1 Medication Challenges in Care Transitions: Issues Faced by Patients, Providers & Community Professionals Joshua Akers, PharmD Geoffrey Meer, PharmD Shanna O Connor, PharmD, BCPS

2 Introductions GROUP WORK

3 Objectives Identify high-risk medications and errors associated with care transitions Review strategies for improvement in medication reconciliation and management Discuss metrics to be used to evaluate program success

4 Work with 3-4 others to review the discharge instructions 4 minutes DISCHARGE CASE - KE

5 2 minutes WHAT CONCERNS DID YOU NOTE?

6 A few problems we noticed Inconsistent follow-up dates Inconsistent medlists New unfamiliar medication packaging Medication changes unclear

7 Scope of the problem: Medications Overall drug-related morbidity/mortality costs >$170 billion (ER, hospital/readmissions, SNF use, etc.) 700,000 ED for Adverse Drug Events annually 48% of elderly people in the community have medication related problems (MRPs) Ernst, FR, Grizzle AJ. Drug-related morbidity and mortality J AM Pharm Assoc Mar-Apr(2):192-9

8 Emergency hospitalizations for adverse drug events in older Americans Budnitz DS, et. al. NEJM 2011:365:

9 CMS targeted conditions Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) Heart Failure (HF) Pneumonia (PNA) Coming soon in 2015 Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Elective total knee arthroplasty (TKA) Elective total hip arthroplasty (THA) CMS. Readmissions Reduction Program. Payment/AcuteInpatientPPS/Readmissions-Reduction-Program.html. Jan 2,2014

10 SOLUTION IS NOT AS SIMPLE AS JUST TARGETING SPECIFIC MEDICATIONS OR POPULATIONS

11 Scope of the problem 36% medication error rate on hospital admission (general population) Post-discharge, 72-81% of patients encountered MRPs 24% involved hospital error at discharge 60% due to lack of understanding of medication changes MATCH Program. Dec 21, 2013 Leading Age. Preventing Hospital Readmissions: It s All about the Medications. hyyp:// Dec 21,2013

12 Hospital discharge 20% of hospitalized Medicare patients are readmitted within 30 days $25 billion a year nationally 40% of Medicare patients discharged are admitted to a skilled nursing facility (SNF) or rehabilitation facility Jencks, S. et. al. NEJM : CMS. community-based Care Transitions Program. January 20, 2014 Health Affairs. The revolving Door of Rehospitalization from Skilled Nursin Facilities. Januray 20,2014

13 Use your worksheet! Individual work: 2 minutes Share with your group: 3 minutes MED RECONCILIATION: REFLECTION

14 Questions for medication reconciliation Are there any high-risk medications? Does the patient have more than one medlist? Are there any discrepancies? How is the patient getting the medications? How does the patient manage their medications? How does the patient actually take their medications? What has changed for this patient?

15 Methods to improve medication utilization in care transitions Johns Hopkins Hospital University of Kansas Hospital Duke University Hospital HomeMeds Partners in Care Foundation

16 Delivery of service Nurse-driven with pharmacist consult Pharmacist-driven Social work-driven with nurse/pharmacy consults Where is care being delivered? Telephonic In-clinic In-home

17 Identify high risk patients for advanced care services Specific Diagnoses: AMI, HF, PNA, COPD Age >65 Medication regimen Patient educational needs Number of changes in meds History of ER visits and readmissions Clinical judgment

18 BACK TO OUR PATIENT: KE

19 What actually happened Multiple changes Medication source (multiple pharmacies, unable to pick-up meds) Home medication stash Non-adherent

20 Value of pharmacist with in-home assessment Vanderbilt Study (pharmacist/nurse collaboration) 19% of patients with potential MRPs Medication use improved in 50% of patients vs. 38% with standard of care USC and AoA evaluation study 49% of patients had potential MRP After pharmacist review, 29% of all clients required physician intervention Medication use improved in 61% of clients Meredieth S, et al. Improving Medication Use in Newly admitted home health care Patients. J AM Geri Soc 2002 Sep;50(9): Alkema GE, et al. Prevelence of Potential Medication Problems in Dually-eligible Older Adults in Medicaid Waiver Services. Annals of Pharmacotherpay. Dec 2007, Vol 41 Alkema G, et al. The Role of Consultant Pharmacists in Reducing Medication Problems Among Older Adults Receiving Medicaid Waiver Services. The Consultant Pharmacist. Feb 2009;V24,2

21 Some examples of MRPs Specific drug interactions Drug-related Adverse reactions Medication-related fall risk assessment Potentially inappropriate medications Appropriate monitoring of medications Storage issues Therapeutic duplications and omissions Complex regimen

22 In-home medication red flags Medications located throughout the home Meds >3 months old Stock of >3 month supply Polypharmacy Dirty Bottles Multiple strengths of medications More than 1 bottle of same medication More then 1 kind of tablet in one bottle

23 Brainstorm! HOW CAN YOU IMPROVE AT YOUR FACILITY?

24 What can I do to implement/improve care transition services What are the goals for my service/facility? Do we currently have policies and procedures in place to reduce readmissions? Do we have preventable readmissions that are related to medication availability? Do we have preventable readmissions that are related to medication-selection process?

25 Measuring success of service Process Metrics Number of patients Time to first interaction and completion of service Number of interventions and changes made Patient satisfaction Staff satisfaction Outcome metrics Readmission rate Time to readmission ER visits HCAHPS scores Clinical metrics (BP, HgA1c, Lipid profile, etc.) Brown, C, Swarthout, M. Improving patient Outcomes by Improving Transitions of Care. APhA Annual Meeting, Orlando Fl, Mar 2014

26 Measuring success of service Medication-Specific Metrics Number of medications per patient Time for delivery of medications Patient understanding/confidence in their medications MRPs identified and resolved

27 Medications in care transitions Only one part of the problem Requires interprofessional collaboration for success
