The name of the HEI Case Management Note has been changed to Case Management Activity. The functions of the page remain the same but additional activity groups and activities have been added.

 

HEI Case Management services may continue to use this note as before however, other case management services, such as Overdose Prevention Centers, may also use the note without concern that a client would be mistakenly identified as having a specific health disorder.

Order of Mental Health Diagnosis on the MH Diagnosis Page

Background:

In June of 2018, changes were made to CMBHS to align it with the DSM 5. In addition to conversion of the diagnoses descriptors from ICD-10 descriptors to DSM 5 descriptors, the DSM 5 order of diagnoses rules, were also implemented. The DSM 5 rules require that the principal diagnosis, the TRR Priority Population mental health diagnosis, be in order 1.

 

After some months, it was noted that some batch files were being submitted without having the principal mental health diagnosis in order 1. Due either to the provider’s not having made the needed changes to their local system and/or due to error. As a result, MH Assessments were calculating as LOC-9, when in fact, the client did have a principal mental health diagnosis, it was just not documented in the first order.

 

At the request of the LMHAs, a change was made to CMBHS to address the most frequent type of error: a principal mental health diagnosis is documented for the client but not in the first order.

 

The Change:

Consistent with the DSM 5, HHSC MH Programs has not changed the program requirement that the principal MH diagnosis be documented in order 1.

This change returns CMBHS back to how it functioned before the DSM 5 project was deployed: when a user begins the process of documenting a MH Assessment (CANS/ANSA) in CMBHS, CMBHS will search the client’s most recent diagnoses for a qualifying MH diagnosis beginning with the first diagnosis and searching through the next 5 for a total of 6. CMBHS will accept the first qualifying MH diagnosis that it locates.

 

When diagnoses are batched, the diagnoses will be entered in the order submitted and when a MH assessment is attempted, the search for a qualifying MH diagnosis will go through the same process.

The first qualifying MH diagnosis will be used by the system to determine the appropriate clinical scales for adults, and to calculate an LOC. This is how the system worked prior to release of the DSM 5 change.

 

Limitations:

1.    The program requirement that the principal MH diagnosis be listed in order 1 has not changed. The purpose of this change is to reduce the number of client’s calculating to LOC-9 because of an error.

2.    CMBHS will not differentiate between the principal diagnosis (the qualifying TRR Priority Population diagnosis) and a qualifying MH diagnosis which means it is a DSM 5 MH Diagnosis.

3.    If the qualifying MH diagnosis is in order 7 – 18, it will not be located by CMBHS and the Assessment calculator will find the client does not have a qualifying MH diagnosis.

Child and Adolescent Diagnosis and Assessment

The error where CMBHS was accepting child and adolescent diagnosis that were not mental health diagnoses as mental health diagnoses and allowing the calculation of a level of care (LOC) has been corrected.  The MH Assessment (CANS) will now only calculate an LOC for a youth with a qualifying mental health diagnosis.
