Prescribing. There was a provision in MCDCD49 allowing an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) who is certified in psychiatric mental health by a national certifying organization to prescribe atypical antipsychotics and antidepressant drugs without going through prior authorization. This provision already exists for psychiatrists. Given the existing high rate of prescribing for “preferred” agents, we do not anticipate a material shift in volume to more expensive agents.
Prescribing. Appropriately trained prescribers will undertake prescribing for patients in areas of agreed clinical need.
Prescribing. Resident shall use the Saint Xxxxx XXX number with appropriate personal identifiers when prescribing pharmaceuticals, in accordance with Saint Xxxxx policy.
Prescribing. Controlled Substance Policy/Philosophy: Conservative. Ultimately at discretion of provider. Injectables: On site.
Prescribing. The aim is to have prescribing as part of many roles where it is deemed beneficial to patients / clients and service. Prescribing will be a skill for many staff and will in the majority of cases be one element of the role of the Advanced Practitioner. On its own prescribing does not make a role an Advanced Practitioner role. Summary The education required for Advanced Practitioner roles across the North West is at Masters Level. This will be provided within a multi-professional modular portfolio, which in the majority of cases will be part of the three levels of proficiency described above. Individuals who already have a relevant Masters Qualification will not be required to undertake another Masters degree. The APF is driven by the requirement to develop new roles and new ways of working that deliver safe, modernised and personalised services to patients/service users. The portfolio of education developed to support advanced practice should be delivered within a robust governance framework, which is intended to be both responsive to service needs and include a focus upon: • Flexibility - Providing Service with choice and flexibility delivered through a modular portfolio of education shaped by service need • Accessibility - Providing service with innovative systems of delivery including work based learning • Portability - Enabling academic credit and shared skills and competencies to be transferred between HEI’s and health and care organisations

Comprehensive Primary Care (CPC). A portion of the MMC population is enrolled in the Ohio CPC program, and the MCPs may be required to pay gain sharing payments to participating providers. To receive a gain sharing payment, a provider would need to achieve a cost of care level lower than historical levels. For this reason, no adjustment is applied in the CY 2019 rate setting process for CPC, as gain sharing payments are assumed to be offset by the cost of care savings achieved by the CPC providers. Dental Program Changes. Effective July 1, 2018, Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) was included as a covered dental benefit in the MMC program for all ages. In addition, effective January 1, 2018, coverage for tobacco cessation and counseling services are a covered dental benefit. Based on information provided by ODM, we estimated coverage of SDF and tobacco cessation to be budget neutral.
