Re-Imagining the DOC:FY14 Report on Implementation August 25, 2014
Agenda • Outcomes for FY14 • Review of Dashboard • Analysis of HomeBASE clinic-based complex care management program • Priorities for FY15 • Expanding capacity for population health management • Optimizing clinic operations • Discussion and Next Steps
Brief recap • DOC provides primary care to ~4300* patients • Most underserved (~40% Medicaid incl duals, 15% uninsured; minority, low SES) • Main continuity clinic site for Duke IM Residency (70+ resids) • Historically, patients high utilizers of care • Frequent ED use; 30-day DUH all-cause readmit rate of 21% • High burden of chronic illness, plus co-morbid mental health (MH), substance abuse (SA) • 83% of DOC pts w/ ≥3 hospitalizations had co-morbid MH/SA • Led to comprehensive redesign, starting in July 2014 • Added dually-trained medicine-psychiatry attending; APP • CCNC-funded clinic-based care manager • Stead-based resident clinic groups *Defined by 2 office visits in past 36 months, including 1 in the last 12 Source: Performance Services
HomeBASE Evaluation of Impact on Healthcare Use Post-intervention annual encounter rate = (Number of encounters in evaluation period / Length of evaluation period) * 365 • Pre-intervention annual encounter rate: • PCP visits at DOC • ED Visits • Hospital Admissions • Inpatient Days Encounter Costs Based on average cost for DOC patients receiving care at DUH during FY13 and FY14. Source: Josh Worrell, Finance
Impact of HomeBASE on ED visits Average change = 6.7 fewer ED visits* per HomeBASE patient *annualized fewer ED visits more ED visits
Impact of HomeBASE on Inpatient days Average change = 0.8 fewer inpatient days* per HomeBASE patient *annualized fewer inpatient days more inpatient days
-0.8 -6.7 -0.5 -$58K -$120K -$1K
Priorities for FY15: Population health management • HomeBASE • Continuing to formalize HomeBASE process (e.g., care plans) • Broadening scope of clinic-based care mgmt to uninsured • Requires addt’l non-CCNC support ($16K) for DOC care manager (Marigny) to expand scope beyond Medicaid • Non-emergent patient transportation pilot • Early results promising • Transfer of donated van; recruitment of volunteer driver(?) • New formalized complex care evaluation option • Part of creation of add’tl stratified collaborative care interventions • For any high-need patient who meets criteria for HomeBASE but does not have Medicaid • Covering medication-related issues, psych, housing/food, etc. • Performed jointly by SW (Jan) & MH NP (Julia) • To help PCPs address needs, connect patients with resources • Ongoing analysis of HomeBASE impact
Stratified Collaborative Care Interventions Higher Intensity
Population health mgmt (cont’d): Uninsured DOC patients • Partner again w/ PADC to refer pts to exchanges • Did this in February of this year; affordability an issue • Referral by Pharmacy of Medicare Part D-eligible patients not enrolled/who qualify for addt’l assistance • Broaden role of SAM (Brandie) in coordination of coverage-related activities • Ultimately reducing costs of uninsured to DUHS • Possible pilot w/ DUH hospitalists to provide PCMH for selected complex uninsured pts discharged from DUH • Requires addt’l non-CCNC support for clinic-based care mgr • Could be good use of SOAR counselor (w/ dedicated time?); LATCH, too PADC = Project Access Durham County; SAM = Service Access Manager; PCMH = primary care medical home; SOAR = SSI/SSDI Outreach Access & Recovery
Population health mgmt (cont’d) • Mental Health-Primary Care (MH-PC) next steps • Collaborative care model expansion • Diabetes and depression management pilot (IMPACT model) • Treatment for alcohol abuse (@DOC: 39% SA; 8% EtOH) • Chronic pain • Cont’d involvement in leadership of DUHS Opioid Safety Taskforce (clinical pharmacists Holly/Ben, Larry Greenblatt) • Uniform policies, med safety, use of NC CSRS, etc. • Developing relationship w/ Duke Pain Medicine • Referral to AIM Health Services for addiction treatment; clinic-based suboxone treatment for selected patients • Social determinants of health • Tracking socioeconomic barriers faced by DOC patients (literacy, housing, food insecurity, transportation, adult maltreatment, hx of child abuse, ineffective self-mgmt)
Population health mgmt (cont’d) • Advanced analytics to understand, respond to needs of important patient subpopulations • Updated (and updating) DOC primary care patient list • DOC database (of clinical, socioeconomic variables) • Has been built; will load DEDUCE/DSR, be annually updated • Use of visualizations • Including for planned chronic kidney disease (CKD) project • AAMC “hot spotting” project • AAMC-supported minigrant using Macarthur “Genius” award-winner Jeff Brenner’s Camden Coalition method for understanding high-need patients’ stories • Transition to Healthy Planet (when available, fully functional)
DOC DRH Main Lincoln
Priorities for FY15: Clinic Operations • Outreach to “lapsed” or “hard-to-reach” patients • SAM-led response to Six Sigma Green Belt project/CGCAHPS • Clarified routing to existing diabetes-related services • Continued elevation in level of care provided on-site • RNs completing certifications for placement of peripheral IVs • New Procedure Clinic (joint injects, cryotherapy, punch biopsy) • GIM Consultation Clinic • Revenue enhancement • TCM billing; initial barrier addressed w/ PRMO • Pharmacy billing for visits (new) • Quality of resident experience • Changed intern scheduling in clinic to full days • Renewed focus on clinic communications • Further refining role of Stead-based clinic groups • Participating in Transforming Primary Care Collaborative • including Joint Commission PCMH certification 21
Diabetes-related services Sheila White
Clinic Operations (cont’d):Optimizing use of clinical pharmacy capacity • End of FY14sawloss of 0.9 FTE PharmD • In FY15: • Efforts to improve process efficiency, task-skill match • e.g., modifying CII contract management process • Continued facilitation of group visits (w/ SW; diabetes, hypertension, chronic pain) • Face-to-face visits to include anticoagulation, diabetes/hypertension/hyperlipidemia, medication management, and pain medication (CII) mgmt • Targeting pharmacy post-discharge medication reconciliation encounters to needier patients • Goalfor FY15: 50% of all discharges • Billing for clinical pharmacist visits • Start date: September 1
Discussion and Next Steps: Requested FY15 investments • Support for possible pilot of providing PCMH to “medically homeless” complex uninsured patients • Cont’d support for/ dedicated time of SOAR worker to help uninsured DOC patients (plus addt’l social work needs) • Direct support for clinic-based care manager ($16K) • Would allow expansion of Marigny’s work outside Medicaid (e.g., “medically homeless” pilot) • Preservation of budgeted clinic staffing allocation • Non-emergent patient transportation • Van donated from DFC; cost of insurance ($110/mo) + fuel • Volunteer driver? • Support for participation in planned TPC Collaborative • Contribution req’d to cover both DFM and DOC ($20K)
FY14 Accomplishments • Reduced inappropriate ED and inpatient utilization • Avoided direct costs of $489K (and savings of $384K) • Successfully established clinic-based complex care management program, on-site mental health-primary care collaborative care model • Increased resident satisfaction • Rebecca Kirkland Award (DUHS PSQC) • It Takes a TEAM Award (DUH) • Podium presentation at Society for General Internal Medicine (SGIM) Annual Meeting • AAMC HotspottingMinigrant
OVERALL, how would you RATE the VALUE of your PRIMARY CARE CLINIC EXPERIENCE?

DOC Patients Disease Network
Diabetes care • Clarified referral paths, indications for in-clinic and outside diabetes-related services • Six Sigma Green Belt Project (Shah, Simo) • Finding “lapsed” patients • Implementing IMPACT model for 25 patients w/ uncontrolled DM
Premium support for exchange-eligible uninsured • NC decision not to expand Medicaid limited coverage gains to those >100% FPL who could afford to purchase exchange plans w/ subsidies. • However, many people eligible for exchange plans cannot afford even this, even w/ subsidies provided. • In March 2014, of 23 exchange-eligible patients at DOC referred to PADC navigator, only 6 were able to afford their offer of coverage and sign up. • A proposal is being developed that would provide premium support for selected medically needy exchange-eligible individuals to purchase coverage. • Follows prior precedent set when e.g., COBRA coverage was purchased by Duke on behalf of an uninsured hospitalized patient.
Additional factor to consider • We have recently seen a rise in patients who have obtained insurance through the Affordable Care Act requesting assistance with the cost of their meds • While uninsured, they qualified for assistance from the manufacturer (Patient Assistance Programs) • Once insured, copays may be as high as $150 or more for some medications (e.g. insulin) • If premiums are paid for insurance for patients, there may be a hidden cost through a rise in requests for hospital sponsored meds
