27 Amanda Avalos, MPA Washington State Health Care Authority Emergency Department Medicaid Utilization 7 Best Practices 27

28 Timeline July 2011, legislature passed a 3 annual ER visit limit for Medicaid clients November 2011, Superior Court Judge halted implementation April 2012, legislature required WA hospitals to implement 7 best practices July 2012, 7 best practices (ER is for Emergencies) began Third Engrossed Substitute House Bill 2127: Washington hospitals were required to implement 7 best practices aimed at reducing unnecessary emergency department use by Medicaid clients

29 Partnership Collaboration Washington State Medical Association Washington State Hospital Association Washington State Health Care Authority Washington Chapter of the American College of Emergency Physicians Medicaid Health Plans Washington Collective Fire Chiefs Medical East Technologies Pierce Fire EDIE and Rescue

30 Seven Best Practices 1) Electronic Health Information Goal: Exchange patient information among Emergency Departments Identify frequent ER visitors Improve care coordination All hospitals can access treatment plans Hospitals are using the EDIE system 30

31 Seven Best Practices 2) Patient Education Goal: Help patients understand and use appropriate sources of care Active distribution of educational materials by hospitals Discharge instructions 31

32 Seven Best Practices 3) Patients Requiring Coordination (PRC) Goal: Ensure hospitals know when they are treating a PRC patient and assist accordingly PRC clients = frequent ER users, often narcotic seekers Hospitals identify patients on arrival Develop and coordinate case management programs 32

33 Seven Best Practices 4) PRC Client Care Plans Goal: Assist PRC clients with their care plans Contact the primary care provider when PRC client visits the ER Efforts to make an appointment with the primary care provider within 72 hours when appropriate Relay barriers to care to Health Care Authority 33

34 Seven Best Practices 5) Adhere to Opioid Guidelines Goal: Reduce drug-seeking and inappropriate drug-dispensing Prohibiting long-acting opioids and discourage injections Screening patients for substance abuse Referring patients suspected of Rx abuse to treatment 34

35 Seven Best Practices 6) Prescription Monitoring Program Goal: Ensure coordination of prescription drug prescribing practices Enroll ER providers in Prescription Monitoring Program (PMP): electronic online database with data on patients prescribed controlled substances Target enrollment for ER providers : 90% 35

36 Seven Best Practices G) Feedback Reports Goal: Hospitals review their Medicaid data, ensure interventions are working Monthly reports provided from Health Care Authority to hospitals Includes both utilization and prescription drug data 36

37 Keys to Success Strong partnerships Standard policies in every hospital; No patient shopping for a different physician Safe Table Learning Collaborative to share best practices Measurable, with achievable benchmark Friendly competition towards a shared goal

38 Results Rate of ER visits declined by 9.9% Rate of visits resulting in a scheduled drug prescription down by 24% 38

39 Rate of visits with low acuity diagnosis down by 14%. Results Rate of frequent clients* decreased by 10.7% *5 visits or more in 12 months Rate of ER visits declined by 9.9% Rate of visits resulting in a scheduled drug prescription down by 24% 39

40 Post- Medicaid expansion 40

41 98 of 98 hospitals participating in ER is for Emergencies Electronic care plans shared for >33,500 clients- not just Medicaid Care managers arranging follow up in most facilities Instant notification to PCPs 41

42 Where We Are Today Moving Forward Too many systems! Integrate info into EHRs across the care continuum Prescription Drug Monitoring Program enhancements Broaden the collaboration: Primary care, Payers, behavioral health, fire/ambulance Medicaid Expansion: Adapt to changing landscape 42
