California Chronic Care Learning Communities Initiative Collaborative Overview and Results:What We Have Accomplished Final Outcomes Congress - December 9, 2005 Wendy Jameson, Director Angela Hovis, Improvement Advisor
Prevalence of Chronic Disease in California • 12 million in CA with chronic disease • Hypertension • Asthma • Congestive Heart Failure • Diabetes • 4 million of chronically ill Californians seek care in the safety net 2 million have diabetes Bodenheimer, T., Examining Chronic Care in California’s Safety Net,Oakland: California Health Care Foundation, July 2003.
What Do Patients with Chronic Illness Need? • Care geared towards: • Preventing bad outcomes (amputation, blindness, cardiovascular disease) • Motivating and helping patients make lifestyle changes • A tracking system, or patient registry, to make sure no one slips through the cracks
Chronic Care Model Community Health System Health Care Organization Resources and Policies ClinicalInformationSystems Self-Management Support DeliverySystem Design Decision Support Prepared, Proactive Practice Team Informed, Activated Patient Productive Interactions Improved Outcomes
In General, American Medicine Does a Poor Job Caring for the Chronically Ill • Half of patients hospitalized with congestive heart failure are readmitted within 90 days. • 63% with diabetes have HbA1c levels > 7.0%. • 66% hypertensives have BP out of control.

California Chronic Care Learning Communities CollaborativeGoals For diabetic patients served by nine public hospital clinics, our goal was to: • Improve care processes • Decrease complications • Reduce cardiovascular risk
Three Key Focus Areas • Use of data and information systems to support pro-active care • Control of clinical risk factors • Each team set goals, based on Bureau of Primary Health Care Health Disparities Collaboratives • Better use of self-management support strategies by patients and providers
Where did we start? • 9 clinics serving over 13,000 diabetics; many poorly controlled • All at risk for cardiovascular disease • Each clinic chose a small pilot population of 100-200 patients of 1-3 physicians

Challenges to Improving Chronic Care in Public Hospitals & Health Systems • No reimbursement for non-physician care • Information systems not geared for tracking chronic care patients • Chaotic, overstressed primary care clinics • Patients with limited English & low health literacy • Difficulty changing job descriptions of clinic staff • Bureacracy • Delivery system geared toward acute illness
Public hospital Systems Can Have the Most Impact on Disparities in Chronic Care • Health disparities: patient population is 78% people of color, predominantly low-income • Comprehensive systems of care: potential to improve along continuum of care • Training next generation of health care professionals
