9 Compliments and Complaints Handwritten letters OPE Department/Division leaders CEO Press Ganey patient satisfaction comments Impact on the individual rating and overall score Personal phone calls 9

10 Compliments that We have Received My reason for writing this letter is that I want the people I interacted with during my stay to know I TRULY felt respected, was treated with kindness and concern throughout ALL of my stay, during tests, and procedures! My caregivers were friendly and professional during my stay, no matter what level they were or where I was taken for tests and treatments. As we wandered around trying to find food or the bathrooms, whatever we were looking for, when there was someone passing by they would ALWAYS stop and ask if they could help us. 10

11 What is a Complaint? Concern expressed by a patient or a patient s family representative regarding dissatisfaction with their care or service at UI Health Care Immediately resolved by staff present that meets the patient s satisfaction and no further follow-up is needed Examples: Communication between service providers on an inpatient unit Disagreement with treatment plans Cleanliness Delay in testing or clinic wait times Nursing concerns 11

12 What is a Grievance? Patient care issues not promptly resolved by staff present Is postponed for later resolution Is referred to other staff for later resolution Requires investigation Requires further action for resolution communicated in writing requested to be filed formally requesting a written response 12

13 What is a Grievance? Complaint that involves Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) conditions of participation Patient abuse, neglect or harm Medicare beneficiary complaints Medicare beneficiary complaints r/t rights and limitations, including billing issues 13

14 Examples of Grievances I am writing to you in expectation that there may be some internal process by which restitution may be made to me for the reckless mis-management of my care Mr. Kates, I am writing to tell you about the poor quality of service my daughter, Olivia, and I received at UIHC I am so bothered by the whole experience of that day, that I am tempted to give this information to the press and social media to vent my frustration When we left the department, I was so disappointed at the lack of response. I would like to speak with someone in upper administration regarding a serious problem of cruelty and abuse to an elderly patient by one of your employees 14

15 Grievance Response Office of The Patient Experience ALWAYS needs to be involved Written or Verbal acknowledgement of grievance provided within 5 working days of receipt of grievance If sent directly to Mr. Kates, Director of OPE is identified to respond in the acknowledgement CMS requires a 7 day resolution or progress report from acknowledgement Ad Hoc meetings as necessary Physician, Legal, Nursing, OPE, Financial services, etc. 15

16 Grievance Response Procedure Patient Relations Specialist will investigate the grievance Physician involved with be contacted Timeliness of response is critical Determine risk management review Response letter includes Who was responsible for reviewing Steps taken to review Outcome of review Potential corrective actions Regulatory information if needed Thank you-- ALWAYS Dissatisfaction with outcome contact information for Iowa Department of Inspections and Appeals & Joint Commission 16

17 Customer Relationship Management (CRM) Epic application Document complaints and grievances received Not visible in the patient medical record Not accessible through MyChart Real-time data collection Each incident is a separate but comprehensive entry Departmental pools for collaborative management DEO, Medical Director, Nurse Manager, Clinical Department Administrator Ability to trend information Quality, Safety, Satisfaction Faculty/staff behavior 17

18 CART and Termination of Care Charge Adjustment Review team (CART) Patient voices concern with the care provided and would like an adjustment to their bill Do not make statements promising that a bill will be waived or adjustments made Termination of Care Do not terminate patient-provider relationship without discussing with clinic, department leadership, and Legal team Evaluate the necessity to transition care to another provider Ensure negative patient behaviors are clearly documented in the medical record 18
