Program Phases

  • Phase I

– Focus on transitions of care – Self-directed stream (Q and Q+)

  • Future Phases

– Broaden focus to include chronic disease management, independence and safety – More intensive level of support – Implementation later in 2013

slide-15
SLIDE 15

14

Phase I - Self-Directed Stream Transitions of Care

  • Self-Directed “Q” (for Quality)

– Individual organizations from any sector register directly with HQO – Able to access change packages and step-by-step guides to improvement – Able to participate in all virtual learning activities – No obligation to report data, but encouraged to use the reporting system to help them track their progress

slide-16
SLIDE 16

15

Phase I - Self-Directed Stream Transitions of Care

  • Self-Directed “Q+” (Quality Plus)
  • Participating organizations benefit from all the materials offered to

Q participants, plus direct HQO QI coaching and other supports.

  • Q+ organizations must:

– Undergo a readiness assessment – Agree to become part of a QI team involving the local hospital, CCAC and its providers, primary care, community care, and long-term care – Agree to basic data collection and reporting

slide-17
SLIDE 17

Model for Improvement for Phase I

  • 1. What are we trying to Accomplish?

i) Improvements in 7 & 30 day readmissions ii) Improvements in measures of patient experience for discharge transitions

  • 2. How will we know that a change is an improvement?

i) Changes in measures above ii) Process measures for adoption of best practices

  • 3. What change can we make that will result in improvement?

i) Best practices for transitions

slide-20
SLIDE 20

Transitions

Best Practices for Transitions

  • Assess for risk of readmission within 30 days
  • f discharge; plan and schedule appropriate

follow up as per readmission risk

− For individuals deemed moderate to high risk for readmission (i.e., LACE score ≥ 10) treat discharge as a formal transfer of care − Timely follow-up appointments confirmed prior to discharge − “Warm handoffs” involving discharging and receiving clinician

19

slide-21
SLIDE 21

Transitions

Best Practices for Transitions

  • Medication reconciliation at key transition points
  • Conduct individualized care and discharge planning:

− Health literacy assessment at admission − Use of “teach back” - ensure person understands care plan, treatments, how to manage symptoms, when/who to ask for help − Timely, written discharge documentation completed − Written discharge instructions to patients − Written discharge plans distributed to next care provider and primary care

20

slide-22
SLIDE 22

Independence / Safety

Future Phases: Independence and Safety

  • Enable the person to take a central role in their health and

create a safe environment:

− Assess health literacy and ensure person understands how to manage their health and care − Support the development of goals that are meaningful and important to the person

  • Enhance the person’s ability to live independently and safely :
  • Implement OHTAC “Aging in the Community’ recommendations:

− Falls prevention − Targeted conditioning / exercise / rehabilitation − Caregiver support

21

slide-23
SLIDE 23

Future Phases: Chronic Disease Management

Chronic Disease Management

  • Structured visits:
  • Use chronic disease flow sheets and clinical practice guidelines

(CPGs) to guide care planning and discussion during each visit with a patient with chronic illness

  • Leverage information systems:
  • Use alerts and/or electronic recall functions, flag patients who require

specific interventions, plan specialist consultations

  • Coordinate care across disciplines including:
  • Specialists, nurse practitioners and allied health care professionals,

creating a multidisciplinary team with shared accountability to provide care

Experiences in the Community

What we hear:

  • “Don’t you people talk to each other?”
  • “How often do I need to tell my story?”
  • “Why won’t you listen to me?”
  • “Don’t you already have that lab/X-ray result?”
  • “Do you know who I should talk to if I need help?”
  • “How can you be sure I won’t get lost in the system?”

What we surmise:

The components work, the system doesn’t … so …

We need to improve the experience, the transitions, the hand-offs … which … Should help to improve satisfaction

slide-27
SLIDE 27

Improve Transitions - Integrated Patient Care

“Patient care that is coordinated across professionals, facilities, and support systems; continuous over time and between visits; tailored to the patients’ needs and preferences; and based on shared responsibility between patients and caregivers for optimizing health.” To measure integrated patient care, consider seven dimensions:

  • Coordination with a care team
  • Coordination across care teams
  • Coordination between care teams and community resources
  • Continuous familiarity with the patient over time
  • Continuous proactive and responsive action between visits
  • Patient-centred
  • Shared responsibility

Proof of Concept

  • Clinical Evaluation: Initial Findings After 3 Visits

– "Based on projections from the initial screen of patients, 20 to 30 patients of every 100 enrolled would be expected to have a cardiac event (heart attack or stroke) within the next 10 years. – By being entered in this program and altering their CVD risk profile, (based on the preliminary analysis) we are able to reduce this number of people at risk for a heart attack or stroke to from 20-30 to 10-15 out of the same hundred. – This represents up to a 50 percent decrease, which is impressive and consistent with what is typically seen in the clinical trial setting. – This demonstrates that a community working together can achieve clinical trial

  • utcomes.

– A full outcome and economic analysis is currently underway."

  • A multi-stakeholder partnership is feasible and can be used in a real world

setting as we aspire to obtain clinical study outcomes.

Findings

  • With appropriate systems in place significant change

can happen in the Primary Care setting.

  • The present data is sufficient to prove the

effectiveness of the model and begin the roll-out to

  • ther teams. The data supports the claim that the

algorithm works to improve cardiovascular risk.

  • There are therapeutic and team benefits from working

collaboratively to implement the model, as evidenced by the modification in risk factors for patients.

How can we improve care for patients who are in transition into, from, and and between our health care institutions? Presented by: Dr Ken Hook, STAR Family Health Team, Tavistock

slide-54
SLIDE 54

The Case of Mrs. H

  • 87 years old
  • Admitted from ER
  • Sudden onset of loss of strength right leg
  • Previous treatment for metastatic thyroid

cancer

  • Co-morbidities- hypertension, hypothyroid,

anemia

  • X-rays showed multiple boney metastases with

pathologic fracture of pelvis

53

slide-55
SLIDE 55

The Case of Mrs. H

  • The patient - minimal pain, her goals
  • The previous family doctor
  • The specialist
  • The nurse
  • The physiotherapist
  • The occupational therapist
  • The CCAC case manager
  • The family doctor of the attached LTC

54

slide-56
SLIDE 56

The Case of Mrs. H

  • Discharged 12 days later
  • Discharge summary dictated and transcribed

day of discharge, new family doctor notified

  • Her new family doctor saw her at home 3 days

later

  • Her radiation oncologist to call her

55

slide-57
SLIDE 57

The Case of Mrs. H

  • Satisfactory outcome for the patient
  • Satisfying for the professionals involved
  • Key component was timely assessments and

communication between all the providers in the circle of care

  • Don’t you wonder if we could have done it in

fewer days?

56

slide-58
SLIDE 58

The Case of Mr. F

  • 55 years old, schizophrenic, from LTC
  • Admitted in heart failure to large urban hospital
  • Stabilized and discharged
  • Family doctor difficult to contact, seemed

uninterested

  • Follow-up at hospital based clinic after 28 days,

no meds or meds list, visit “useless”

57

slide-59
SLIDE 59

Barriers to smooth transitions

  • Timely discharge summaries - dictated, typed,

received by follow-up provider, including LTC?

  • Primary care- able to provide timely follow-up?

How soon to the next available appointment?

  • When a patient is in trouble can they reach

their family doctor or can they access acute care only through the ER? Does the ER try to contact the family doctor for information? Ward clerk could do!

58

slide-60
SLIDE 60

More on barriers

  • For house bound patients under care of CCAC is

their primary care physician willing to see them at home in a crisis?

  • If the family doctor is available, is she/he able to

arrange appropriate investigations and care in their community?

  • Is there any dialogue between providers at time of

transition- both admission and discharge?

  • Are CCAC health reports completed by physicians in

timely manner?

59

slide-61
SLIDE 61

More on barriers

  • Do patients admitted to hospital have timely

investigations and consults and who puts it all together?

  • Timely transfers to long-term care?

Weekends?

  • For residents in long-term care is acute care

available or are residents sent to the emergency room for acute problems that could be managed there?

60

slide-62
SLIDE 62

Factors for improving patient transitions

  • Timely responses and assessments by all

providers in the circle of care

  • Effective communication between the team

members in the circle of care

  • Effective bridges between key players-

primary care, hospitals, CCAC, long-term care

61

slide-63
SLIDE 63

How do we improve?

  • Dialogue at the local level about how we can

build the bridges help each other to improve.

  • The dialogue needs to include all the key

players- primary care, hospitals, CCAC, and long-term care

  • “What needs to happen to improve transitions

for our patients?” “How can we help you with

  • ur patients”

62

slide-64

Why Focus on readmissions?

Presented by: Patti Cochrane, The Credit Valley Hospital and Trillium Health Centre

slide-66
SLIDE 66

Why focus on readmissions?

  • Most “acute illnesses” are now actually exacerbations of chronic

diseases, so patients never leave the hospital in a perfect state

  • f health
  • Hospital admissions have become shorter, so patients are sicker

at discharge

  • 1% of the population consume 34% of healthcare resources
  • Large “voltage drop” in the intensity of care at the time of

discharge
