Executive Secretary TEL (415) FAX (415) Web Site: MINUTES JOINT CONFERENCE COMMITTEE FOR ZUCKERBERG SAN FRANCISCO GENERAL HOSPITAL AND TRAUMA CENTER Tuesday, July 24, :00 p.m Potrero Avenue, Building 25, 7 th Floor Conference Room H7124, H7125 and H7126 San Francisco, CA ) CALL TO ORDER Present: Excused: Staff: Commissioner Edward A. Chow, M.D., Chair Commissioner Laurie Green, M.D. Commissioner David J. Sanchez, Jr., Ph.D. Susan Ehrlich MD, Sue Carlisle MD, Alice Chen MD, Terry Dentoni, Troy Williams, Todd May, Jim Marks MD, Terry Johnson, Jeff Critchfield, Leslie Safier, William Huen MD, Basil Price, Claire Horton MD, Jennifer Boffi, Tosan Boyo, Virginia Dario Elizondo, Dan Schwager, Kim Nguyen 2) APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES OF THE JUNE 26, 2018 ZUCKERBERG FRANCISCO GENERAL JOINT CONFERENCE COMMITTEE MEETING Commissioner Comments: Commissioner Chow asked for clarification of the following statement mentioned on page 2, item 4: Commissioner Green asked how a potential decrease in diversion rates would impact ambulance flow and acute bed days. Dr. Marks stated that there is not a linear relationship between the diversion rate and the number of ambulances that arrive at ZSFG, especially since we do not divert trauma, STEMI, or stroke, but that generally it would be expected that reducing diversion would increase the number of ambulance arrivals and the number of patients admitted to acute beds. 1 P a g e
2 Dr. Marks submitted via a corrected statement, which has been added to the final minutes: Commissioner Green asked how a potential decrease in diversion rates would impact ambulance flow and acute bed days. Dr. Marks stated that there is not a linear relationship between the diversion rate and the number of ambulances that arrive at ZSFG, especially since we do not divert trauma, STEMI, or stroke. He added that decreases in diversion could lead to making up to 45 acute beds available. Action Taken: The Committee unanimously approved the minutes. 3) REGULATORY AFFAIRS REPORT Troy Williams, Chief Quality Officer, presented the item. Commissioner Comments: Commissioner Chow asked for the location of the ZSFG urgent care services. Mr. Williams stated that the ZSFG urgent care services will be located in building 5 where the former emergency services were located. 4) QUALITY MEASURE UPDATE Leslie Safier, Director, Performance Improvement, presented the item. Commissioner Comments: Commissioner Chow noted that the report shows that several items are in red, indicating that these goals have not been met. He asked how these scores compare to the prior year. Ms. Safier stated that there is variability in these measures. She noted that for some measures, the number of cases is very small so one case can skew the data. Commissioner Green asked how the ZSFG handles a request from a new mother to both breast and bottle feed. She noted that it is important to educate mothers to make choices based on the understanding that either bottle or breastfeeding is not exclusionary of the other option. Dr. Chen, San Francisco Health Network Medical Officer, stated that the scores do not reflect the amount of discussion and reflection from ZSFG staff on this issue. Dr. Ehrlich stated that the ZSFG paradigm is that it is a woman s choice. She added that under the PRIME pay for performance program ZSFG must make certain metrics on this issue in order to receive revenue. Commissioner Chow asked for more information regarding the Emergency Department measures. Dr. Ehrlich stated that the Emergency Department census is usually higher in winter. The volume for this unit is increasing 7% per year. Commissioner Chow requested that the graph should show the previous year s data. 5) TRUE NORTH SCORECARD Brent Costa, Strategic Planning Manager, presented the item. Commissioner Comments: Commissioner Chow asked for more information regarding the EHR measure. Dr. Ehrlich stated that the next milestones are adoption-setting sessions in August and September. 2 P a g e
3 Commissioner Chow asked if the salary variance is expected to change since it is a new fiscal year. Dr. Ehrlich stated that the new ZSFG budget should better reflect adequate staffing for the hospital s higher volume of patients. Commissioner Green asked if there is a correlation between ZSFG readmission and diversion rates. Dr. Ehrlich stated that there is little variation in readmission rates but the diversion rates vary considerably so she does not think there is a significant relationship. 6) HOSPITAL ADMINISTRATOR S REPORT Susan Ehrlich M.D., Chief Executive Officer, presented the item. LIKELIHOOD TO RECOMMEND PATIENT SATISFACTION SCORES ZSFG s Likelihood to Recommend Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) Scores Likelihood to recommend (LTR) is one of the best measures for comparing one hospital to another and is a leading indicator of patient satisfaction. ZSFG s May 2018 LTR HCAHPS score was 81%, above our target of 80%. Since January 2018, we have seen our LTR score trend upward. We attribute this to the realignment of departmental CEX improvement activities to ZSFG s operational priorities, e.g. Patient Flow (inpatient) and Access (specialty care) and leveraging the daily management system (DMS) rollout to engage departments and sustain improvements. In addition to seeing an upward trend of LTR scores, we are equally excited for the transition of our HCAHPS patient satisfaction survey vendor from NRC Health to Press Ganey. Press Ganey is one of the nation s leading provider of patient satisfaction surveys, and will provide ZSFG with tools to diversify our survey methodology (by adding electronic internet surveying capabilities), enable real-time patient feedback, and increase patient response rates. Go live for Press Ganey is scheduled for October We look forward to our partnering with Press Ganey to compare our performance, look for opportunities to do better and deliver a positive, consistent experience for our patients across the continuum of care.

Highlights of the event included distribution of the Krevans awards to each Department's outstanding Resident leaders, as well as the Rapaport Award to Chief of Pediatrics Elena Fuentes- Afflick, MD for her outstanding career contributions and leadership to ZSFG.

Currently, she is assisting with the roll out of the Daily Management System in the Emergency Department, and is collaborating with the ED nurse leaders and providers to implement CARE START, an initiative to determine appropriate placement of patients between the ED and Urgent Care Clinic. Dr. Hemal Kanzaria, Assistant Professor of Clinical Emergency Medicine, is also participating as a KPO Fellow this year. Dr. Kanzaria is a certified lean leader, and his work has focused on the social determinants of health in the ED. He has co-led the creation of a new interdisciplinary social consult service that has been incredibly successful in preventing short and non-acute stays to the hospital, instead providing patients with services that allow them to stay in the community. Dr. Kanzaria also works with the SFDPH Whole Person Care project, and serves as the Director of Complex Care Analytics for the SFHN. 4 P a g e

Ms. Nguyen stated that the awardee was Elena Fuentes-Afflick MD, Chief of Pediatrics. 7) PATIENT CARE SERVICE REPORT Terry Dentoni, Chief Nursing Officer, presented the item. Professional Nursing for the Month of June 2018 Bridgette Hargarten, Nurse Manager, is participating as a Kaizen Promotion Office (KPO) Fellow this year. Immersed in Lean Management principles as a KPO Fellow, Bridgette has been providing coaching in A3 Thinking for the ZSFG Emergency Department (ED), Psychiatry and Medical Surgical units, primarily focusing on Staffing A3s to optimize nursing staff participation on interdisciplinary teams. Currently, she is assisting with the roll out of the Daily Management System in the Emergency Department, and is collaborating with the ED nurse leaders and providers to implement CARE START, an initiative to determine appropriate placement of patients between the ED and Urgent Care Clinic. 9
10 Emergency Department (ED) Data for the Month of June 2018 June 2018 Diversion Rate: 53% ED Diversion 298 hours (41%) + Trauma Override 84 hours (12%) Total ED Encounters: 6707 ED Admissions: 1067 ED Admission Rate: 15.91% 10
11 Psychiatric Emergency Service (PES) Data for the Month of June 2018 Overview: On February 1, PES in collaboration with the Progress Foundation initiated a Pilot for Diversion of ADU Candidates from PES to DUCC. Our data suggests that the test has been successful. In June, PES completed 662 patient encounters. The Condition Red/Diversion rate decreased this month, from 12.2% in May to 10.2% in June. The median length of stay increased this month, going from 12 hours in May to 14.5 hours in June. The Leadership Team opted to disclose the median values because they may be less sensitive to the effects of outliers with protracted stays. As a result, PES was more accessible and accepted 93% of all appropriate transfer requests from other hospitals for emergency psychiatric assessments in the month of June. 11
12 Psychiatric Emergency Service (PES) Data for the Month of June 2018 continued 12
13 Psychiatric Emergency Service (PES) Data for the Month of June 2018 continued 13
14 Request for Inter-Facility Transfer to PES from other Hospitals A priority of PES is to improve the timeliness and appropriateness of inter-facility transfers from referring hospitals. The following three types of PES referrals have been observed: Accepted and Arrived, Accepted and Cancelled, and Inappropriate Referral. Accepted and Arrived Referrals refer to patients that have been approved by PES for admission and are transferred and admitted to PES. The transfer of these patients has been authorized by PES based on EMTALA regulations as well as the communication of clinical condition between the sending and the receiving physicians. Screened Appropriate but Cancelled Prior to Acceptance refers to patients that have been screened by a triage nurse and have preliminary approval, but the paperwork has not been reviewed by a physician. Their transfer was then cancelled by the referring facility. This cancellation could be because the referring hospital has decided to place the patient on their own psychiatric unit or because the patient has cleared psychiatrically and the 5150 hold has been dropped. Inappropriate Referrals refer to patients identified through the PES screening process to be inappropriate for transfer and admission to PES for evaluation and disposition. Common reasons for PES to decline transfer of a patient from a referring hospital are medical status (not medically stable for transfer) and insurance status (e.g., private insurance or out of county Medi-Cal). Commissioner Comments: Commissioner Chow asked for more information on the KPO Fellowship. Ms. Dentoni stated that the fellowship is for middle-management level staff and lasts for 18 months. 8) ZSFG RN HIRING AND VACANCY REPORT Terry Johnson, ZSFG Human Resources, presented the item. Commissioner Comments: Commissioner Green noted that when the CPMC campuses close, there will be opportunity to hire experienced nurses. Commissioner Chow requested a graph to show Human Resource trends. 9) MEDICAL STAFF REPORT Claire Horton, M.D., Chief of Medical Staff, presented the item. Commissioner Comments: Commissioner Chow noted that the lower level of care data shows a decrease from 18% to 11%. Dr. Ehrlich stated that ZSFG has worked hard towards reducing the number of lower level of care patients so they can be placed in the most appropriate level of care. Mr. Pickens noted that efforts are being made throughout the San Francisco Health Network to help patient flow. 14
