| Abstract: | This project follows a previously funded planning process, during which time Michigan Public Health Institute (MPHI) conducted consumer focus groups and best-practice studies, designed the proposed interventions, and selected a screening instrument for use in the Medicaid enrollment process. The purpose of this project is to demonstrate multiple local and systemic research-based interventions with Qualified Health Plans (QHPs), consumers, advocates, and policy makers to reduce secondary conditions in the adult Michigan Medicaid beneficiaries who are SSI-eligible. The proposed project intends to: Foster collaboration between advocates, Medicaid Qualified Health Plans, and Medicaid. The collaboration will focus on: consumer competency in using managed care effectively; strengthening local health plan capacities for serving persons with disabilities in managed care; and building advocacy networks for capturing and addressing consumer concerns. The project will also demonstrate how QHPs can use specialists as primary care providers for clients with severe physical disabilities and other complex medical conditions. This will be evaluated by: (1) relative cost efficiencies, (2) quality of life for consumers, and (3) specialty physician's perceptions of the study. Expected Outcome(s)/Products: The results of the demonstration will be made available through: (1) a report on planning, implementation process, and challenges and (2) a report of the project evaluation, including identified best practices, process impacts, methods of operationalizing, and sustainable funding. |
