Environmental scan 2000: issues facing state mental health agencies.

With the new millennium, state mental health agencies (SMHAs) are facing a variety of new issues. In this article, the authors report on the changes in state mental health systems that have occurred during the 2 years between interviews conducted with directors of each SMHA. While issues such as managed care, the influence of state Medicaid waivers on the development of public/private partnerships, and federal welfare reform continued to be key concerns, directors are focusing more on other issues such as assessing SMHA operations, establishing linkages with other state health and human service agencies, and inculcating new knowledge, technologies, and model practices.

Asthma. The states' challenge.

At the national level, asthma is increasingly being recognized as an important public health problem. Because of the significant role of environmental exposure in asthma morbidity, public health agencies have a critical role to play in the surveillance and prevention of the disease. In April 1996, the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists, with assistance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, surveyed state and territorial public health departments to determine the status of their asthma surveillance and intervention programs. Of the 51 health departments that responded, only eight reported that they had implemented an asthma control program within the previous 10 years. Reasons cited for not having programs included lack of funds, shortage of personnel, and asthma not being a priority. Most states were unable to assess the burden of asthma because they lack data or face barriers to using existing data. Removing barriers to the use of data is a first step toward defining the scope of the asthma problem.

Universal coverage and public health: new state studies.

Recent evaluations of the California Health Service Plan (CHSP) confirmed that financing health care through a single government payer can provide universal coverage-while saving significantly on health care spending-to a degree unparalleled by alternative approaches. Public ownership of the delivery system can further provide authority and accountability for critical reforms that improve the population's health and quality of care, including coordination of the delivery system. The federal government's State Planning Grant Program provides states with funding to develop plans to cover their uninsured populations. California created a Health Care Options Project that requested proposals that could expand coverage and contracted with a financial modeler and a qualitative analyst to evaluate the resulting plans. The CHSP was one of 9 plans evaluated through this process.

Regulating the cost of institutional healthcare through competitive bidding.

A system for prospective rate setting based on the theory of auctions is proposed. In order to guarantee that competition will achieve public health goals, the State Health Planning and Development Agency will issue a limited number of patient day certificates. Hospitals can obtain these certificates by offering bids in the form of rate increases. Hospitals offering low rate increases will receive patient day certificates with authorized rate increases equal to their own proposed rate increases plus a bonus. Hospitals offering high rate increases will receive only a base rate increase equal to the smallest rate increase offered by any hospital. This approach enjoys the cost minimizing benefits of competition while restraining hospital capital expenditures.
