1 SEPTEMBER 2003 VOL. 35, NO.9 MaineHealth works to improve depression care Shelly (not her real name) was surprised when her family doctor said her fatigue, difficulty sleeping, and headaches might be due to depression. She was having trouble concentrating anyway, and the added stress of the diagnosis made it hard to remember what was explained to her about depression and its treatment. She wasn't sure about taking the prescribed anti-depressant pill. She was worried she'd get hooked on it, and concerned about the side effects. Did she really need the medicine? Fortunately, Shelly's doctor was part of a new MaineHealth program called 'Improving Depression Care'. An RN care manager called Shelly a week after her visit with the doctor to answer questions, see how she was doing with her new treatment, and troubleshoot any problems. They talked about the depression diagnosis and the care manager was able to help Shelly know what to expect. They also talked about the antidepressant medication prescribed, and Shelly decided that she would fill the prescription and, give it a try. DEPRESSION, SEE p.6 FOR THE I'v1AINE I'v1EDICAL CENTER FAI'v1ILY Spring Harbor's Adolescent Partial Program opens A new resource for teens and families coping with serious mental illness and co-occurring disorders opened at Spring Harbor Hospital on September 15. It is the only program of its kind in southern Maine. The Adolescent Partial Program is a half-day treatment regimen providing intensive therapeutic services in a familybased, highly structured environment, while still allowing teens to attend school and live at home. The program operates after school hours, Monday through Friday, and will serve as many as 12 teens at a time, with each receiving two weeks of treatment. Candidates for the Adolescent Partial Program are young people between the ages of 13 and 18 who experience serious and persistent psychiatric, emotional, behavioral, and/or addictive disorders. Typical diagnoses addressed in the program include: anxiety, psychotic or depressive disorders, attention deficitlhyperactivity disorder (ADD/ ADHD), and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). There is a specific treatment track for those who also suffer from chemical dependency. According to Clinical Team Leader Amy Roberts, LCSW, the partialhospital level of mental healthcare is designed for three specific purposes: to avert a teen's admission to a psychiatric hospital or to reduce the length of a hospital stay; to facilitate an adolescent's return from the hospital to the community; or to provide a more intensive level of care when other structured outpatient treatment does not meet the teen's or family's needs. The Adolescent Partial Program relies on the participation of both teens and their families to bring about the most successful recovery experience. 'Through individual, family, and multifamily therapy, the treatment team assists patients and their loved ones in acquiring skills to effectively cope at home, at school, and in the community,' Roberts notes. Team members-who include a child psychiatrist and a psychiatric nurse, social worker, occupational therapist, and technician-also collaborate with the teen's school and healthcare providers to ensure maximum treatment MMC Blood Donor Program Open House SPRING IlARBOR, SEE p.4,..

The benefits of aerobic exercise (raising heart and breathing rates by moving large muscles) may include: decreased stress, increased energy, improved heart health, better flexibility, healthier cholesterol levels, increased muscle strength, decreased appetite, improved sleep, maintained or decreased weight. Here's a good way for most people to get started: If you're over 35 or have medical problems, check with your healthcare provider about an exercise program. Warm up gradually for 5 minutes doing your chosen activity at a slow pace. Exercise at your target heart rate for 5-10 minutes initially, gradually increasing to up to 45 minutes. Cool down by decreasing your activity until your heart rate returns to normal. Stretch for 5-10 minutes. Stretching helps increase your flexibility, decreases muscle soreness, and helps you to relax. Calculate your target heart rate: Subtract your age from 220. This is your maximum heart rate. When beginning your exercise program, strive to reach a heart rate of 60-75% of your target rate. You can gradually work up to achieving 85% of your target rate. For example, if you are 40, your maximum heart rate is 180 beats per minute. Sixty to seventy five percent of 180 is beats per minute. You can check your heart rate by placing the fingers of one hand next to your Adam's apple; count beats for 15 seconds. Multiply the number of beats by four for your heart rate. Check your Employee Discount book for gyms and fitness centers near you. Start exercising this week: it may be the best decision you'll make this year.

Occupational Therapist Jennifer Cote had no idea when she came to work July 9 that she wasn't going to have a typical day... she was going to plan a wedding... in less than two hours! Ashley, a carpenter, suffered a high-level spinal cord injury and was a patient in SCU. His fiancee, Angela, decided to show her support f~r him by getting married a little earlier than expected. She called a Justice of the Peace, who was to arrive at the hospital in less than two hours. So Cote got to work. First, she sized Ashley's finger and his mother went to G.M. Pollack & Sons to buy the wedding bands. Cote then called Catering and they gladly agreed to ma~e a cake. They also delivered two water goblets for the champagne brought by a friend. The SCU nurses called The Barbara Bush Children's Hospital to ask permission to use the Atrium for the ceremony. The BBCH staff set up the room for the wedding. An AV photographer was commissioned to take pictures. A secretary on the BBCH floor did the bride's hair. Flowers and a boutonniere were secured from the Flower Box. Right before the ceremony, Ashley was able to be taken off his ~ach.ines, p.ut in a special chair and changed into a white shirt matching one worn by his bnde. MISS Maine was visiting the BBCH inpatient unit at the time of the wedding, so she and the children on the floor were witnesses to this special ceremony. One of the patients was their honorary flower girl, princess hat and all.. Family and friends, including the sister of the bride, who was the Maid of Honor, surrounded the groom and his blushing bride. They left the Atrium in his special chair with an appropriate 'Just Married' sign hanging from the back.. t Ashley Perkins and Angela Coffren were married July 9 at MMC. AV Photo.

VAC celebrates second. anmversary 'What is the Vascular Access Center?' staff often hear as they give report to various units at the Bramhall Campus. The Center provides outpatient dialysis patients a dedicated place to undergo the procedures necessary for maintenance of their access devices. Located in the Brighton Surgical Center, the Center shares space with the Endoscopy unit. Private rooms allow comfort and privacy to patient and waiting family members. While vascular access procedures are not new, it is a new concept that nephrologists perform them. MMC is the only such site in the Northeast, with only a handful across the nation. Nephrologists collaborate with interventional radiologists to provide coverage. Referrals occur from dialysis units throughout the state. The Center has expanded to include ten units from York County to Belfast. Vascular surgeons also use the Center to follow up on new fistula placements. Guidelines minimize the high-risk nature of this work. Members of the endoscopy staff support the admission and discharge of these patients. A core staff includes radiologic technologists, and registered nurses playa pivotal role. All staff are strongly committed to optimal patient outcomes. The multidisciplinary approach is validated through observation of highly professional teamwork. 'It's like coming home' is said many times by patients who benefit from the heartfelt from this patient-focused care. 3

4 Teens work despite high unemployment rates Unemployment rates for teens this summer are the highest since 1965, yet MMC's Department of Vocational Services 2003 Summer Youth Employment Program celebrated a summer of hard work on August 21. The Celebration focused on the unusual summer for the nation's youth and recognized the employment opportunities through MMC's Youth Employment Program. Since this program began over 20 years ago under the direction of Richard Balser, Director of Vocational Services, it has functioned with the belief that all youth with disabilities can work. The success of the program is attributed to support, supervision, and salary. This summer, 20 youth with disabilities between the ages of 14 and 20 had the opportunity to work in 23 jobs in 16 different locations. During the program's seven weeks, these youth worked a total of 1,885 hours and earned a total of $12,251. Wages were funded by the Virginia and Leonard Marx Foundation, Department of Behavioral and Developmental Services, and Training Resource Center. Thanks to the departments employing youth this year, helping to make this summer a success!

6 DEPRESSION, FROM r.i The care manager updated Shelly's family doctor. They decided Shelly should get another call in a couple of weeks to make sure things were going all right. Thanks to the team approach of the practice, Shelly experienced remission of her symptoms, successfully completed recommended treatment, and understood enough about the illness to be alert for any signs of recurrence. MaineHealth has been working on Improving Depression Care for the last two years, with grant funding from the MacArthur Foundation and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. This spring, MaineHealth received additional funding to support two more years of development and dissemination of this program, thanks to a grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's Depression in Primary Care project. The program has two goals - to spread the clinical model of depression care to additional primary care practices and to work with those who pay for care to develop mechanisms to financially support the model and provide incentives to primary care practices to adopt it. The care manager is a key part of the model. Other features include connecting primary care practices to psychiatrists for oversight of their care of patients with depression, helping patients become more actively involved in their own care, helping practices develop mechanisms to keep track of people they are treating for depression to make sure they are getting the care they need, and using a patient questionnaire to track symptoms and be sure people are reaching their treatment goals. Family physician Neil Korsen, MD, MS, is MaineHealth's principal investigator for the grant. 'This is an exciting opportunity for us, not only to work with primary care practices to implement a proven model to enhance the care they provide for patients with depression, but to work creatively with those who pay for health care to develop ways to pay for new approaches to care,' says Dr. 6 Korsen. 'Our employer and health plan partners recognize that high quality care of chronic illnesses such as depression requires a partnership between patient and practice not currently supported by the fee for service payment mechanism.' Several MaineHealth affiliated organizations are taking part in this project, including the Maine PHO, Spring Harbor Hospital, and the Behavioral Health Care Program. Other organizations are collaborating, including the Maine Health Management Coalition (MHMC), the Maine Healthcare Purchasing Collaborative, the Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance, National Alliance for the Mentally III, Maine Chapter, Anthem Blue Cross/Blue Shield, and the Maine Department of Health and Human Services. 'The employers in the MHMC are anxious to learn more about the impact effective depression care has on the functioning of their workforce,' says Doug Libby, executive director ofthe MHMC, an employer coalition whose members include public sector employers, private businesses, hospitals, health plans, and physicians. 'They are also interested in understanding how they might improve the payment mechanisms to better support provider efforts to improve care of depression.' Primary care clinicians participating in activities that led to the grant are also excited about this opportunity. 'This is a team approach for treating depression, where patients and providers feel supported,' says Mark Rolfe, MD, Primary Care Medical Director, MaineGeneral Health Associates. Primary care clinicians from 13 practices are currently involved in the project. An additional twelve practices will be recruited to participate next year. Practices are participating in a Learning Collaborative, which is a model for teaching practices about new ideas and helping them integrate those ideas into day-to-day practice. A key feature of this approach is that practices work together and learn from each other. After nearly 40 years at MMe, Grace Bryant, RN, retired this summer. She was most recently Night Nursing Supervisor. AV Photo. a The Brain Injury Association of Maine presents its 14thAnnual Walk for Brain Injury Prevention on Sunday, September 28.
