PatientPing offers several advantages, including notifications on admissions and discharges at hospitals as well as post-acute care facilities across Michigan. PatientPing also allows POs to craft guidelines that are pushed by PatientPing to the admitting facilities so the facilities know who to contact about a MiPCT patient who has experienced a transition. Additionally, PpatientPing is working on integrating notifications directly into EHRs, as well as transmitting medication reconciliation information. Please keep in mind that this service is available for MiPCT patients at project cost to the PO or practice, to the extent that project funding allows. POs who participated in our collaboration with Crimson will be transitioned and onboarded to PatientPing first in Wave One. To the extent that project funding allows, we will also provide an opportunity for additional POs to participate so that their practices may also receive MiPCT patient ADT notifications as Wave Two participants. If you have participated in the ADT partnership in the past, your PO ADT leads will receive a meeting invitation to the Wave One webinar. For the remaining POs, there will also be a webinar on September 23 from 9-10am about the opportunity to be a part of Wave Two. In the interim, attached is brief overview of the structure of the MiPCT PatientPing partnership.

Stories of Your Care Management Success by her primary care provider was several months ago. The MiPCT list was reviewed for her eligibility. Laurie Smith, LMSW, HCM, Everingham Clinic, Medical Network One Health Solutions, BCBSM - Medicare Advantage While screening the BCBSM (Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan) gaps in care list, it was determined that Sue had an elevated HbA1C of 8.6, was overdue for her annual health maintenance exam, and the last time she was seen Sue was a 77 y/o at the time she was screened for care management. Her chronic conditions included Type 2 diabetes, hyperlipidemia, hypertension and ischemic heart disease. During the outreach call to the patient, Sue admitted to not taking her diabetes medication because it caused bloating. Sue agreed to meet with the care manager face-to-face Behind the Data by MDC s Behind the Data section provides high-level information about the data for the MiPCT project in a Q & A format. Q: On the Dashboard, the Quality Graph shows that most of my PO s diabetes measure rates are below the MiPCT benchmarks. From the tables below the graph, I can see that the Commercial payers had the lowest rates. What other information can I access to help me target areas for improvement? A: From the Report Writer, you can easily run a report that lists all your Practices and their associated diabetes measure rates for only the commercial population. To do so, complete the following steps: 1. Click the PO Reports tab, and then select Report Writer. 2. In the Display Data for box, confirm that your PO is selected. 3. In the Select Report Detail Level box, select Practice. 4. In the Quality section, under the Chronic Conditions heading, select Commercial. 5. Verify that all of the diabetes measures are selected. 6. Select to display the report on the page or in an Excel spreadsheet. The resulting report lists all of the Practices in your PO with their associated rates, limited to the diabetes measures and the commercial population. From here you can determine actions to help improve your diabetes metrics. For more detailed information about the Report Writer, see the Report Writer User Guide at (https://www.michigandatacollaborative.org/mdc/assets/report_writer_user_guide.pdf). If you have any questions, or if you would like to provide feedback or suggestions, please contact MDC at MichiganDataCollaborative@med.umich.edu
during the initial call. During the first face-to-face visit Sue stated she was not testing her blood sugar because she did not have glucometer strips. Sue agreed to enroll in care management. Improvement of Sue s HbA1C was established as the long term goal. Sue and the care manager began to work on a plan to achieve this goal through Sue s self-management of her condition. The patient learned about her diabetes medication. This included how to take her diabetes medication with meals, which then alleviated the bloating. During her follow-up with the primary care provider (PCP) her health maintenance exam was completed and the care manager, along with the medical assistants helped Sue obtain new prescriptions for her glucometer supplies. care manager. NEXT ISSUE DATES: Next MiPCT P.O. FLASH Issue: September 14, 2015 Next MiPCT Practice FLASH Issue: August 31, 2015 The care manager met with Sue over several weeks. Their visits focused on helping Sue gain an understanding about her diabetes medication, meal planning and her chronic conditions. This included teaching Sue about her diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia and how lifestyle changes such as exercise and diet could positively impact her health. Through coaching calls, Sue also revealed that she often falls asleep before taking her bedtime dose of her diabetes medication. When the PCP was consulted about lack of adherence to her medication, the PCP changed the administration time to the morning instead of bedtime. Additional topics of discussion were symptoms of hypoglycemia, avoiding constipation and increasing physical activity. While engaged in care management, Sue experienced a stroke and an amputation of a toe. During her hospitalization the care manager coordinated her care, which included scheduling appointments with specialists. Sue reported that despite her hospitalization, her blood sugars were the best they have ever been as evidenced by her improved HgA1C of 7.3. Soon after the hospitalization the care manager transferred this case to a high intensity care manager (HICM) who now follows the case through in-home visits. The goals set through HICM include increasing balance and lower limb strength through physical therapy. The goals of improving her daily nutrition and diet were carried over to the HICM
