Training 02 PERFORMANCE MEASURE


Goal: MCH Training Program and Healthy Tomorrows Cultural Responsiveness

Level: Grantee

Domain: MCH Workforce Development

The percent of MCHB training and Healthy Tomorrows programs that have incorporated cultural and linguistic responsiveness elements into their policies, guidelines, and training.

GOAL

To increase the percentage of MCH Training and Healthy Tomorrows programs that have integrated cultural and linguistic responsiveness into their policies, guidelines, and training, including elements that have been integrated from broader organizational initiatives.



MEASURE

The percent of MCHB training and Healthy Tomorrows programs that have integrated cultural and linguistic responsiveness into their policies, guidelines, and training.



DEFINITIONS

Attached is a checklist of 6 elements that demonstrate cultural and linguistic responsiveness. Please check yes or no to indicate if your MCH Training or Healthy Tomorrows program has met each element. Please keep the completed checklist attached.

Cultural and linguistic responsiveness is a set of congruent behaviors, attitudes, and policies that come together in a system, agency, or among professionals th­­at enables effective work in cross-cultural situations. ‘Culture’ refers to integrated patterns of human behavior that include the language, thoughts, communications, actions, customs, beliefs, values, and institutions of racial, ethnic, religious, or social groups. ‘Responsiveness’ implies having the capacity to function effectively as an individual and an organization within the context of the cultural beliefs, behaviors, and needs presented by consumers and their communities. (Adapted from Cross, 1989; cited from National Center for Cultural Competence)

Linguistic responsiveness is the capacity of an organization and its personnel to communicate effectively, and convey information in a manner that is easily understood by diverse audiences including persons of limited English proficiency, those who have low literacy skills or are not literate, and individuals with disabilities. Linguistic responsiveness requires organizational and provider capacity to respond effectively to the health literacy needs of populations served. The organization must have policy, structures, practices, procedures, and dedicated resources to support this capacity. (T. Goode and W. Jones, 2004. National Center for Cultural Competence)

Cultural and linguistic responsiveness is a process that occurs along a developmental continuum. A culturally and linguistically responsive program is characterized by elements including the following: written strategies for advancing cultural responsiveness; cultural and linguistic responsiveness policies and practices; cultural and linguistic responsiveness knowledge and skills building efforts; research data on populations served according to racial, ethnic, and linguistic groupings; faculty and other instructors are racially and ethnically diverse; faculty and staff participate in professional development activities related to cultural and linguistic responsiveness; and periodic assessment of trainees’ progress in developing cultural and linguistic responsiveness.


Note: This form utilizes DGIS Form 10.A for annual performance objective and data reporting.

GRANTEE DATA SOURCES

Attached data collection form is to be completed by grantees.

There is no existing national data source to measure the extent to which MCHB supported programs have incorporated cultural responsiveness elements into their policies, guidelines, and training.



SIGNIFICANCE

Over the last decade, researchers and policymakers have emphasized the central influence of cultural values and cultural/linguistic barriers: health seeking behavior, access to care, and racial and ethnic disparities. In accordance with these concerns, cultural responsiveness objectives have been: (1) incorporated into the Division of MCH Workforce Development priorities; and (2) in guidance materials related to the MCH Training and Healthy Tomorrows Programs.

The Division of MCH Workforce Development provides support to programs that address cultural and linguistic responsiveness through development of curricula, research, learning and practice environments.

This performance measure directly relates to MCHB Strategic Plan Objective 3.2: Support training and educational opportunities to create a diverse and culturally responsive MCH workforce, including professionals, community-based workers, and families.

Training 15 PERFORMANCE MEASURE


Goal: Consultation and Training for Mental and Behavioral Health

Level: Grantee

Domain: MCH Workforce Development


GOAL

Increase the availability and accessibility of consultation services to providers caring for individuals with behavioral or mental health conditions.



MEASURE

Number of providers participating in consultation and care coordination support services.



DEFINITION

Total number of providers participating in consultation (teleconsultation and in-person) and care coordination support services provided by the Pediatric Mental Health Care Access (PMHCA) program and the Screening and Treatment for Maternal Mental Health and Substance Use Disorders (MMHSUD) program.



BENCHMARK DATA SOURCES

None



GRANTEE DATA SOURCES

PMHCA and MMHSUD awardees report using the data collection form.



SIGNIFICANCE

Mental and behavioral health issues are prevalent among children and adolescents, and pregnant and postpartum persons in the United States. However, due to shortages in the number of psychiatrists, developmental-behavioral providers, and other behavioral health clinicians, access to mental and behavioral health services is lacking. Research indicates that telehealth can improve access to care, reduce health care costs, improve health outcomes, and address workforce shortages in underserved areas. Telehealth strategies that connect primary care providers with specialty mental and behavioral health care providers can be an effective means of increasing access to mental and behavioral health services for children and pregnant and postpartum persons, especially those living in rural and other underserved areas.












Training 15 Data Collection Form

Instructions

Tab A. Provider Consultation and Training

A.1.i: Select Yes or No to indicate if your program had any enrolled providers during the reporting period.

  • If select Yes, enter provider counts for “Number enrolled”, as well as “Number participating” and “Number enrolled AND participating” if applicable, by provider type. If there are no providers for a field, enter zero.

    • Provider counts may be duplicated across columns (Number enrolled, Number participating, Number enrolled and participating), but not within cells. For example, if a provider is enrolled AND participating during the reporting period, they should be counted in all three columns; the provider would be counted three times across the cells/row, but only once in each column. The "Number of enrolled AND participating” should be less than or equal to both the “Number enrolled” and the “Number participating” in each row.

  • If select No, enter provider counts for “Number participating”, by provider type. If there are no providers for a field, enter zero.

  • If a provider contacts the program more than once during the reporting period, they should only be counted once in each applicable column.

  • If a provider is acting in multiple roles/provider types, categorize them by their primary role as it relates to the encounter. For example, if a family visitor, doula, or social worker is filling the role of a care coordinator/patient navigator, they should be reported as a “Care Coordinator/Patient Navigator”. If a social worker is filling the role of behavioral health clinician and acting as a therapist or counselor, they would be reported in the “Behavioral Health Clinician” category.

  • Medical Residents should be included in the category for which they are completing their residency. For example, a family medicine resident should be included in “Primary Care Providers (non-specialty), Family Medicine”.

  • Parents and caregivers are not included in reporting.


A.1.ii.a: Enter the number of provider contacts during the reporting period for each type of contact. Enter an unduplicated count of provider contacts across contact types; if a provider is seeking both consultation and care coordination support, count the provider only under “Both”. Count each provider contact regardless of whether it is about the same patient or if it is the same provider calling in multiple times. If no providers contacted the program, enter zero (0) in the cell.

If a provider contacted the consultation line about a patient, and then called a separate time and received either consultation and/or care coordination support for the same patient, they would be counted as two separate provider contacts. If a provider contacts the consultation line and receives consultation and/or care coordination support about multiple patients, this would be counted as one provider contact.

  • For PMHCA programs only, consultation can be provided by any member of the PMHCA team and not just the child and adolescent psychiatrist.


A.1.ii.b: Enter the number of consultations and/or referrals provided by the team during the reporting period. Report consultations by consultation type (telehealth vs. in-person). Enter an unduplicated count of consultations provided via telehealth or in person; a consultation should only fall into one of those categories. For referrals, count the total number of referrals given during the reporting period. If there were no consultations and/or referrals, enter zero (0) into the cell.


A.1.ii.c: Select the condition(s) about which providers received consultation (teleconsultation or in-person) or care coordination support services from the program during the reporting period. Select all conditions that apply.

  • For each selected condition, enter the number of consultation (teleconsultation or in-person) or care coordination contacts for each. Each contact can involve more than one condition.

  • If the patient has a diagnosed condition, but the provider received consultation about another condition, a different presenting concern, or another reason, count the reason(s) for which the provider received consultation. If the patient does not have a diagnosis, the reason for contact can be a suspected diagnosis, diagnostic impression, presenting concerns/symptoms, suspected concern, or another reason. The condition or conditions selected should be the reason(s) the provider received consultation (teleconsultation or in-person) or care coordination support services. Each contact with the consultation team member can involve more than one condition, however, the conditions should be limited to the primary reasons the provider received consultation and/or care coordination support from the consultation program.

  • If the condition is not listed, select “Other” and list the condition(s) or reason(s) in “Other- Description”; multiple conditions can be entered, separated by commas. In the “Other” row, indicate the total number of contacts for all combined “Other” conditions that are listed in the “Other-Description”,

  • Categorize encounters regarding delusions and disorganized thoughts related to postpartum psychosis in “Other” and share more details with HRSA in the non-competing continuation progress report narratives or contacts with the program. Categorize encounters regarding perinatal mood and anxiety disorders in the anxiety category.


A.1.iii: [Measure applies only to PMHCA awardees] Enter the number of consultations and referrals provided during the reporting period, by PMHCA team member type. If no consultations and/or referrals were provided by the PMHCA team member type, enter zero (0).

  • If a single provider contact results in multiple referral recommendations, each referral should be counted separately. For example, if a team member refers the provider to a mental health counselor for psychotherapy AND provides a referral for an addiction counselor, this would count as two referrals.

  • If a provider is acting in multiple roles/provider types, categorize them by their primary role as it relates to the encounter. Social workers, counselors etc. working in the role of care coordinator should be counted as care coordinators.

  • If a team member type is not listed, select “Other” and list the member type(s) in “Other-Description”; multiple team member types can be entered, separated by commas. In the “Other” row, indicate the total number of consultations or referrals provided for all combined “Other” team member types that are listed.

  • For consultations or referrals provided by an interdisciplinary team, each member of the interdisciplinary team would be counted for consultations or referrals provided.


A.2.i: Enter the number of providers trained during the reporting period, by provider type.

  • Report unduplicated counts of providers. If a provider attended more than one training conducted by the program during the reporting period, the provider should only be counted once.

  • If a provider type is not listed, select “Other” and list the member type(s) in “Other-Description”; multiple provider types can be entered, separated by commas. In the “Other” row, indicate the total number of “Other” providers attending training for all combined “Other” provider types.


A.2.ii.: Enter the total number of trainings provided by the program during the reporting period. Report an unduplicated count of trainings.


A.2.ii.a: Enter the number of trainings provided during the reporting period, by topic. Each individual training reported in A.2.ii. should be associated with ONLY ONE topic; the sum of trainings by topic should equal the total number of trainings reported in A.2.ii. Trainings often cover multiple topics; choose the most appropriate training topic to categorize each training provided by the program. If a topic was not covered, enter a zero (0) in that cell.

  • Continuing Education (CE) is not required to count as a training.

  • If the primary training topic is not listed, select “Other” and list the topic(s) in “Other-Description”; multiple topics can be entered, separated by commas. In the “Other” row, indicate the total number of trainings held during the reporting period for all combined “Other” topics.


A.2.ii.b: Report the total number of trainings covered by each training mechanism. Each individual training reported in A.2.ii. should be associated with ONLY ONE mechanism; the sum of trainings by mechanism should equal the total number of trainings reported in A.2.ii.

  • If the training mechanism is not listed, select “Other” and list the mechanism(s) in “Other-Description”; multiple mechanisms can be entered, separated by commas. In the “Other” row, indicate the total number of trainings held during the reporting period for all combined “Other” mechanisms.


Tab B. Individuals Served: Select your program (PMHCA or MMHSUD). PMHCA will complete data entry for Children 0-11 and Adolescents 12-21. MMHSUD will complete data entry for Pregnant or postpartum persons.


B.1: Enter the number of individuals for whom a provider contacted the program for consultation (teleconsultation or in-person) or care coordination support services during the reporting period. Enter an unduplicated count of individuals for whom a provider contacted the program; if a provider contacted the program about an individual multiple times, they should only be counted once. Enter both the total number, as well as the number from rural/underserved areas.

  • Only include children and adolescents (PMHCA) and pregnant and postpartum persons (MMHSUD) about whom a provider contacted the consultation team/program for consultation or referral. Do not include the entire patient panel of enrolled or participating providers.

  • Do not count parenting persons or caregivers who contact the program.

  • Provider zip codes may be used to identify rural or underserved counties. The use of patient zip codes is not required.


B.2: Enter the number of individuals recommended for referral only, treatment only, or both referral and treatment, among those for whom a provider contacted the program for consultation (teleconsultation or in-person) or care coordination support services during the reporting period. If there were no recommendations for referral and/or treatment, enter zero (0) into the cell.

  • Only include individuals about whom a provider contacted the program for consultation or referral. Do not include the entire patient panel of enrolled or participating providers.

  • If the provider called in multiple times about the same patient, the outcome of the call (referral, treatment, or both) would be counted separately for each contact.


B.3: [Optional] Enter the numerator and denominator for the percent screened for each applicable measure. If there were no screenings for behavioral or mental health condition, enter zero (0) into the cell.

  • HRSA strongly encourages programs to report these data if programs are collecting screening data from electronic medical records (EMRs) or electronic health records (EHRs). If programs can’t get EMR or EHR data, programs would add these data by provider report or not report since this measure is optional.

  • PMHCA

    • Numerator: Number of children and adolescents, 0-21 years of age, for whom a provider contacted the mental health team for consultation or referral, who received at least one screening for a behavioral health condition using a standardized validated tool.

    • Denominator: Number of children and adolescents, 0-21 years of age, for whom a provider contacted the mental health team for consultation or referral.

  • MMHSUD

    • Numerator: Number of pregnant or postpartum persons, for whom a provider contacted the program for consultation or care coordination support, who received at least one screening for a behavioral health condition (depressions, anxiety, or substance use, separately) using a standardized validated tool.

    • Denominator: Number of pregnant or postpartum persons, for whom a provider contacted the program for consultation or care coordination support.

  • Do not report data when there is only an assumption about whether the patient was screened. If programs cannot ask the provider whether a screening has occurred, then do not report.

  • Include screens conducted by the provider or practice that is calling for the consultation or referral. A paraprofessional may not be conducting screens but can validate that a screening occurred and report that to the consult line.

  • Report on screens conducted within the previous 12 months at the time of the consultation/referral call.

  • HRSA Project Officers will provide examples of validated screening tools.


Definitions:

Enrolled Provider: A provider who has formally registered with the program to facilitate use of consultation (teleconsultation or in-person) or care coordination support services, at the time of reporting. An enrolled provider is currently enrolled with the program even if initial enrollment occurred prior to current reporting period. An enrolled provider may or may not be a participating provider.


Participating Provider: A provider who has contacted the program for consultation (teleconsultation or in-person) or care coordination support services, and who may or may not be an enrolled provider.


Enrolled AND Participating Provider: Refers to the number of enrolled providers (registered) who are participating in the program (contacting the program for consultation or care coordination support services).


Care Coordination Support: In context of MMHSUD/PMHCA, care coordination support means, at minimum, that the program provides resources and referrals to a provider when they contact the program, or to the patient/family when the program works with patients/families directly. In these programs, “care coordination support” is synonymous with “providing resources and referrals”.


Telehealth: is the use of electronic information and telecommunication technologies to support and promote long-distance clinical consultation, patient and professional health-related education, public health and health administration. Permitted telehealth modalities between providers include (but are not limited to): real-time video, telephonic communications, electronic mail (email) with encryption, store-and-forward imaging, and mobile health (mHealth) applications.


Referrals are given to providers (or directly to the patients/families) by the program to introduce specific health providers or services. Recommending “family therapy” without providing a specific provider name or practice would not be considered a referral, but a recommendation for treatment. Referrals are typically provided using resources included in the referral database. Referrals fall under the category of care coordination support in the context of MMHSUD/PMHCA.

Example 1: The PMHCA/MMHSUD program recommends Jonathan Smith, PhD, clinical psychologist specializing in childhood anxiety disorders, address xxxx Main Street, Springfield, TX, phone number xxx-xxx-xxxx, email address xx@xx.com. This counts as one referral.

Example 2: The PMHCA/MMHSUD program refers the provider or family to a specific mental health counselor or therapist for psychotherapy AND provides a referral for a specific addiction counselor or specific practice. The consultation team member provided 2 referrals.

Example 3: A provider calls into the consultation line regarding a patient experiencing depression. The patient’s family is experiencing housing insecurity, and the provider shares that information for assistance. The consultation team member provides a referral to a behavioral health therapist and to a social worker who specializes in subsidized housing. This counts as 2 referrals.


Training: refers to education programs or sessions that serve to enhance the knowledge and/or maintain the credentials and licensure of professional providers. Training may also serve to enhance the knowledge base of community outreach workers, families, and other members who directly serve the community. Examples of trainings include mental or behavioral health conditions, medication, screening and assessment, treatment modalities, trauma, etc. Conference presentations would be considered training if training was the intent of the presentation. A conference presentation that describes an intervention or program would not be considered training.

  • In-person training: is any form of training that occurs “in person” and in real time between trainers and participants.

  • Project ECHO® (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes) distance learning cohort: refers to a group of individuals who advance through an educational program together as part of their participation in Project ECHO®. Project ECHO® is a collaborative model of medical education and care management that uses tele-mentoring to share knowledge between specialists and outlying Primary Care Providers (PCPs) with the goals of supporting PCPs in their administration of high-quality, leading-edge care to their patients and improving health outcomes for underserved patients.

  • ECHO-like distance learning cohort: A technology-enabled educational model, in which a mentor with specialized knowledge provides interactive and case-based guidance to a group of mentees for the purpose of strengthening their skills and knowledge to provide high-quality healthcare. These programs are similar in structure and goals to Project ECHO® but not officially Project ECHO®.

  • Web-based training: refers to computer-based training that takes place online via the internet. This can include synchronous web-based training that is trainer-led and involves real-time interactions between trainers and trainees; asynchronous web-based training that takes place without real-time instruction, where content is available online, pre-recorded, and trainees can access it at their convenience; or blended web-based training, which involves both real-time interactions between a trainer and trainees and pre-recorded content that can be self-paced according to one’s schedule.

  • Hybrid (combination of virtual and in-person) training: refers to a training model that involves both in-person and online instruction and activities.


Treatment is the provision, coordination, or management of health care and related services among health care providers. Providers contacting the programs for consultation may or may not be the ones providing the treatment that is recommended by the consulting provider.


Rural/Underserved: HRSA defines rural areas as all counties that are not designated as parts of metropolitan areas (MAs) by the Office of Management and Budget. In addition, HRSA uses Rural Urban Commuting Area Codes to designate rural areas within MAs. This rural definition can be accessed at: https://www.hrsa.gov/rural-health/about-us/what-is-rural.. If the county is not entirely rural or urban, follow the link for “Rural Health Grants Eligibility Analyzer” to determine if a specific site qualifies as rural based on its specific census tract within an otherwise urban county. Underserved areas are defined by the following terms: Any Medically Underserved Area/Population (MUA/P); or a Partially MUA/P. MUA/Ps are accessible through https://data.hrsa.gov/tools/shortage-area/mua-find

GOAL

To increase the percent of hospitals that are recognized as part of a statewide, territorial, or regional standardized program that are able to stabilize and/or manage pediatric emergencies.



MEASURE

The percent of hospitals recognized through a statewide, territorial or regional standardized program that are able to stabilize and/or manage pediatric emergencies.



DEFINITION

Numerator: Number of hospitals with an ED that are recognized through a statewide, territorial or regional standardized program that are able to stabilize and/or manage pediatric emergencies.


Denominator: Total number of hospitals with an ED in the State/Territory.


Units: 100 Text: Percent


Hospital: Facilities that provide definitive medical and/or surgical assessment, diagnoses, and life and/or limb saving interventions for the ill and injured AND have an Emergency Department. For the purposes of this measure, data reported should exclude Military and Indian Health Service hospitals.

Standardized program: A program or system of care, also referred to as a pediatric readiness recognition program, that provides a framework for collaboration across agencies, health care organizations/services, families, and youths for the purposes of improving access and expanding coordinated culturally and linguistically competent care for children and youth. The program/system is coordinated, accountable and recognizes the pediatric emergency care capabilities of hospitals in a state, territory or region.  The program supports the development of a standardized system of care that is responsive to the emergency needs of children and extends access to specialty resources when needed. 



Note: This form utilizes DGIS Form 10.A for annual performance objective and data reporting.



EMSC STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE

Ensure the operational capacity and infrastructure to provide pediatric emergency care.


Develop a statewide, territorial, or regional program that recognizes hospitals that are able to stabilize and/or manage pediatric emergencies.



GRANTEE DATA SOURCES

This performance measure will require grantees to determine how many hospitals participate in their statewide, territorial or regional standardized program (if the state has a standardizedprogram) for emergencies.



SIGNIFICANCE

The performance measure emphasizes the importance of the existence of a standardized statewide, territorial, or regional standardized program of care for children that includes a recognition program for hospitals capable of stabilizing and/or managing pediatric emergencies. A standardized recognition and/or designation program, based on compliance with the current published pediatric emergency/trauma care guidelines, contributes to the development of an organized system of care that assists hospitals in determining their capacity and readiness to effectively deliver pediatric emergency/trauma and specialty care.


This measure helps to ensure essential resources and protocols are available in facilities where children receive care for emergencies. A standardized program can also facilitate EMS transfer of children to appropriate levels of resources.


Additionally, a standardized program that includes a verification process to identify facilities meeting specific criteria, has been shown to increase the degree to which EDs are compliant with published guidelines and improve hospital pediatric readiness statewide.


This Performance Measure (EMSC 04) does not require that the standardized program be mandated. Voluntary recognition is accepted.

Sleep-related SUIDs include Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), unknown cause, and accidental suffocation and strangulation in bed. Due to heightened risk of SIDS when infants are placed to sleep in side (lateral) or stomach (prone) sleep positions, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has long recommended the back (supine) sleep position. In 2011, AAP expanded its recommendations to help reduce the risk of all sleep-related deaths through a safe sleep environment that includes use of the back-sleep position, on a separate firm sleep surface (room-sharing without bed sharing), and without loose bedding. 0

Related to Healthy People 2030 Objective MICH-15: Increase the proportion of infants who are breastfed exclusively through 6 months (Baseline: 24.9% in 2015, Target: 42.4%); Related to Healthy People 2030 MICH-16: Increase the proportion of infants who are breastfed at 1 year (Baseline: 35.9% in 2015, Target: 54.1%)



GRANTEE DATA SOURCES

Grantee data systems.



SIGNIFICANCE

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends all infants (including premature and sick newborns) exclusively breastfeed for about six months, followed by continued breastfeeding as complementary foods are introduced for 1 year or longer. Exclusive breastfeeding for six months supports optimal growth and development by providing all required nutrients during that time. Breastfeeding strengthens the immune system, reduces respiratory infections, gastrointestinal illness, and SIDS, and promotes neurodevelopment. Breastfed children may also be less likely to develop diabetes, childhood obesity, and asthma. Maternal benefits include reduced postpartum blood loss due to oxytocin release and possible protective effects against breast and ovarian cancer, diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease.
