First, Who I am.. Lake erie Where I work 8 community hospitals 20 family health centers Florida Westin Canada Toronto Las Vegas, Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health Abu Dhabi Willoughby Hills Family Health Center 4
Mission The journey of medicine Traditional Office based Express locations 5
Current Value-Based Drivers for SMAs Population management Improve chronic disease outcomes Promote wellness Facilitate access Better utilize decreasing PCP resources Increase patient/ provider satisfaction Improve productivity Reduce cost per unit of service Payment for Quality The mission Diabetes: blood pressure Minimal change. <130/80:CDC data 6
Why no change? One theory.. Hurdles in Care Cost Coverage of services Logistical: geographic, transportation Increased chronic disease prevalence Access to next available appointment 2 7
Patient barriers to care What do our patients retain?? 1. Studies: 40-80 percent of the medical information patients receive is forgotten 2. Approx. 50 % of the information retained is incorrect. References 1. Kessels RP. Patients' memory for medical information. J R Soc Med. May 2003;96(5):219-22. 2. Anderson JL, Dodman S, Kopelman M, Fleming A. Patient information recall in a rheumatology clinic. Rheumatology. 1979;18(1):18-22. And competing priorities. Access vs. medical home Quality vs. pay 4 performance Provider shortages vs. training Complexity of healthcare vs. less time Work smarter vs. less resources EMR vs. cost of change Transforming care!!!!!! 8
And If we do nothing. Ideal care model would address challenges : Permits more time Provides resources and expertise Facilitates focus on self-management Leverages Peer Interaction Address barriers (access, complexity) Promotes Education 9
What if patients drove the care model?? SMA program overview Cleveland Clinic Individual SMA s 1999-2000 Enterprise wide initiative began Nov.2010 Goals: Standardization of tools, process Organization of a Program Team (3) Umbrella for development of all SMA s 10
SMA Program Cleveland Clinic 2014 YTD Active Appointments 77 Providers 63 Locations 20 11
What is a Shared Medical Appointment (SMA)? 90 minute appointment - 10-12 patients seen together with a similar condition or chronic disease - Combines the traditional one-on-one physician visit with participation in shared discussion The Theory to SMA s Education Matters.. Managing environmental triggers Objective patient and provider measures of successful disease control Impact on compliance (device, medication) Patient involvement in disease management How information is delivered 12
Determine SMA Format 2 Kinds of SMAs: Annual Wellness Physical Chronic Disease Follow-Up SMA Categories(non-inclusive) Pre-Diabetes care Asthma Menopause Wellness Back Pain and pregnancy Adolescent weight Medical Weight Loss Macular degeneration Diabetes Primary and Endocrinology Bariatric: Post-surgical Osteoporosis Sleep Medicine (CPAP) Menopause CHF Discharge Weight Management: Primary care Diabetic foot care Shared Nutrition Stroke Heel pain Psychiatry : Mood Disorders 13
SMA Benefits Provider Improved access Leverage resources Maximize scope of practice Workflow efficiency Remove redundancy Satisfaction Quality Visits Patient Prompt Access to Care Inc. physician time Access to additional learning resources Learning enhanced through repetition Satisfaction Quality of care Who Benefits? Chronic Disease Patients needing routine follow-up care, i.e. chronic conditions: diabetes, asthma Conditions where education is critical Patients who desire additional time with their physician or healthcare professional 14
Who is here??? Group introductions Hospital vs. private practice Primary care vs. specialist Have an SMA concept or experience Concepts: Where To Start??? 15
Why Consider??? Opportunity. Decrease Repetition Maximize scope of staff Add service (i.e. nutrition, CDE) High Quality Improve access Additional education opportunities Staff and provider satisfaction Cleveland MetroParks 16

Getting started Component: Provider Large Volume Long wait time/back-log Interest in a concept Desire to add Say the same thing everyday Love to teach Engaged provider Treating our Patients The good physician treats the disease, the great physician treats the patient who has the disease. Sir William Osler 18
Component: concept What conditions? SMA goals; Access? Ease of scheduling High Volume/patient demand Resources/strengths (extenders, adjunct staff) Then select a condition Condition: Add details Involve engaged provider Areas of interest Ease of Scheduling Current resources Patient benefit Impact on quality of care? 19
Component : team Know team strengths Identify resources Engage representation: clinical, clerical, facilitator, provider Add Value!!!!! Can do with no additional staffing!!!! Optional: scribe Define team SMA goals i.e. Metabolic syndrome Chronic Disease : improved management, lower HgA1C Target: all patients with abnormal glucose Value: patient education Tools : (use of food charts, adding PT) Available time: evenings 20
Component: patient Current scheduling process Patient identification/triage New vs. established Determine patient exclusions (minimal) Ability to recruit Define patient goals i.e. Diabetes Exposures toresource expertise in DM; Nutrition Complimenting primary care OV Increase self-management Goal: increase use of additional resources for a more focused DM visit 21

Great help. Would love to get more information and linkages between food and health. (impacts and consequences) Verbatim Is always informative my son really has enjoyed meeting the other kids and it is great to compare experiences Very valuable - teenage girls feel comfortable that they are not alone I love it.

Pediatric Diabetes: TIPS AND WRAP UP 40
Change takes work Technical Engaging all staff Training/education Designing your quality metrics Implementation curve Competing priorities (Our job!!!!) Operational Scheduling Leveraging staff Patient recruitment Develop work flow Exclusions It is new!! Chihuly in the Garden Traditional and New can Intersect 41
Tips The care is the same There are ways to keep the group moving Difficult patients are few Motivated patients are more Have an SMA cart. (equipment, nametags) Education is the benefit, not the basis Be flexible Lessons Learned Target high volume conditions Provide ongoing feedback Identify common points: education Scheduling is critical Set quality, chronic disease goals Facilitator: add value Pilot and engage staff Work efficiently, Add value, Have fun and adjust!!!! 42
Remember: Overcoming Barriers? The ideal care model Permits more time Includes resources and expertise Facilitates focus on lifestyle Leverages Peer Interaction Address barriers (physician and patient) Promotes Education 43
Top 10 Reasons to conduct an SMA 10) Efficient documentation 9) Added resources for our patients 8) Patients want them 7) Added time with our patients 6) Opportunity to add quality to our care 5) Variety for our care teams 4) Customizable, every SMA is unique 3) Patients centered 2) Improved access 1) They are fun!!!!!
