7 Consolidated Service Provider - Community Stroke Team Care Coordinators Dedicated Additional training and knowledge of stroke system and resources Stroke Care Coordinator OT (Lead Therapist) SW Stroke Team Dedicated Education and skill requirements: Neuro/stroke rehabilitation PT Rehab Assistants Knowledge of stroke best practices SCA TM SLP RD Best practice assessment tools 7

8 WWCCAC Stroke Pathway Pre-Discharge Weeks 1-2 Weeks 3-4 Weeks 5-8 Weeks 9-12 Discharge Planning Discharge Link Meeting Assessment & Goal Setting Care Coordinator Assessment Case Conference Treatment Treatment CSS linkages Transition & Discharge Case Conference Care Coordinator Reassessment CSS linages Based on the clinical stroke pathway developed by NSM CCAC and adopted by the OACCAC. Based on Canadian Stroke Best Practice Guidelines, and validated by the OSN. Defines expected outcomes and interventions of the Care Coordinator and Therapists; OT typically the lead therapist and attends Discharge Link. Available visits to provide an intensity of therapy (OT, PT, SLP, SW, Nut, Rehab Assistants) that is in keeping with best practice (45 min-3hour visits; 3-5x/week) Patient s progress determines how he/she move through the pathway. Patient transitioned to the next phase of rehabilitation upon completion of the pathway. 8

17 Partners 17

18 Development of HNHB- CSR Brant Haldimand Norfolk Pilot Model Integration of the Community Stroke Rehab Model into the care path of the Integrated Stroke Unit (ISU) Identification of patient s rehabilitation needs in the hospital stay, within hours Strong link with District and/or Regional Stroke Centre s ISU 18

19 Development of HNHB- CSR Brant Haldimand Norfolk Pilot Model Strong link with primary care physician Post discharge interdisciplinary meetings monthly Transferability of model (is the model able to be spread across the HNHB based on the pilot results) Standardized reporting requirements

20 Development of HNHB- CSR Brant Haldimand Norfolk Pilot Model Consistency of Service Provider Stroke Team (80% of care is to be provided by a consistent OT/PT/SLP in the community) Stroke Team Members Expertise (e.g. FIM, MoCA (OT), Neuro Motor Rehab, Supportive conversation for Adults with Aphasia) Dedicated Care Coordination 20

21 Development of HNHB- CSR Brant Haldimand Norfolk Pilot Model Time to first visit within 72 hours following hospital discharge for provider and the Care Coordinator Care pathway into streams (mild, moderate, severe) based on best practice standards: 2-3 outpatient or community based allied health professional visits/week (per required discipline) for 8-12 weeks and incorporates milestones and opportunities for reassessment

22 Eligibility Persons post stroke will be triaged into two CSR program Outpatient clinic based therapy Outreach home based therapy (CCAC) Eligibility for in home therapy will be based on the following criteria: Live beyond a 30 minute drive of a specialized clinic based OP stroke rehab program (BCHS) Do not have the tolerance to travel 30 minutes to an OP program and participate in therapy 22

23 Care Coordination - Value for the Patient Dedicated Community Care Coordination Assessment in patients home within 72 hours of CCAC admission Additional training for Care Coordinator (Hemispheres training, Aphasia) Standardized assessment tool (interrai-ca, RAI-HC) Link patients to community programs (Health Care Connect to find a physician) Referral to other agencies (Adult Day Program, supportive groups in community, other rehab in the community) Connection with service providers (post discharge meeting monthly, updates) Care Coordinator housed in office to address urgent patient calls Assistance with transitioning to alternate levels of care (RHs, LTCHs) Coordinates post discharge stroke team meetings monthly 23

24 Community Stroke Rehabilitation Pilot Model Metric Results from December 2013-June 2014 (Data Source: HNHB CCAC CHRIS) 24

25 Community Stroke Rehabilitation Pilot Model Stream & Services # Patients Visits Avg. Visits per Person PT Visits Mild Moderate Severe OT Visits Mild Moderate Severe SLP Visits Mild Moderate Severe Average visits per person were highest in the Severe stream for PT and OT. Average visits per person for SLP were higher in the Mild stream and highest in the Moderate stream 25

26 Community Stroke Rehabilitation Pilot Model Services # Patients # Patients Received PT Services 10 Total PT Visits 129 Average PT Visits per Person # Patients Received OT Services 11 Total OT Visits 151 Average OT Visits per Person The number of visits and average visits per person were highest for SLP, followed by OT and lastly PT # Patients Received SLP Services 9 Total SLP Visits 160 Average SLP Visits per Person

27 Community Stroke Rehabilitation Pilot Model Goal Met 80% Consistency in Service Delivery Patient Discharged to a Community Program Stream # Patients Yes No Yes No Yes No Mild Moderate Severe Total 11 72% (8 out of 11) patients met their program goals; 3 patients went to hospital 10 out of 11 of patients had 80% consistency in service delivery All patients were discharged to a community program

28 Community Stroke Rehabilitation Pilot Model DRS (Depression Rating Scale) # At Admission # At 3 Months DRS DRS DRS From admission to 3 months DRS Score remained the same for 6 patients; improved for 4 patients; worsened for 1 patient DRS DRS

29 Community Stroke Rehabilitation Pilot Model RNLI (Reintegration to Normal Living Index) Score # Patients Avg. RNL1 Initial # Patients Avg. RNL1 Discharge Mild Moderate Severe Used to evaluate degree to which a patient is able to return to normal life. Higher scores represent better perceived integration (up to a max of 100) Scores From Initial to Discharge Mild Increased by 24% Moderate Increased by 31% Severe Increased by 31% 29

30 Community Stroke Rehabilitation Pilot Model FIM (Functional Independence measure) Scores Number of Patients Avg. FIM at Admit Number of Patients Avg. FIM at Discharge Mild Moderate Severe Measures level of disability and indicates how much assistance is required to carry out activities of daily living. Higher scores represent increased independence (up to a max of 126) Scores From Admit to Discharge Mild - Increased by 9% Moderate Increased by 30% Severe Increased by 19% 30

31 Community Stroke Rehabilitation Pilot Model All 11 of the patients received a Inter-RAI CA on admission, a RAI-HC within 72 hours and at 3 months, from a CCAC Care Coordinator 100% of patients had a RAI-HC completed at admission and at 3 months 31

32 Background Community Stroke Rehabilitation Pilot Model Patients were called at the 3 month mark to determine their level of satisfaction with how the team has been supporting them post hospitalization. 6 of the 12 patients (March- June) agreed to provide feedback. (Non- participants included, language barrier, unavailable, did not want to participate) Patients or Caregivers were approached (4 caregivers, 2 patients) Preliminary Results Overall, how satisfied were you with the help you or your loved one received from the team? 100% of respondents indicated they were Satisfied or Very Satisfied. The team members and I decided together what would help me. 33% strongly agreed they felt included in deciding together what would help them 50% neither agreed or disagreed: Comments: The plan was outlined for us. 17% strongly disagreed Comments: The amount of service in the beginning was overwhelming My therapy program was explained to me in a way that I could understand. 83% either strongly agreed or agreed 17% strongly disagreed The team helped me adjust to my life after stroke. 83% either strongly agreed or agreed 17% disagreed Comment I am not sure we will ever adjust Would you recommend this team to another family member of friend needing this type or assistance? 83% Yes 17% Maybe

33 Community Stroke Rehabilitation Pilot Model Survey Comment We were not expecting all of the care that we received from the CCAC. Myself and my sister are very busy and appreciative of all the support for my mom

34 Community Stroke Rehabilitation Pilot Model In summary, this CSR model provides seamless transition through a standardized care path that details the patient s journey from ER to community. The model facilitates collaboration between Hospital and community supporting patients to work on their Rehab goals in a home setting. Thank you! 34

35 David Ure, OT Reg. (Ont.), CPA, CMA

36 Development of the model In response to the request for proposal issued by the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care in September 2001, the Southwestern Ontario Region submitted a pilot project titled: A Regional Stroke Rehabilitation System: From Vision to Reality

37 Development of the model This Outreach Service was effective in meeting the needs of service providers in the region and the clients/families they serve. This is demonstrated by the demand for the service, high levels of satisfaction by the requesters and the improvement in knowledge self-rating by the participants. Pilot report submitted to the MOH December 2004 Permanent funding received for 2009 launch

38 Development of the model Designed to offer rehabilitation in the community for stroke survivors with on-going rehabilitation needs Mandate 1. Provide rehabilitation in the most appropriate setting (home and community) 2. Offer secondary prevention, system navigation and community re-integration 3. Provide caregiver support
