Book excerpt: The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), Office of Rural Health Policy (ORHP) coordinates activities related to rural health care within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. ORHP has department-wide responsibility for analyzing the possible effects of policy decisions on 62 million residents of rural communities. ORHP was created by Section 711 of the Social Security Act to advise the Secretary of Health and Human Services on health issues within rural communities, including the effects of Medicare and Medicaid on rural citizens' access to care, the viability of rural hospitals, and the availability of physicians and other health professionals. ORHP administers grant programs designed to build health care capacity at both the local and State levels. This book allows rural behavioral health programs to learn from information gathered in a 2008 study examining the barriers to evaluating programs in rural and frontier behavioral health. The book identifies innovative rural programs (i.e., sets of practices, activities, and strategies), and uses the results to suggest basic tools for rural organizations to embark upon the steps necessary to move a program that is perceived to be effective into a promising practice.

Download or read book Best Practices in Rural Medicaid Managed Behavioral Health written by David Hartley (Ph.D.) and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: OVERVIEW: Most states are currently enrolling some or all of their Medicaid population in managed care, and many are choosing to separate the financing and management of mental health from physical health benefits. These arrangements are often referred to as mental health carve-outs. In 1997, staff at the Maine Rural Health Research Center completed a study of six rural states that had implemented managed mental health in their Medicaid programs. One major finding of that study was that states have not taken advantage of the experience of other states as they implement these programs (Lambert et al, 1998). With this series of papers, we hope to encourage states that are designing or modifying their Medicaid mental health programs to consider the "best practices" of other states. These papers are designed to develop practical and useful guidance for states and managed behavioral health firms on approaches and strategies for addressing the special needs and circumstances associated with implementing a mental health carve-out in rural areas. While managed behavioral health raises many of the same concerns currently being raised about managed medical care, such as provider choice, use of financial incentives to limit appropriate care, and interference with the physician-patient relationship, this series of papers is narrowly focused on those issues with a unique rural element. In our previous study, we identified several such issues. After consulting with national experts in the field of managed behavioral health, we selected four topics for inclusion in this series. Since insufficient access to a wide variety of services has been a constant theme in rural studies, and access to mental health providers has been especially hard to achieve, we begin the series with "Measuring and Monitoring Access". Those who read all four papers will find that access and under supply of providers and services are mentioned throughout the series. Similarly, the significant role of primary care practitioners in providing mental health services in the absence of mental health specialty providers is a recurring theme in this series. These recurring themes have resulted in some repetition in the series. Since some readers may not read the entire series, we feel that such redundancy is unavoidable. Each paper can be read as a separate piece. In each paper the authors have presented some background material by way of indicating what problems exist and why this topic was chosen for the series. We then present "best practices", specific programs, policies or practices that are currently being used in one or more states to address those problems. In many cases, the interviews and research conducted by the authors turned up practices that are being considered or recommended in one or more states. We have labeled these "recommended practices" because they have not yet been tried and proven, but appear promising. Because managed behavioral health is relatively new to Medicaid programs, neither our best practices nor our recommended practices have been rigorously evaluated. Several of the states cited in these papers for their best practices are having their practices formally evaluated as required for 1115 demonstration waivers. As results of those evaluations become available, our recommendations may be modified. On the other hand, early results of evaluations have not been directed toward rural issues. It is our hope that Program Directors, policy makers, and practitioners can make use of the information in these papers, in the absence of rural-focused evaluation results. Such users may wish to contact the respective authors for the most current information on a specific practice. We expect that these programs will continue to be works in progress, with constant innovation and modification to meet the changing needs of Medicaid enrollees, and to respond to other policy initiatives such as welfare reforms, children's health insurance plans (CHIPs), and other legislative, organizational, and financing changes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook offers a comprehensive overview of school mental health (SMH) initiatives in rural areas in the United States. It offers clinical and administrative guidelines for innovative and effective programs addressing critical problems among rural youth and in areas where funding and resources are scarce. Chapters cover program development, implementation, sustainability, and evaluation; consider issues of community and policy support; address barriers to access and delivery; and debunk misconceptions about the region and its cultures. Chapters also discuss rural SMH applications relating to special populations, including students with autism, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, conduct disorders, and ADHD. In addition, the book examines the potential of school-based programs as a counter to the stigma and distrust of mental health services common to the region. “/div>Topics featured in the Handbook include: The value of rural SMH from an educator’s standpoint. Preventing suicide among students in rural schools. Substance abuse in rural school settings. Bullying and cyberbully among rural youth. Intergenerational patterns of mental illness in rural settings and their relevance for SMH. The importance of involving communities in culturally competent rural interventions. The Handbook of Rural School Mental Health is a must-have resource for researchers, scientist-practitioners, and graduate students in child and school psychology, educational psychology, social work/counseling, educational policymakers, pediatrics/school nursing, teaching, and teacher education.div

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive overview of mental health in rural America, with the goal of fostering urgently needed research and honest conversations about providing accessible, culturally competent mental health care to rural populations.

It ends with practical information and treatments for two of the most common problems, suicide and substance abuse, and a brief exploration of collaborative possibilities in rural mental health care.

This book was released on 2019-11-19 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Community-based behavioral health providers and systems have an essential role in serving individuals with mental and substance use disorders who are currently or formerly involved with the criminal justice system. These individuals are a part of every community, and as for all community members with behavioral health needs, individualized, integrated, comprehensive, coordinated, and continuous service is the standard of care. Individuals with behavioral health issues are overrepresented in jails and prisons across the United States.1 Most of these individuals return to their communities, families, and social networks and subsequently require community-based behavioral and physical health care services. Research has shown that mental and substance use disorders affect people from all walks of life, with or without justice involvement, and, with the services and supports of behavioral health providers, many people recover.
