1 Beacon Leadership Team (BLT) Wrap Week # 101 June 14, 2013 Exciting news from NC Community Care Network s Informatics Center Care alerts that use laboratory results to monitor level of glucose and LDL cholesterol control in diabetes and LDL cholesterol control in ischemic vascular disease (IVD) will go live this week for 1.2 million Medicaid beneficiaries (if they have had the relevant laboratory tests completed within the past year). Below is a screenshot of how they are formatted. Now the care managers and providers can work with their patients to either get these tests done or help them improve their test results. Exciting! Congratulations to the team!
2 We also have more exciting news to share.this week s BLT will focus on the status of our Beacon funded projects and sustainability plans as they are known to us today Healthcare Systems At Carolinas Medical Center-NorthEast (Cabarrus County), Beacon provided funding for several innovative projects: Patient Safety Net, Transitional Care, with a focus on COPD and embedded care managers, social workers, and pharmacists, Virtual Care monitoring for diabetes, a data connection with Community Care of North Carolina s (CCNC s) Informatics Center, and a SuperConnector or Continuity of Care Document (CCD). The Patient Safety Net pilot is operational in seven units at CMC-NE with utilization rates between 73%- 90%. A one year pilot for the pulse oximetry portion will be re-submitted to the Institutional Review Board (IRB) soon. Transitional Care The Nurse Care Managers touched 1,044 unique patients and the Emergency Care Center Care Managers touched 2,271 unique patients. The embedded care managers are not able to be sustained at this time, but CMC-NE hopes to be able to fund them in the future. One social worker will be sustained. COPD Pilot - 4,441 people have been screened for COPD to date and 25% have been identified as high risk for COPD. Out of a total of 1,113 high-risk patients, 453 Respiratory Therapist (RT) phone assessments have been completed (41%) and 171 RT Medical Home Visits were completed (15%). CMC-NE has seen a 25% reduction in hospital COPD readmissions since the implementation of this project. Analysis has started for evaluating the sustainability of the Respiratory Therapists; the COPD Care Manager position will end in June. Virtual Care - The Virtual Care Home diabetes monitoring project is progressing well. The pilot will determine if video-enhanced telemedicine devices (ipads) coupled with remote biometric monitoring can increase access to patient-centered medical homes, enhance the capturing of data and improve outcomes. The enrollment is complete at 120 patients, the total FaceTime virtual visits are 167, and interim data shows A1C improvement. Cabarrus Family Medicine Kannapolis and Concord released Veronica s Story, a story that shares how their Virtual Care project for monitoring diabetes helps Veronica cope and successfully manage her condition. Please click the link here Data Connection with CCNC s Informatics Center (IC) This project will allow alerts for gaps in care to be placed into CCNC s Case Management Information System (CMIS) and the Provider Portal for providers to act upon with their patients. The data connection is live and the IC is now receiving messages for Medicaid patients from 13 of 22 available data sources. This connection is from Carolinas Healthcare System (CHS) to the IC through a Medicity VPN connection. SuperConnector (CCD) phase 2 of the IC data connection project is near completion. At Novant Health Rowan Medical Center (NHRMC) (Rowan County), Beacon provided funding for several innovative projects: Transitional Care, including evaluating readmissions and care coordination, chronic disease management of diabetes and congestive heart failure (CHF), Medication Optimization, Project RED/Louise, Urgent Care/Community Care Clinic, a data connection with Community Care of North Carolina s (CCNC s) Informatics Center (IC), and a SuperConnector or Continuity of Care Document (CCD).
3 The transitional care team has determined via root cause analysis (RCA) administered on 30 day readmissions, that approximately 32% of those patients come from Skilled Nursing Facilities (SNF) or Assisted Living Facilities (ALF) and that 57% of all readmits are unplanned but related to the previous discharge. Preliminary results for patients readmitted for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI), and Pneumonia (PNA) followed by the post-discharge nurse care manager are favorable and the position is being evaluated for sustainability. The ED behavioral health social worker and medical social worker positions are also being evaluated for sustainability. Disease Management (Diabetes and Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) - The diabetes educator position will be sustained post- Beacon and renamed as a Clinical Navigator. She will continue to monitor screening AIC levels for all patients as well as educate patients who have an elevated AIC. The Navigator will also work with patients who have Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) and the hospital is working to staff the Heart Failure Clinic with a Nurse Practitioner (NP) from a neighboring hospital. In the Medication Optimization Program the two Medicine Reconciliation Assistants (MRAs) will be sustained post-beacon. This program has been very successful in identifying the duplication of medications, reducing medicine-related errors, educating patients about medicines, and suggesting lower cost alternatives, when appropriate. NHRMC has also implemented a Meds to Home program to help patients by providing a 30 day supply of medications before they leave the hospital and that program is also going very well. Project RED/Louise -the hospital is implementing several of the 11 components of the Reengineered Discharge Process (RED) and has completed the pilot for Louise as a virtual discharge advocate and virtual health coach. Louise will be discontinued as a virtual discharge advocate and continued as a virtual health coach for CHF in the inpatient and outpatient setting. Urgent Care /Community Care Clinic in this project, patients can be followed up at a local Urgent Care Clinic or a Community Care Clinic in an effort to help reduce inappropriate ED visits and reduce health costs. The hospital is piloting this as an effort to also help establish a non-insured patient with a primary care provider when appropriate. Data connection with Community Care of North Carolina s (CCNC s) Informatics Center (IC) The Admission, Transfer, Discharge (ADT) feed is complete and data is shared for Medicaid patients from NHRMC to the IC. SuperConnector or Continuity of Care Document (CCD) project is complete. This project will allow alerts for gaps in care to be placed into CCNC s Case Management Information System (CMIS) and the Provider Portal for providers to act upon with their patients. At Stanly Regional Medical Center (SRMC) (Stanly County), Beacon provided funding for several innovative projects: Transitional Care, including embedded care managers and social workers in the ED, chronic disease management of COPD, a Transitional Care Discharge Clinic, a data connection with Community Care of North Carolina s (CCNC s) Informatics Center (IC), and a SuperConnector or Continuity of Care Document (CCD). The transitional care department has been actively managing transitions of patients and continuing to assist in workflow process improvements from the hospital and from the ED, to the home, and for follow-up in the primary care provider s offices. SRMC will sustain one of the case managers by combining the office supervisory and care manager clinical role and an ED social worker will also be sustained. The other roles are being evaluated for sustainability. COPD - educational materials are complete and new educational programs have been implemented. Transitional Care Discharge Clinic will be sustained and they are determining any necessary process changes. Data connection with Community Care of North Carolina s (CCNC s) Informatics Center (IC), and a SuperConnector or Continuity of Care Document (CCD) - this project includes both the ADT and CCD data. The work will be phased to start with the ADT, then CCD. The clinics will be phased as well, based upon their EMR system. Data analysis is underway. This project will allow alerts for gaps in care to be placed into CCNC s Case Management Information System (CMIS) and the Provider Portal for providers to act upon with their patients.
4 Health Departments/ Health Alliance Rowan County Health Department (RCHD) They are continuing to scan and archive their paper records and they hope to be finished by the end of the summer. RCHD will be implementing electronic signatures, e- prescribing, and additional modules to their EMR over the next several months (Pre-natal and Maternal Health). Stanly County Health Department (SCHD) Maternal Health and Family Planning Modules went live in Quarter 1. The next modules to go-live are Adult Health and Breast/Cervical Cancer. SCHD plans to implement e-prescribing and the Child Health module later in the year. Cabarrus Health Alliance (CHA) - CHA has completed the pharmacy and e-prescribing modules, and all providers are e-prescribing. Family Planning and Maternal Health went live this quarter and the security risk assessment was completed. CHA is also working on an interface between labs and their EMR and connecting with CareConnect Carolinas. The Daily Disease Reporting (DDR) project at CHA is also progressing. The DDR is a public health surveillance tool that relies on school nurses to capture symptom data for children in Cabarrus County schools. The project team redesigned the data collection tool and workflow, and provider reports based on a provider acceptability evaluation survey. CHA providers will test the mock reports and after final versions are complete, reports will be available to public health departments, providers, parents, and schools. In addition to the individual projects at both Rowan and Stanly County Health Departments and the Cabarrus Health Alliance, they have implemented the following projects: An Automated Health Educator, Anna, and the NC- Health Information Portal (NC-HIP). Anna is an automated health educator who educates clients in Women and Infant Children (WIC). WIC 101 is fully rolled out in each health department. Eventually, Anna will be available on the web. RTI (on behalf of the CDC) completed a site visit to evaluate the project and was very complimentary and a report will be forthcoming. Anna will also be highlighted in an upcoming Case Study that RTI is also producing. Lastly, for continued growth and sustainability, the Anna project team also applied for additional funding by the Department of Agriculture and Baylor School of Medicine for the development of a nutrition and breastfeeding module. The team has also been gathering materials for a family planning script. NC-HIP is designed to graphically geo-locate information from health and demographic databases to help identify trends and aid in the targeting and development of interventions to prevent chronic diseases. Analysis is underway to align the data with the new public health agency accreditation standard and the transfer of the portal files to the CCNC servers is complete. To view the public version of the site: Beacon Central Projects Meaningful Use The (SPBC) has continued to partner with state and local Area Health Education Center Regional Extension Centers (AHEC RECs), CCNC, NC Medicaid, as well
5 as with the three health systems and individual providers in the catchment to encourage and assist eligible providers in attesting for Meaningful Use. We are also encouraging practices to implement electronic health records, if they have not done so already. The focus this quarter has been on encouraging those providers who attested for Adopt, Implement, and Upgrade (AIU) for NC Medicaid to move to the next step and attest for Meaningful Use as soon as possible. Pharmacy Support - Beacon is funding full-time and part-time pharmacists to provide pharmacy reviews. A Behavioral Health pharmacist is providing medication management to support Beacon initiatives and the pharmacist(s) in each county work with patients on Transitional of Care initiatives, adherence issues, the TREO report, via physician referral, and Case Management referrals. They also continue to identify and make interventions on patients who have gaps in filling their prescription medications. The table below shows the number of medication reviews and patients identified by location to date: Med Review Patients Identified % Concord NEPN % PBH (Cardinal Inn.) % Rowan % Stanly % CCNC IT-enabled Care Management - Beacon funding has helped fund the creation of a Patient Registry. The concept will support both registry type functions and other reporting by becoming a collecting point of inferenced data, i.e., data upon which additional meaning has been added through some Clinical Decision Support (CDS) process. The prototype is complete. In addition, Beacon funding is helping to upgrade the documenting application and devices that the CCNC and Beacon Case Managers use (the Case Management Information System (CMIS)) and a CMIS/Tablet. The tablet is a device that the nurses can carry into patients homes to complete their documentation and the pilot is scheduled to begin in June. Meaningful Use (MU) Update If you are a provider who has attested for a NC Medicaid under AIU (Adopt, Implement, and Upgrade) in 2011 or 2012, please assess whether you are now ready to attest for Meaningful Use, and if so, please do! Meaningfully using your electronic medical record will benefit both you and your patients and help to achieve the triple aim of better health, better care, at lower cost!
