1 Clostridium difficile Infection (CDI) Intervention Kick-Off Webinar Wednesday, January 17, 2018 National Nursing Home Quality Care Collaborative (NNHQCC) Health Services Advisory Group (HSAG)

2 Introduction and Overview James H. Barnhart III, BSH, LNHA

3 Today s Objectives Summarize the 10-month baseline reporting period and identify steps that need to be completed to maintain the National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) user and facility access in Analyze state and national CDI rates and present the 2018 intervention strategy to maintain or reduce CDI rates. Demonstrate how to develop a CDI-focused performance improvement project (PIP) and explain how to access facility-level CDI rates from NHSN. 3

4 What is a QIN-QIO? Funded by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) QIN-QIO in each state Dedicated to improving health quality at the community level Ensures people with Medicare get the care they deserve, and improves care for everyone Department of Health & Human Services Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services 4

5 HSAG s QIN-QIO Responsibility Nearly 25 percent of the nation s Medicare beneficiaries 5 5 HSAG is the Medicare Quality Innovation Network-Quality Improvement Organization (QIN-QIO) for Arizona, California, Florida, Ohio, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

8 What is the National Nursing Home Quality Care Collaborative (NNHQCC)? An all-teach, all-learn CMS quality improvement initiative designed to ensure residents receive the highest quality of care Aligned with other nursing home (NH) quality initiatives, led by QIN-QIOs Support recruited member NHs: In using QAPI as a framework to achieve system-wide improvement In reducing inappropriate use of antipsychotic medications managing CDI with the CDI Initiative Use Quality Measure Composite Score to monitor progress 8

9 HSAG s CDI Initiative

10 CDI Initiative in AZ, CA, FL, and OH 483 Nursing Homes NHSN enrollment 10-month data collection for baseline Quality improvement As of April 10, 2017, 2,341 NHs are enrolled in the CDI NHSN database Approximately 15% of the nation s NHs 10

11 CDI Initiative Baseline March 2017 through December 2017 Consecutive Don t miss a month! Analysis 11

12 2018 NHSN Action Items: CDI Cohort Members Tara Rhone, MPH, BS

13 2018 NHSN Action Items New long-term care facility (LTCF) annual survey Updated NHSN Agreement to Participate and Consent Adding Additional NHSN Users 13

14 New LTCF Annual Survey New LTCF NHSN Annual Survey The data is based on calendar year 2017 (Jan. 1, 2017 Dec. 31, 2017) This mandatory survey must be completed in NHSN to provide updated information on LTCF characteristics and practices All required questions must be answered before the NHSN application will save the survey The paper version of the survey is available at: The table of instructions to complete the survey is available at: Due Date: January 31,

15 Updated NHSN Agreement to Participate and Consent The January 23, 2018 release of the NHSN application will introduce an updated electronic NHSN Agreement to Participate and Consent for current NHSN facility users who enrolled prior to 12/02/2017. Once the consent form is available, an alert will appear on all NHSN component home pages Primary contacts and NHSN facility administrator (NHSN FA) will receive an notification Primary LTCF contacts or NHSN FA must agree to this updated consent form online as soon as possible, or risk losing access to NHSN Submission will be done electronically through the NHSN application rather than a paper copy that is mailed, scanned, or faxed manually The Consent Form Then and Now NHSN 8.8 Release Due Date: February 15,

16 Adding Additional NHSN Users HSAG and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) highly recommend that each NH have more than one user with a SAMS grid card To protect the NH from missing data submissions in the event of staff member turnover, vacations, illnesses, etc. Since SAMS cards are personal and are not to be shared throughout a facility To help distribute the NHSN surveillance workload among multiple users Since infection control and prevention is a team effort having multiple NHSN users spreads knowledge/awareness among team members Steps to add a User to NHSN available at: 16
