Pediatric Care Coordination Community + + + (RI) States with entities that are in early stages of engagement. Expressed interest in developing care coordination workforce capacity on level of individual institution and/or state-wide program. + *some sites may have implemented since our last communication + + As of May 1, 2015 States with entities that have used the Pediatric Care Coordination Curriculum as a resource to implement care coordination workforce capacity building Across these states, as of May 1, 2015, we are aware of over 20 different institutions using the Pediatric Care Coordination Curriculum as a resource. + States engaged in statewide implementation, some partnering with Title V programs
Benefits of Developing a Community Sharing resources Not re-inventing the wheel Learning from others difficulties and successes Potential for collaboration
Framework for High Value Care Delivery Model Medical home is an essential component of high performing system, but it needs: Financing Work force development Resources which align with integrated care structures (ie, subspecialties) Technology Collaborative Care Models Integration is essential for success evidence exists!
Framework for High Value Care Delivery Model Care Coordination is necessary but not sufficient to achieve integration Care Coordination is the set of activities which occurs in the space between visits, providers, hospital stays, agency contacts Only way to succeed is to engage all stakeholders, including patients and families, as participants and partners
Implications for Accountability Measure at all levels of the system Transparency of performance Incentives supporting activities in the space between Education of work force Support for those activities Support for measurement

Creating High Quality Handoffs What is a Handoff? Transfer of pertinent knowledge between members of a patient s care team, often conducted in anticipation of an upcoming patient encounter. What is the Goal of a High Quality Handoff? To enable the care team to maximize the value of every patient interaction by ensuring relevant knowledge learned by one part of a patient s care team is known to other members at the right time and place. 20
Creating High Quality Handoffs (cont d) What are the Elements of a High Quality Handoff? Goal of anticipated encounter, from perspective of the family and PCP Relevant clinical information (eg, clinical findings, labs, imaging results) Model of referral relationship (eg, one-time consult, on-going co-management) Time sensitivity of requests and action items in the care plan 21

Care Coordination Measurement Tool (CCMT) Intended to be adapted to reflect activities and outcomes of teams in diverse settings Tool can be implemented in different ways depending on goal of collecting data for every encounter once a week every quarter, etc Paper version or web-based versions have been used in past In AHRQ Atlas, core tool can be found on BCH website: http://www.childrenshospital.org/care-coordination-curriculum/carecoordination-measurement
CCMT Background CCMT is a value capture tool designed to track care coordination activities that are currently being done but not being accounted or reimbursed CCMT works to assign value to care coordination activities and get to a true cost of care Initially developed to be a tool used in pediatric primary care practices as a quality improvement initiative CCMT is intended to be adapted by the user/s CCMT is intended to address quality improvement and finance
CCMT Today Available in public domain on BCH website Many institutions are using CCMT to capture value of work that they are doing pediatric primary care adult primary care specialty clinics (inpatient and ambulatory) research settings family-partner organizations
Adaptation: Questions to Inform Process What is goal of using CCMT to collect data? What will data be used to inform? Who will be completing CCMT? What care coordination tasks do they currently perform? What outcomes occur/are prevented due to these care coordination activities? Does any tool validation need to occur? (further explained later)
Implementation: Questions to Inform Process What format will be used to complete CCMT? (Web/paper based?) How often will CCMT be completed? (Think: goal quality improvement/finance)
What to Focus on? Quality Improvement If practice/clinic/organization is: Focusing on re-assigning responsibilities/accountability, making sure everyone is working at top of their license In space where already moved from fee-for-service to global budgets Finance If practice/clinic/organization is: In space to inform conversations about financing options Validation (most necessary when addressing finance domain) In past, created vignettes, episode of care Posed to subject matter experts Inter-rater reliability
National Study of Care Coordination Measurement in Medical Homes Antonelli, Stille, and Antonelli, 2008 Focus of Encounter: Aggregate Data Primary Focus % Encounters Clinical/Medical Management 67 Referral Management 13 Social Services 7 Education/School 4 Developmental/Behavioral 3 Mental Health 3 Growth/Nutrition 2 Legal/Judicial 1
National Study of Care Coordination Measurement in Medical Homes Outcomes Prevented Aggregate Data (32%) of total 3855 CC encounters had something prevented Of the 1232 CC Encounters where prevention was noted as an outcome: Outcome Prevented # Care Coordination Encounters Visit to pediatric office/clinic 714 58 Emergency department visit 323 26 Subspecialist visit 124 10 Percentage
National Study of Care Coordination Measurement in Medical Homes 62% of RN CC Encounters prevented something 33% of MD CC Encounters prevented something Non-revenue-generating office nurses drive the most system-level cost savings: avoidance of ED and office visits
Suggestions Involve people who will be collecting data in the adaptation process Ensure that everyone using the tool is working from common definitions, terms (tip: vignettes are helpful in this case) Before actual data is collected, complete trial using a paper version of the tool for staff to get used to using tool
Steps to Get This Done Decision to Proceed Why? How long to commit? Expected Outcomes Create Episode of Care model Modify CCMT Implement CCMT Incorporate CCMT in electronic format

40 Baseline Subspecialty Utilization
Department of Neurology, Boston Children s Hospital First phase of testing: feasibility/usability of CCMT in clinic
Current Quality of Referrals Integration Quality Initial Referrals into Neurology Presence of a referral request: 6.7% Presence of an in-house referral mentioned in a BCH clinical note: 33.3% For patients coming into these pilot sites, little documentation existed regarding source of referral, initial reason for the referral, and expectations of PCP, if any. Integration Quality for Follow-up Visits Follow-up visits generally have no structured mechanism by which the PCP communicates with the subspecialist about new or on-going expectations or needs. Communications are ad hoc or solely dependent on the patient, family, or caregiver to relay to other members of the patient s care team.
Closing the Loop Getting Results Where They Need to Be on Time Visits resulting in a lab order 47% Lab order completed 75% Family notified of the test results 77% Referring MD notified of the test results 38% Visits resulting in a consult order 21% Consult order completed 48% Neurologist received consult note 92% Findings based on close the loop measurements conducted for 130 visits across eight clinics in the Department of Neurology from May 2014 to February 2015.
Improving Care Transitions Using close the loop measures to confirm improvements in completing lab orders and communicating results in the Rett Clinic: Baseline measurements taken from October 2013 to March 2014. Intervention started April 2014 with weekly team conferences to discuss task ownership and order status. Process shifted to an electronic communication process to better fit the team s workflow. * Q2 2015 data through January and February.
