3 Learning Objectives 1. Describe skin/wound assessment components of IRF-PAI reporting 2. Explain education process for nursing staff, therapist, physicians, and hospital administration for new skin assessment and management program 3. Discuss outcomes and results of new skin assessment and management program 5 CMS Pressure Ulcer Definition A pressure ulcer is a localized injury to the skin and/or underlying tissue usually over a bony prominence, as a result of pressure, or pressure in combination with a shear and/or friction. 6 3

4 Pressure Injuries: Moving from Reporting to Healing Background The high cost of treating hospital-acquired pressure injuries (HAPI) and the associated risks to the patient resulted in the addition of required reporting of new/worsened pressure ulcers to CMS IRF Quality Reporting Program, effective 10/1/2012 The cost for a hospital-acquired pressure injury patient averaged $129,248 (stage IV). 7 Pressure Injuries: Moving from Reporting to Healing Background In addition to the financial impact of caring for HAPIs, patients who develop pressure injuries while in a healthcare facility are at risk for a longer length of stay and hospital readmission. Higher mortality rates have also been reported. Approximately 50% of stage II and 95% of stage III and stage IV pressure injuries do not heal within 8 weeks. 8 4

5 Pressure Injuries: Moving from Reporting to Healing Background Patients with pressure ulcers may demonstrate significantly impaired physical and social function, self care, and mobility. CMS implemented public reporting for IRFs in December Facilities will want to ensure that reported data accurately represents facility performance. 9 October 2012 October 2014 October 2016 December 2016 Began mandatory report of Stage II IV Pressure Injuries (Data Collection Period) Added voluntary reporting of Stage I, Unstageable, & Suspected Deep Tissue Injuries Change in the IRF-PAI (6 pages to 18 pages) Public Reporting Began (Stage II IV) 10 5

10 Learning Objective #2 Explain education process for nursing staff, therapists, physicians, and hospital administration for new skin assessment and management program. 19 Pressure Injuries: Moving from Reporting to Healing Challenges PNRC is located within FSRMC, and has access to the hospital wound care team; however this team was not consistently available during the 3-day admission assessment period required for reporting by CMS. Differing definitions (CMS vs. NPUAP) contributed to inaccuracy of reporting (when using non-rehab staff). The pressure ulcer staging definitions used in the IRF-PAI Training Manual have been adapted from those recommended by the National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (NPUAP) 2007 Pressure Ulcer Stages. IRFs may adopt the NPUAP guidelines in their clinical practice and documentation. However, because CMS has adapted the NPUAP guidelines for IRF-PAI purposes, the definitions do not perfectly correlate with each stage as described by the NPUAP. Therefore, IRFs cannot use the NPUAP definitions to code the IRF-PAI. (IRF-PAI Training Manual) 20 10

11 Pressure Injuries: Moving from Reporting to Healing Challenges The lack of a clearly defined and consistent process for assessment and documentation of skin findings within the medical record resulted in failure to identify wounds that were present on admission. Variable knowledge and skill level was present regarding and staging of pressure ulcers among team members. o Physiatrists o Consulting physicians and APPs o Hospital wound care nurses o PNRC RNs/LPNs o CNAs o Therapy staff 21 Pressure Injuries: Moving from Reporting to Healing PNRC s Response to Quality Reporting for Pressure Injuries September, 2014: PNRC creates Wound Care RN position (no additional FTE) CMS adapted NPUAP definitions CMS requires skin assessment within 3 days of admit Coordination of care between physician and nursing staff; as well as patient/family education Budget neutral staff position Current FTE employee moved into the position Absorbed a PRN FTE Shift leader on nights pulled into staffing 22 11

12 Pressure Injuries: Moving from Reporting to Healing Goals Implement an interdisciplinary approach to pressure injury identification and treatment Accurately identify and stage pressure injuries or other problems related to patient skin integrity present on admission (POA). Create a unique plan of care for each patient with loss of skin integrity. Create a skin care education plan to provide nursing staff with a standardized skill set. 23 Pressure Injuries: Moving from Reporting to Healing Goals Interval skin re-assessments completed throughout rehab stay Monitor patients throughout the rehabilitation stay and provide preventative care to avoid loss of skin integrity. Treat developing conditions immediately and aggressively. Accurately assess pressure injuries for discharge reporting 24 12

13 Pressure Injuries: Moving from Reporting to Healing Now Heal This! 25 Pressure Injuries: Moving from Reporting to Healing PNRC Wound Care RN completes full body skin assessment during 3-day admission assessment period (usually on day of admit) Rehab physician responsible for completing admission and discharge documentation with staging Care plan developed in conjunction with medical staff and interdisciplinary team Care plan carried out by staff nurses under direction of Wound Care RN and medical staff throughout rehab stay 26 13

14 Pressure Injuries: Moving from Reporting to Healing Patient and family receive education on maintaining skin integrity during rehab stay New nursing staff receive education with Wound Care RN during orientation PNRC Wound Care RN completes full body skin assessment within three days of discharge Root Cause Analysis of all new/worsened pressure injuries 27 Pressure Injuries: Moving from Reporting to Healing Education Plan Key team leaders viewed the CMS Wound Staging presentation, presented at a CMS IRF Provider Training by Dr. Elizabeth Ayello, PhD, RN, ACNS-BC, CWOM, EN, MAPWCA, FAAN in Baltimore, Maryland May 12, 2014 on YouTube. PNRC nursing staff completed the University of Washington School of Nursing Wound Academy, a 14.5-hour online course. Physicians received education through monthly physician meetings and webinars 2016 CMS Provider Training by Ann Spenard, MSN, RN-BC 2017 PNRC nursing staff trained in Covenant Health s Pressure On to Take Pressure Off program 28 14

15 Pressure Injuries: Moving from Reporting to Healing PNRC Wound Care RN Roles and Responsibilities Stay current on wound care assessment, documentation and reporting Head to toe (nooks and crannies) skin assessment on admission and discharge Detailed documentation of all pertinent skin issues, including charting and photographing Development of treatment plan for any issues involving skin integrity Interval skin reassessments and revisions to skin plan of care Liaison among nursing, physicians, consultants, therapists, case managers, patients, families, and PPS Coordinator Education of new staff Skin resource nurse (rehab and acute hospital units) Physician wrangler Documentation resource (audits, education, FIM ratings, pain, restraints) PRN shift leader/staff nurse

17 Pressure Injuries: Moving from Reporting to Healing PNRC s Status In 2013, 22% of pressure injuries POA healed by discharge. In 2015, 63% of pressure injuries POA healed by discharge. In 2016, 67% of pressure injuries POA healed by discharge. PNRC has not had a new/worsened pressure ulcer since May Pressure Injuries: Moving from Reporting to Healing CMS Provider Review of PNRC The CMS Provider Review release for January 1-June 30, 2014 reported PNRC s rate for new or worsened pressure ulcers to be 0.885%. The CMS Provider Review for January-December 2015 reported a rate of 0.2% for PNRC, compared with the U.S. national rate of 0.8%. The CMS Provider Review for April 2015-March 2016 reported a rate of 0.2% for PNRC, compared with a U.S. national rate of 0.7%
