3 Introduction to Project Team California HealthCare Foundation The California HealthCare Foundation works as a catalyst to fulfill the promise of better health care for all Californians. We support ideas and innovations that improve quality, increase efficiency, and lower the costs of care. Kate O Malley, Senior Program Officer Katie Rodriguez, Program Officer Coalition for Compassionate Care of California The Coalition for Compassionate Care of California (CCCC) promotes high quality, compassionate care for all Californians who are seriously ill or approaching the end of life.

Judy Thomas, Executive Director BluePath Health BluePath Health is a full service, California based health care consulting firm.

4 Project Background The California HealthCare Foundation (CHCF) began its investment in POLST program development in 2007 that has state and national impact: Coalition for Compassionate Care of California (CCCC) formed in 2007 as an independent non profit organization that works to facilitate uniform adoption of POLST through a network of 24 local coalitions Statewide POLST Taskforce formed in 2008 California has representation and participates in the National POLST Taskforce efforts In 2013, the CCCC POLST Train the Trainer program reached over 900 participants trained in having the POLST goals of care conversation and how to teach others. A 2012 survey of 286 responding hospitals found that 84% of staff have been educated on POLST. 82% of Skilled Nursing Facility staff has received POLST education and 54% of nursing home residents have a POLST. Phase 1 activities follow the recommendations identified in the Statewide POLST registry feasibility study conducted and completed by BluePath Health in May Phase 1 major activities include: Conducting a request for information (RFI) process to identify the best fit technology and operations solution and confirm budget assumptions, Working with candidate pilot communities to identify the community that can best fulfill the objectives of the pilot and will commit to sustain the program post pilot phase, and Engaging with state leadership to ensure any pilot development process fits within overall state efforts and has input/guidance from state leadership staff. Phase 1 will inform next steps including initiation of a pilot phase BluePath Health Inc.; Client Proprietary and Business Confidential 4

5 POLST is patient centered. A POLST registry enables patient wishes to be followed 70% of Californians say they would prefer to die at home. However, in 2009, 42% of deaths in California occurred in a hospital, 32% at home, and 1 18% in a nursing home. POLST improves provider understanding of patient wishes and will change the course of treatment to 2,3,4 better match those wishes. Advance care planning is aligned with the triple aim: better quality, better care, and improved per 5 capita costs. POLST reduces hospitalizations and improves care 6 transitions in California. 1.
