  18. Developing a community project to reduce hospital readmissions

  19. RCA Drivers • Data • Medical record review • Process assessment

  20. Whyare people readmitted? Provider-Patient interface Unmanaged condition worsening Use of suboptimal medication regimens Return to an emergency department Unreliable system support Lack of standard and known processes Unreliable information transfer Unsupported patient activation during transfers

  21. RCA Drivers • Data • Medical record review • Process assessment • Drivers + Settings = Interventions

  22. Whyare people readmitted? Provider-Patient interface Unmanaged condition worsening Use of suboptimal medication regimens Return to an emergency department Unreliable system support Lack of standard and known processes Unreliable information transfer Unsupported patient activation during transfers

  26. RCA Drivers • Data • Medical record review • Process assessment • Drivers + Settings = Interventions • Backbone ‘agency’

  27. Whyare people readmitted? Provider-Patient interface Unmanaged condition worsening Use of suboptimal medication regimens Return to an emergency department Unreliable system support Lack of standard and known processes Unreliable information transfer Unsupported patient activation during transfers No Community infrastructure for achieving common goals

  28. I think it’s an elephant!

  29. Backbone ‘agency’ • Common agenda • Common measures • Structured collaboration

  30. 3 important things we learned:

  31. What’s he saying? I sure hope my wife is getting this.. No I’m good to go. Whatever you say is what we’ll do Doctor Blah blahblah, blah blah. Any questions? 1. Patient activation trumps all

  32. PATIENT ACTIVATION

  33. The CMS Discharge Planning Checklist • http://www.medicare.gov/Publications/Pubs/pdf/11376.pdf

  34. The Patient Activation Measurewww.insigniahealth.com Sample Questions: #1: “When all is said and done, I am the person who is responsible for taking care of my health.” #12: “I am confident I can figure out solutions when new problems arise with my health” The PAM is scored on a 100 point continuum. Most patients score between 35 and 80 Knowledge, skills and confidence PATIENT ACTIVATION 37

  35. The PAM is very helpful to guide interventions

  36. 2. Local adaptation is inevitable • Adapt gold standard models • Do not adapt others’ adaptations

  37. 3. Ask the community to help • “Brought to you by your Community Partners”

  38. Community Organizing Techniques • Tie participation to values • Include personal narratives • Intentionally develop other leaders • Intentionally develop relationships • Develop flexible tactics
