5 INFORMATIONAL UPDATES Susie Stark Bridget Carson Shane Perry Rhonda Lockett 5

6 TRIPLE AIM: A KIDNEY DISEASE MODEL A strategic plan; Focused on patients and beneficiaries with kidney disease ( CKD and ESRD)

7 Triple Aim: A Kidney Disease Model A report for discussion Developed by the Forum of ESRD Networks Scope of work for Networks is under development To be compatible with the philosophy outlined in Dr. Berwick s Triple Aim 7

8 Goal Better care for individuals Better care for populations Lower costs through improvement For patients with CKD and ESRD, over time and across settings 8

9 Commit to Patient centeredness and engagement Reduce disparities Align the public and private sectors 9

10 To achieve these goals and commitments Utilize as a framework for action the National Priorities Partnership (NPP) recommendations and the HHS National Strategy and Plan 10

11 NPP Recommendations Engage Patients and Families Improve Safety and Reduce Harm Ensure Receipt of Well Coordinated Care Palliative and End of Life Care Equitable Access to Affordable Care Overuse and Waste Improve Population Health Infrastructure Support 11

12 Engage Patients and Families (CKD and early ESRD focused) 1. Deploy shared decision making tools in the following areas= Prevention of ESRD (slow progression): Rationale: slowing progression of ESRD markedly decreases costs and improves outcomes Requirements: National CKD campaign know your number Family history Modality Choice: Rationale: Home therapies are less expensive, have superior to equivalent outcomes, and empower patient Promote medical management without dialysis and no treatment choice Transplantation Mental Health Issues advocacy for appropriate mental health interventions Health literacy Rehabilitation 2. Use results of patient experience of care and patient satisfaction surveys such as ICH- CAHPS (In-center Hemodialysis Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems) Other activities for future consideration Create a clearinghouse of patient educational materials and deploy at the point of care and concurrent with care delivery

13 Critical Success Factors Buy-in and engagement of all public and private sector stakeholders Appropriate authority and the ability to establish relationships for the Networks to engage over time and across settings, i.e. not be confined to the ESRD patient population and the dialysis facilities Sufficient funding. 13

14 Next steps Engage in discussions and seek approval from CMS Review the legislative mandate authorizing the ESRD Network Program Engage in discussions and seek buy-in from the individual Networks and the relevant stakeholders Create multi-stakeholder workgroups to develop plans, with phased role out, for the support infrastructure priority recommendations ( list the support priorities) Conduct prioritizations exercises for the implementation priorities ( list the 7 priorities) (create criteria for conducting the priorities, e.g. cost and frequency burden, potential for improvement, difficulty in conducting the improvement) Consider establishing a steering committee to facilitate continued buy-in and action. 14

15 5 Diamond Patient Safety Program The Renal Network launched the 5 Diamond Safety Program throughout ESRD Network 4, 9 and 10 in May 2010 The program is voluntary & participants are recognized as they attain Diamond Status by completing one or more safety modules We are planning future WebEx training sessions to encourage more facilities to enroll The program goals are To build a patient safety culture in every dialysis unit To promote patient safety values To create an awareness of patient safety issues To help dialysis units learn more about specific areas of patient safety 15

16 5 Diamond Patient Safety Program Modules: Patient Safety Principles (the only mandatory module) Decreasing Patient & Provider Conflict Emergency Preparedness Flu Vaccination Hand Hygiene & Infection Control Medication Reconciliation Missed Treatments Health Literacy Patient Self-Managed Care Sharps Safety Slips, Trips & Falls Stenosis Surveillance 16

18 CROWNWeb Update CROWNWeb 2.0 (Phase 3) -- moved to April 2011 Reason for delay: Development of a new QualityNet Identity Management System Current users will be converted to the new identity management system Will utilize multifactor authentication methodologies Networks 4, 9 & 10 have met CMS requirement for acquiring units to participate in CW2.0 > 60 units across TRN will be using CW 18

19 CROWNWeb Update CROWNWeb 3.0 (National implementation) -- Summer 2011 Many change/enhancement requests made in Phases 1 & 2 will be implemented Look of the screens and the flow of information will improve Expectation of additional CPMs will be supported More reports for users and access to data by Networks Additional training should be offered approximately six weeks prior to release date, and is available online 19

49 TRANSPLANT REFERRAL PROJECTS Judy Stevenson, RN 49

50 ORGAN PROCUREMENT/TRANSPLANTATION COMMITTEE Network 4 has engaged Amy Waterman to present her program, Explore Transplant. It uses a train the trainer approach to help patients make informed decisions on both deceased and living donor transplant options. One program in Philadelphia March 30 One Program in Pittsburgh - April 12 Transplant centers will attend and also be vendors OPO agencies have volunteered meeting space 50

51 OP/TC (CONTD) Dr. Ash Segal presented an NIH-funded trial he would like the Network to participate in. The premise is that transplant recipients can be used as navigators to assist other patients through the transplant process. Transplant centers in The Renal Network were contacted and participated on a conference call this month. The centers that agree to participate in the study will contribute $16,000 towards the salary of the navigator. Data will be collected to determine the impact on referrals. 51

52 Transplant Collaborative Regional Project Networks 4, 9 & 10 Network 11 Network 12 CMS Kansas City Regional Office Educational Focus Explore Transplant Transplant Navigator Donation Options WebEx Platform Objective: Increase awareness of dialysis facility staff and develop processes that lead to increase transplant referral rates. 52
