Let’s evaluate the load • Populations • TOC • ER F/U • Office identified (high versus highest risk?) • Volume of patients per each • Level of interventions needed per each…
Who are your top 5% highest risk patients? • Patients with CHF, COPD? • Patients with multiple co-morbidities? • Patients that are older? • Patients that have problems with ADLs? • Other??
Volume: How many highest risk patients are identified ….. • During hospitalization follow-up? • During other transitions of care? • Post ER visits? • During office risk assessments? • Reviewing of utilization? • Insurer high risk data evaluation? • Other?
Characteristics: What level of interventions are required for….. • Patients being discharged from the hospital? • Patients experiencing other TOC? • Patients being followed up after an ER visit? • Patients being identified as highest risk during the office practice? • Patients being identified on the insurer highest risk list?
TOC: Hospital Discharges • Volume: • Highest risk? • High risk? • Medium risk? • Low risk? • Stratifying patients according to interventions: • Continued in-depth assessments • Disease-management education, goal setting • Routine follow-up care – taking meds, office F/U, etc. • Potential for problems minimal • Common complications can be monitored easily • Other??? • Do CM interventions decrease after first call? For which patients?
ER Follow-up Calls • Volume? • In-depth assessment needed? • Interventions needed? • Getting the patient in for an office appointment? • Immediate RN interventions needed --- teaching, medication reconciliation, communication with PCP • What leveling of interventions is possible?
Highest risk patients identified in the office? • Volume? • Who are they? • What do the need? • Who can best help them? • CDE • Social worker • Patient navigator • What continued CM interventions are needed?
What level of staff & interventions are needed per population? • TOC Patients • Low risk • Medium risk • High risk • Highest risk ---- to CM registry • ER Follow-up • High risk • Highest risk • Office identified patients • High risk • Highest risk
What can you do to stratify the interventions of highest risk patients? • Patient volume • Patient need – interventions • Stratify the interventions • Based on the intervention needed, who can best meet the need?
