PPRS Research Forum: Treatment Notes: Objective Measures of Language Style Point to Clinical Insights

Speakers: Leon Hoffman, Jane Algus, William Braun, Wilma Bucci, Bernard Maskit, John Porcerelli

This session presents the systematic evaluation of the language of treatment notes written by psychoanalytic candidates for fourteen analyses carried out under supervision at the NY Psychoanalytic Institute. The notes were analyzed using computerized measures of the referential process developed by Bucci and Maskit. This session explores how linguistic measures mirror the clinical course, comparing one successful with one unsuccessful case. The measures point to nodal periods in the analytic work, which were clinically examined to ascertain why one case progressed, with a successful termination, while the other did not, ending with a forced interruption by the analyst.

Policy Institute – Transgender Health Coverage

Speakers: André Wilson, MS; Jamison Green, PhD; Cecilia Chung; Susanne Watson, PhD

Challenges and work-arounds in implementation. We will discuss the continuing barriers to access reported by healthcare providers and patients alike both in inclusive plans and those with exclusions: challenges in prior authorization and claims processing, limited provider networks, and outdated insurer medical guidelines. We will provide information on documentation, procedure and diagnosis codes so providers can minimize denials and succeed with billing and appeals, and discuss strategies for direct advocacy with insurers. We will continue with an overview of progress towards inclusion, best practices and indispensable advocacy tools such as the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) Equality Indexes (MEI, CEI) and professional association interventions. Comparing progress towards trans*-inclusive benefits in the healthcare industry with other professional sectors. The role healthcare providers can play in eliminating exclusions in their own sector. Outdated medical policies currently used by most insurers remain a central barrier. We will discuss our draft “Model Guideline” and issues posed by utilization management systems. We will also look at the progress made by the Healthy San Francisco program, and by Kaiser Permanente.
