Care Management Redesign Initiative
The Case for Change

 The need for change:
    Over the next few years, we expect health care costs to rise, reimbursements to
     decrease and a large growth in the number of patients we will serve. To succeed in this
     new environment, THR has to deliver care differently. One of the ways THR will do this is
     in care management.
    There is a great variety in how THR cares for patients from hospital to hospital, making it
     difficult to consistently deliver evidence-based care system wide and across the
     continuum.
 The vision:
    Over the next few years, we will create a new care management model, adopt new
     technologies, workflows and processes.

What were the GAPs in accountability and what roles would
we need in a new redesigned care delivery model.
Accountability at “POC”

  • Needed a standard role to assume accountability for patient-care outcomes
  • Someone to OWN the patient’s experience
  • Needed a provider and coordinator of care at the point of care (not a manager)
  • Available, consistent, reliable, and across the patient’s stay
  • Needed POC application of EBP and PI to design, implement, evaluate, and improve
    patient-care processes
  • Additional issues:
     – Not meeting the desired mark
     – Lack of innovation for new roles / CDMs
     – Move to 12 hour shift
     – Hospitalists
Clinical Nurse Leader

                    • Master’s prepared advance clinician who functions as a
                      clinical leader for RNs and other staff, not as manager.
                    • Advances professional practice, accountability and reduces
                      costs.
                    • Major partner to nursing supervisors/managers.
                    • Knows about each patient in their microsystem.
                    • Acts as consistent figure for patient in the hospital to offset
                      fragmentation.
                    • Acts in the role of ‘traffic control’ or “quarterback” or
                      “attending nurse” in coordinating rollout of the plan for care.
                    • Acts as the primary liaison for physicians, other disciplines,
                      and families.
                    • Monitors competency and mentors team members.
                    • “Advanced Generalist” is role needed.
                    • Responsible 24/7.

Critical Success Factor

      The success of the daily care briefings process relies on recognition of the
        interdependencies between all members of the Interdisciplinary Team.
           Communication must be timely to improve the overall process.
Daily Care Briefings

    Daily Care Briefings Are…
    • Brief (average of one minute per patient)
    • Focused on patient progress and movement to transition, identifying any barriers and offering solutions
    • A high-level review of each patient’s needs for the next 24 hours
    • Led by a facilitator (i.e. Clinical Nurse Leader/Patient Care Facilitator/Charge Nurse/House Supervisor)
    • Inclusive of various members of the interdisciplinary team who bring information pertinent to their role

    Daily Care Briefings Are Not …
    • Patient care rounds
    • Shift report
    • Teaching rounds
Daily Care Briefing Questionnaire
Care Transition Manager

                              Daily Care Briefing Questionnaire – Care Transition Manager (RN & SW)

What is the patient’s payor source?

What is the appropriate patient status (IP, Observation, OP) and level of care (CC, Step-down, Acute, etc.)?

Does the patient continue to meet medical necessity criteria for current patient status and level of care?

What is the transition plan and plan progression for referred patients? Contingency plan(s)?

What are the patient transition needs/barriers (Financial, Psycho/Social, etc.) for referred patients?

Is this a high or low risk for readmission patient (based on RRP)?

What is keeping this patient in the hospital (medical necessity)?

What are the patient’s post-acute handover and follow-up care needs?

Communication by exception
Readmit Risk Tool

  • Use LACE + tool that is part of CareConnect/EPIC

        • “Validated index to predict early death or urgent readmission after
          hospital discharge using administrative data”
                • Score (red/yellow/green) shows on census list and also in
                  patient banners

                      • GOAL: To reduce readmissions by collaborative team
                        action for high risk patients
PCP Appointment

   • Within 3-7 days post acute care DC

                   • PCP, Free Clinic, Transitions House Calls
Purpose of Assigning an
Estimated Transition Date (ETD)

  • Ensures the patient has a smooth transition to the next care setting

  • Provides a goal for the interdisciplinary team to work towards

  • Enables proactive coordination of acute care services

  • Provides clarity to the patient/caregivers about when the patient is going home so they
    can prepare transportation and home arrangements

  • Prevents clinical complications (i.e. nosocomial infections, pressure ulcers, general
    debilitation, etc.)

  • Prevents denials for unnecessary days
Transition Evaluation

Purpose
  • Initial patient screening that will serve as the foundation for the Transition Plan

Who
  • Unit Care Transition Manager (for referred patients)

When
  • Occurs within 24 hours of receiving the CTM referral
  • Transition planning begins upon admission and therefore the Transition Evaluation must be conducted early in the patient’s stay in order
    to maximize health outcomes

How
  • Using the standardized Transition Evaluation template in CareConnect
  • Review ED CTM notes or previous acute stay notes to gather any pertinent information on patient background if able
Metrics

   • Readmissions
   • HCAPS scores/R/T Care Transitions
   • # of unique patients touched by CTM
   • # PCP appointments made
   • Completion of T.E./DC plan
   • Regulatory Compliance.

Implications for Future Care
Delivery

  1. Accountable care
     – CNL playing direct role in improvement workstreams with third party
       payers for diabetes, CHF, pneumonia and AMI patients to improve
       outcomes and reduce readmission on the inpatient units
     – Continue to evaluate the use of the CNL role to coordinate care and
       collaborate across three zones of hospitals and health care providers in
       over 250 physician practice settings.
     – Determine balance between using case managers, navigators, social
       workers, coaches and other roles
     – Continued innovation in care delivery models at micro-level
2. Value based purchasing and Pay for Performance
  – Retention of masters prepared generalists at the point of care and actively
    engaged in patient management
  – Focus of the CNL role is on patient advocacy and continuity
  – CNLs lead and improve interprofessional team coordination and
    communication
  – CNLs directly intervene to prevent complications and assure appropriate
    documentation of care
  – CNLs can impact quality and performance outcomes
  – CNLs promote evidence based care at the point of care and directly with
    staff
3. Cost containment and reduction
  •   Coordination of care to enhance the flow and delivery of services, reduction
      in unnecessary work (or rework) and cost
  •   Partner with the nurse manager and leadership team to tackle operational
      improvements at the point of care
  •   Provide direct feedback on staff effectiveness, staffing and care delivery
      appropriateness and barriers to effective staff nurse performance
Future Plans

• Continued partnership
• Development of options for CNLs to matriculate to DNP
• Identification of new environments for CNL practice
• Continued collaborative professional activities
• Focus on disseminating value of CNL role through
  demonstration of enhanced patient outcomes
