1 Measuring and Benchmarking Quality for Rehabilitation Care EQUADR SM and the changing landscape of postacute outcomes
2 A brief history Quality outcomes measurement, reporting, and benchmarking in rehabilitation has lagged behind the acute care hospital sector Historically, rehab only had acute care to benchmark against What is a good fall rate in rehab? Inpatient Rehabilitation Facilities (IRFs) exempted from mandatory HAC reporting and payment penalties Traditional measures of quality in rehab: functional gains and discharge destination Higher acuity = greater risks
3 What is EQUADR SM? Exchanged Quality Data for Rehabilitation Founded by Carolinas Rehabilitation in 2009 Network of inpatient rehabilitation facilities who report their quarterly quality outcomes data to a central database Data from all participating facilities is pooled, with the resulting averages, ranges, and high and lows reported back to the participants Quarterly conference calls are held after the aggregate data is released, in order to share best practices and discuss challenges
4 About Carolinas Rehabilitation Part of Carolinas HealthCare System - Comprised of 33 owned, leased or managed hospitals throughout North and South Carolina. CHS is the second largest not-for-profit public hospital system in the US. Operate 182 IRH/U beds in the Charlotte area CARF accredited in 16 programs - SCI, BI, CVA, CIIRP, Pediatrics Three CARF surveyors on staff Teaching and research center - 22 PM&R faculty, 12 PM&R Residents Brain injury model system of care
5 Impetus for Change How can we move forward if we don t know where we are? Legislative and financial changes IRFs must begin reporting of two quality measures to CMS FY 2013 (Oct. 1, 2012): Pressure Ulcers and Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infections A third measure related to readmissions is in development Initially will be pay for reporting financial penalties for not reporting, and data will be made public Will transition to pay for performance - by January 1, 2016, pilot testing for value-based purchasing programs for IRFs will begin Desire to be the best!
6 Rehab is different! Outcomes are going to be different based on position within the continuum of care and patient population Length of stay variations from both acute care and SNF Treatment and purpose of hospitalization differences Indicators for EQUADR SM are chosen based on the needs of participants (rehab hospitals), regulatory requirements, and evidence-based practice
7 Current Measures Code Blue and RRT Calls Restraint Usage Healthcare-associated Conditions Unassisted Falls Pressure Ulcers (matches CMS measure) Venous Thromboembolism (DVT/PE) Healthcare-associated Infections (CDC/NHSN definitions) MRSA C-diff CAUTI
8 What is a PSO? Patient Safety Organization Created by the Patient Safety Act to encourage the expansion of voluntary, provider-driven initiatives to improve the quality and safety of healthcare; to promote rapid learning about the underlying causes of risks and harms in the delivery of healthcare; and to share those findings widely, thus speeding the pace of improvement The mission and primary activity of the PSO must be to conduct activities that are to improve patient safety and the quality of health care delivery Key concepts: PROTECTION and AGGREGATION Expected Results: Comparative Reports, New Knowledge, Collaborative Learning
9 Requirements of a PSO Efforts to improve patient safety and the quality of health care delivery The collection and analysis of patient safety work product (PSWP) The development and dissemination of information regarding patient safety, such as recommendations, protocols, or information regarding best practices The utilization of PSWP for the purposes of encouraging a culture of safety as well as providing feedback and assistance to effectively minimize patient risk The maintenance of procedures to preserve confidentiality with respect to PSWP The provision of appropriate security measures with respect to PSWP The utilization of qualified staff Activities related to the operation of a patient safety evaluation system and to the provision of feedback to participants in a patient safety evaluation system
10 Why operate EQUADR SM through a PSO? Identified need to preserve confidentiality Communications with PSOs are protected Patient Safety Rule protections enable PSOs to work with multiple providers Federal protection of data submitted, generated, and disseminated by the PSO Strong government and regulatory encouragement to join a PSO Currently the only PSO specifically targeted to rehabilitation Mission and vision of EQUADR SM closely mirrors the AHRQ vision for PSOs
11 AHRQ s Long Term Goal For PSOs
12 Rate per 1000 patient days Unassisted Falls Average High Low 0.00
13 Value of Sharing Drive quality improvement and patient safety initiatives across the industry Network and share best practices with other rehabilitation hospitals 8 webinar/conference calls annually Preparation for upcoming regulatory requirements Justifies the importance and uniqueness of inpatient rehabilitation in the care continuum Provides a safety zone to discuss sensitive issues such as falls and restraint use Sense of community We re not alone!
14 Challenges and Opportunities All participation is voluntary and non-exclusive - facility will be offered the opportunity to participate Participation does require adherence to the confidentiality and privilege provisions of the Patient Safety Act Final Rule Balance of confidentiality and transparency Decision as to how to implement or integrate results into operations is up to each facility
