© Joint Commission Resources Project RED: Module 1 Preparation for the redesign of your discharge process

© Joint Commission Resources Re-engineering Discharge  The goal of the AHRQ- funded project is to help participating hospitals across the country improve the discharge process to assist patients more safely care for themselves at home and to prevent readmissions

© Joint Commission Resources Module I Outline  Course Overview Modules 1-4  Planning your project  Project RED components

© Joint Commission Resources Discharge Planning Patient Admission H & P Rx Plan PATIENT EDUCATION Discharge Order Written Discharge Process Discharge Event DISCHARGE INSTRUCTIONS Post-D/C Follow-up

Module 1: Getting Started! Objectives  Identify organizational strategic priorities that will align with local, regional and national requirements  Develop a systematic performance improvement process to facilitate knowledge transfer and sustainable change  Review the roles of executive sponsor, project team leader, discharge advocate, physician champion and pharmacist in the redesigned discharge process  Develop an understanding of Project RED’s 11 components

© Joint Commission Resources Course Overview Modules 1- 4  Module 1 – Getting Started!  Module 2 – Patient Admission Care and Treatment  Module 3 – Patient Discharge and Follow Up Care  Module 4 - The Hospital Launch

© Joint Commission Resources Determine Your Infrastructure Oversight Committee Champions Project Teams

© Joint Commission Resources Project RED Oversight “Steering” Committee  Vision  Mandate Improvement  Identify Champions  Receive and Review Updates

© Joint Commission Resources Selecting the Right Projects  Aligned to core hospital-wide strategies  Standardized project metrics will roll up to organization’s balanced scorecard  Contain a manageable scope  Address customer and stakeholder needs  Create sustainable improvement

© Joint Commission Resources Emphasize Process, Focus on Results  What really matters to the organization? – achieve bottom line results  Can we measure the impact of the project?  How much has the project contributed this year and will contribute in future years?

© Joint Commission Resources Project Champion  Communicates the Vision  Selects Project & Scope  Selects Candidates for Training  Reviews Projects Weekly  Removes Barriers and Supplies Resources

© Joint Commission Resources The Project Team

© Joint Commission Resources Project Team Leader  Becomes educated in PI tools  Is a competent and confident facilitator  Is objective and neutral to the process  Facilitates an organized plan for the team  Is results focused

© Joint Commission Resources Project Physician Champion  Communicates with Senior leaders  Communicates with Medical Staff  Provides physician perspective to the project team  Assists in the elimination of system barriers  For Project RED – believes in the intervention and value of improving discharge program

Discharge Advocate  Designed to oversee patient discharge preparation  Coordinates all discharge activities within patient population  Facilitates team activities and discharge planning rounds with primary MD  Collects discharge focused data  Assures completion of AHCP and demonstrated learning by the patient

Discharge Advocate (DA)  Is notified when patients in target population are admitted/diagnosed  Initiates action steps associated with Project RED  Initiates Patient Care Plan  Educates patient and family about condition, medications, other treatments, post discharge plans, and follow up ordered by the physician  Reviews Patient Care Plan with patient and family  Collects measurement data specific to project and patient population

© Joint Commission Resources Patient’s Physician  Initiates patient plan of care based on critical pathway  Leads and/or participates in discharge planning rounds  Communicates potential date of discharge  Supports the performance improvement process

© Joint Commission Resources Pharmacist  Verify physician orders  Reconcile admission meds with meds from home  Collaborate with care team specific to discharge needs  Reconcile meds upon discharge  Assist with patient medication questions

As a team, consider the following questions:  Is our project scope manageable?  Do we have PI structure including oversight steering committee, project champion, DA, Pharmacist, team members, team leader, scheduled dates, times and resources needed for the meetings?  Have we alerted ad hoc resources such as finance, medical records, IT, education dept, etc as needed?  What is missing and who will be responsible?

© Joint Commission Resources Develop the Team Project Charter  Establish team members  Identify key stakeholders  Determine the problem statement  Determine the AIM statement (mission)  Identify patient and organizational benefits  Establish project targets and milestones  Acquire senior leadership sanctioning

Sample Team Charter

© Joint Commission Resources Define your current state:  Initiate a high level process map  Multidisciplinary participation  Patient admission is the starting point  After hospital care provision is the ending point  Ask each discipline what steps they take to prepare the patient for discharge

© Joint Commission Resources Your current state may look like this…

© Joint Commission Resources

Once the process map is completed…  Analyze the work flow in the eyes of the patient  What defects exist? Where are communication breakdowns, failure to hand off information?  Where do the delays occur?  What are your Project RED gaps?  Do we have omission, selection, documentation, communication, administration failures?  What steps in this process would our patient be willing to “pay for”?

© Joint Commission Resources Establish your Gap Analysis Sample Current State Process  Discharge order  Discharge Instruction Form  Discharge teaching on day of discharge  No Discharge Advocate  No appt scheduled  No post DC phone call  No PCP DC Summary Project RED components  Med Reconciliation  National guideline used  Follow up Appointment  Outstanding Tests  Post DC services  Written DC Care Plan  Emergency Contact  Patient Education  Demonstrated Learning  DC Summary to PCP  Post DC Phone Call

© Joint Commission Resources

Metrics to Assess Impact  Timeliness of Project RED activities  Completion of patient care plan (thoroughness)  Outcomes –Readmission rates –Patient satisfaction with preparation for discharge –Staff satisfaction –Cost

© Joint Commission Resources Team Activities:  Discuss high level process map comparison  Determine when you will draw/redraw your high level map  What failures are you predicting?  What measurements do you have in place?

© Joint Commission Resources QUESTIONS ABOUT PROJECT PLANNING?

© Joint Commission Resources RED Checklist Eleven mutually reinforcing components: 1. Medication reconciliation 2. Reconcile discharge plan with national guidelines 3. Follow-up appointments 4. Outstanding tests 5. Post-discharge services 6. Written discharge plan 7. What to do if problem arises 8. Patient education 9. Assess patient understanding 10. Discharge summary sent to PCP 11.Telephone reinforcement Adopted by National Quality Forum as one of 30 US "Safe Practices" (SP-15)

© Joint Commission Resources 11 RED Components Enable Discharge Advocates to:  Prepare patients for hospital discharge  Help patients safely transition from hospital to home  Promote patient self-health management  Support patients after discharge through follow-up phone call

Discharge Planning Rounds

© Joint Commission Resources Generating the Patient Care Plan  “Manual” – use of template for discharge advocate (DA) to enter all required data  Provide template to your IT department and request that they integrate with existing systems  May wish to or have already purchased discharge planning software which is integrated with your existing systems

AHRQ Template for Care Plan  Free, downloadable, fill-able PDF form  Based on Project RED After- Hospital Care Plan  Store on your server for easy access by D.A.  Integrate with your current systems as able  Hard copies available from AHRQ

© Joint Commission Resources Compare Discharge Information LIST CURRENT STATE  Patient Name/Diagnosis  List of DC medications  Review of prescriptions  Dietary recommendations  Activity limitations  Post DC appointment if known WHAT ARE WE MISSING? Patient Care Plan Sections  Individual hard copy care plan (language specific)  Medication calendars in lay terms  Daily morning, afternoon and evening meds identified  Patient questions list  Scheduled follow up appointments  Pending tests and results  Location of appointments

© Joint Commission Resources Eliminate Documentation Time and Re-writes  Ideally, information should flow from the medical record to the care provider that needs it.  Ideally, information should flow from one practice setting to another  Ideally, information that is documented can be time stamped and assessed for accuracy  Ideally, the Patient Care Plan could be automated and flow to the hands of the care team and patient

© Joint Commission Resources Communication and Coordination with the PCP The hospital discharge process is often characterized by poor communication and a lack of coordination between the hospital and the PCP. When patients are discharged, they often do not know what medications their physicians have prescribed, when their follow up appointments should take place, and, in some cases, why they were hospitalized in the first place.

© Joint Commission Resources Primary Care Physician Referral Base Leaders will identify the PCP referral base PCP satisfaction will be assessed prior to project launch Physician champion will communicate with PCPs about project PCPs will advise how to handle their off shift and weekend patient needs LEADERSHIP PRIORITY!

© Joint Commission Resources The Post Discharge Phone Call  Define who will call your patient after discharge  Define when the follow up call will be made  Develop script for caller  Remember to develop the process for off shifts and weekends

Module 1: Summary Expected Outcomes  Develop your infrastructure that will promote communication, understanding of team progress, and documentation of the Patient Care Plan  Review the roles of executive sponsor, project team leader, discharge advocate, physician champion and pharmacist in the redesigned discharge process  Develop a systematic performance improvement process that will facilitate knowledge transfer and sustainable change  Embed Project RED key principles, including application of the patient care plan, communication with PCPs and implementing post DC phone calls
