1 Speaker Disclosures Care Transitions Interventions: The Sussex County Transitional Care Program Dr. Wang has disclosed that he has no relevant financial relationship(s). George C. Wang, MD, PhD Medical Director, Sussex County Transitional Care Program Director, Center of Excellence in Geriatric Medicine, Newton Medical Center Assistant Professor of Medicine, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine Learning Objectives By the end of the session, participants will be able to: Define and express the rationale for transitional care Recall the goals of the Partnership for Patients initiative Recognize different models of transitional care Identify common strategies for reducing avoidable hospital readmissions Transitional Care: Rationale New Jersey 30-day hospital readmission rates (Jan Jun 2013)*: All settings: 19.53% Discharged to SNF: 23.11% Discharged to Rehab: 19.99% Discharged to home without home health care: 16.91% Discharged to home with home health care: 21.60% Hospice patients: 2.52% Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA): improved care coordination and outcomes for hospitalized patients a major goal to reduce fragmentation of care and Medicare cost *Data source: HQSI, the Medicare Quality Improvement Organization for New Jersey, under contract with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Outline Transitional care: rational Models of transitional care Sussex County Transitional Care Program (SC-TCP): a model of public-private partnership Main partners in the SC-TCP SC-TCP Interventions Outcomes data In New Jersey, which of the following care settings has the highest rate of 30-day hospital readmission? A. Rehab B. SNF C. Home without home health care D. Home with home health care E. Hospice 1

2 Transitional Care: Rationale New Jersey readmission rates (Jan Jun 2013)*: All settings: 19.53% Discharged to SNF: 23.11% Discharged to Rehab: 19.99% Discharged to home without home health care: 16.91% Discharged to home with home health care: 21.60% Hospice patients: 2.52% Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA): improved care coordination and outcomes for hospitalized patients a major goal to reduce fragmentation of care and Medicare cost *Data source: HQSI, the Medicare Quality Improvement Organization for New Jersey, under contract with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Transitional Care: Rationale PPACA specifies incentives and penalties to hospitals and health systems based on readmission rates. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) penalizes hospitals with severity-adjusted readmission rates exceeding those expected for Medicare beneficiaries with CHF, pneumonia, or AMI. Starting in Oct 2013, maximum penalty increased to 2% and topped top out at 3% in In alignment with the Partnership for Patients initiative to reduce avoidable readmissions and reduce health care expenditures, the implementation of transitional care strategies aims to improve the care transition process across settings. Focusing efforts in the community, instead of isolating them to hospitals, has been proposed to be the best target for intervention. Partnership for Patients (PP) Initiative Nationwide public-private partnership to improve quality, safety, and affordability of health care. Two major goals: (1) Reduce harm caused to patients in hospitals. Reduce preventable errors in hospitals by 40% and reduce hospital readmissions by 20%. 10 core patient safety areas of focus: adverse drug events, catheter-associated UTIs, central line associated blood stream infections, injuries from falls and immobility, obstetrical adverse events, pressure ulcers, surgical site infections, venous thromboembolism, ventilator-associated pneumonia, readmissions (2) Improve care transitions. Key elements: The Hospital Engagement Networks 26 State, regional, national and hospital system organizations serve as Hospital Engagement Networks (> 3,700 hospitals) Help identify solutions already working to reduce hospital-acquired conditions, and work to spread them to other hospitals and health care providers The Community-based Care Transitions Program Created by Section 3026 of the Affordable Care Act, tests models for improving care transitions and reducing readmissions for high-risk Medicare beneficiaries. 102 sites awarded to test models for improving care transitions Each site constitute a collaborative community effort including community-based organizations such as social service providers or Area Agencies on Aging, multiple hospital partners, nursing homes, home health agencies, pharmacies, primary care practices, and other types of health and social service providers serving patients in that community Which of the following models of transitional care specifically provides a set of tools and strategies to assist nursing home staff in the early identification, assessment, documentation, and communication about changes in the status of residents in skilled nursing facilities? A. Coleman Care Transitions Intervention B. Naylor Transitional Care Model C. BOOST (Better Outcomes by Optimizing Safe Transitions) D. Project Re-engineered Discharge (RED) E. INTERACT II (Interventions to Reduce Acute Care Transfers) Transitional Care Model (TCM) (Mary Naylor, PhD) Nurse-developed, nurse-led intervention Comprehensive discharge planning for older adults with chronic illnesses hospitalized for common conditions Hospital planning and home follow-up Coordination of care by an APN Transitional Care Nurse Visits patients within hrs of admission, and every 48 hrs thereafter Calls and visits patient at home after discharge Accompanies patient to follow-up visit Increased patient and caregiver understanding and management of health problems Early identification and response to potential problems Reduced hospital readmissions (2-week: 4% vs 16%, P=0.02; 6-week: 10% vs 23%, P=0.04), and rehospitalization and post-discharge service costs No difference in post-discharge acute care visits, functional status, depression, or patient satisfaction 1.

Transitions Coach Provide older patients and caregivers with tools and support to encourage more active role in their care transitions Provide continuity across care settings Meet with patient in hospital before discharge, establish rapport, arrange home visit, ideally within hours For patients transferred to SNF: telephone or visit at least weekly to maintain continuity, facilitate preparation for discharge (attention to self-care), arrange home visit Home visit: reconcile medications, impart skills for effectively communicating care needs during subsequent encounters with health care providers, rehearse communication strategies with patient, review red flags After home visit, 3 phone calls over 28 days post discharge (determine whether received appropriate services, review progress toward goals, support patient s role in chronic illness self-management) Lower 30-day (8.3 vs 11.9, P=.048) and 90-day (16.7 vs 22.5, P=.04) readmission rates, lower hospital costs Coleman EA, Parry C, Chalmers S, Min SJ.

Hartford Foundation Mentors hospital teams to map current processes and create and implement action plans for organizational change Provides a suite of evidence-based clinical interventions that can be easily adapted and integrated into each unique hospital environment Interventions incorporate 5 principles: patient centeredness, empowerment, risk appropriateness, team orientation, bridging. Project BOOST Mentoring Program. Participating sites receive: Day long training sessions (fee-based) Year-long coaching/mentoring program (free, courtesy of grant from the John A. Hartford Foundation) >180 participating sites as of Jan 2014 BOOST Data Center: Resources to help sites implement best practices BOOST Collaboration: Care transitions discussion communities Early data from 6 sites: Reduced 30-day readmission rates from 14.2% to 11.2% Project Re-engineered Discharge (RED) (Brian Jack, MD) For general medical patients: Patient-centered education, comprehensive discharge planning, postdischarge reinforcement. Original trial did not enroll patients admitted from or discharged (planned) to an institutional setting. 3 core elements: Nurse discharge advocates (DA) carried out all aspects of in-hospital intervention. After-hospital care plan (AHCP), containing provider contact info, appt and test dates, appt calendar, color-coded medication schedule, list of tests with pending results at DC, illustrated description of DC dx, info about what to do if a problem arises. DA used a teach-back methodology to review contents of AHCP with patient. On day of discharge, AHCP and DC summary were faxed to the PCP. Follow-up phone call Clinical pharmacist called patient 2-4 days after discharge to reinforce DC plan, reviewed meds, and addressed medication-related problems; communicated issues to PCP or DA Virtual patient advocates currently being tested in conjunction with the RED, with computergenerated instructions. Lower rate of hospital utilization (incidence ratio, 0.695, P = 0.009), lower total cost per patient, higher rate of seeing PCP for F/U within 30 days. ay.cfm.

Accessed Jan 2, INTERACT II (Interventions to Reduce Acute Care Transfers) (Joseph G. Ouslander, MD) Reduce avoidable transfers of SNF residents to the acute hospital. Set of tools and strategies to assist NH staff in early identification, assessment, documentation, and communication about changes in status of SNF residents. 3 strategies: Identifying, assessing, and managing conditions proactively to prevent them from becoming severe enough to require hospitalization (e.g., dehydration, exacerbation of CHF). Managing selected conditions in NH when the resident does not meet specific criteria that suggest the need for acute hospital care (e.g., respiratory and urinary tract infections, fever). Improving advance care planning and considering a palliative care plan as an alternative to acute hospitalization for residents at the end of life (e.g., end-stage dementia or Parkinson s disease with recurrent aspiration pneumonia). Leadership education, facility champion, NH staff education. Evaluated in 25 NHs in 3 states in a 6-month quality improvement initiative. Average cost of 6-month implementation $7,700 per NH. Projected savings to Medicare in a 100-bed NH ~$125,000/year. 17% reduction in self-reported hospital admissions (24% for engaged NHs, 6% for not engaged NHs). Ouslander JG, Lamb G, Tappen R, et al.
