4 Let s get up to speed, how far have we come in NHSN reporting? 4

5 Historical Overview 2011: CMS published final rule for the ESRD Quality Incentive Program measures including NHSN Dialysis Event Reporting Measure 2012: First performance year for NHSN Dialysis Event Reporting Measure 2014: First payment year for NHSN Dialysis Event Reporting Measure 2016: For this payment year the NHSN Dialysis Event Reporting Measure moved from a reporting to a clinical measure Simply, it matters what your data says now 5

6 Network 5 NHSN Work NHSN Monthly Data Checks In previous CMS contracts the Network was tasked with performing monthly NHSN data checks using CDC-created checklist and reporting results to CMS NHSN Bi-Annual Surveys The Network also reviewed facilities with the highest and lowest BSI rates bi-annually to review: Surveillance practices using CDC survey tool Report on BSI prevention practices 6

7 What did we learn from these activities? Figure: Low Reporting of Hospital BSIs Root Cause Analysis Diagram Source: 2015 NHSN Bi-Annual Surveys completed by ESRD Network 5 7

9 Required BSI Reporting Dialysis Event Protocol Figure: Reportable Positive Blood Cultures Collected in a Hospital Source: CDC NHSN Training recording available on our website 9

10 Problems and CMS Direction Bloodstream Infections (BSIs) are problematic accounting for a substantial number of hospitalizations for dialysis patients Active collection and use of surveillance data is critical for any BSI prevention program Dialysis providers are challenged by incomplete transfer of pertinent clinical data from their patients hospitalizations CMS Statement of Work The Network is tasked with planning and performing quality improvement activities to increase facility reporting BSIs among dialysis patients that are identified within one calendar day following hospital admission. 10

11 Project Overview Domain Support for Facility Data Submission to NHSN Scope Minimum of 20 facilities and 5 hospitals Objective Identify dialysis facilities without EMR access and affiliated hospitals Implement activities to improve communication of key information between hospitals and facilities using RCA and the PDSA cycle Goal Increase reporting of BSIs collected in a hospital by June

12 How was my clinic selected? 12

13 NHSN Data Review The Network reviewed: 1. Facility Location freestanding, freestanding but owned by a hospital, and hospital-based 2. Reported bloodstream Infections by state 3. Reported BSIs by location hospital collected or dialysis facility collected 4. Facilities with high long-term catheter rates 5. Clinic census (patient-months) 13

14 Facility Location Table: Description of Network 5 Dialysis Facilities reporting to NHSN State # of Facilities Freestanding Facility Location Freestanding but owned by a hospital District of Columbia (D.C) Maryland Virginia West Virginia Source: NHSN Dialysis Practices Survey v , 2016 Note: n = 336, Network 5 has more freestanding facilities located in Maryland and Virginia Hospital Based 14

15 Reported BSIs by Location Table: Reported BSIs stratified by Dialysis Facility Location, January-June 2016 Dialysis Facility Location # of Facilities # PBCs Collected in Hospital or ED # BSIs Reported % of PBCs Reported Freestanding % Freestanding but owned by a hospital % Hospital Based % Source: NHSN Frequency of Dialysis Events Table Note: n = 336, January-June 2016, while we have more freestanding facilities our hospital-associated clinics have higher reporting rates of PBCs collected in a hospital 15

16 Inclusion/Exclusion Criteria 1. Facility average census must be greater than 50 patients/month 2. Average catheter rate must be greater than the ESRD QIP threshold, > 10.00% 3. Facility must have reported 0 BSIs collected in a hospital for > 3 months within the baseline timeframe (Jan-Jun 2016) 16

17 Dialysis Facilities with criteria applied Table: Final Target Facilities State # of Facilities # PBCs Collected in Hospital or ED District of Columbia (D.C) 14 0 Maryland 73 0 Virginia 75 0 West Virginia 12 0 Source: Denominators Report & Frequency of Dialysis Events Report Note: n = 174, facilities who have not reported a BSI collected in Hospital or ED for > 3 months during Jan-Jun Identified Virginia and Maryland as areas for opportunity 17

18 Virginia or Maryland? Healthcare Quality Innovators (HQI) introduced Network 5 to CRISP Chesapeake Regional Information System for our Patients (CRISP) Regional Health Information Exchange (HIE) serving Maryland and the District of Columbia Answer: Maryland because we have an available intervention to improve the transfer of information from the hospital to the dialysis center electronically 18

19 What is an HIE? HIEs allow clinical information to move electronically among disparate health information systems 19

20 What is the goal of a HIE? Deliver the right health information to the right place at the right time to ensure care is: Safer Timelier Efficient Effective Equitable Patient-Centered 20

21 What has happened up until this point? 21
