  10. Huddles and Team Meetings Huddles • Every Day • 10 Minutes • All Teamlet Members and Teamlet Social Worker • Identify Priorities for the Day • Communicate, Clarify, Assign • Tie Up Loose Ends from Prior Day

  11. Huddles and Team Meetings Team Meetings • Once a Week • One Hour • Teamlet, Social Worker and Others as Related to Agenda • Agenda • Microsystem improvement • Care decisions with interdisciplinary team regarding complex Veterans

  12. Access: Traditional • Saturated schedules • Triage and rework often with high intensity resource • Multiple appointment types • Needs for “urgent”, “routine” and intermediate not met • Capacity: Overbook and “over there” • Continuity: Fine if you wait

  13. Open Access PACT Continuity: Every patient sees their own provider/team member Capacity: Future schedule is truly open • Backlog has been eliminated • Increase non-appointment care • Increase shared medical appointments • Right team member engaged with right patient’s needs • Right needs addressed by right tool (phone)

  14. Creating Schedule Space • Work Harder = add capacity temporarily • Work Smarter = reduce provider demand • Improve continuity • Reduce NS rate • Extend RVI • Schedule phone visit • Delegate tasks to others • Use group visits • Increase self care

  15. Contingency Plans • Predict and respond to variation in demand between days • Seasons • Plan for variation in supply between days • Short Term • Long Term • Plan for variation of demand and supply WITHIN the day

  16. Shared Medical Appointments • One-on-one care with observers • 15-20 patients in 90 – 120 min. • Patients learn from staff and from each other • Appeals to about ½ of those offered option • Requires substantial planning & help

  17. When to Schedule an Appointment? • Is a physical exam needed? • Is this a “relationship” visit? • Is there a need for a critical conversation? The harder the problem, the more valuable the appointment strategy.

  18. Delivering Telephone Care in PACT • 30% patient care can be done by telephone • Telephone Care by all team members needs to be legitimized, formalized and accepted. • Scheduled time on appointment grids & unscheduled visits • Documentation of Telephone Care via telephone stop codes, telephone clinics, coding/encounters and progress notes supports VERA allocation & workload.

  19. POSTER

  20. Why Secure Messaging? • 62% of Veteran population has access to the Internet • Veterans are requesting timely access to their health information • Veterans want to play an active role in partnering with primary care providers to manage their healthcare

  21. Goals of Secure Messaging • Improved Quality: patient-provider partnership promoting health, wellness, and informed decision-making. • Improved Veteran Satisfaction: patients’ desire this type of automated service for enhanced efficiency, convenience, and satisfaction. • Improved Access: reduction in unnecessary office visits, expansion of case management and ease of access to services. • Improved Patient Growth: new generation of veterans are highly acclimated to the electronic environment

  22. Increase Supply • Look inside of the appointment • What is the work? • Who is doing it now? • Who could be doing it? • What is the provider doing that someone else could do?

  28. The Global Burden of Chronic Diseases • Chronic diseases are the largest cause of death in the world. • In 2002, the leading chronic diseases—cardiovascular disease, cancer, chronic respiratory disease, and diabetes—caused 29 million deaths worldwide • Global response to the problem remains inadequate • elevating chronic diseases on the health agenda of key policymakers • persuading them of the need for health systems change. Yach et al. JAMA, June 2, 2004—Vol 291, No. 21

  29. Chronic Disease in the United States Affects more than 180 million Americans Accounts for more than 75 cents of every dollar spent and nearly 2/3 of the total healthcare expense By 2030: Anticipated increase in healthcare costs tied to chronic disease, 25% to 54% 45% of the American population have at least one chronic condition
