Transitions Program Outcomes Transitions Initiatives Surgical Transitions team expands to Surgical Trauma Services April, See article p Transitions Coordination Committee serves as a major collaborative venue for coordinating transitional care initiatives. The committee consists of representatives from Inpatient ED, Outpatient Family Medicine, Unity Health, Pharmacy, Patient Resources, Complex Case Management, RN Care Coordination, Learning Center and Population Health. Transitioning to the Community elcome to the spring 2016 Bridges Newsletter. This newsletter is meant to keep you informed of the activities surrounding Transitions of Care at UW Health, and as always, we have a lot going on! A transition occurs each time there is a handoff of the patient and his/her health care information. This handoff could be to another unit, another provider, or another level of care. In order for the transition to be successful we need engaged providers, staff, patients and families along with meticulous documentation and transference of clinical information. Most importantly we need to assure that the patient and his/her caregiver truly understand what is required of them to succeed during and after the transition. This is most notably done via the teach back method, which is in essence, a verbal return demonstration by the patient/ caregiver. A safe transition also necessitates assuring that our patients are appropriately supported in place once they are back in the community. UW Health can t do this alone so we are actively collaborating with our community partners to ensure that we enlist their services and areas of expertise. Towards these efforts, UW Hospital currently hosts three different community based Transitions Coalitions (1) Skilled Nursing Facility (2) Assisted Living Facility and (3) Dane County. In this newsletter we begin our feature called the Community Partner Corner in which one of our community partners will share their thoughts on the coalition and safe transitions. Darian Dalsen has been an active member of our Dane County Transitions Coalition and has commented multiple times that his participation in the Coalition has resulted in multiple quality improvement initiatives at his agency. Please be sure to read his column. As always, feel free to call or me if you have any questions, comments or thoughts regarding our transitional care efforts here at UW Health. Happy Reading, Maria Maria Brenny-Fitzpatrick DNP, RN, FNP-C, GNP-BC Director Transitional Care University of Wisconsin Hospital They may FORGET your name, but they will NEVER FORGET how you made them feel. ~ Maya Angelou

We can provide 1-24 hours a day assisting with light housekeeping, activities of daily living and social activities. We can work with individuals who have Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and have complicated health conditions. I have been a member of the Dane County Community Coalition for two years. I joined the coalition to assist the hospitals reduce re-admissions. I wanted to make a difference by being part of a group that was going to have a direct impact on healthcare in our community. I initially thought the work I was going to do was going to help the hospitals, however what I learned was that the information I obtained from the coalition directly impacted our client s health and directly reduced the need to go to the hospital. We improved our training to caregivers and clients on CHF, improved communication with physicians, physical therapy, and hospice related to changes in medical conditions and increased education on medication management. We have also started attending medical appointments and follow up assessments completed by our RN and reported to all medical providers. I like being part of the coalition because I have learned about additional resources to help clients and families. One of the biggest benefits has been developing relationships with companies to help improve health care outcomes of people we are serving in the community. How to find Transitional Care Program Notes in HealthLink
3 Volume 6 Page 3 NEW - Surgical Transitional Care Program Kris Leahy-Gross MSN, RN Transitions of care occur each time the patient moves from one health care provider or health setting to another. These care transitions are the highest risk phases of care for patients and may result in preventable readmissions. With the proven success of the UWHC Medical Transitional Care program (utilizing the Coordinated-Transitional Care (C-TraC) model), we implemented the Surgical Transitional Care Program in October The C-TraC model is an evidencebased transitional care program which uses telephone-based outreach to improve care transitions of patients and reduce 30-day rehospitalizations. Patients enrolled in the Surgical Transitional Care (STC) program must have a working telephone and are discharging home. Clinical criteria include any adult undergoing the following: pancreatectomy, gastrectomy, emergent small bowel resection, bowel perforation, new ostomy, drain upon discharge, pre-discharge infection or any other major complication. Additional characteristics used to prioritize the caseload include: lives alone, caregiver not identified, recommended level of support declined (e.g. home health), discharged to home with home health, post-operative delirium or cognitive dysfunction, dementia and/or age 65 years old. The STC program consists of 2 registered nurses and a social worker who identify patients at risk for rehospitalization. Patients enrolled in the STC program receive follow-up phone calls for 3-6 weeks post-discharge utilizing the Coordinated -Transitional Care model. Emphasis is placed upon patient-led medication reconciliation, patient education with identification of 3 red flags, post-discharge follow-up with surgeon and/or PCP, and addressing a cadre of other patient issues. The program staff works closely with providers, ambulatory and inpatient nurses, coordinated care staff and other clinical supports to determine discharge goals and assure coordination of care. After discharge, the team works with the patient and family, caregivers, medical team (MD, NP, PA), home health and other providers as needed to coordinate care. Outcomes From 10/12/15 through 2/29/16, the STC program enrolled 158 patients. Ninety-six percent (n=151) of the patients engaged in the C-TraC protocol. Of the patients engaged in the transitional care protocol, 12.6% (n=19) readmitted within 30 days of index admission. A benchmark is being established by surgical department researchers. Based upon early program data (10/12/15 through 1/10/16) patients were in the program for an average of 21.3 days with an average age of 57 years old. During the post-discharge telephone medication reconciliation, 30% of patients had at least one medication discrepancy. Emily Osterhaus BSN, RN, CMSRN Nurse Clinician Surgery Laura Sell MS, BSN, RN Nurse Clinician Surgery Kudos from Our Transitional Care Patients Positively impressed with the whole program.

The Medical and Surgical Transitional Care Programs are designed to target vulnerable patients who are at a high-risk for negative post-hospital outcomes. Core program enrollment criteria include patients discharged to home or assisted living facility and have a functional telephone. Additionally, program enrollment is prioritized based upon the following patient conditions: lives alone, inadequate supports, caregiver not identified, hospitalized in preceding 12 months, documentation of dementia, delirium or other cognitive dysfunction, recommended support declined (e.g. home health) or clinical judgment. Consults can be entered via Health Link. Medical Transitional Care Program Core Enrollment Criteria: 60+ year old patients on the general medicine, hospitalist, cardiology and family medicine services ACE consult patient referred by ACE team Surgical Transitional Care Program Core Enrollment Criteria: Post-operative patients on the General Surgery (blue or orange service) or Emergency General Surgery (red service) with the following: Pancreatectomy Gastrectomy Emergent small bowel resection Bowel perforation New ostomy patient How to place a consult Drain upon discharge Pre-discharge infection or any other major complication Program enrollment exclusions: Excludes patients with primary diagnosis of: ETOH/Substance withdrawal/overdose Psychiatric Scheduled cardiac procedure admit Excludes patients: Care WI Central Wisconsin Center UW Health's Complex Case Management Patient with case/care manager such as Transplant Coordinator, CHF Coordinator, WDI SW/CM Active chemotherapy Hospice/palliative care Prisoners Congratulations!

5 Volume 6 Page 5 University Hospital s Very Own Hearing Aid Fairy One third of people over 65 years and one half of elderly people aged 70 and over are seriously affected by severe hearing limitations caused by demographic and environmental factors. (Ligenau et al) For the increasing number of hearing impaired patients at the hospital it is very important to assure an undisturbed communication and interaction with the hospital staff and it is essential to avoid misunderstandings and shortcomings caused by hearing limitations. (Ligenau et al) Did you know one of the reasons patients don t seem like they understand you or the instructions they are being given is because their hearing aid battery is dead? But thanks to our very own hearing aid battery fairy Peggy Troller, Transitional Care RN, patients will be able to hear more clearly! Being a wearer of hearing aids herself Peggy realized the growing need of pts in the hospital whose batteries were weak or dead so she reached out to Friends of UWHC for a grant to purchase batteries to provide to these pts. If you have a patient in the hospital that is struggling to hear you check their hearing aid battery and if they need it replaced contact Peggy at or pager Lilgenau, Anneliese, Mag., and Mag. Janna Mayer, MD. "The Perspectives and Experiences of Hearing Impaired." Faculty of Social Sciences Department of Nursing Science (n.d.): n. pag.

6 Page 6 Bridges~UW Health Transitions of Care How FITbit are You? Peggy Troller, MSMFT, BSN, RN-BC The Transitional Care staff places a high priority on working together as a close-knit team. One way we build our team cohesiveness is by regularly adding a little fun to our work. Recently, TC team members have started occasional Fitbit Workweek Challenges. Many of the team members use a Fitbit to track their daily steps and we invited each other to join in friendly competition from 12:01 AM Monday to midnight Friday. The competition was fierce, with the top spot changing hands several times throughout the week. The winner of the first challenge was Kris Leahy-Gross with over 68,000 steps, for which she won a lovely blue ribbon and bragging rights - until the next competition. Get moving and challenge your co-workers!
