1 A Chronic Care Success Story: Remote Patient Monitoring in Rural Mississippi February 19, 2017

2 UMMC Telehealth by the numbers 500,000+ patients helped since UMMC available specialists 35+ specialty services and growing 200+ Locations, with new locations weekly 3

3 What is Telehealth? Telehealth lets doctors examine and treat patients remotely, in real time, using online streaming video technology and interactive tools. PA TIENT & LOCA L CLINICIA N USING UM M C S ONLINE TELEHEA LTH TOOLS UM M C SPECIA LISTS 4

4 Why is Telehealth Important? Currently, 53 of Mississippi s 82 counties are more than a 40- minute drive from specialty care. UMMC CENTER FOR TELEHEALTH Provides specialty care that is convenient for patients Offers vital support for primary care physicians Helps decrease the cost of care and improve patient outcomes Supports population health in underserved areas Provides interactive distance education for providers to improve quality of care

5 Healthcare Disparities & Access 60% of Mississippians live in Rural Areas 37% live in Medically Underserved Areas Mississippi s ED visits per capita are among the highest in the U.S. 68% of Mississippi s physicians are located in urban/metro areas 64% of Mississippians drive at least 40 minutes for specialty care

6 Sustainable Change via RPM: Engaging the PCP s & Patients Knowledge + Engagement + Support Knowledge Phase 1 Engagement Phase 2 Behavior Change Phase 3 Personal Empowerment Phase 4 7

7 Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) Chronic disease management in the patient s home including: Daily Health Sessions Personalized Interventions Targeted Education Health Coach Behavior Modification Patient Empowerment

8 Empowering Patient with Technology Education is not a building it is learning and I ve learned so much! This program works. I have learned more in this program than I did when I was in a hospital. I never thought to look into my shoes I have learned more in the few months of being in this program than I have in 17 years of having diabetes

9 MS Diabetes Telehealth Network HbA1c 1.7% Medication Compliance 96% Health Session Compliance 83% Retinopathy Found 9 cases Weight Loss 71 pounds Miles Saved 9, No Hospitalizations or ER visits for DM Preliminary results on first 100 patients

18 Preventative We can start to impact modifiable risk factors which contribute to chronic disease Tobacco use Alcohol consumption Physical activity Diet High blood pressure High cholesterol weight It has estimate that if the major risk factors for chronic diseases were eliminated, at least 80% of all heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and 40% of all cancer cases would be prevented. 1 How much could this save you? 1 Report on the Burden of Chronic Diseases in MS, 2014 (2014).

23 AMA Digital Health Study Physicians motivations and requirements for adopting digital clinical tools Heavier users tend to be PCPs and physicians in large and complex practices Physicians want digital healthcare tools to do what they do better Physicians require digital tools to fit within their existing systems and practices Physicians want to be part of the decision making but they look to others as well

24 Remote Monitoring for Efficiency Smart versions of common clinical devices such as thermometers, blood pressure cuffs, and scales that automatically record readings in the patient record so you do not have to type it This tool has not yet cross the chasm of adoption but there is some enthusiasm, driven by PCPs. It would need to be proven to improve efficiency and diagnostic ability while being well integrated into current data systems

25 RPM Drivers among Physicians where Tool is Relevant, but Not Yet Used Most Attractive Elements Above average importance & ranking Improves work efficiency, Improves diagnostic ability, Increases patient safety, Increases patient convenience, Increases patient adherence & Improves patient-doc relationship Key Functional Requirements Above average importance & ranking 1. Well integrated with EHR 2. Data security assured by EHR vendor 3. As good as traditional care 4. Requires no special training

26 Remote Monitoring & Management for Improved Care Apps and devices for use by chronic disease patients for daily measurement of vital signs such as weight, blood pressure, blood glucose, etc. Readings are visible to patients and transmitted to the physician's office. Alerts are generated as appropriate for missing or out of range readings. This tool has not yet cross the chasm of adoption but there is some enthusiasm, driven by PCPs. Improved safety and adherence would motivate use, as long as it was easy to adopt and well integrated with current systems base

27 Remote Monitoring & Management for Improved Care Point of Entry Actively target services to chronic patients. Facilitate communicationbetween sites of care with shared care pathways and protocols. Leverage PCP and specialist relationships to improve transitions and crossdisciplinary RPM care. Measure of Success Reduce potentially avoidable admissions by 35% or more. Cut cost per by 10% or more over the next year. Decrease the 30-Day Readmission Index, targeting 0.85 or a reduction of >50%.

28 Enthusiasm & Critical Drivers D. MELESSA (LESSA) PHILLIPS, M.D., M.P.H. Dr. Phillips is currently Medical Director for the United Healthcare Community Plan of Mississippi, one of the coordinated care organizations contracted to administer the Mississippi Division of Medicaid s MSCAN program. She is also the founder and president of Global Family Medicine, PLLC, an international primary care consulting firm. Dr. Phillips is Professor of Nursing and Professor Emeritus of Family Medicine at the University of Mississippi Medical Center (UMMC) in Jackson, Mississippi, and Adjunct Professor of Social Studies at Tulane University of New Orleans, Louisiana (Ridgeland, Mississippi campus). Dr. Elizabeth Stahl Received her undergraduate degree from Berry College, and her medical degree from the University of Alabama School of Medicine in Birmingham, AL. She completed both Internal Medicine residency training and her Endocrinology fellowship in Birmingham. She was in private practice for 19 years, with a special interest in the treatment of DM 1, polycystic ovary syndrome, and obesity, and transitioned to her current role as a medical director with Cigna-HealthSpring in December of She is very involved in population health as it relates to the needs of those with diabetes and its comorbid conditions. She believes strongly that most people with complex medical conditions want to take better care of themselves, but at times lack the tools and understanding to do so it is our job, as health care professionals, to empower these individuals through education, engagement and compassion and in doing so, we will hopefully improve outcomes and quality of life.
