3 1 INTRODUCTION As a world leader in telemedicine solutions, including remote patient monitoring, Ontario Telemedicine Network (OTN) has the experience and leadership to implement innovative care models to benefit patients throughout their care journey. In partnership with 10 of 14 LHINs, more than 10,000 patients have been enrolled in Telehomecare to help patients manage their congestive heart failure (CHF) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The subsequent successful trial implementations of Telehomecare in diabetes, post-acute monitoring, chronic kidney disease and mental health, as well as congregate living, reinforces OTN s strong capabilities to leverage opportunities to further mature into new models of care. OTN has received funding from Canada Health Infoway and MOHLTC to plan, implement and evaluate a Telewound care project. The identification of expert project partners is an essential component of the project. To ensure that OTN engages in a fair and transparent process, the OTN project team is releasing an Expression of Interest (EOI) to engage partners and organizations across the province. Submissions from interested partners/organizations will be evaluated and scored on a set criteria outlined below. EOI applicants will be contacted for a readiness assessment to determine the engagement of their team partners and leadership, review of patient data for target populations and review the proposed care model. Up to 3 EOI applicants will be selected. Concurrently, OTN will be procuring a Telewound care technology solution. It is intended that there will be multiple solutions that a Partner/Organization team may select, although this well depend on the outcome of the procurement process. Innovative procurement processes will be used and already demonstrated with the initial Market Sounding session that was held for Telewound care technology solution providers. In responding to this EOI, OTN welcomes partnerships between Local Health Integration Networks, their CCACs and health service providers as the majority of wound care management occurs in the community. Funding up to $100,000 will be available from January 2017 to June 2018 for up to 3 successful EOI applicants. Timelines for the EOI submission are as follows: 1. EOI release: Week of November 7, Applicant questions regarding EOI submission: OTN will accept questions regarding EOI submission up to November 25, To receive OTN s response to EOI questions, interested applicants are asked to submit an to Sandra Mierdel smierdel@otn.ca indicating their interest in submitting an EOI. 3. EOI Due: December 9, 2016 by 5pm. 4. EOI evaluation: week of December 12 th 5. Readiness assessment for short listed EOI applicants: week of December 12 th 6. Final selection of Wound Care project partners: week of December 19 th Telewound Care EOI Page 3 of 12
4 2 TELEWOUND CARE PROJECT BACKGROUND 2.1 Background Wounds often take months to heal, from 8 to up to 45 weeks, 1 or have the potential to not heal at all. Patients typically have more than one wound, experience wound recurrences, and have comorbidities such as congestive heart failure, hypertension and/or diabetes. Having an unresolved or poorly managed wound can often cause, trigger or worsen other health issues and impact the patient s ability to carry out the activities of daily living. It has been shown that identifying the most appropriate wound care plan early has a positive impact on the trajectory and outcome of the wound. However a number of factors limit access to quality wound care, including: Barriers to patient travel, be it distance or type of residence (home, long term care, community hospital, etc.) Inadequate number of wound care nurses to meet demand 1 The limited scope of wound care nurses; physician involvement may be required to order medication, diagnostic interventions, etc. Inconsistent care pathways and adherence to best practices Inadequate number of physicians specializing in wound care to meet demand; wait lists can be greater than a month, jeopardizing the ideal 8-12-week wound-healing timeline 2 Expedited access to wound specialty services avoids unnecessary emergency department visits, hospitalizations and/or delayed hospital discharges, but most importantly avoids pain and, in some cases, premature death. There is consensus that wound care could be made more effective and less costly. The estimated total cost of wounds in Ontario is over $1 billion and improved practices could save at least $100 million, according to the Ontario Hospital Association 3 The Ontario Home Care Association suggests that the adoption of best practices could reduce home care wound costs by 40-50% 4 An Ontario study of over 100,000 diabetic foot ulcer and leg ulcer clients estimated the annual cost of standard community care at $511 million. The same study estimated $338 million in cost savings for these clients by adopting best practices, including $24 million in savings from reduced hospitalizations due to fewer infections and amputations 5 1 Ontario Association of Community Care Access Centres.

Wound Care Canada, Vol. 5.Suppl Telewound Care EOI Page 4 of 12
5 Insufficient access to health care increases amputation rates. One study suggests that timely care for diabetic foot ulcers could reduce high-level amputation by 65-80%, while another suggests that an interdisciplinary strategy that includes education, prevention and close monitoring can decrease amputation rates by 49-85% 6 The potential cost savings (or increase in system capacity) from the implementation of best practice wound care would be significant, given that wound care accounts for half of all CCAC nursing visits. Cumulatively CCACs provide care to 33,000 patients with wounds annually, at a total cost of $240M/year or approximately $7,272/patient/year. 7 Based on the above data, 6 the potential cost savings for CCACs could be up to $5,818/patient/year, depending on wound type, patient co-morbidities, type and cost of bandages, frequency of nursing visits, etc. 2.2 Purpose The objectives of the project include: 1) Improve patient and family caregiver experience with their care. 2) Improve patient outcomes (i.e. Average time to heal, best practice pathways for wound healing) 3) Reduce costs for wound care management (i.e. Average costs for wound care management) Proposed Approach This project targets patients suffering from complex chronic and acute wounds and who rely on treatment from community care service providers to maintain a regular quality of life. Patients would be referred to participating CCACs for wound care management. Target patients would be placed on a best practice outcome-based or service pathway that is supported by a wound care technology solution to enhance assessment, management and selection of appropriate wound care supplies. The wound care digital technology will track progression/delays in wound healing; thereby supporting timely consultation with expert wound care teams/specialists. OTN is seeking a collaborative approach between LHINs and their CCACs and Service Provider Organizations. OTN will work with up to 3 LHINs and their CCACs and Service Provider Organizations to implement the Telewound care project for a minimum of 400 patients. Participating CCACs will be required to formally engage their Service Provider Organizations and Wound Care specialists as required using their preferred model of care i.e. outcome-based or service pathways. Telewound care project will include a wound care digital technology to help clinical staff keep detailed medical records including photographs of healing wounds and statistical trends. Clinical staff will be able to easily share information, photos, and videos regarding a patient s care with 6 Moxey, P.W., Gogalniceanu, P., Hincliff, J.

6 other specialized wound care professionals, thereby facilitating response time care plan adjustments. In addition to the psychological assurance for patients and family care givers that healing is progressing, the technology will support identification of a problem early in the healing process to decrease medical costs and prevent further complications if left untreated. The additional burden on delayed treatment due to lack of clinical providers, as well as the cost of having to travel for follow-up care is being eliminated with the use of Telewound care Role of OTN OTN will work collaboratively with project partners to design, plan, implement and evaluate the Telewound care project.
