3 NYS PARTNERSHIP FOR PATIENTS Review of Pilot Objectives o o o Phase 1 Admission o o Identify patients on admission who are at risk for readmission using an any risk approach. Assemble a multidisciplinary team to address interventions that will mitigate risks for readmission. Phase 2 Hospital Stay o o o Prepare patient and caregiver for discharge, beginning at admission. Conduct ongoing patient reassessment to identify new or changing risk factors. Ensure systems for multidisciplinary communication, coordination, planning, and evaluation. Phase 3 - Discharge o o Ensure patient and family/caregiver are fully prepared for post hospital care. Provide timely and thorough communication to post hospital providers.

28 Readmissions are not primarily about people being re-hospitalized because of mistakes made in the hospital. Reducing readmissions is about making transitions of care more effectively. When transitions of care are not done well,.. evidence suggests they wind up back in the hospital. Summary: What are Readmissions

30 Prevention of Readmissions

31 What we were doing Multidisciplinary daily rounds. Physical therapy, casemanagement, nursing, attending physician, pharmacy and third year resident discuss discharge barriers and patient condition. As an organization we recognized that our readmission rates proved an area of opportunity.

32 How we were doing All Cause 30-Day Readmissions to Same Facility Green, Orange & Red Hospitalist Attending at Discharge Initial Encounters Discharged 1/1/13-3/31/14, Readmissions through 4/30/14 - data shown by initial discharge date

33 Making the change Agreed to participate in NYSPFP Preventable Readmissions pilot program. Developed the initial committee to discuss implementation. Team consists of physicians, nursing, nutrition, pharmacy, physical therapy, performance improvement team member, director of medical surgical nursing, social work, and case management.

34 Making the change It was crucial to have nurse buy-in. Maria Stala Sacco from NYSPFP initially met with the nursing staff discuss the pilot and to explore the feelings of this group. Nurses identified early on that there were key indicators that were present on admission that could impact readmission. Agree that focus would need to be on early intervention Utilizing the input from the nursing staff, the committee developed a plan for implementation.

35

36 Perceived Barriers The nursing staff identified several potential barriers. Implementation of the new EMR (EPIC) network wide during the same time frame as the pilot. Staffing ratios. Patient acuity. Nurse work load.

37 Making the change Phase 1 We selected to utilize the NYSPFP Readmission Any Risk Assessment tool at the time of admission to identify potential readmission risks. We placed a flowchart and a breakdown of identified risks with possible interventions as a reference for the health care team. In addition this guide listed the drivers of specific interventions according to their scope of practice.

40 Implementation of risk identification tool Nursing was initially slow to incorporate the tool into their admission process workflow. They gradually adapted their routine to include the tool just as the EPIC EMR was launched. EPIC implementation started, which required all staff to focus on the EMR. To keep the pilot going each unit educator took responsibility of the process while nursing focused on EPIC. Now that EPIC has been assimilated into the nurse workflow, we are reengaging the nursing staff to utilize the readmission risk tool during the admission process.

41 Phase I Recap The initial plan was to have nursing drive the risk tool. There was a need based on competing priorities to incorporate other resources to support Pilot. Prior to the implementation of EPIC the majority of nursing staff identified readmission risks per the admission process these aligned with what we were seeing in early audits; medications and psychosocial barriers. Referrals for specialties were made by the nurse at the time of admission and on identification of specific risks. Weekends and nights referrals were delayed. Identified that a risk assessment tool is built in new electronic medical record system for case management. Plan is to expand the tool, create automatic referrals when physician order is not required and make it risk assessment score available to all disciplines.

42 Phase II: Teach-Back A teaching action plan was developed to implement the Teach-Back method for all disciplines. Reviewed NYSPFP website and current literature for teach back information. A power point was developed for use by all disciplines to educate on the Teach-Back method. Utilized video s displaying correct and incorrect forms on teach-back. Developed education plans for nursing, pharmacy, residents and Physical Medical rehabilitation. Audit teach-back method at the bedside with immediate coaching if needed.

43

44 Next Steps The committee continues to meet to review the process and to identify areas of opportunity for improvement and sustainability. Work with Business Analysis unit to review readmission data and drill down on opportunities. Implement a more robust pharmacy consult process. Implement Phase III- Evaluate and Refine discharge process including current use of D/C phone-calls. The committee will develop strategies for hospital wide implementation.
