1 NYSPFP- Readmission Collaborative Domain II - Kick-off Webinar Improving Care Transitions Between Hospitals and SNFs February 28, 2017 A partnership of the Healthcare Association of New York State and the Greater New York Hospital Association

2 Agenda Topic Welcome/ Overview NYSPFP Readmission Collaborative Goals, Measurement Speaker Karline Roberts, NYSPFP Karline Roberts, NYSPFP IPRO Readmission Project Next Steps Preparing for In- person Meeting Capabilities Assessment Sara Butterfield, RN, BSN, IPRO Donna DeGarmo, RN, MSN, Bassett Healthcare Network Laurie Neander, RN, MS, Bassett Healthcare Network Diane Judson, RN, BSHA, Wingate Healthcare Karline Roberts, NYSPFP Calendar of Events Karline Roberts, NYSPFP Question and Answer Forum All participants February 28, 2017

3 NYSPFP Readmissions Initiative Overview o Domain I: Patient- and caregiver-centric discharge processes o Domain II: Improving care transitions between the acute care setting and skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) o Objectives: To assist New York State hospitals in reducing their readmission rates by improving the transitions of care between acute care providers and SNFs o Goal: CMS goal of reducing readmissions by 12% from a 2014 baseline February 28, 2017

4 Approach o Identify hospital and SNF partners with high readmission rates among shared patients o Identify readmission champions and interdisciplinary team members in hospitals and SNFs o Establish recurrent face-to-face collaborative meetings February 28, 2017

5 Why the Collaborative Approach? o Systematic approach to quality improvement whereby health care organizations come together to: o Identify, test, and measure evidence-based practice innovations o Share experience to accelerate learning and disseminate innovations o Create a framework for sustaining improvement February 28, 2017

6 NYSPFP Support NYSPFP support will include: o Facilitation of regional collaborative meetings o Hands-on quality improvement support o Assessment tools to identify gaps in current practice o Action planning assistance to drive improvement o Ongoing activities to inform, educate, train, and share February 28, 2017

7 Benefits of Participating o Support in addressing challenging areas in the transitions of care process o Resolve outstanding inter-facility issues o Avoid Medicare Reimbursement Reductions: o Value Based Purchasing o Hospital Readmission Reduction (HRR) Program February 28, 2017

8 Hospital Readmissions Reduction (HRR) Program o Part of Affordable Care Act o Program links what hospitals are paid to the quality of the care they provide - not just quantity of the services provides o The HRR Program provides financial incentives to hospitals to reduce costly and unnecessary hospital readmissions February 28, 2017

9 The Skilled Nursing Facility Value-Based Purchasing Program (SNFVBP) o What is it? o The program rewards skilled nursing facilities with incentive payments for the quality of care they give to people with Medicare. o When does it start? o Fiscal year 2019 for 2017 calendar year data o Why is it important? o It promotes better clinical outcomes o Data to be publically reported starting Oct on Nursing Home Compare o How will the program work? o Participating facilities will be paid for their services based on the quality of care, not just quantity of the services they provide in a given performance period. o Measure o 30-day all cause unexpected potentially preventable readmission rate February 28, 2017

10 NYSPFP Readmissions Measurement Strategy o Overall Outcome Measure o 30 day potentially preventable readmission rate (PPR) o All Condition, All Cause Readmissions Rate o Medicare, All Cause Readmission Rate o Overall Process Measure o HCAHPS: Care Transitions and Discharge Information scores o Aligns with patient/family engagement efforts o No manual data entry o Provides meaningful and actionable data o Domain II Measures o Medicare SNF readmission rate will be analyzed as data becomes available o Process and outcome measures within each collaborative will be determined by the collaborative teams February 28, 2017

12 Transitional Care Partnerships: Aligning Forces for Improved Communication & Care Coordination Across the Healthcare Continuum IPRO Coordination of Care Initiative Sara Butterfield RN, BSN, CPHQ, CCM Senior Director, Healthcare Quality Improvement February 28, 2017 A partnership of the Healthcare Association of New York State and the Greater New York Hospital Association in collaboration with IPRO

13 NYS MFFS 30-Day Readmissions by Discharge Disposition CY 2015 All NYS Hospital Aggregate Source: CMS FFS Medicare Claims Data (In hospital deaths and transfers to another acute facility were not counted) 1

14 Approach o Regional cross-setting community coalitions Hospitals, Home Health, Nursing Homes, Assisted Living Facilities, Physician Practices, Hospice, RHIO, Office for Aging, County-based services, community service providers, EMS, Community Pharmacies, Key Stakeholders o Community Based Root Cause Analysis o Adoption of Evidence Based Interventions o Assistance in monitoring & measuring impact o Building collaborative partnerships to support sustainability 2

15 Approach o Identify common goals & shared missions across settings o Identify cultural & procedural differences across settings o Each partner has a unique perspective to identify & address issues associated with failed transitions o Deal with one or two problems at a time, beginning with the easier issues o Move out of the silo(s) 3

16 Building Capacity o Cross-Setting Collaboration is key to success! o All healthcare settings, community service providers and community partners who have a stake in improving care transitions need to be involved in Coalition efforts to impact readmission drivers: Hospitals Home health SNF s Hospice High Volume Physician Offices EMS Community Based Organizations Federal Qualified Health Centers Area Aging and Human Service Providers Medical Homes Assisted Living 4

25 Challenges and, Opportunity Health and IT system silos effective use of information technologies is key Understanding data including what matters to patients (loss of work, loss of independence, etc.) Enabler to reengineer care processes. To understand effective coordination of longitudinal care and services across all care settings and across all patient conditions Level of risk and most appropriate response cost and care efficient for the full cycle of care Supported by a risk stratification assessment, home health care providers design collaborative transitions programs to coordinate with primary care/ health home, navigation, remote monitoring technology, care managers. And, in lieu of ED or ACH, referral of high risk individuals to a traditional Medicare Certified home health program A work in progress knowledge continues to evolve Transition Partnerships 2/27/2017
