5 Initiatives, Interventions & Outreaches 9 CPC Community Collaborative ACO TTH My Health SNF Community Resources PAM FHP 1. Individuals come to the hospital at the right time. (By way of prevention and education, members learn to come earlier in their symptoms before something becomes an acute emergency. It s much more expensive to treat acute cases in the ER.) Find the Right Door 2. Individuals come through the right door. (Members get information about how to access primary care facilities and doctors, avoiding the ER if possible to keep costs lower.) 3. Individuals come ready to be treated: Education reduces anxiety, they understand their benefits & financial options, & they understand their medications. 4. Individuals to understand the importance of a support system: As payers & providers empowering those we serve to identify their support system is an extremely important part of recovery especially support after the patient is released from an inpatient stay. 5

9 Do You Know What the Patient WANTS? Dr. Gawande s Four Questions? (1) What is the person s understanding of their health or condition? (2) What are their goals if their health worsens (3) What are their fears? (4) What are the trade-offs they are willing to make and not willing to make? 17 Is What you see What they see? Perception is Key.. Feedback provided to facilities through patient survey data to allow them to view their facility through the eyes of their patients. 18 9

10 Patient Activation Measure (PAM ) 19 The PAM survey reliably predicts future ER visits, hospital admissions and readmissions, medication adherence and more. PAM activation levels are mapped to hundreds of consumer health characteristics motivators, attitudes, behaviors and outcomes for dozens of health conditions. Take Individuals from Disengaged to Activated PAM identifies where an individual falls within four different levels of activation. This gives providers and health coaches insight to more effectively support each individual. Curative Medical Care Palliative Care What are the Patient s Goals?

Both area hospitals management teams have been educated on the information needed to assess a member for admission to SNF level of care. The 5 items on the checklist below are key components on what is needed for a SNF facility to evaluate for a SNF level of care placement. 1. Face sheet with the patients demographics 2. Physicians order The order needs to indicate they are discharging to a SNF level of care. 3. Current Medication list preferably to include the last dose received 4. Current Physical Therapy notes. 5. H & P The information should be current for review. You should not be reviewing a patient on Monday to accept them on Friday, by Friday they may be able to go home with home health. When they arrive at your facility they should have hard scripts for all medications requiring them. Please notify me if this continues to be an issue. 11
