6 Making a Difference: Advanced INTERACT use Mi Casa Nursing Center Misti Valentino, MHA Senior Executive Director Briefly describe your setting Mi Casa Nursing Center is a well established 180 bed skilled nursing facility in the Mesa community with an excellent reputation and above average customer satisfaction scores. We provide the Mesa community with quality post acute care, rehabilitation and long term care. Some of the services we offer are skilled nursing care, inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation therapy, in-house full time physician, IV therapy, tube feeding, peritoneal dialysis, TPN care, oxygen therapies, wound care management, bariatric services, and respite services. For rehabilitation we offer three therapy disciplines physical, occupational and speech therapies. 6

7 As a result of using INTERACT we were able to.... We began implementing INTERACT in our facility in February of During that month we had had over 17 transfers to the hospital with a 30-day re-admission rate for post-acute/chronic LTC of 20.7%, which also happened to be our highest rate for the year. As we continued to implement the INTERACT Program we continued to see a decline in our re-admission rate. Once the entire program had been implemented we had an alltime low of a 6.5% re-admission rate. Other notable gains include: Physician support of the INTERACT Initiative. Physicians also helping us to hold each other accountable, by asking our nurses for the SBAR when our nurses call them, etc. Also, Physicians encouraging our nurses to use their nursing judgment and providing education as needed. Residents happy about not having to go to the hospital to be treated, being able to stay in the facility and receive the same treatment Empowered nurses, practicing with a higher level of clinical expertise 7

8 Other notable gains include: A facility that is more prepared and capable to provide the care that our patients need Improved critical thinking skills of all of our staff, improved nurses assessment, associates are asking more questions and are gaining more knowledge Avoiding, those avoidable transfers!! Improved care, improved access to services, improved community relationships The INTERACT tool that helped us to accomplish our success was: The INTERACT tool that helped us to accomplish our success was: All of them!!! Stop and Watch has been successful in identifying issues with patients early on. SBAR and the Clinical Pathways have improved our evaluation and communication and have empowered the nurses to practice with a higher level of expertise. 8

9 The INTERACT tool that helped us to accomplish our success was: The Advance Care Planning Tools have allowed for us to be more prepared and capable of knowing what to look for when it comes to Advanced Care Planning. The QI Tools have allowed us to look closer at our processes and improve / provide education where needed. Also, we have found ways to utilize resources that we never even knew we had! The medication reconciliation has helped us identify trends in the hospital orders when a patient comes from the hospital to the facility and has allowed us to work closer with our hospital for a smoother transition upon admission. How we did it Education to the Management Team on INTERACT and to prepare them for the implementation over the next several months Determine which areas of the facility to implement first Determine Champions and a Team and set aside 1 hour every week for each of these members Educate Team of Champions on INTERACT- What, Why and How? Each team member had their own binder of Interact tools to refer to. 9

As a team we implemented in this order Advancing Excellence Hospitalization Rate Tracking Tool- Transfer Forms Stop & Watch How we did it continued Nursing Home Capabilities SBAR Form and Progress Note, Change in Condition File Cards, Care Paths Transfer Document Checklist QI Tools Advance Care Planning Tracking Form and Tools 10

11 How we did it continued Medication Reconciliation Worksheet After each tool was implemented we kept following back up with our champions to hear what was working and what was not working and then re-educating. It was a process. We also reviewed cases on a weekly basis. We continued monitoring our progress, tracking and trending and then rolled out each process to the entire facility, when it was successful in one area At the same time, we implemented community TCC Meetings where we did Case Reviews on re-admissions Barriers we had to overcome Problem Initially no buy-in from the team Forms too cumbersome for our nurses Team was telling the ED and DON that Interact was implemented but in reality it was not Solution Champions and weekly meetings. Sharing re-admission data Follow-up and Tracking/Trending Data 11

12 Sustaining the gains... To sustain our success with INTERACT we: have had to continue holding monthly meetings with our Champions. We review our progress and determine any action as needed. We continue to monitor compliance for usage of the INTERACT tools and follow-up and provide education as necessary. We also, continue to monitor our readmission data and share the data with our entire facility and it takes all of us to make a difference. It is an ongoing process, one that we continue to monitor and improve upon on a daily basis.
