Effectiveness of Alternative Ways of Implementing Care Management Components in Medicare D-SNPs: The Brand New Day Study
This study compares key patient outcomes at Brand New Day, a Medicare SNP for dual eligibles with severe mental illness, under two alternatives—routine care (services routinely provided at the plan before the study) and enhanced care (more frequent or more intensive services)—for each of 11 care components. The tested components included frequency-of-routine contacts; depression screening frequency, use of depression screening instruments, and mode of referral to specialists; member education and coaching strategies; medication and chronic disease management (DM); and management of care transitions, including frequency of follow-up and use of protocols and tools.
