Perioperative Surgical Home Model Julie Sheedy DNP, MSN, NE-BC,RN Administrator March 9, 2019
Agenda Welcome Overview of TriHealth TriHealth Surgical Home Data Collection Lessons Learned Future state Closing
TriHealth At A Glance Four acute-care hospitals with 900 adult-staffed beds One short-stay surgical hospital Two free-standing outpatient surgery centers Over 140 outpatient service locations Over 150 physician practice locations Over 850 employed physicians Over 1,800 physicians on medical staff Over 12,000 employees
TriHealth Awards for Clinical Quality, Technical Excellence and Employee Engagement
TriHealth Awards for Clinical Quality, Technical Excellence and Employee Engagement Healthcare Information and Management System Society (HIMSS) Analytics Electronic Medical Record (EHR) Adoption Model Stage 7 Awarded to TriHealth July 2014 TriHealth successfully recertified as HIMSS Stage 7 in December 2017
TriHealth Surgical Optimization Center Recognition Nationally Recognized by ASA as Industry Leading Innovator Award Nationally Recognized by Studer Group What’s Right in Healthcare Nationally Recognized by ASPAN as First Place Winners
Local Problem Patient outcomes were being impacted due to: Clinical variation Lack of coordinated care Patient disconnected from primary care provider Causing: Increased costs Inconsistent patient experience
Perioperative Learning Collaborative Premier Learning Collaborative is physician-led that brings health systems and clinical leaders together to challenge perceptions and practices related to improvement solutions. Leveraging the power of peer-to-peer learning, data-enabled decision making and innovation to evaluate new cost and quality improvements. Over 80 hospitals are participating and sharing best practices TriHealth chose to participate in the National Perioperative Learning Collaborative and pilot a perioperative surgical home program.
What Is Perioperative Surgical Home? • Patient centered, team based model of care that guides the patient from the decision of the need for surgery through 90 days post discharge • Provides a care pathway for the patient with clinical processes and protocols throughout the episode of care • Aligns with the triple aim to reduce cost and clinical variability while improving clinical outcomes
Transforming Pre-SurgicalServices • Surgical cases account for 50% of readmissions • Current state contributes to excessive expenditures (labs, cardiac clearance, productivity) • Duplicate and unnecessary testing • Fragmentation falls short of meeting patients needs
PSH Perioperative Clinic • Patient Reported Outcomes (PROs)* • Identification of risk through screening • Chronic disease Management • Holistic Management of the patient
TriHealth Surgical Optimization Center (TSOC) • Admission through a centralized clinic • Early preadmission assessments/risk stratification • Centralized systems to gather health information • “Prehabilitation” programs • Multidisciplinary team based care to coordinate/navigate complex patients prior to surgery • Support healthy surgical candidate with a standardized process
Solution Selection Process Colorectal as the Preferred Service Line Manageable volume (~3oo patients) Cohesive and collaborating group of physicians and team members Looking for an engaged service line that would allow us to stand up a successful model that could be extended and repeated across the enterprise.

Optimization Phase Surgeon referral to TSOC Nurse Practitioner identify for pre-risk screening Obtain anesthesia consults Perform H&P’s when necessary Determine course of treatment based on labs and EKG
Optimization Phase Nurse Navigators obtain surgical referral • Perform chart review within 48-72 hours • Phone encounter to determine clinical needs • Conduct Optimization protocols • Perform optimization visit for education and necessary services • Follow-up with surgical patients 6 days out
Optimization Protocols • Anemia Protocol • Anticoagulation Pathway • Diabetes Protocol • Enhance Recovery Protocol • Fraility • Nutritional Pathway • Obstructive Sleep Apnea • Smoking Cessation
Implications of Frailty for the Surgical Patient • Frailty in non emergent surgery predicts: • 2.5 fold increased risk of postop complications • 1.7 fold increase in LOS • 20 fold increase in discharge to not home • Frailty in emergency surgery: • 11 fold increase in mortality Makary J Am CollSurg 2010 Farhat J Trauma Acute care Surg 2012 Kim JAMA Surg 2014
Intraoperative Phase • Multi-modal pain management • Fluid management • Standardization of surgical technique
Postoperative Phase • Pain management plan of care • Early mobilization • Care transition to home • Discharge protocols • Multi-disciplinary approach with patient and family
Post-Discharge Phase • Nurse Care Guide established to care manage patient 90-days post-discharge • Developed registries to identify patients • Utilized EMR documentation to standardize follow-up care • Patient Experience Survey at day two and day 10
Quality Outcomes Increased Overall Patient Satisfaction 76% to 83% No Case Cancellations Response rate: 84% 218/260 returned survey Compliance with IT Tools: 100% of Colo-rectal patients followed the TSOC clinical pathway Total volume: 260 cases
Quality Outcomes 67% overall reduction in SSI Source: HDM – Clinical Quality Dept 5.8% overall reduction in ALOS Source: TH TSOC Dashboard & Decision Support Financial Data Warehouse

Lessons Learned • Establish a steering group to oversight of the program. • Keep the scope tight and cohesive. • Select strong operational team members. • Ongoing meetings to identify progress, barriers and challenges. • Collaboration and team work… respect and appreciation for all perspectives. • Delivering a product that is a patient centered and a multidisciplinary approach. • Celebrate wins!
What’s Next • Expanding TSOC and Clinical Pathways • Additional service lines: • Ventral Hernias went live November 2018 • Spine scheduled late spring • Urologic Gynecology • Urology • Future • Increase patient engagement via MyChart questionnaires • Improve patient experience through text-messaging • Enhance data collection • Integrate Clinical Pathways into the Discharge Care Guide’s role • Refine and expand implications in addressing patients at risk for readmission to the hospital
