This chartbook describes Maine’s historical trends in meeting the needs of adults with ID/ASD through institutional and community based services in comparison to other states; a detailed analysis of the population’s utilization of different types of services and their costs in SFY 2010; the implementation of the Supports Intensity Scale (SIS) as a means of identifying the supports needs of the adults with ID/ASD; and the complement of providers serving this population in Maine.

Parent reports on family experiences of care can provide health plans, systems and providers with crucial information on their performance in the domain of family-centeredness. The Maine Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) conducts an annual survey to gather this kind of information for MaineCare, the state of Maine’s Medicaid and Child Health Insurance (CHIP) program.

The annual Survey of Children Served by MaineCare, which collects a wealth of data on the experiences of MaineCare families, examines the extent to which MaineCare providers follow Bright Futures guidelines during well-child visits. This fact sheet presents findings on Bright Futures adherence from the 2013 survey.

Recognizing that traditional models of health care delivery and payment often produce fragmented and costly care and poor outcomes for those with the highest needs, many reforms under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) focus on realigning payment incentives and integrating care. These reforms presuppose the existence of supporting infrastructure and capacity, including dedicated care management staffing and health information technology and exchange. With a focus on community-dwelling older adults in need of integrated physical, behavioral health services, and long term services and supports (LTSS), this brief reviews the opportunities and challenges these reform initiatives present for rural communities: How easily …

Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) is the most common form of diabetes mellitus which affects approximately 8.3% of the popula@on (diabetes.org 2013). T2D is most oDen brought on by reduced sensi@vity to insulin receptors. This is thought to be caused by a muta@on in the gene Insulin Receptor Substrate-‐ 1 (IRS-‐1). It is the suppression of IRS-‐1 that leads to inac@va@on of signaling molecules insulin signaling pathways causing insulin resistance (Victor D. H. et al). This literature review will focus on the major mechanisms of inhibi@on of the insulin signaling pathways.

Circadian rhythms, or the 24-hour biological cycles of living cells, function as the body’s internal clock. Although circadian rhythms and sleep are very different processes, they are closely related to one another as these cycles play an important role in sleeping and waking patterns. Recent studies have shown that lack of sleep or sleep of poor quality can disrupt circadian rhythms and may actually cause cognitive disorders and memory loss, facilitate false memory production, and even alter gene expression in humans. This literature review is focused on identifying the epigenetic and physiological effects of disruptions and desynchronization in circadian rhythms …

Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia, affecting approximately five million Americans. Paul Raia, PhD, Vice President, Clinical Services at the Alzheimer’s Association, MA/NH Chapters, developed a training curriculum called Caring for People with Alzheimer’s Disease: A Habilitation Training Curriculum. The Alzheimer’s Association’s Maine Chapter has been implementing this training in care facilities across Maine. The purpose of this project was to evaluate if this training is perceived as useful in direct care settings.A secondary goal of the project was to determine if this training should be adapted for use in other settings in which professionals of varying …

In Maine, a key objective of the IHOC CHIPRA demonstration grant is to collect and report on the Initial Core Set of Children’s Health Care Quality Measures (referred to as the “CHIPRA Core Measures”), a set of 24 standardized, evidence-based measures identified by CMS for use by State Medicaid and CHIP programs. This report presents the results of the 18 CHIPRA Core Measures that were collected using MaineCare claims, Vital Statistics or survey data and reported to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) for FFY 2013. Also included in this report are an additional three measures from the …
