。2022年,42%进入PRTF的儿童处于寄养状态,44%的儿童被安置在北卡罗来纳州以外的PRTF:分析仅限于为行政目的收集的数据:目前的趋势表明,寄养在儿童预防、治疗和康复中心的寄养儿童比例持续偏高,州外儿童预防、治疗和康复中心的安置也在增加。未来的研究、政策和实践需要协调努力,以确定这些趋势的原因并找出解决方案。

Research has consistently shown that there is no safe blood lead level (BLL) for children. Despite progress in lead poisoning prevention, lead exposure remains a persistent threat to the health and neurological development of children. To identify high-risk ZIP codes for use by families and health care providers for the entire state of North Carolina, we developed a risk model using ZIP Code Tabula­tion Area (ZCTA)-level census data. We obtained all available BLL testing data from the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services for the years 2010–2015 via data use agreement. We fit a multivariable regression model with the ZCTA-level mean of log normalized BLLs as the de­pendent variable and ZCTA-level census data for known risk factors of childhood lead exposure as predictors. We used this model to create a priority risk categorization. We organized ZCTAs into 20 quantiles, or priority risk categories, that can be used in local and statewide screening programs. The first six (of 20) quantiles were identified as particularly high-risk areas for childhood lead exposure. Because BLL testing is not universal, the BLL testing data used in this study are likely biased toward those most at risk for lead exposure. This study demonstrates the utility of ZCTA-level census data in identifying high-risk ZIP codes for childhood lead exposure, which can be used to ensure that the highest-risk children are tested in a timely manner. This approach can be replicated to address lead exposure nationally.
研究一致表明,儿童的血铅含量 (BLL) 没有安全值。尽管在预防铅中毒方面取得了进展,但铅暴露仍然对儿童的健康和神经系统发育构成持续威胁。为了确定北卡罗来纳州全境的高风险邮政编码,供家庭和医疗服务提供者使用,我们利用邮政编码表区 (ZCTA) 级人口普查数据开发了一个风险模型。我们通过数据使用协议从北卡罗来纳州卫生与公众服务部获得了 2010-2015 年的所有可用 BLL 检测数据。我们以 ZCTA 级对数归一化 BLL 平均值为因变量,以 ZCTA 级人口普查数据中已知的儿童铅暴露风险因素为预测因子,拟合了一个多变量回归模型。我们使用该模型创建了优先风险分类。我们将 ZCTA 划分为 20 个量级,即优先风险类别,可用于地方和全州范围内的筛查计划。前六个量级(共 20 个量级)被确定为儿童铅暴露的高风险地区。由于 BLL 检测并不普遍,本研究中使用的 BLL 检测数据很可能偏向于铅暴露风险最高的人群。本研究证明了 ZCTA 级人口普查数据在确定儿童铅暴露高风险邮政编码方面的实用性,可用于确保及时对高风险儿童进行检测。这种方法可在全国范围内推广,以解决铅暴露问题。

Efforts to improve population health by being responsive to patients’ social and economic conditions will benefit from care models and technologies that assess and address unmet social needs. In 2019, NCCARE360 launched in North Carolina as the first state­wide digital care coordination network to “close the loop” on referrals between community-based organizations (CBOs), health service providers, and social service agencies. The platform creates a shared network for sending and receiving electronic referrals and track client outcomes. As a case study, we compare NCCARE360 resolution rates for community resource referrals originating from a large integrated health system primarily in Durham County from September 1, 2020, through February 28, 2021. In the first year, COVID-19 Support Ser­vices Program (COVID-SSP) funding was available to reimburse associated CBOs for providing food assistance and case management services. We compared this with the same period the following year after funds had been exhausted. We present frontline implementation experiences and highlight opportunities, challenges, and recommendations for NCCARE360 implementation. Multi-level considerations for individual end users, organizations adopting the platform, and policymakers are presented. Addi­tionally, we find that when COVID-SSP funding was available, more referrals were placed (3,220 cases) and referrals were more likely to be resolved (88% resolution rate) when compared to the same time frame when funds were no longer available (860 cases; 30% resolution rate). These results underscore the importance of reimbursement mechanisms and funding. The examination of referral rates is observational and may not generalize to other contexts. The shift to value-based care is an opportunity to embrace structural solutions to health and social care fragmentation. There is also an opportunity to realize the potential of NCCARE360 and efforts like it to contain costs and improve health outcomes and equity.
通过响应患者的社会和经济状况来改善人口健康的努力将受益于能够评估和解决未满足的社会需求的护理模式和技术。2019 年,NCCARE360 在北卡罗来纳州启动,这是首个全州范围的数字护理协调网络,旨在 "闭环 "社区组织 (CBO)、医疗服务提供者和社会服务机构之间的转介。该平台创建了一个共享网络,用于发送和接收电子转介,并跟踪客户结果。作为一项案例研究,我们比较了 2020 年 9 月 1 日至 2021 年 2 月 28 日期间 NCCARE360 对主要来自达勒姆县大型综合医疗系统的社区资源转介的解决率。在第一年,COVID-19 支持服务计划 (COVID-SSP) 的资金可用于补偿相关社区组织提供的食品援助和个案管理服务。我们将其与资金用尽后的第二年同期进行了比较。我们介绍了一线实施经验,并强调了 NCCARE360 实施过程中的机遇、挑战和建议。我们还介绍了个人最终用户、采用该平台的机构和政策制定者的多层次考虑因素。此外,我们还发现,在 COVID-SSP 资金到位时,与资金不再到位时(860 个案例;30% 的解决率)相比,转介数量更多(3220 个案例),转介更有可能得到解决(88% 的解决率)。这些结果凸显了报销机制和资金的重要性。对转诊率的检查是观察性的,可能无法推广到其他情况。向以价值为基础的医疗保健转变是一个机会,可借以从结构上解决医疗保健和社会护理分散的问题。同时,这也是实现 NCCARE360 以及类似项目在控制成本、改善医疗效果和公平性方面的潜力的机会。

After three years of continuous Medicaid coverage as permitted by COVID-19-related waivers, in 2023 counties had to begin redeterminations of eligibility, “unwinding” this continuous coverage. As unwinding and eligibility determination continues, Medicaid expansion has begun, and county public health leaders are navigating uncertain but exciting waters. Lisa Macon Harrison, MPH, of Granville Vance Public Health, and Joshua Swift, MPH, of Forsyth County Department of Public Health, share their experiences, concerns, and hopes for the future.

NC Medicaid is amid a transformation to value-based care models. The transformation requires the consideration of models that may best serve the 1 in 5 NC Medicaid beneficiaries who are dually enrolled in Medicare. The lack of integration of Medicare and Medicaid administration, financing, and care may contribute to suboptimal health outcomes and care experiences. Integrating Medicare and Medicaid to improve care for dually enrolled individuals requires knowledge of the demographic, eligibility, and enrollment trends, as well as the medical needs of these individuals throughout North Carolina. We performed a cross-sectional analysis of 2019 NC Medicaid administrative enrollment data and 2015–2020 Medicare and Medicaid public use files. Nearly half of North Carolina’s full-benefit dual-eligible (FBDE) population was eligible for Medicare due to disability. About one-third of the FBDE population lost full Medicaid benefits at some point during 2019; of these, 65% were under age 65. Most FBDE beneficiaries were enrolled in Medicaid fee-for-service, with 3.5% enrolled in Community Alternatives Program (CAP) waivers, 2% in Medicaid waivers for beneficiaries with behavioral health or intellectual and developmental disabilities (BH/IDD) or traumatic brain injury (TBI), and 1% in the Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE). Enrollment in Medicare Duals Special Needs Plans (D-SNPs) increased from 7.3% of the FBDE population in 2015 to 32.5% in 2021. This descriptive, cross-sectional evaluation of North Carolina duals may not be generalizable to other time periods and contexts. Medicare-Medicaid integration presents an opportunity to improve the value of care for dual-eligible beneficiaries and aligns with the goals of NC Medicaid transformation. Integration strategies that leverage the current infrastructure may minimize disruption of services for beneficiaries and mitigate the impacts of unstable enrollment, particularly among working-age adults and disabled beneficiaries. The diversity within the dual-eligible populations requires a strategy designed to improve health equity across race, disability, eligibility, geography, and health care needs.
北卡罗来纳州医疗补助计划正在向以价值为基础的护理模式转型。这种转变需要考虑能为五分之一同时参加医疗保险的北卡罗来纳州医疗补助受益人提供最佳服务的模式。医疗保险和医疗补助计划在管理、筹资和护理方面缺乏整合,可能会导致不理想的健康结果和护理体验。要整合医疗保险和医疗补助计划以改善对双重参保者的护理,需要了解北卡罗来纳州的人口统计、资格和参保趋势,以及这些人的医疗需求。我们对 2019 年北卡罗来纳州医疗补助管理注册数据以及 2015-2020 年医疗保险和医疗补助公共使用档案进行了横截面分析。北卡罗来纳州近一半的全福利双重资格 (FBDE) 人口因残疾而有资格参加医疗保险。约三分之一的全福利双符合资格人口在 2019 年的某个时间点失去了全额医疗补助福利;其中 65% 的人年龄在 65 岁以下。大多数 FBDE 受益人参加了医疗补助收费服务,3.5% 的人参加了社区替代计划 (CAP) 减免,2% 的人参加了针对行为健康或智力和发育障碍 (BH/IDD) 或创伤性脑损伤 (TBI) 受益人的医疗补助减免,1% 的人参加了老年人全包护理计划 (PACE)。加入联邦医疗保险双重特殊需求计划(D-SNPs)的人数从 2015 年占 FBDE 人口的 7.3% 增加到 2021 年的 32.5%。这项针对北卡罗来纳州双职工的描述性横截面评估可能无法推广到其他时间段和环境中。医疗保险与医疗补助的整合为提高双重资格受益人的护理价值提供了机会,并与北卡罗来纳州医疗补助转型的目标相一致。利用现有基础设施的整合战略可最大限度地减少对受益人服务的干扰,并减轻不稳定注册的影响,特别是对工作年龄的成年人和残疾受益人的影响。双重资格人群的多样性要求制定一项旨在改善不同种族、残疾、资格、地域和医疗保健需求的健康公平性的战略。

The transformation requires the consideration of models that may best serve the 1 in 5 NC Medicaid beneficiaries who are dually enrolled in Medicare. The lack of integration of Medicare and Medicaid administration, financing, and care may contribute to suboptimal health outcomes and care experiences. Integrating Medicare and Medicaid to improve care for dually enrolled individuals requires knowledge of the demographic, eligibility, and enrollment trends, as well as the medical needs of these individuals throughout North Carolina. We performed a cross-sectional analysis of 2019 NC Medicaid administrative enrollment data and 2015–2020 Medicare and Medicaid public use files. Nearly half of North Carolina’s full-benefit dual-eligible (FBDE) population was eligible for Medicare due to disability.
