2 Middletown Park Rehabilitation & HCC 230-Bed Skilled Nursing Facility Middletown, NY (Orange County) Approx. 72 miles NW of Manhattan 4 - LTC Units 1 - Dementia Unit 1-40-Bed Sub Acute Rehabilitation Unit 4 Orange Regional Medical Center 374 Bed Acute Care Regional Hospital State-of-the-art hospital combines high-tech healthcare with a patientcentered approach utilizing innovations such as wireless technology, electronic health records and the latest in diagnostic and lifesaving equipment Mission Statement Improve the health of our community by providing exceptional healthcare. Vision Statement We are caring professionals driven by standards of excellence who go above and beyond to provide an exceptional patient care experience. 5 Readmissions - a National Priority! Readmissions- an important indicator of quality care Traumatic to the Resident/Patient Often result in Polypharmacy Increase risk of deconditioning and infection while in the hospital Account for billions of dollars in annual Medicare Spending Targeted by Legislators and Policymakers to reduce healthcare costs & improve quality and patient outcomes The Affordable Care Act Penalties to facilities with high rates of readmission Health Care Reform: Triple Aim Improving Care, Improving Health, Making care Affordable 2014 NYS Quality Pool (Potential Avoidable Hospitalizations: 20 Pts) 6 2
3 Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program Almost one of five hospitalized Medicare beneficiaries are readmitted within 30 days; more than one-third are readmitted within 90 days. Research suggests that a substantial proportion of readmissions can be prevented with evidence-based care in the hospital combined with comprehensive discharge planning, supportive transitions in care, and timely primary care. With reduced readmissions, experts estimate the nation can save $12 billion annually in the Medicare program alone. Medicare Payment Advisory Commission, Payment Policy for Inpatient Readmissions, in Report to the Congress: Promoting Greater Efficiency in Medicare (Washington, D.C.: MedPAC, June 2010). 7 How Well Does NYS Compare? New York s Place: 2010: 4 th Quintile! 8 NYS Re-hospitalization Rate All SNF (2011 Q Q3) NYS 2011 Q4 Baseline= 18.4% NYS 2013 Q3= 17.7% -NYSHFA,
4 Factors & Incentives that Influence the Decision to Hospitalize a LTC Patient Medicare Reimbursement Policies for Hospitals, Nursing Homes, HHA s & Physicians Concerns about Legal Liability & Regulatory Sanctions for Attempting to Manage Acute Illnesses in a Non Hospital Setting Resident & Family Preferences HOSPITALIZATION Emergency Dept (ED) Time Pressures & Availability of Care Options After ED Discharge Availability of Individual Patient Advance Care Plans and Physician Orders for Palliative or Hospice Care Availability of Diagnostic & Pharmacy Services in Home & LTC Settings Clinical Competencies Maslow, K and, Ouslander, JG: Measurement of Potentially Preventable Hospitalizations. White Paper prepared for the 10 Long Term Quality Alliance, Measuring and reporting readmission rates will create incentives for hospitals and health systems to: Evaluate the entire spectrum of care that they and their affiliated providers furnish to patients Identify systemic or condition-specific changes that will make care safer and more effective Invest in interventions that reduce complications of care Better assess the readiness of patients for discharge Improve discharge instructions Reconcile medications More carefully transition patients to outpatient care, Post Acute Rehabilitation, or other institutional care settings 11 What Are Some Contributing Factors to 30-Day Readmissions: Ineffective communication/patient handoffs and/or coordination of care at the point of discharge/transfer from the SNF to the Hospital Lack of educational competencies and opportunities for learning and modeling best practices Lack of appropriate end of life care planning (end stage diseases i.e. Dementia, CHF, Renal, ) The Nursing Home/Hospital Fallacy Lack of timely post-discharge physician visit; Primary care physician unaware of hospitalization; Patient has no transportation; Patient has no primary care physician 12 4

Improving Transitions provides opportunity to lower total cost of care 32 Keys to successful implementation: Prepare for change Select a champion Involve staff at all levels Talk it up Pilot on one unit The Power of One Integrate into your QAPI program/organizational culture 33 11
