Program overview and goal This two-and-one-half day intensive facilitator training program is designed for RNs, PAs, NPs, nurse educators, social workers, psychologists, professionals with a master s in public health, dietitians and other health professionals caring for heart failure patients. This presentation is part of a holistic, evidence-based program called SPARCC Supporting Personal Accountability and Resiliency for Chronic Conditions. The ultimate goal of this program is to provide health professionals the training and tools to successfully facilitate an evidencebased program for heart failure patients that has measurably lowered heart failure hospital readmissions and substantially improved quality of life for these patients. Facilitator training covers both the medical characteristics of heart failure and the psychosocial aspects of resilience that addresses depression, anxiety and stress. A scientifically proven premise underlying the design and implementation of the program for heart failure patients states that addressing both the clinical and behavioral/psychological aspects of chronic disease, as well as creating the resiliency to take ownership of that disease, results in longer, higher quality life. Once trained and certified, facilitators will be asked to conduct the evidence-based program for heart failure patients and their caregivers living in their vicinity. The program combines resiliency theory and medical selfmanagement and is offered in four 2-hour weekly sessions. During this statewide improvement initiative, those who complete facilitator training and conduct training sessions for heart failure patients will be paid for their time and reimbursed for travel expenses. The goal is for each facilitator to conduct one or two training sessions in each of the following years: 2015, 2016 and 2017. No cost for training and support materials Training and support materials are provided for you at no cost by The University of Kansas Hospital as part of its involvement with CMS s Delivery System Reform Incentive Program (DSRIP). As part of DSRIP, we will be reporting both deployment and outcomes data to CMS to demonstrate the impact of this work. Accordingly, we will supply easy-touse reporting tools that will help facilitators track key measures that save lives and reduce readmissions and hospital lengths of stay. The intent is for hospitals and clinics to adopt this training as their own and brand it as a service to their patients. The University of Kansas Hospital can supply hospitals and clinics with customizable news releases that can be individually branded. As facilitators learn more about the SPARCC model, they will be able to apply it to other chronic conditions combining specific clinical information with the psychosocial impact of chronic disease.
Heart failure in southeast Kansas Heart failure is a chronic, life-threatening condition in which the heart has been weakened and can no longer pump enough oxygen and nutrient-rich blood throughout the body. Some 400-450 heart failure patients have been recently admitted to hospitals in the seven-county southeast Kansas region many more have been diagnosed with heart failure. Heart failure is the leading cause of hospitalization for people over 65. Heart failure can put patients on a frightening and lonely path as they cope with this serious condition and being hospitalized only heightens their anxiety. Some patients have good support systems; others do not. Even with good support, patients often are confused about how to manage their weight, diet, blood pressure and medications and, just as important, the emotional impact of their chronic condition. In combination, these factors can create anxiety and depression, lower adherence to their healthcare provider s recommendations and lead to higher rates of hospital admission and readmission. Moreover, it is known that illnesses, such as heart failure, affect the entire family, creating anxiety and sometimes significant dysfunction within the family system. Being older, a smoker, a minority or poor are also risk factors. Objectives At the conclusion of this facilitator training, participants should be able to: Achieve the skills necessary to facilitate the SPARCC training program for heart failure patients. Factor into this training the10 facets of resilience. Impart to patients the skills to strengthen resilience. Convey in simple terms the physiologic effects of stress and the strategies for stress reduction. Equip patients with tools that assist them in achieving a mindset of optimism and hope. Incorporate into training several strategies for effective patient self-management nonjudgmental acceptance of self and selfcare, including diet, exercise, adherence to provider recommendations and symptom monitoring. Discuss the epidemiology and pathophysiology of the two major types of heart failure. Recognize the signs and symptoms of heart failure and the essential physical assessment tools. Identify the role of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs), angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), beta blockers, aldosterone antagonists and diuretics in the pharmacologic management of heart failure. Identify the role of device therapy in heart failure patients.
