An ROI: SIM practices make strides The Colorado State Innovation Model (SIM) will help 400 primary care practices and four community mental health centers integrate behavioral and physical health during its four-year time frame. A few successes: SIM practices are increasing mental health screenings, such as depression: Cohort-1 SIM practices screened 130,336 eligible patients for depression; followed-up on positive results. SIM providers say integrated care is the best way to improve patient health, lower healthcare costs. SIM providers improved their ability to report clinical quality measures, and their confidence in the data, which helps them negotiate value-based contracts. Example: In quarter-2 of 2017, 100% of SIM practices reported at least one CQM. SIM helped create a new workforce in Colorado — 21 regional health connectors are connecting providers with community resources. SIM is investing in 8 local public health agencies. Example: SIM funded “Let’s Talk Colorado,” a media campaign to reduce mental health stigma. SIM is reducing provider burden: Alignment of measures across state and national initiatives. SIM practices improved integration: 39 practices moved to a higher level at 12 months (42.4%).
