Creatively Achieving a Meaningful and Satisfying Life PASRR Evaluations and Recommendations That Matter Barbara Speedling Quality of Life Specialist NAPP - September 2015 Conflict of Interests I have no conflict of interest to report. Learning Objectives: Describe the concept of culture change and the expectations of regulators and consumers with regard to applying these principles, particularly as applied to populations with special needs; Define the scope of responsibility to ensure all residents are appropriately screened and accommodated for special needs; 1
Learning Objectives: Create person-centered, innovative interventions as alternatives to pharmacologic remedies in response to the behavioral health needs of the populations served. Develop leadership and organizational systems that will support an ongoing path to achieving and sustaining quality of care and quality of life for all those served. What is Quality of Life? Subjective, multidimensional, encompassing positive and negative features of life. A dynamic condition that responds to life events http://www.forbes.com/sites/iese/2013/09/04/quality-of-life-everyone-wants-it-but-what-is-it/ Prevalence of Mental Illness in Long Term Care Number of hospital discharges with psychoses as first-listed diagnosis: 1.5 million (Ref. CDC National Hospital Discharge Survey 2010) Percent of residents with mental disorders: 66.7% (Ref. CDC National Nursing Home Survey 2004) 2
Prevalence Of Mental Illness In Long-Term Care According to an article published by the National Institutes of Health in 2010, over the past decade, the proportion of new nursing home admissions with mental illness other than dementia, including major depression & serious mental illness, such as schizophrenia & other psychotic disorders, has overtaken the proportion with dementia only. Grabowski, Aschbrenner, Rome and Bartels, Quality of Mental Health Care for Nursing Home Residents: A Literature Review, National Institutes for Health, 2010, Frequency of Alzheimer s Every 68 seconds someone in America develops Alzheimer s disease By mid-century, someone in America will develop Alzheimer s disease every 33 seconds Mental Health FFS Medicare-Medicaid enrollee population: 41% have one or more mental health diagnoses; One quarter of Medicare-Medicaid enrollees were classified as having depression; and 12% were diagnosed with schizophrenia or another psychotic disorder in 2008. Physical and Mental Health Condition Prevalence and Comorbidity among Fee-for-Service Medicare-Medicaid Enrollees Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services September, 2014 3
Drug Abuse and Mental Health Issues A 2011 study by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration found: Baby Boomers who came of age in the 60s and 70s when drug experimentation was pervasive, are far more likely to use illicit drugs; Among adults 50-59, current illicit drug use increased to 6.3 percent in 2011 from 2.7 percent in 2002; The most commonly abused drugs were opiates, cocaine and marijuana. Drug Abuse and Mental Health Issues 2010: An estimated six to eight million older Americans almost 20 % of the elderly population had one or more substance abuse or mental health disorders. 2030: Adults 65 and older is projected to increase to 73 million from 40 million between 2010 and 2030. http://newoldage.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/04/29/a-risingtide-of-mental-distress/ Regulatory Reference F285 483.20(e) Coordination A facility must coordinate assessments with the pre-admission screening and resident review program under Medicaid in part 483, subpart C to the maximum extent practicable to avoid duplicative testing and effort. 4
Compliance and Quality Assurance A Level I SCREEN must be completed for all persons prior to admission to a RHCF (nursing home) for any reason and any length of stay. Quality Concern: Many hospitals and some nursing homes do not adhere to the regulation for Level I SCREENs in the admission screening process. Compliance and Quality Assurance Significant Change Residential health care facility (RHCF) residents who have been previously identified through the PASRR (Preadmission Screen Resident Review) process as having mental illness or intellectual disability and have experienced a significant change in status require a new Level II PASRR evaluation. Compliance and Quality Assurance The PASRR definition for a significant change in status is the same as the MDS 3.0 definition which states, "A significant change is a decline or improvement in a resident's status that: Will not normally resolve itself without intervention by staff or by implementing standard disease-related clinical interventions; is not 'self-limiting' (for declines only); Impacts more than one area of the resident's health status; and Requires interdisciplinary review and/or revision of the health care plan." 5
Compliance and Quality Assurance Quality Concerns: Many hospitals and nursing homes are unaware of the significant change requirements; Many hospitals and nursing homes are unaware that the significant change is defined by the MDS 3.0 language; and Residents often return to the nursing home from the hospital following a significant change without benefit of rescreening. PASRR Non-Compliance: Patient Outcomes Lack of treatment for MI/ID; Exacerbation of symptoms and behavioral health concerns associated with MI/ID; Unnecessary hospitalization for symptom management/stabilization; Unnecessary medication/prn psychoactive medications; Diminished standard of quality of life. Corrective Actions Ensure PASRR education for all involved disciplines; Quality assurance monitoring of admission application and review processes; Coordination of services between community, hospital and long term care providers. 6
Corrective Actions Develop interdisciplinary, therapeutic plans to address MI/ID needs per the Level II recommendations; and Develop clinical care plans to include psychiatric intervention, support and social groups, and appropriate pharmacologic treatment. Conflict of Interest I have no actual, potential or perceived conflict of interest.
