Shared Risk Contracting

Medicaid Managed Care Organizations and Behavioral Health Providers have the potential to partner and improve health care quality and control rising costs, particularly for complex, high-need members. Coordinating behavioral health and medical services, and/or providing evidenced-based programs, may help to dramatically improve quality of care and reap significant savings from avoidable emergency room and inpatient utilization.

The SPARC Network will custom design shared savings programs that work to reduce health care spending for high-cost member populations, while simultaneously increasing the quality of service delivery and outcomes.

In Home Therapy Services (IHTS)

In Home Therapy Services (IHTS) is a combination of the Evidenced-Based Therapy Practice Motivational Interviewing and coordination of care interventions provided in the home and community to children and their families where there are complex clinical needs that traditional outpatient therapy cannot adequately address.

IHTS is a time limited service, approximately 6 months, in which the Therapist and the QP work with the child and their family to meet the therapeutic needs as well as provide linkage to professional and natural supports. The Therapist will provide individual and family therapy to address the child’s mental health needs as well as family systems issues and needs that may complicate traditional outpatient therapy from being successful. The QP will approach the care coordination through the philosophies of System of Care and will work with the various systems involved with the child and family, such as DSS, DJJ, Primary Care, and School System. Upon discharge from IHTS services, children and their

families will be able to continue to receive Outpatient Therapy from the Therapist to ensure continuity of care. The child/family will receive a minimum of 2 hours/week of therapy and care coordination activities.

The goals of IHTS are to:

1 Reduce presenting mental health/psychiatric symptoms

2 Ensure linkage to and coordination with community services and resources

3 Prevent out of home placement

Outpatient Therapy

Our Licensed Outpatient Therapists provide intensive clinical therapeutic services to children, adolescents, and adults with identified mental health or substance abuse diagnosis.

We can serve members in the office and/or in the community, including homes. Our Therapists are trained in Crisis Response and can provide 24-7 crisis services. Our Clinicians are supported (when necessary) with case management and medication management.

Finally, SPARC Therapists coordinate closely with the member’s Medical Home.

Transition Management Services (TMS)

The SPARC Network uses Transition Management Services (TMS) to provide services to individuals participating in the Transition to Community Living Initiative (TCLI). TMS is a rehabilitation service intended to increase and restore an individual’s ability to live successfully in the community by maintaining tenancy.TMS focuses on increasing the individual’s ability to live as independently as possible, managing the illness, and reestablishing his or her community roles related to the following life domains: emotional, social, safety, housing, medical and health, educational, vocational, and legal.TMS provides structured rehabilitative interventions.

Enhanced Crisis Response

SPARC interfaces with facility utilization review staff to facilitate timely transfer of hospitalized patients and appropriate use of facility resources. Our uniquely trained clinicians act as a liaison between the hospital, physicians, managed care, nursing homes, family members and behavioral health providers to resolve problems, provide information, and maintain positive relationships.

Family Centered Treatment® (FCT)

Family Centered Treatment® (FCT) is an evidence-based practice (EBP) that is currently being provided in various states. FCT has been gradually formalized into a model of home-based treatment that lowers rates of out of home placements. It has been refined based on research, experience and evidence of effectiveness derived from practice. The foundations of the model are from eco-structural family therapy (Minuchin) and emotionally focused therapy (Johnson). FCT is a systemic family systems change model. The third phase of treatment, valuing changes (through use of paradoxical and experiential exercises), seeks to confirm and capitalize on internal changes within the family so that the family is not dependent on the therapist once services terminate. Services are intensive with a minimum of 10 hours per month provided to the family. FCT incorporates coordination with other systems, such as MCO, DSS and DJJ as well as 24/7/365 Crisis Intervention.

This service is targeted towards:

1. Consumers with prior treatment episodes of residential treatment with unsuccessful  family reunification,

2. Consumers at risk for higher levels of residential, such as Level III,

3. Consumers who have been hospitalized with little prior treatment where hospital is  recommending residential services,

4. Consumers currently in residential treatment where discharge is being prolonged due  to lack of family systems work to make this successful Consumers with extensive histories of utilizing enhanced services without successful  outcomes.
