  1. Managing Client Care

  2. Models of Care Delivery • Decision making • Care allocation • Communication • Management

  3. Traditional Models of Care Delivery • Total Care-Percursor of Primary Care • Home Health • Private Duty • Intensive Care • Nursing Students Advantage of being client focused-yet, not the most efficient use of staff

  4. FunctionalModels of Care Delivery Grew in the 1950’s • Manager assigns a medication nurse, treatment nurse • Communication is clearly defined Efficient model in getting the work done. Also economical Negative factor is “care is fragmented” and emotional needs of staff an clients are overlooked in the interest of time management and task completion

  5. Contemporary Models of Care Delivery Restructuring and Redesigning appeared • Case Management • Describes a variety of healthcare delivery systems in acute, long-term and community settings • This is not new…Public Health has used this since the early 1900’s and Mental Health since 1960’s

  6. Chronic Care Management Design • Pioneered by Edward H. Wagner, MD, MPH and colleagues at MacColl Institute for Healthcare Innovation at Group Health Cooperative of Puget Sound, Seattle Washington* • Supported by Robert Wood Johnson Foundation** *Wagner, E.H. (1998). Chronic disease management. What will it take to improve care for chronic illness? Effective Clinical Practice, 1, 2-4. **Improving Chronic illness Care (ICIC) is a national program supported by Robert Wood Johnson Foundation with direction and technical assistance by Group Health Cooperative’s MacColl Institute for Healthcare Innovation.

  9. Mobilize Community Resources • Patients participate in effective community programs • Form partnerships to fill gaps in needed services and avoid duplicating efforts • Advocate for policies to improve patient care

  10. Health System – Organization of Care • Improvement at all levels of the organization • Promote effective strategies • Open and systematic handling of errors and quality issues to improve care • Provide incentives based on quality of care • Facilitate care coordination within and across organizations

  11. Self-Management Support • Patient has a central role in managing health • Self-management support strategies • Assessment, goal-setting, action planning, problem solving, and follow-up • Community resources to support self-management

  12. Delivery System Design • Define roles and distribute task • Planned interactions for evidence-based care • Clinical case management services for complex patients • Regular provider initiated follow-up • Cultural sensitive care

  13. Decision Support • Daily practice of evidence-based care • Share clinical guidelines and information with patients* • Provide professional education • Integrate specialty and primary care *Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality – National Guideline Clearinghouse http://www.guideline.gov

  14. Clinical Information Systems • Timely reminders for providers and patients • Identify subpopulations for proactive care • Facilitate individual patient care planning • Share information • Monitor outcomes Registry tracks individuals and populations Continuous Quality Improvement

  15. Chronic Care Management Programs • Comprehensive system change • Targeting • Case management

  16. Primary Care Delivery System Traditional • Provide acute care • Diagnostic and laboratory services • Treatment of signs and symptoms • Prescriptions • Brief education • Short appointments • Patient-initiated follow-up

  17. Traditional Provide acute care Diagnostic and laboratory Services Treatment of signs and symptoms Prescriptions Brief education Short appointments Patient-initiated follow-up Reconfigured Developed processes for CD Incentives for making changes Extensive patient education to increase patient’s confidence and skills Provider-initiated appointments and follow-up Evidence-based guidelines and provider interaction Information Systems Delivery System Redesign

  18. Targeting Approach • Correctly assumes a small percent of the population accounts for most health care costs • Possible to reduce cost based on this method • However, health status changes occur frequently • “Targeting” misses a substantial portion of the population at risk

  19. Case Management Approach Many programs include: • Brief hospitalization • Low intensity follow-up care • Conduct utilization review Chronic Care Management advocates for: Access to services that are proven to improve outcomes

  20. Examples: Missouri’s Chronic Health Care Indicators, BRFSS, 2004 • 69.1% of seniors (age 65+) received a flu shot in past 12 months • 65.2% of adults with diabetes test their blood sugar at least once daily • 55.6% of adults with diabetes have participated in a course or class to manage their diabetes • 52.8% of adults (age 50+) have ever had a lower endoscopy exam • 39.9% of adults with arthritis have received a suggestion from their health care provider to exercise or engage in physical activity to help their joint symptoms (2003)

  21. Example: Medicaid • A web-based system to help fee-for-service Medicaid patients manage chronic conditions • Integrate APS Healthcare’s CareConnection application with a chronic care improvement program • Product – “collaborative medical record” • Accessible to patients, providers and health care coaches The Advisory Board Company. (2006) Missouri creates web-based chronic care system. iHealth Beat. Retrieved June 20, 2006 from http://www.ihealthbeat.org

  22. Incentives • Vary across provider organization • May reduce patient expenses • May also reduce profitable inpatient care • Poorly reimbursed preventive services • Performance related to defined quality goals Providers - / + Provider groups with full-capitation + Health Plans (deliver returns within 6-12 mo) ++ Purchasers / Employers +++ Governmental entities ++++ + greater incentive to engage in disease management

European physicians especially in Sweden, Netherlands and Denmark, lead U.S. in use of electronic medical records. HealthCare News, 2(16), 1-3.

  25. Chronic Care Management Overarching Goal Improved Health Status • Regular visits with health providers • Focus on function • Prevent exacerbations and complications • Emphasizes self-management • Ensures access to services proven to improve outcomes • Establishes links through time with information systems • Follow-up initiated by medical provider

  26. In Summary • Chronic care management offers improved health status for many with chronic diseases • Chronic illness care should be based on the best available evidence • Need consistent quality measures and additional research in the various models

  27. Nursing Management involves • coordination of monitoring of patient care • A system for delivering nursing care that is based on the philosophy of case management • Designed to decrease fragmentation of care, decrease hospital days and cost • Nursing care management is a system for delivering nursing care
