Triad HealthCare Network Transitions of Care One of the times when our patients are most vulnerable is when they leave the hospital and transition to home Patients often lack support systems, adequate knowledge, and needed medications to prevent readmissions The communication necessary to make a good handoff between hospitalist and outpatient provider has not always been adequate We all have individual stories of where the system has failed patients What do we do about this? 38

Triad HealthCare Network Transitions of Care Review of medical literature Studies targeting one intervention have generally not worked There is no magic bullet Studies show that there are targetable populations The patients who have more chronic illness burden and who had a more serious acute illnesses derive the most benefit Studies show that the main three interventions which worked Care coordination by a nurse Home/Office visit soon after discharge Communication between hospital and PCP 39

Triad HealthCare Network Iodine Update Initial plan was to start on 4/1/16 and be completed by 7/1/16 The Cone Health IT owner of this left and new staff had to be brought up to date Announced in the 8/18/16 Beacon Instructions on how to get the app activated on your smartphone or create web access to it (with email notifications) In case you missed it: http://www.triadhealthcarenetwork.com/resources/media-2/iodine-secure-textmessaging/ 45

Triad HealthCare Network Iodine Update When and how to use Iodine Anytime you need to have HIPAA compliant asynchronous communication with another provider Examples Saw Betty Smith, DOB 09/02/56, today. Seeing you next week. Her creatinine is up sharply to 3.6. Understand John Black, DOB 08/16/42, in with CHF. We talked about advanced planning at his last visit. Call me if you need update. Sharon Jones, DOB 4/25/48, stopped her Coumadin. You will need to reschedule her cardioversion. Evidence from literature and other health systems is that secure texting helps coordinate care and lower unnecessary costs 46

Triad HealthCare Network Iodine Update Please activate Iodine via smartphone or web access soon Phone numbers in the User Guide to help you if needed Important: If you don t use Iodine quarterly, your account will be deactivated You will receive a quarterly text message from Iodine/Cone Health please respond so that your account remains active If you find that this is being used inappropriately, please feel free to let me know! We want this to be an asset, not a burden! Cone IT staff on each site tonight to assist with enrollment 47
