LCC Overview Longitudinal Coordination of Care Workgroup* Providing subject matter expertise and coordination of SWGs Developing systems view to identify interoperability gaps and prioritize activities Longitudinal Coordination of Care Workgroup* Longitudinal Care Plan Sub-Workgroup LTPAC Care Transition Sub-Workgroup Patient Assessment Summary Sub-Workgroup Near-Term: Developing an implementation guide to standardize the exchange of Form CMS-485 (Home Health Certification and Plan of Care) Long-Term: Identify and develop a longitudinal care plan spanning multiple care settings Identifying the key business and technical challenges that inhibit long-term care data exchanges Defining data elements for long-term and post-acute care (LTPAC) information exchange and using a single standard for LTPAC transfer summaries Establishing the standards for the exchange of patient assessment summary documents Inform the development of the Keystone Beacon Patient Assessment Summary Document Exchange. Inform HL7 balloting of LTPAC-specific enhancements to the C-CDA * 75 interested parties, including 28 active, committed members
Observations on progress to date Excellent progress: Keystone Feedback on PAS CCD RTI Data feedback Input on CMS HL7 Balloting Use Case – Gap Analysis, Scoping and Functional/ Data Requirements Complexity Broad view of trading partner community Many types of transitions and roles of receivers Focus Challenges External Drivers Multiple Demands Coordination Challenges Separate SWGs Lack of cohesive overall plan
Related Work Streams S&I Process - Use Case/ Requirements to Advance interoperability for the LTPAC community. Building on the ToC Initiative work and ToC V1.1 Use Case as a foundation for LCC S&I process (Use Case, Harmonization, IG) provides actionable implementation path for the LTPAC community LLC WG would like implementable specifications to support pilots before the end of 2012 Influence and impact ongoing policy discussions LCC WG has a strong set of LTPAC interoperability policy stakeholders at the table White paper would allow for the articulation of a vision and objectives that would be in a format that is familiar to policy-makers. Support specific WG objectives Continue to use LCC WG as the working forum to support the Challenge, Beacon and VNSNY project objectives Project-specific deliverables based on Challenge, Beacon and other requirements Serve as a platform for responding to important and related standards activities Care/ CMS collaboration with HL7 and S&I LCC WG Standardization of Content for Functional Status, Cognitive Status and Pressure Ulcer work (C-CDA structure review, Data Elements Review) Impacting a variety of Assessment Instruments (MDS, OASIS, CARE, etc…) All LCC SWGs as well as the LTPAC community at large, looks to leverage the standards work emerging from this collaboration Analysis-supporting deliverables
White Paper Detailed articulation of environment Detailed articulation of current efforts Vision for Longitudinal Coordination of Care - Roadmap Extend Baseline to other care settings Extend interoperability interchanges and system functions to more sophisticated care processes, e.g. CDS Articulate how S&I first LCC Use Case (HHA) supports overall vision and roadmap for incrementally building trading-partner specific Use Cases Standards-improvement roadmap NPRM response and implications Use White Paper to manage any unanticipated complexity What else??
Use Case Content Guidance Requirements document for use by business/ clinical analysts to hand-off to technical implementers Document designed for business and technical implementers (not policy makers) Get the best possible coverage of likely overall data elements with the least number of specifically defined transactions Use Baseline Use Case to replicate for other care settings, e.g., IRF, BH, and to add scenarios and more sophisticated process transactions and content

Strawman Proposal for Use Case An evidence-based approach to supporting LTPAC needs
MA DPH Universal Transfer Form 4/22/2017 MA DPH Universal Transfer Form Started with DPH’s 3-pg Discharge Form Sought input from LTPAC “receivers” Reviewed existing forms and datasets: MDS OASIS IRF-PAI INTERACT Sought expert opinions Resulted in 7-page UTF
Massachusetts Paper UTF Pilot 4/22/2017 Massachusetts Paper UTF Pilot Too Long! Already done. Found to be too long. Need to define subsets for various transitions
UTF Data Element Survey 46 Organizations completing evaluation ~300 Data elements evaluated 1135 Transition surveys completed
11 Types of Organizations
4/22/2017 12 User Roles
Findings from UTF Survey Largest survey of Receivers’ needs Identified for each transitions which data elements are required, optional, or not needed Each of the 300+ data elements is valuable to at least one type of Receiver Many data elements are not valuable in certain care transition Paper form can’t represent these needs
11x11 Sender (left column) to Receiver (top) Sender-Receiver grid. 11x11. The sites across the top are the same as those down the left hand column. The result is a 121 cell grid. It includes the traditional PAC sites: LTACs, IRFs, SNFs, HHA, Hospice. And some “non-traditional” PAC sites including the PCP in the office, Community Based Service providers, the ASAPs, and most importantly, the Patient and Family at home. At the other end of the grid are three Acute Care Hospital sites that send the most patients to PAC and receive the most patients from PAC sites: the in-patient unit, ED and outpatient testing and treatment areas. The grid could have easily been enlarged to include outpatient therapy, pharmacists, ALFs, foster homes, and many other sites. We proceeded on the assumption that data sets identified for these high volume transitions would likely include the information required by the lower volume transitiions. Every site is both a “sender” and a “receiver” The next task was to prioritize among these 121 possible transitions. For this we applied three parameters, each ranked high, medium and low. The first was volume. The second, the clinical instability of the patient. And the third, the time-value or “Acuity” of the information. How quickly did the receiver need the information. These are clinical parameters. We could have gotten a different result using cost data. Applying these parameters results in my favorite grid where red is high, yellow medium and blue low. The transitions on this grid, then look like this. NEXT 17
Black circles = highest priority Green circles = high priority Prioritize Transitions by Volume, Clinical Instability and Time-Value of Information Cells with three “red” (=high) scores are highest priority. Those with two “high” scores are next. (Medium is “yellow” and “low” is blue). Using this approach, there are 16 highest priority transitions and 33 high priority transitions out of 121. The black and grey cells are very rare and not scored. I don’t expect to be able to read this grid but there are three priority areas: on the left are the transfers FROM PAC to the ACH, across the top are transitions FROM the ACH to PAC sites, and in the middle are transitions among PAC sites. Pulling the colors out gives the following grid with black as highest and green as next highest transitions. NEXT Black circles = highest priority Green circles = high priority 18
Prioritize Transitions by Volume, Clinical Instability and Time-Value of Information 49 Documents Is Too Many! Here are the priority transitions based on the criteria in the title. The individual scoring of each cell has been removed leaving only the “circle”. The next grid indicates the essential receiver “roll-groups” Black circles = highest priority Green circles = high priority 19
