Longitudinal Coordination of Care (LCC) Workgroup (WG)

1. Longitudinal Coordination of Care (LCC) Workgroup (WG) LCC Standards Update for the HITPC MU SWG #3 Care Coordination May 8, 2013

2. Agenda • Limitations in Care Coordination and Standards to support Transitions of Care and Care Plans • IMPACT Project: Addressing C-CDA MU3 Transition of Care Gaps • ONC S&I LCC WG: Advancing Transitions of Care & Care Planning

3. Limitations in Care Coordination & Standards to Support Transitions of Care and Care Plans

4. Failures of Care Coordination • 150,000 preventable adverse drug events ($8 Billion wasted) nationwide each year occur at the time of hospital admission • 1.5 Million preventable adverse events annually nationwide following hospital discharge • Preventable readmissions waste $26B nationwide annually National care transitions experts overwhelmingly identified “improving information flow and exchange” as the most important tool to improve care transitions. (ONC, 2011)

5. MU ToC & Care Plan Requirements • CMS MU2 objectives require sending care summaries, including care plan content,during transitions of care • ONC HIT Policy Committee received strong public support for referrals, transfers of care and care plans in MU3

6. Why C-CDA Does Not Meet MU3 Needs • Lack of ability to fully represent needed care plan content and relationships • Insufficient C-CDA templates to fully meet the needs and responsibilities of Eligible Professionals and Hospitals as senders and receivers of information during transitions of care

7. C-CDA MU3 Care Plan Gaps • Limited support for critical Care Plan components: health risks and safety concerns, non-prescription interventions, patients’ overarching goals, barriers, nutrition assessment and diet orders • No standard for… • Codifying all of the Longitudinal Care team members • Conveying when and how each section was last reconciled for a given patient • Conveying the many-to-many relationships between the components of the Care Plan • Applying a signature to a previously signed CDA document (e.g. a Home Health Plan of Care) CMS, ASPE, CDE, VA and DoD need a CDA-based HHPoC, independent of MU

8. IMPACT Project: Addressing C-CDA MU3 Transition of Care Gaps

9. IMPACT Grant • Improving Massachusetts Post-Acute Care Transitions (IMPACT) Grant Awarded in February 2011 • HHS/ONC State HIE Challenge Grant Fund • MA (MTC/MeHI) one of four Challenge Grant Awardees focused on LTPAC HIE • $1.7M total funding

10. Datasets for Care Transitions • Traditionally—What the sender thinks is important to the receiver • Future—Also take into account what the receiver says they need

11. “Receiver” Data Needs Survey • Largest survey of Receivers’ needs • 46 Organizations completing evaluation • 11 Types of healthcare organizations • 12 Different types of user roles • 1135 Transition surveys completed

20. ONC S&I LCC WG: Advancing Transitions of Care & Care Planning

21. ONC S&I LCC WG Organization Longitudinal Coordination of Care Workgroup COMMUNITY-LED INITIATIVE NEW! Longitudinal Care Plan SWG LTPAC Care Transition SWG HL7 Tiger Team SWG Patient Assessment Summary (PAS SWG • Educate the LCC Community on related HL7 processes, framework and evolving standards relevant to LCC • Gather and generate comments for HL7 Care Plan related evolving standards (Care Coordination Services & Care Plan Domain Analysis Model (DAM)) • Identify the key business and technical challenges that inhibit LTC data exchanges • Define data elements for long-term and post-acute care (LTPAC) information exchange using a single standard for LTPAC transfer summaries • Engage directly with HL7 to establish the standards for the exchange of patient assessment summary documents • Inform the development of the Keystone Beacon PAS Document Exchange • Identify standards for an interoperable, longitudinal care plan* which aligns, supports and informs person-centric care delivery regardless of setting or service provider GOALS *Care Plan standards will enable providers to create, transmit and incorporate care plans and needed content for the benefit of medically complex and/or functionally impaired individuals, their families and caregivers.

22. LCC WG Coordination with Other National Initiatives • CMS esMD: advancing standards for Electronic Submission of Medical Documentation (esMD) • ASPE: sponsoring and collaborating with LCC WG to identify standards for interoperable assessments, assessment summary documents, and care plans • DoD and VA: working to specify Home Health Plan of Care data • HL7 Structured Document, Patient Care, and Care Coordination Services Workgroups • IHE Patient Care Coordination Technical Committee • AHIMA LTPAC HIT Collaborative • HIMSS: Continuity of Care Model

30. Supporting Documentation

31. Communication & Adverse Events • Poor care coordination increases the chance that a patient will suffer from a medication error or other health care mistake by 140% (Lu, et al., 2011) • Communication failures between providers contribute to nearly 70% of medical errors and adverse events in health care (Gandhi, et al., 2000) • 150,000 preventable ADEs ($8 Billion nationwide wasted) each year occur at the time of admission due to inadequate knowledge of outpatient medication history (Stiell, et al., 2003)

32. Problems with ED Visits • Physicians in the Emergency Department (ED) lack important or critical patient information 32% of the time • 15% of ED admissions could be avoided if the ED had outpatient information (Stiell, et al., 2003)

33. Problems After Hospital Discharge • 1.5 Million preventable adverse events annually nationwide from discharge treatment plans not followed (Forster, et al., 2003) • When multiple physicians are treating a patient following a hospital discharge, 78% of the time information about the patient’s care is missing (van Walraven, et al., 2008) • 20% of Medicare patients are readmitted within 30 days. Preventable readmissions waste $26B nationwide annually (McCarthy, et al., 2009)

34. Ambulatory Care is just as bad • 68% of specialists receive no information from the referring PCP prior to referral visits • 25% of PCPs do not receive timely post-referral information from specialists (Gandhi, et al., 2000)

36. Where do patients go after hospital? Everywhere!

37. MU’s Impact on LTPAC • ~40% of Medicare patients are discharged to traditional LTPAC settings (SNF, Home Health, Inpatient Rehab Facility, etc…) • These patients are the sickest population and account for ~75% of Medicare costs • Hospitals must be responsible, and given the tools, to convey the information needed by the recipient of a patient during care transitions Sources: http://aspe.hhs.gov/health/reports/2011/pacexpanded/index.shtml#ch1 http://www.medpac.gov/documents/Jun11DataBookEntireReport.pdf
