System Wide Efforts for Pop Health Readmission Reduction Efforts Hospital Perspective Improving Care Transitions from Hospital to Home Must Haves Pharmacy medication review, education, and filling of Rx before discharge Discharge phone call within 48 hours Leave with appointment to PCP scheduled Complex Patient Management NHRMC Community Paramedics Community Care of the Lower Cape Fear for Medicaid and MSSP Transition Care Managers Improving Care Coordination with SNFs Discharge Telehuddle Preferred Partnership SNF Geriatrician partnership project
System Wide Efforts ED Patient Assistance Center Located in the PAC office in ED Lobby Staffed 7 days a week from 8a-8p by 2 nurses, Licensed Social Workers and Case Manager. Care coordination at the front door Work to link Familiar Faces with the right care/medical home Community partners stationed in PAC office (BH Coastal Horizons, Hospice) Next steps center for communication (SNF, outside MD)
System Wide Efforts for Pop Health Building practice capacity to manage complex patients Notification to PCP of ED, hospitalization and SNF visits Post Discharge Transitional Care Visits with Providers CCM programs for chronically ill patients PharmDs embedded in practices to work on Medication Reviews, counsel patients on adherence, etc. Largest practice also embedding LCSWs to provide patient care
System Wide Efforts for Pop Health Expanding Access to Care Expanding primary care capacity CFM open access to pediatrics Trying to move to call or come philosophy to reduce unnecessary ED use Implementing process for direct referral from ED to practices with indicator of urgency level (0-3 days, 4-7 days, etc.) E-visits

PHYSICIAN QUALITY PARTNERS SOCIAL DETERMINANT STRATEGIES
Introduction Lydia Newman, MPP Executive Director of Clinical Integration & Physician Quality Partners 1. PQP s Efforts to Address Social Determinants for MSSP 2. NHRMC s Broader Efforts Around Health Equity
Why SDOH Matters so Much ACOs Accountable for Total Cost of Care But only 10% of Health Outcomes Driven by Care We Provide 80% behaviors, environment, and social/economic factors
Patients Carry Many Heavy Burdens Big effort to address each patient s needs Even bigger efforts required to solve them at population/community level
Social Determinants Journey Building on NHRMC Work on Access and Quality PQP Adding Predictive Analytics/Risk Segmentation Complex Care Management to Address Patient Needs Beginning Journey Upstream to Address Root Causes Risk stratifying patients Applying Interventions to address each patient s barriers Beginning work in community to address health equity
PQP Risk Segmentation for MSSP Data Driven Interventions 1. Segmenting Risks at Granular Level with CCNC Tools 1. Admission Risks 1. 30 Day Admission Risk & 12 Month 2. Pharmacy Risks 1. Adherence Risk 2. Drug Interaction Risk 3. High Risk Medication Risk 4. Opioid Fill Risk 3. 90 Day Mortality Risk 4. Impactability Scores 1. Transitional Care Impactability Score ROI for TC Services 2. Care Management Impactability Rising Risk population 2. Putting Actionable Information in Hands of Many A. Data in CareImpact (CCNC Tableau Tool) and Scores in Epic 3. Tailoring Interventions to Address Individual Risks
Risk by PCP Care Impact Tool Care Impact Tool ADT of ED and Admit Info. Married to All Risk Data Depicted Infinite Ways, Sortable for Number of Purposes
Actionable Data In Many Hands Low Risks Patients Not Seen/ Needing AWVs Schedulers Practice Visits to Address Care Gaps Address HCCs Sustain Attribution of Patients High Admission Risks 30-day and 12-Month Admission Risks Schedulers, Providers, PharmDs, CCMs Proactive MD Appointments to Prevent Admissions Medication Reviews with PharmDs in practices CCM Engagement Complex Care Management as Needed High Pharmacy Risks Adherence, Discrepancy, High Risk Medication, and Opioid Risks Schedulers, PharmDs/Providers Proactive Appointments to Prevent Admissions Adherence Risk--Affordability and Side Effects Discrepancy Risk--Med Review/Reconciliation Treatment Therapy and Opioid Risks- Review and discuss with providers and patients,
Actionable Data Drives Interventions of Many Mortality Risk Probability of Mortality in Next 90 Days CCMs/ PAC Nurses/Inpatient Care Managers CCMs/Providers review and refer to palliative/hospice CCHIE pings RNs in PAC in ED to review/refer to palliative care/hospice team (Driving a lot of new engagement) Inpatient Care Managers discuss on provider rounds/refer to inpatient palliative care Complex Care Management Impact Score Provides ROI for Complex Care Management Interventions CCMs/PQP review Rising Risk indicator can use proactively to engage those not necessarily in ED or hospital Get in for appointments Link care management Transitional Care Impact Score ROI for Complex Care Management Interventions for Admissions/ED visits Paramedics/CCLCF Complex Care Managers Community Paramedics or CCLCF based on geography, diagnosis, etc. Both entities do home visits, med recs, assessments, linkages to services, etc. Also use scores to impact ED visits
Importance of Home Visits Complex patients --Needs not easily identified/addressed in office visit or by phone --Requires relationship building, MI training, empathy and detective work --PharmDs critical for complex med review Mr. Jones- Patient with diabetes and falls/infections Lost his wife, children live in Florida, lives in rural NC/socially isolated Sold car to pay bills Can t get to church, pharmacy, store, and MD practice too far away, Inherited home in Florida and has one in NC, 2x mortgages Financially stressed, food insecure CM requires broad plan to manage complex needs Started with problem at hand: healing infection Diabetes education nutrition, medication adherence Financial help with prioritizing bills, getting help from children selling home Social/Spiritual--Getting church members to pick him up for church Nutrition--Linking to Meals on Wheels & church food boxes Transportation--Changing to VA practice closer to home/linking to community transportation services And he is more straightforward than many dementia, lack of supports, many stories
SNF Strategies Reduce SNF Utilization, LOS, and Readmissions 1) Hospital Mobilization Project Deconditioning during hospital stay cause of SNF admission Efforts to prevent falls contributing to lack of mobilization/increased deconditioning 2) Family Medicine Residency Home Visits Target patients high risk patients who can t come to clinic Physician, Pharmacist, and care manager Take practice visit to home that includes SDOH H&P Falls Risks Care Giver Support ADLs Environment Nutrition Spiritual health Code Status Most Form
Reducing SNF LOS and Readmissions 3) SNF Discharge Pilot for MSSP Geriatrician reviewing high risk MSSP discharges to SNF Convey her expected plan of care and length of stay to SNF Use Care Manger Following Up with SNFs Calling SNF at transition to ensure effective transfer made Calling again at expected discharge date, ensure patient on track, has home health, PCP appointment, PCP has discharge paperwork, etc. Follow up with patient to confirm home health arrived, PCP appointment in place, have transportation, etc.
Swimming Upstream: Health Equity NHRMC Strategic Plan Focus on Health Equity Employees Starting with Cultural Competency of own Employees Using workforce to impact community through volunteerism Community Gardens, Food Drives, Book Drives, Engaging Community Adding Needed Services Uber, NA and AA for inpatients, Diaper Bank, Meals on Wheels Partnering with community organization formed to stop cycle of youth violence in neighborhood Helping conduct community needs assessment Determining our role in filling identified gaps
Swimming Upstream: Health Equity Reducing Health Disparities Statistically significant differences between Blacks and whites within MSSP data in disease burden and utilization Picked up by Priority Scores, but what do we do to change/do differently? Population % of Total % of White Pop Total MSSP 100% 86% 10% Dual Status 8% 5% 30% CHF 7.2% 6.9% 11% % of Black Pop Diabetes w/complications 8.24% 7.27% 17.2% Diabetes w/o comp 13.8% 13.2% 19.1% Renal Failure 2.4% 2.25% 4.14% Admit rate per 1000 (per claims) 15.4 15.3 17.42 Readmit Rate per 1000 (per claims) 13.6 12.6 20.2 Palliative Care Indicator 5.4% 4.8% 11.24% TC Priority 29.3% 28.3% 41.5%
Cost per beneficiary down $177 per patient ($3 M total) since per beneficiary down $177 per pa interventions began Q3 2016 All MSSP Cost up $221, FFS up 1,366 (FFS deducted non utilizers in Q1 2017)
Cost per Dual down $3,572 ($1.85 MM), (In Part Due to SNF Pts out of attribution 1/1/17) All MSSP cost up $379, and FFS up $1,284
Outcomes Component cost per beneficiary on short term hospital down $48 All MSSP up $73 All FFS up $395
Hosp. rate down 22 per 1,000 = 378 fewer per year Admissions continuing to decline vs. all MSSP and FFS constant
Readmit Rate top quartile, 14.7%
