5 MEETING OBJECTIVES Provide context for acuity system Review draft acuity tool Service areas Acuity levels Review how the tool is used Data sources for completing the tool Assignment of acuity scores Review evaluation components Client chart review Acuity summary forms Post pilot survey Pilot Specifics Six months 20 participants per agency Mix of high and low acuity 5

6 BENEFITS OF ACUITY BASED SYSTEM Supports efficient and targeted use of resources at the funder and agency levels Supports provision of services tailored to individual need Allows for placement of clients in appropriate service intensity level Offers multiple levels of engagement as clients level of need shifts 6

7 DEFINING SUCCESS AND ACHIEVEMENTS Using acuity to highlight fluid nature of a client s experiences with HIV/AIDS Acknowledging challenges with orienting and adapting to the service system (especially for the newly diagnosed) Complexity of care and challenges experienced by clients will change over time Creating a responsive service system Primary focus on attaining HIV medical self-management Creating ancillary/adjunct services that evolve over time to meet the needs of clients outside of the medical settings 7

8 COMPONENTS OF ACUITY SYSTEM MCM Assessment and Reassessment Acuity Tool (in review process) Individual Service Plan 8

9 PURPOSE OF ACUITY TOOL Determines client s level of need Objective when possible Consistent Helps triage clients to the appropriate level of medical case management Documents provider s knowledge of and experience with the client Provides funders with information about client need at the agency level, across the EMA, and throughout the Commonwealth 9

10 APPLYING ACUITY TO MCM SERVICES Higher acuity level/score More need for case management Requires more complex service coordination More case management & service coordination Documentation of met needs and services delivered Documentation of unmet/ongoing needs and how MCM will connect client to other services Evaluation and assessment of acuity and needs over time Updating service care plans and reassessments Determine how client can be moved along the continuum of HIV services 10

18 USING THE TOOL Based on information gathered from the previously listed sources check the boxes for all applicable criteria in each area of functioning and enter the number that corresponds to the level of need in the left column Area of Functioning Intensive Need (3) Moderate Need (2) Basic Need (1) Self Management (0) Current Health Status Acuity level: Has detectable VL and CD4 below 200 and refuses ARVs Has current OI and is not being treated or refuses treatment Has been hospitalized in last 30 days Newly diagnosed within last six months and concurrently diagnosed with AIDS Has detectable VL and low CD4 below 350 and refuses ARVs Has history of OI in last six months which are treated and client using prophylaxis (if indicated) Has been hospitalized in last six months Newly diagnosed within last six months; high CD4 (over 350) Has detectable VL but is on ARVs Has no history of OIs in last six months or is on treatment for an OI Has had no hospitalizations in last six months Is virally suppressed Has no history of OIs in last 12 months Has no history of hospitalizations in last 12 months 18

19 USING THE TOOL Clients who meet criteria in two or more levels of need for any area of functioning are automatically assigned the number corresponding to the highest level of need. Area of Functioning Intensive Need (3) Moderate Need (2) Basic Need (1) Self Management (0) Current Health Status Acuity level: 3 Has detectable VL and CD4 below 200 and refuses ARVs Has current OI and is not being treated or refuses treatment Has been hospitalized in last 30 days Newly diagnosed within last six months and concurrently diagnosed with AIDS Has detectable VL and low CD4 below 350 and refuses ARVs Has history of OI in last six months which are treated and client using prophylaxis (if indicated) Has been hospitalized in last six months Newly diagnosed within last six months; high CD4 (over 350) Has detectable VL but is on ARVs Has no history of OIs in last six months or is on treatment for an OI Has had no hospitalizations in last six months Is virally suppressed Has no history of OIs in last 12 months Has no history of hospitalizations in last 12 months 19

21 ASSIGNING THE MEDICAL CASE MANAGEMENT LEVEL Total acuity score is determined by adding up the numbers from each area of functioning Total Score MCM Level Required level of interaction Intensive MCM Minimum monthly face to face acuity assessment Minimum service reassessment and ISP every 3 months Minimum weekly contact Moderate MCM Minimum face to face acuity assessment every 3 months Minimum service reassessment and ISP every 3 months Minimum monthly contact 1-13 Basic MCM Minimum acuity assessment twice per year Minimum service reassessment and ISP every 6 months Minimum contact every 6 months 0 Self Management No required level of interaction 21

22 THE PILOT Pilot will run from November 1, 2014 to April 30, 2015 Agency participation is not mandatory, however the pilot process is the mechanism to give feedback and input to the funders At the end of the pilot BPHC and OHA will implement an acuity index which agencies will be expected to use You re the experts! We want a tool that works for you 22

23 PILOT PARTICIPANTS Agencies must enroll a minimum of 20 clients No more than ten clients who appear to be high need At least five clients who appear to be low need If possible agencies should enroll between one and five clients who are either newly diagnosed or new to the agency Care team members should discuss the pilot and identify appropriate participants as soon as possible 23

24 PILOT PARTICIPANTS Agencies with a client population less than 50 will negotiate an appropriate number of pilot participants with their program coordinator/contract manager Agencies that enroll more than 20 must enroll 20 meeting the previously listed criteria, and may use any criteria they choose for selecting the additional clients Agencies will explain selection process in a post-pilot survey 24

25 TIMELINE FOR USING THE TOOL Pilot participants who are newly diagnosed or new to the clinic should have their acuity assessed as soon as possible to determine the MCM level Pilot participants who are existing agency clients should have an initial acuity assessment the next time they meet with MCM staff (by November 20, 2014 at the latest) Acuity tool should be administered at least twice during the course of the six month pilot 25

26 TABLE TALK 26

27 LUNCH! 27

28 EVALUATION COMPONENTS For each pilot client, agencies must complete the Acuity Summary Sheet to be maintained in a paper file During the six months from November 2014 to May 2015 BPHC and OHA staff will add a pilot check -in agenda item to the monthly call From April June 2015 BPHC and OHA staff (or their designees) will review all pilot participant charts using the Acuity Tool Client File Review form At the end of the pilot a survey will be sent to all participating agencies 28

29 FUNDER CHART REVIEW During the six month pilot all participants must have paper charts available for funder review with all appropriate documents maintained (including ISP and assessment tools) Paper charts do not need to include non-service specific documents (e.g. grievance form, client responsibilities, etc) Your contract manager or program coordinator will give you specifics The chart review will include a review and comparison of the acuity tool, the ISP, the reassessment, and case notes 29

30 ACUIT Y SUMMARY SHEET At-a-glance document to be included in every pilot participant s file Notes section Can be used for 2 different acuity assessments Can be handwritten Template & completed sample is included in your packet 30

31 GIVING INPUT AND FEEDBACK: ACCURACY OF THE TOOL In addition to the acuity level for each area of functioning, each Acuity Summary sheet has the following questions: What criteria did not accurately reflect your understanding of the client s need? How would you change or edit existing criteria or what additional criteria would you add to better reflect the client s need? 31

32 GIVING INPUT AND FEEDBACK: IMPLEMENTATION The post-pilot survey will include questions about the ease of use of the tool, suggestions for change, areas for improvement, etc. Agencies are encouraged to contact their program coordinator or contract manager with any questions or concerns that come up during the six months At the end of the six months agencies will be asked to submit copies of each pilot participant s acuity tool and acuity summary sheets 32
