1 Collaborative Approach to Improving Care and Reducing Readmissions Edna Clifton, MBA, BSN, RN Associate Director, Care Coordination Health Services Advisory Group (HSAG) March 14, 2017 Presentation Objectives Identify the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) strategy goals. Define the focus of Quality Innovation Network s (QIN s) work. Recognize where Florida s readmission rates rank with the nation s rates. Examine the goals of community coalitions. Identify projects that have successfully reduced readmission rates. 2 CMS Quality Strategy Goals Better Care, Healthier People, Healthier Communities, Smarter Spending 3 Source: Instruments/QualityInitiativesGenInfo/Downloads/CMS-Quality-Strategy-Goal-Card.pdf 1

2 Health and Human Services (HHS) Efforts to Improve Healthcare Tying payment to value through alternative payment models of all Medicare fee-for-service (FFS) 85% payments tied to quality or value by 2016 through alternative payment models by the end of % 30% of all FFS payments tied to quality or value by 2018 through alternative payment models by the end of % 4 Source: Burwell, Sylvia M. Setting Value-Based Payment Goals- HHS Efforts to Improve US Healthcare, New England Journal of Medicine, January 26, Policy Development Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement, Coronary Bypass Grafts, Acute Myocardial Infarction, and Cardiac Rehabilitation Proposed Rule for Discharge Planning Improving Medicare Post-Acute Care Transformation Act of 2014 (IMPACT Act) and Value-Based Purchasing (VBP) for Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNFs) 5 Medicare s Call for Action to Communities Build and sustain community coalitions focused on improving coordination of care between settings. Strengthen communication with community coalition partners in an open, non-competitive forum. Reduce hospital readmission rates for Medicare FFS patients by 20% by Improve medication safety to prevent adverse drug events that contribute to significant patient harm. 6 2

3 QIN-QIO Areas of Focus Cardiac Health Healthcare Acquired Conditions in Nursing Homes Disparities in Diabetes Value-Based Purchasing Program Patient is at the center of care Support of Clinicians in the Quality Payment Programs Coordination of Care Antibiotic Stewardship in Communities 7 What are the Readmission Rates? Readmission Definition We define a readmission as a subsequent inpatient admission to any acute-care facility which occurs within 30 days of the discharge date of an eligible index admission. 9 Source: Instruments/MMS/downloads/MMSHospital-WideAll-ConditionReadmissionRate.pdf 3

The contents presented do not necessarily reflect CMS policy. (11SOW-QINNC /13/16) Why All the Talk About Readmissions? Quality Safety Poor care coordination and use of evidence-based approaches Large number of readmissions are preventable Institute of Medicine (IOM) reports made clear the consequences of poor transitions management Cost Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) indicate $13B* in savings or $25B across all U.S. payers *MedPac 2007 Report to Congress; Promoting Greater Efficiency in Medicare; Chapter 5: Payment Policy for Inpatient 11 Readmissions Source: Riddle, S.

5 The Care Coordination Solution Measure Intervention Results Sustain or Modify the Plan Define the Problem Hospice Home Health Skilled Nursing Hospitals Discharge Process Mapping Cause & Effect Diagram (Fishbone) Action Plan for Improvement Cost-Benefit Analysis Physicians Patients Evidenced- Based Solutions Data Driven Root-Cause Analysis 13 Care Coordination Coalitions 14 The Building Blocks of a Community Coalition 15 5

6 Community Essentials Developed around collaborative care delivery Shared vision Shared mission Shared resources Shared decision making Environment of trust 16 Care Coordination Establish coalitions to bring providers together to coordinate efforts to support the CMS call to action measures Assist coalitions to identify the root cause of their readmissions Analyze processes to identify gaps which cause the failure to achieve a smooth transition from one level of care to the other Develop interventions to correct the issues Measure effectiveness of the intervention Modify processes Re-measure 17 Best Practices 6

7 Best Practices: Program to Enhance Communication to Avoid Readmissions Osceola Community Issue: Dilemma: Solution: Patients were being sent from the skilled nursing facility (SNF) to the emergency department (ED) for an issue and it was not clearly communicated to the ED why the patient was sent there. With incomplete information, the ED treated the patient based on diagnosis and emergency medical services (EMS) information. The SNF community collaborated with local ED physicians to identify critical information needed to appropriately treat the patient for that episode. 19 SNF to ED Transfer Communication Sheet 20 Best Practices: Programs to Divert Readmissions to Appropriate Providers Jacksonville Community Issue: Dilemma: Solution: Dialysis patients were presenting in the ED with fluid overload because of missed treatments. Hospitals cannot dialyze patients on an outpatient basis. The hospital reached out to a nearby dialysis center to negotiate chair times for these patients and averting a readmission. 21 7

8 Best Practices: Programs to Divert Readmissions to Appropriate Providers (cont.) Brevard Community Issue: Dilemma: Solution: Patients discharged to home often become overwhelmed with changes in treatments and medications and tend to return to the ED for assistance. The patients are often readmitted because of adverse drug events and/or changes in their condition due to failure to follow treatment plans. Patients who had been transported by emergency medical services (EMS) to the hospital for their initial admission had follow-up visits from EMS within 8 24 hours of their discharge. Treatment and medications were reviewed and the patients living conditions were assessed for community services. Providing this support reduced hospital readmission. 22 Top 10 Evidence-Based Interventions 1. Enhanced admission assessment Begin discharge planning on admission 2. Formal assessment of risk of readmission Align interventions to patient s needs 3. Accurate medication reconciliation at: Admission Any change of level of care Discharge 4. Patient education Assess health literacy 23 Source: Top 10 Evidence-Based Interventions (cont.) 5. Identify primary caregiver 6. Use teach-back to validate understanding 7. Send discharge summary within hours 8. Collaborate with post-acute care and community 9. Schedule follow-up appointments before discharge 10.Conduct post-discharge follow-up calls within 48 hours of discharge 24 Source: 8
