2 2 Overall Summary of all Program Patients: Trends: Program patient census has increased from 2012 of 21 patients total to 91 persons served as a company. At the Village, in 2013, 17 patients were served in a return to work program. For Source One in 2013, 74 persons were served in a return to work program. 102 individuals completed the Work Hardening and Work Conditioning programs in This remains a focus for facility viability and stability. o 75% of those served in return to work programming were involved in work conditioning or work hardening programming. o 70% of the persons served were in return to work programming attended less than 8 hours per day. Increased program flexibility has allowed for us to serve more patients this year. We have seen an increase in patients who worked simultaneously with attending a work program and attended less than 5 days per week. Patient Satisfaction: Patients and their families reported an average score of 1.20, indicating overall excellent satisfaction with the programs on the surveys. Scores have been maintained in the excellent category since (1=Excellent; 2=Good; 3=Fair; 4=Poor) Completion of the Program: In 2013, at the Village, there were 17 persons served. For work conditioning and work hardening, 85% completed their program as recommended. For chronic pain and brain injury programming at the Village, neither patient completed the program. For 2013, for Source One, 95.37% completed the recommended program as compared to 70% in For both programs combined, 90% of those served completed the recommended programs. Durability of Outcomes: For 2013, work conditioning and work hardening in both programs, 54.5% of the patients continued to improve post discharge as demonstrated by the increase in percentage of patients who returned to work modified or full duty, 3 months after discharge. Number of visits as compared to time to complete the program for work conditioning, work hardening and brain injury program patients. Overall average was for both facilities combined, which met goal set of 18 day difference including weekends. This also includes patients who attend three days per week. This is one measure to look at efficiency with the least amount of lag time for approvals, patient absences, ect required to complete the program. Continuum of Care: 45% of those served in both programs combined, transitioned from traditional therapy to return to work programming; 55% of the patients seen in return to work programming were from outside sources. Trends requiring action plans or continued surveillance: Average length of stay for 2013 overall average for both facilities was 16 days. For 2012, average length of stay was 16 days for all programs combined. Average length of stay for 2011 was for Work Hardening, Conditioning and Chronic Pain Programs combined. There is a growing trend for physicians to perceive work conditioning programs as means to extend therapy beyond the ODG guidelines. For example, in theory, all treatment such as injections should be completed prior to beginning a return to work program. There have been instances where the treating physician has waited to do the injections until the program has been completed, then requested additional therapy post the injections, despite treatment team recommendations to do them early on in the course of the program. Preferably, a patient would be placed on hold, have the procedure and return to the program to complete their program and successfully return to work. Access to services as measured by length of time from referral to admission (number of days from referral to admission)

3 Village Source 1 Total Overall Return to work: In 2013, 57.75% of the WH/WC persons served returned to work, school or a vocational counselor was involved for both facilities combined. As compared to 2012 where 66.5% of the same population returned to work in either a modified or full time capacity. For 2011, persons served who completed the WH/WC programs. 76% returned to work, school or a vocational counselor was involved. Overall, 38% of the persons served attended modified programs in 2013, whereas 17.5% participated in modified programming in This is a reflection of the staff s willingness to balance the needs of the stakeholders. There has been an increasing demand on flexibility for the clinicians to balance funding source demands as compared to the persons served and ultimately successful return to work. For example 70% of the patients served attended less than 8 hours per day. Many attended 3 days per week as well. This impacts many factors such as efficiency, length of stay and program satisfaction. Behavioral Programming: For Chronic Pain programming, reduction of pain medications, reported pain levels at discharge, perceived levels of depression and anxiety are areas for improvement. Education of patients regarding their perception and/or misperception of pain levels, depression and anxiety are paramount to the success of the Chronic pain program. Their ability to self-manage pain and lead a more normal life outside of therapy and the medical model are crucial components of the program. Dr. Gant has taken a more active role in the training of the behavioral staff. We have also changed medical directorship to Dr. Michael Ellman. New measures were put in place, plan to continue to analyze outcomes and data for program improvement. For example, are the FABQ, Beck inventories and CIQ the measures we want to continue to use to measure clinical outcomes? The FABQ was discontinued as an outcome measure. Latency of intervention, date of injury to admission, overall average was in 2012, in 2013 for both facilities combined. Earlier intervention is critical to successful return to work and durability of outcomes.
