slide-45
SLIDE 45

Objectives

At the end of this presentation:

  • Describe Transitional Care Coordination (TCC)
  • Demonstrate the application of a traditional TCC

program on a trauma patient population

  • Demonstrate the elements of a Trauma TCC

program to improve patient outcomes

  • Describe the impact of a Trauma TCC program
  • n reducing readmissions
slide-46
SLIDE 46

Significance of a Readmission

  • Affordable Care Act 30

day readmission rate

  • Quality indicator
  • Healthcare costs
slide-47
SLIDE 47

Background

Unplanned 30-day readmissions after trauma

  • 2-fold increase in 1-year risk of death
  • 3-fold increase in per-patient expense
slide-48
SLIDE 48

Background

One fourth of annual Medicare expenditures

  • Hospital Readmission Reduction Program
  • Introduced in 2012

Already expanded to

  • Heart attack/failure
  • Pneumonia
  • COPD
  • Hip/knee replacement
  • CABG
slide-49
SLIDE 49

Shock Trauma Center Readmissions

  • 15.1% readmission rate in 2012
  • 1 in 7 patients readmitted to the

acute care setting

  • Opportunity for nursing to

improve the quality of recovery and decrease readmissions

slide-50
SLIDE 50

Background

Transitional Care Coordination

  • Focuses on highly vulnerable, chronically ill patients
  • Time-limited
  • Emphasis on education of patients and family caregivers
slide-51
SLIDE 51

Background

Transitional Care Coordination

Proven effective in reducing 30-day readmission rates in patients with complex medical conditions In particular:

  • Active care coordination by a nurse
  • Active medication reconciliation
  • Communication between PCP and hospital
  • Home visit
slide-52
SLIDE 52

Transitional Care Coordination

Definition: “…the ongoing support of patients and their families over time as they navigate care and relationships among more than one provider and/or more than one health care service (Haas,Swan & Haynes,2014, p.3). Transitional Care Coordination process definition: “…care coordination and transition management necessitates professional assessment, patient risk identification and stratification, and identification of individual patient needs and preferences…” (Coleman & Boult,2003,p.556)

slide-53
SLIDE 53

The Transitional Care Coordination Model

  • Standardized by the American Academy of Ambulatory

Care Nurses (AAACN)

  • Support along a recovery continuum
  • Professional assessment
  • Risk stratification for readmission
  • Identification of needs and resources
slide-54
SLIDE 54

Trauma is increasingly becoming a chronic disease

slide-55
SLIDE 55

Trauma is increasingly becoming a chronic disease Could we design and implement a TRAUMA transitional care coordination program?

slide-56
SLIDE 56

Objectives

  • Identify trauma patients at high risk for readmission
  • Enroll in specially designed Trauma Transitional Care

Coordination program

slide-57
SLIDE 57

Objectives

Primary Outcome Reduce 30-day readmission rate Secondary Outcomes Trauma clinic follow-up Primary care provider follow-up Patient perception of program and ability to care for self

slide-58
SLIDE 58

Trauma Transitional Care Coordination

  • Meet identified patient prior to discharge
  • Call to patient (or caregiver) within 72 hours of discharge to

identify barriers to care

  • Complete medication reconciliation
  • Coordination of medical appointments or home visits
  • Individualized problem solving
slide-59
SLIDE 59

Methods

Identifying patients at high risk for readmission

Literature review Expert opinion

  • Nurses
  • Case managers
  • Intensivists
  • Trauma surgeons
slide-60
SLIDE 60

Methods

  • Collected information on all 30-day readmissions
  • Rate was compared to population, risk-adjusted

benchmark for 30-day readmission rate

  • Staudenmayer et al
  • Trauma readmissions linked across California, stratified by injury

severity

slide-61
SLIDE 61

Methods

  • Collected data on completed outpatient trauma and

primary care provider appointments

  • 10-item exit-questionnaire completed over the phone
slide-62
SLIDE 62

Results

slide-63
SLIDE 63

“I would not have gotten through without the TTCC program”

slide-64
SLIDE 64

What we found

Common themes

  • Lack understanding of disease

management

  • Unable to navigate the health

care system

  • No knowledge of community

resources

  • No primary care physician (PCP)
slide-65
SLIDE 65

Identified Risk Factors

Social Factors Any previous readmission Poor or absent home assistance or home care services Poor or absent insurance Medical History Psychiatric disease Drug abuse Multiple co-morbidities without primary care Trauma Sequelae Pulmonary embolism without PCP Vascular injury without PCP New tracheostomy New traumatic brain injury High output fistula Large, open wounds before definitive closure

slide-66
SLIDE 66

“I had so many doctors it was too hard for me to remember everything. TTCC helped me with a system to remember what I needed to do for each doctor and problem” “TTCC showed me a better way to stretch out my pain meds and made me understand the importance of taking my Coumadin”

slide-67
SLIDE 67

Results

260 enrollees between January 2014-September 2015

33.3% uninsured 45.4% current substance abuse 29.1% current psychiatric diagnosis 60% had multiple co-morbidities without a primary care provider

slide-68
SLIDE 68

Results

260 enrollees between January 2014-September 2015

Average age = 41 y/o Mean ISS = 14.6 Mean length of stay = 11 days 53% White 73% Blunt trauma

slide-69
SLIDE 69

96.6% Follow-up Only 9 patients of 260 lost to follow up

slide-70
SLIDE 70

“I had 9 doctors I was supposed to follow up with after rehab. TTCC sorted it all out and even doubled up on some of them” “TTCC showed me how to get transportation

  • help. I don’t know what

we would have done.”

slide-71
SLIDE 71
slide-72
SLIDE 72

Results

  • 30-day readmission rate was 6.6% (n=16)
  • Population, risk adjusted benchmark = 17%
  • p=<0.001
slide-73
SLIDE 73

Results

  • 16 patients with 30-day readmissions
  • 8 Preventable Readmissions

Inadequate culture follow-up (1) Symptomatic pleural effusion (1) Incorrect discharge medications (1) Inappropriate discharge location (5)

slide-74
SLIDE 74

Results

74% attended outpatient trauma clinic within 14 days of discharge 44% attended new primary care provider appointments within 30 days of discharge

slide-75
SLIDE 75

“I would not be better today if it had not been for the TTCC. She was a tremendous help” “Sometimes it seemed like it would have been easier to go to the ED, but I did learn how to take care of myself”

slide-76
SLIDE 76

Results

  • 61.7% completed the exit questionnaire
  • All agreed “I feel more prepared and in more control of my

new healthcare needs. I am able to take care of myself and my new normal”

  • All also agreed
  • TTCC helped understand medications and how to take them
  • TTCC helped sort out multiple appointments
slide-77
SLIDE 77

“I have many problems that I will have for a lifetime I am sure. The TTCC made it so I could handle my issues one at a time. Life isn’t so bad. I can do this.”

slide-78
SLIDE 78

Limitations

Comparison population

Variability in reported readmission rates

  • Collection method (single-center vs. population based)

Risk stratification

  • Injury severity alone
  • Did not take into account added risk associated with
  • Previous hospital admissions
  • Increased number of comorbidities
  • Lack of resources
  • Psychiatric history
slide-79
SLIDE 79

Potential Financial Impact

University of Maryland Medical Center

  • Up to 1% reward or 2% penalty of at risk revenue
  • Based on comparison to hospital’s previous performance

Posted a loss of $860,116 (based on 2013 readmissions)

slide-80
SLIDE 80

Potential Financial Impact

Total yearly budget for TTCC: $310,000 On track to receive $3,000,000 REWARD

slide-81
SLIDE 81

Conclusions

  • Significantly lower 30-day readmission rates (6.6% vs.

17%)

  • Long-term follow-up is feasible
  • Better outpatient resource utilization
  • High patient satisfaction
  • Cost effective

Delirium Tremens

  • Result of no treatment/undertreatment (failure to rescue)
  • Hallmark is delirium: rapid fluctuation of consciousness → Disorientation
  • Autonomic symptoms (↑HR, ↑BP, ↑T, sweating, N&V, tremor, anxiety)
  • Seizures & Coma
  • Mortality
  • Historically (w/o treatment 15%)
  • Currently (w treatment <2%)

Treatment Strategies - Timing

Fixed Tapered Regimen →→

  • Historically BZDs administered

in scheduled fashion

  • Gradually tapered over 4-7 days

Symptom Triggered Regimen

  • Use of validated assessment tool
  • Early aggressive tx:
  • ↓ severity & duration AWS
  • ↓ benzo drug dosage
  • ↓ vent & ICU days

Rank Order:

  • 1. Dexmedetomidine
  • 2. Haloperidol
  • 3. Quetiapine
  • 4. Propofol
  • 5. Clonidine or Olanzapine
  • 6. Phenobarb

Phenob

  • barbital
  • Binds to GABA receptors → prolongs Cl- channel opening
  • Outcomes similar to benzodiazepines
  • Most useful in severe AWS
  • Onset 5 minutes, peaks 30 min, half life 3-4 days
  • Dose: 260mg IV followed by 130mg IV q 30 min to sedation
  • Caution:
  • Narrow therapeutic index, long half life, making titration difficult
  • Higher likelihood of respiratory depression and coma→ intubation

Dexmed edetom

  • midine (

e (Pr Precedex)

  • alpha2 adrenergic agonist- ↓ sympathetic outflow – ↓ norepinephrine
  • Reduces autonomic symptoms with less sedation than Clonidine
  • Rapid onset (≈15 min), short half life (2 hr), titratable
  • Continuous Infusion: 0.2 to 0.7 ug/kg/h titrated to effect
  • Produces calm wakefulness without respiratory depression
  • Adverse effects: bradycardia (titratable)
  • Consistently reported to lower BZD requirements

2015 Systematic Review:

  • Dexmedetomidine + BZD superior to BZD alone in ICU patients with DTs:
  • ↓ delirium ↓ CIWA & RASS scores

alpha2 agonist

Ha Haloperidol ( (Ha Haldo dol)

  • Neuroleptic antipsychotic with dopaminergic blocking activity
  • Used to control severe agitation/hallucinations
  • 0.5-5.0 mg IV or IM q30-60 min (not to exceed 20mg) OR
  • 0.5-5.0 mg PO q4hr up to 30mg

Caution

  • lowers seizure threshold
  • prolongs QT interval
  • Associated with higher mortality, longer delirium, ↑ risk of seizures
  • Reserve for pts in AWS with underlying psychiatric disorders
  • Others antipsychotics: risperidone, quetiapine, olanzapine

2014 Systematic Review

Most studies methodologically flawed Lack of validated scale use Underpowered to examine seizures/DTs as outcomes

Routine use NOT currently recommended

Diprivan an)

  • Anesthetic- GABA agonist, inhibits NMDA receptors
  • Used as “Rescue” med for severe AWS → ICU on vent
  • Used when high dose benzodiazepine and phenobarbital fail
  • Rapid onset, short half-life, easy to titrate
  • 0.5–1.25 mg/kg, up to 4mg/kg/hr, for up to 48 hrs
  • Side Effect: bradycardia & hypotension
  • Higher incidence of cardiovascular effects, mechanical

ventilation, pneumonia

Anesthetic

Ketamine

  • Antagonizes NMDA receptor
  • Few small retrospective studies for severe AWS
  • Reduce BZDs, ↓ intubation, ↓ICU LOS
  • Continuous Infusion: 0.15-0.3 mg/kg/hr until delirium resolved

Beta B Block cker ers

  • B-adrenergic antagonists -reduce AWS autonomic symptoms
  • Primarily reserved for AWS patients with coronary artery

disease

  • Atenolol (Tenormin) most commonly used
  • Avoid Propranolol → worsens delirium

2000 Addiction Specialist:

To my consternation…. surgical textbooks have advocated giving ethanol IV for alcohol withdrawal. It is more toxic than benzodiazepines, harder to administer and requires monitoring of blood levels not to mention the fact that it condones the use of alcohol”

slide-181
SLIDE 181

Alcohol

  • Difficult to titration
  • short duration
  • narrow therapeutic window
  • can lower seizure threshold
  • Adverse events
  • Lack of efficacy compared to BZDs
  • Minimal to weak research support
  • Not recommended
