Glossary

Assessment: Actions taken following a positive screen to provide a more comprehensive or in-depth picture of an individual patient’s specific physical health condition(s) and to determine the best service plan to address them

Care management: Activities designed to assist patients and their support systems in managing medical conditions and related psychosocial problems more effectively, with the aims of improving patients’ functional health status, enhancing the coordination of care, eliminating the duplication of services, and reducing the need for expensive medical services.

Clinical discipline: A person’s professional training e.g., Medical Doctor (MD) / psychiatrist/ Advanced Practice Nurse (APN)/ social worker, etc.

Clinical registry/tracking system: The system your program uses to track when and how often patients are seen, the timing and results of physical health screenings (SAMHSA-required physical health indicators, e.g., lipids, blood pressure), and timing of scheduled follow-up appointments. This system may include more (although not likely less) information.

Early intervention: Interventions that are appropriate for, and specifically target, people displaying the early signs and symptoms of a physical health condition.

Infrastructure activities: Activities that change resources and systems used for administrative or patient care purposes in your clinic. For example, if you spent money on changing your medical records, describe the activity and the staff involved, and provide an estimate of the expenditures in direct costs.

Key primary care services: Assessment, screening, treatment of physical health conditions, referral to physical health specialists

Mental Health / Behavioral Health: Substance use, psychology, psychiatry.

Prevention: Interventions that occur before the initial onset of a physical health condition to prevent the development of that condition.

Qualitative data collection methods: Interviews, focus groups, etc.

Role: The position and/or function a person serves in a clinic (e.g., care manager, primary care service provider, mental health specialty provider, peer counselor, etc.)

Screening: Refers to a preliminary procedure, such as a test or examination (e.g., blood pressure for hypertension, cholesterol for coronary artery disease), to detect the most characteristic sign(s) of a physical health condition that may require urgent attention or further investigation.

TRAC: (TRansformation ACcountability). Web-based database system. The TRAC will capture performance measures generated by key foci of CMHS programs: client services and infrastructure development. TRAC is the web-based system that supports the NOMs tool; NOMs data are entered into TRAC.

Treatment: The application of an evidence-based care plan for individuals with diagnosed physical health conditions, which includes progress indicators, expected outcomes, and access to medical, surgical, and rehabilitation treatments as appropriate.

Wellness: Health in mind, body and spirit.

Wellness-related education and programming activities: Activities that promote wellness in mind, body, and spirit. They may include educational activities (e.g., nutrition education, physical activity education), physical activities (e.g., yoga classes, walking groups), and psychosocial activities (e.g., peer support programs, health-focused social functions).

1 Note—each question should be answered with regards to both your program’s core (i.e., screening/assessment/treatment and referral, registry/tracking system, care management, prevention/early intervention/wellness support, and processes for referral/follow up regarding off-site treatment) and optional features (i.e., use of SBIRT and/or other evidence-based practices, primary care supervising physician, embedded nurse care manager, etc.).
