Let s get up to speed, how far have we come in NHSN reporting? 4
Historical Overview 2011: CMS published final rule for the ESRD Quality Incentive Program measures including NHSN Dialysis Event Reporting Measure 2012: First performance year for NHSN Dialysis Event Reporting Measure 2014: First payment year for NHSN Dialysis Event Reporting Measure 2016: For this payment year the NHSN Dialysis Event Reporting Measure moved from a reporting to a clinical measure Simply, it matters what your data says now 5
2013-2015 Network 5 NHSN Work NHSN Monthly Data Checks In previous CMS contracts the Network was tasked with performing monthly NHSN data checks using CDC-created checklist and reporting results to CMS NHSN Bi-Annual Surveys The Network also reviewed facilities with the highest and lowest BSI rates bi-annually to review: Surveillance practices using CDC survey tool Report on BSI prevention practices 6
What did we learn from these activities? Figure: Low Reporting of Hospital BSIs Root Cause Analysis Diagram Source: 2015 NHSN Bi-Annual Surveys completed by ESRD Network 5 7

Problems and CMS Direction Bloodstream Infections (BSIs) are problematic accounting for a substantial number of hospitalizations for dialysis patients Active collection and use of surveillance data is critical for any BSI prevention program Dialysis providers are challenged by incomplete transfer of pertinent clinical data from their patients hospitalizations 2016-2020 CMS Statement of Work The Network is tasked with planning and performing quality improvement activities to increase facility reporting BSIs among dialysis patients that are identified within one calendar day following hospital admission. 10
Project Overview Domain Support for Facility Data Submission to NHSN Scope Minimum of 20 facilities and 5 hospitals Objective Identify dialysis facilities without EMR access and affiliated hospitals Implement activities to improve communication of key information between hospitals and facilities using RCA and the PDSA cycle Goal Increase reporting of BSIs collected in a hospital by June 2017 11
How was my clinic selected? 12
NHSN Data Review The Network reviewed: 1. Facility Location freestanding, freestanding but owned by a hospital, and hospital-based 2. Reported bloodstream Infections by state 3. Reported BSIs by location hospital collected or dialysis facility collected 4. Facilities with high long-term catheter rates 5. Clinic census (patient-months) 13

Reported BSIs by Location Table: Reported BSIs stratified by Dialysis Facility Location, January-June 2016 Dialysis Facility Location # of Facilities # PBCs Collected in Hospital or ED # BSIs Reported % of PBCs Reported Freestanding 305 67 567 11% Freestanding but owned by a hospital 19 17 55 31% Hospital Based 12 44 76 58% Source: NHSN Frequency of Dialysis Events Table Note: n = 336, January-June 2016, while we have more freestanding facilities our hospital-associated clinics have higher reporting rates of PBCs collected in a hospital 15
Inclusion/Exclusion Criteria 1. Facility average census must be greater than 50 patients/month 2. Average catheter rate must be greater than the ESRD QIP threshold, > 10.00% 3. Facility must have reported 0 BSIs collected in a hospital for > 3 months within the baseline timeframe (Jan-Jun 2016) 16

Identified Virginia and Maryland as areas for opportunity 17
Virginia or Maryland? Healthcare Quality Innovators (HQI) introduced Network 5 to CRISP Chesapeake Regional Information System for our Patients (CRISP) Regional Health Information Exchange (HIE) serving Maryland and the District of Columbia Answer: Maryland because we have an available intervention to improve the transfer of information from the hospital to the dialysis center electronically 18
What is an HIE? HIEs allow clinical information to move electronically among disparate health information systems 19
What is the goal of a HIE? Deliver the right health information to the right place at the right time to ensure care is: Safer Timelier Efficient Effective Equitable Patient-Centered 20
What has happened up until this point? 21

All 9 clinics have access to ENS PROMPT to receive alerts on their patients 23
Tell me more about CRISP 24
Hospital Connectivity CRISP currently receives information pertaining to ED visits and inpatient admissions in real-time from: All Maryland hospitals (49) All D.C. Hospitals (9) 6 Delaware Hospitals INOVA hospitals in Northern Virginia (5) 3 West Virginia Hospitals A number of long-term care facilities 25
System Features Encounter Notification Services (ENS) Sends a secure email message to providers for active patients in the clinic. Alerts such as: Hospital Admission Hospital Discharge Emergency Room Visit CRISP Clinical Query Portal Gives providers the ability to securely look up patient information through the internet. Retrieves clinical data from participants and displays it in a viewonly screen at the point of care. 26
CRISP Clinical Query Portal Access to real-time clinical information from all CRISP participants including: Lab results Radiology reports Discharge summaries History and physicals Consultations Operative notes Transfer summaries Prescription drug monitoring program (PDMP) data ImmuNet 27
ENS Proactive Management of Patient Transitions (ENS PROMPT) ENS PROMPT is a secure, web-based tool to help facilities better manage notifications. Features Encounter alerts stream continuously in real time Advanced, custom filter options, with the ability to save custom filters for easy reuse Download alert data in spreadsheet format View data spanning the past 30 days Search patients by name or medical record number (MRN) Manage notifications by status use ENS PROMPT s real0time tracking feature to mark patients complete and streamline workflow View patients readmission count 28
