6 MOQI Primary Project Goals Reduce avoidable hospitalizations via four aspects of APRN Care Coordination 1. Condition management 2. Early illness detection 3. INTERACT 4. End-of-life/Advanced care planning AND integrate health information technology into patient care processes 6

7 2018 MOQI Project Goals Reduce infections and hospitalizations related to infections through educational opportunities provided to nursing homes Increase and sustain use of INTERACT tools at fully engaged level Increase and enhance meaningful care conversations about serious illness and advanced care planning Increase use of bi-directional portals in all nursing homes Refine Quality Improvement processes for guidelines of Phase 2 billable conditions and feedback reports for billing Develop, test, and implement APRN feedback reports for preventable hospitalizations 100% of nursing facilities adoption of secure communication tools for texting and ing Achieve and sustain the Phase 1 hospitalization rate below

8 HIT Intervention Promote the use of healthcare information technology (HIT) to improve the care of patients and communication among team members Pursue integration and interoperability of all aspects of technology solutions Train team members and nursing home staff regarding use of technology and workflow Lead evaluation of software/components to be used in technological solutions Systematic Feedback Reports to Users 8
