Using Teach-Back to Improve Immunizations and Readmissions in HHAs Maria Gallegos Project Coordinator, HSAG So Let s Start With Readmission Rates Methodology: Derived from FFS, Part-A hospital claims. The rates represent readmissions from January 1, 2017 December 30, 2017 (mature data). Excludes planned readmissions. Excludes any beneficiary who dies in the hospital or is transferred to another hospital on the same day. Inclusive of all Medicare beneficiaries, regardless of age. 20 10

Why Teach-Back? Numerous studies have shown that patients remember as little as 50% of what they are told by their doctors. 1 Common causes for readmission 50% Lack of patient/family involvement and accountability in their own healthcare Patients/families do not fully understand how to care for themselves at home 23 1.

The 2017 2018 Flu Season in California CA Alameda, Contra Costa, and San Francisco Counties The seasonal baseline was calculated using a regression model applied to data from the previous five years. Two standard deviations above the seasonal baseline is the point at which the observed percentage of ILI is significantly higher than would be expected at that time of year. 25 https://www.cdph.ca.gov/programs/cid/dcdc/cdph%20document %20Library/Immunization/Week2017-1820_FINALReport.pdf Older Adults Are Hit Harder by the Flu Incidence of Influenza Hospitalizations in California Emerging Infections Program (CEIP) Counties, 2015 2018 26 https://www.cdph.ca.gov/programs/cid/dcdc/cdph%20docume nt%20library/immunization/week2017-1820_finalreport.pdf 13

Our Strategy: Teach-Back Health literacy is the cognitive and social skills which determine the motivation and ability of individuals to gain access to, understand, and use information in ways that promote and maintain good health. Teach-back is a way to confirm that you have explained to the patient what they need to know in a manner that the patient understands. Motivational interviewing is a scientific, patientcentered approach for fostering motivation and assisting patients to resolve ambivalence about change. 31 Our Strategy: Teach-Back (cont.) Teach-back is asking patients to repeat in their own words what they need to know or do. It is not a test of the patient, but of how well you explained the concept. It is a chance to check for understanding and, if necessary, re-teach the information. 32 16
Our Strategy: Teach-Back (cont.) 10% of what they read 20% of what they hear 30% of what they see 50% of what they hear and see 70% of what they say or write 90% of what they do 33 Sources: Dale, Edgar.

Engage those that have the highest impact in each community based on volume and return to hospital rates. Schedule and provide teach-back trainings to HHA nurses and other staff members. Goal: Improve patient understanding of immunizations to help prevent avoidable hospital readmissions. 34 17
