San Diego SNF Resource Analysis July 24th 2014
National University Effort Results of Student Research • Determining SNF health delivery capacity • What are the Skilled Nursing Care Resources in the San Diego Community and are their GAPS in Services available? • Investigators: Sharon Segrist, Joe Feliciano • Internship Coordinator-Kiera Schminke, MPH
Presentation of Results • Methodology • Conduct of Survey • Aggregation and Extrapolation of Data • Discussion of Results
Methodology-Data Sources • Utilization of Skilled Nursing Facilities • Facility register- County of San Diego Skilled Nursing Facility Emergency/Disaster Task Force • Office of Statewide Health Planning 2012 reporting data • Survey Monkey Results from +58% of local facilities • Imperial County Information
Conduct of Survey • Sourced from Interact tool kit used in MDS reporting and analysis • Tested 10 key questions with SDHCA Board of Directors • Sent out surveys • Follow up with calls and emails
Aggregation of Data • Regional Analysis- utilizing the County of San Diego Emergency Services Region model • Local Hospitals in relation to skilled care facilities • Collection of self reported data on specialty services • Use of Extrapolation technique to draw conclusions with results
Relational Data • Average number of SNFs- within 5 miles of hospital 63 %
Unserved Communities • These local communities have no/limited skilled nursing facilities: • These local communities have the most skilled nursing facilities: • El Cajon, Kearney Mesa, Escondido
Service Capacity Most skilled nursing facilities provide: Specialized Diet Management
Service Capacity Few Facilities Offer:
How soon after admission is the patient evaluated by a physician? 24 (50.00%)
Socio-Economic Factors • Corporation Owned facilities 32% • Privately Owned facilities-LLC’s- 52% • Non Profit Facilities 15% • Leading owner-operators in San Diego
Identified Gaps • Few private or negative pressure Isolation Rooms • Trach and Vent Management Programs • Location of patient placement – close to hospital not close to family/home • Quick Access to MD’s post admission
Recommendations • Conduct SNF Survey Annually • Improve Participation of Facilities in survey • Publish results in Quick Guide • Explore the expansion of the care conversation with families, patients and primary care physicians • Explore preference to place patients in facilities nearer to their home community • Refine the role of Hospital Case Managers and Post Acute care management
Dual Eligibles & other Fun • Battle of the Case Managers to “own” the patient • Lack of Understanding about the operational pattern of SNF nursing units • Everyone must incorporate each other into the planning for a patient’s/resident’s care. • Continued Care Compact
