Striving to improve mental health care and outcomes
Last month included a number of annual events recognizing the importance of mental health and mental health care, including World Mental Health Day, National Day Without Stigma, National Depression Screening Day, and Mental Illness Awareness Week.
At IHPI, we appreciate our
many members and their teams who are engaged in work to improve services and outcomes for those living with mental/behavioral health conditions.
As one highlight, in October the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services awarded a contract to IHPI
to evaluate a new effort to improve the coordination of physical health services and behavioral health services within the state under the Section 298 Initiative. A team of IHPI members led by
Kara Zivin, Ph.D., M.S., M.A., will conduct the evaluation of up to three pilots and one demonstration model to test the integration of physical health and behavioral health services.
Also last month, the National Institute of Mental Health awarded a $3.9 million grant to a Department of Psychiatry team led by
Amy M. Kilbourne, Ph.D., M.P.H., for a
new study of student mental health. This randomized controlled trial will study the effectiveness of different strategies to implement school-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a way to improve access to evidence-based mental health care for students with depression and anxiety throughout the state of Michigan.
We will continue to seek ways to improve outcomes for individuals with complex care needs and ensure that mental/behavioral health care services are effective in meeting their needs.

Precision Health Initiative and Data Office for Clinical and Translational Research
|
University of Michigan President Mark Schlissel recently announced the launch of U-M's Precision Health Initiative. This campus-wide endeavor will bring together existing resources, people, and technologies aimed at finding personalized solutions to improve the health and wellness of individuals and communities.
The Data Office will play a supportive role by connecting researchers with clinical health data, genetic data, patient-reported data, and the researcher's own data in a secure and reproducible way:
- Enhance data services and tools (like DataDirect) to support discovery, analytics, and translation.
- Continue to function as a "front door" to data access and honest broker services like maintaining crosswalks of patient IDs, submitting data securely to partners across the university, and connecting researchers and their data to high-performance analytic platforms.

New journal advancing the science behind learning health systems
|
The concept of learning health systems is gaining widespread attention as both an ideal and an emerging reality that many initiatives in the U.S. and around the world are striving to achieve.
Now, an international, open-access, peer-reviewed journal is further advancing the science underpinning the learning health systems movement, with an ambitious goal of achieving continuous rapid improvement in health and healthcare and transforming organizational practice. The
Learning Health Systems (LHS) journal, edited by Charles Friedman, Ph.D., seeks article submissions on important and timely issues in the form of research reports, experience reports, technical reports, briefs, and commentaries.

My goal is to provide patients with all of the care they need and none of the care they don't. My team and I have been looking at multiple areas of overuse and misuse of healthcare resources to find the root cause of their overutilization and develop multidisciplinary directed solutions that involve provider education and electronic health record optimization.

Dangerous falls in middle age: What's sight got to do with it?
|
Falls are a major public health issue because of the burden and costs of helping people recover. But, despite the preconceived notion, researchers at the University of Michigan contend that the problem of falling is not unique to older adults.
With their personal and professional experiences in mind, U-M researchers set out to determine the relationship between vision, physical functioning, and falls in middle age.
First, to determine the incidence of vision programs in middle age, U-M epidemiology expert, IHPI member, and professor of obstetrics and gynecology
Sioban D. Harlow, Ph.D., tapped data from the population-based Michigan SWAN study (Study of Women's Health Across the Nation) she leads.

All together now: ICU patients benefit from diverse care teams
Findings point to need for greater coordination among team members to ensure routine implementation of evidence-based interventions.
Collaborative teamwork among the many healthcare professionals who work in the intensive care unit (ICU) is essential for ensuring better outcomes among critically ill patients. Yet coordination and communication among team members can be difficult in the complex, dynamic, often fast-moving care environment of the ICU.
A new study led by
Deena Costa, Ph.D., R.N., assistant professor of nursing, and published online ahead of print in the
Journal of Critical Care confirms the importance of interprofessional collaboration in standardizing care, finding that a series of interventions performed to manage delirium and weakness among adult ICU patients is more successfully implemented when diverse teams are frequently involved in those activities.

Prenatal Medicaid benefits boost health gains across generations
|
The expansion of Medicaid to provide low-income women with prenatal care in the 1980s and 1990s was a success in improving birth outcomes. Children with mothers who benefited from this program were not only healthier at birth, but also more likely to graduate high school and have higher incomes.
Sarah Miller, Ph.D., assistant professor of business, and colleagues examined how large-scale U.S. health interventions affected later generations. They found that people whose mothers received this prenatal care are now having children themselves with higher birth weights and fewer cases of very low birth weight.
