1 How Can I get Beyond the Basics of Hospital Readmission and Become a Preferred Provider? Kim Barrows RN BSN Session Objectives At the end of the session the learner will be able to: 1. Discuss the history of hospital readmission and its impact on the industry. 2. Discuss and analyze the types of data necessary to appropriately measure hospital readmission rates. 3. Describe potential solutions within your facility that will positively affect clinical outcomes. 4. Describe how progress is measured after implementation. 5. Discuss measures to ensure continuous quality improvement. 1

2 The Affordable Care Act This Act has brought about many challenges but at the same time it has opened opportunities for Skilled Nursing Facilities to set themselves apart from their competitors. Why The Focus The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (March 23, 2010) has several provisions to reduce hospital readmissions Medicare is offering financial incentives to reduce potentially avoidable hospital transfers through pay-for-performance, bundled payments, ACOs and other strategies CMS implemented financial penalties for hospitals with high 30 day readmission rates for the following diagnoses: CHF, Pneumonia, Acute Myocardial Infarction, COPD and elective Hip & Knee Replacements. 2

3 What is an ACO? Groups of volunteer doctors, hospitals, nurses and other care providers who offer coordinated quality care to a specific population of patients. ACO Models in Ohio ml?statepass=oh 3

4 Bundled Payments Bundled Payments 4

5 Readmission Penalties by Hospital *Provided by Kaiser Health News; How Did Medicare Decide On Penalties? Policy developed by CMS endorsed by the National Quality Forum (NQF) for heart attack, heart failure and pneumonia Three years of discharge data and minimum of 25 cases for each condition were used to develop these ratios Adjustment for factors that are clinically relevant including patient demographic characteristics, co-morbidities and patient frailty *Provided by Kaiser Health News; 5

6 30 Day, All-Condition Medicare Readmission Rates Post-Acute Care Reform SNF Readmission Penalties Oct 1 st 2016-CMS will share with you how you are performing as far as readmissions Oct 1 st 2017-Rates will be shared with the public on Nursing Home Compare Oct 1 st 2018-Rates will be cut 2%; based on your performance with readmissions you could get 98% of your rate or greater than 100% act_sheet.pdf 6

10 Tracking Log Considerations Percentage of residents that are readmitted within the first 30 days for MI, Pneumonia or Heart Failure? Then include all diagnosis. Did we fully implement the cardiac program? Joint Replacement Program? Pulmonary Program? Who is referring to you? What type of residents are you admitting? Physician Tracking 10

11 How to Measure Rehospitalization Rates Based on claims (hospital & SNF Part A) Does not include ER visits and observation stays Excludes Medicare Advantage and private insurance %= numerator denominator %= # of persons sent to hospital # of persons admitted to SNF Brown University: SNF rehosp rates Great Emphasis On Quality Assuring and/or improving quality requires documenting valid metrics and proactively implementing & monitoring systems How are we being graded?
