Causes of Re-hospitalizations From LTCFs Top reasons for re-admission from LTC facility to a community hospital: CHF 31% UTI 28% Renal Failure 27% Pneumonia 23% COPD 23% Source: Ouslander JG. Journal of the American Medical Directors Association, March 2011. “CHF, respiratory infection, UTI, sepsis, and electrolyte imbalance account for 78% of 30 day rehospitalizations from SNFs” Source: Unpublished MedPAC data cited by Mor V. Health Affairs, January 2010
Why This Project Matters 1-3 million serious infections annually in LTC facilities Approximately 380,000 residents die of infections each year UTIs are one of the most common HAls in LTC facilities Infections are among the most frequent causes of transfer and re-admissions from LTC facilities to acute care hospitals High prevalence of urinary catheters in hospital patients transferred to LTC facilities Improving safety and quality of life for residents and their families is our overall aim!
What’s in it for LTC Facilities? Improve care and resident/family satisfaction Align with CMS 11th SOW/QAPI and Advancing Excellence Strengthen all staff members’ infection prevention knowledge and skills, using evidence-based content and training materials Earn CNE credits Avoid penalties for violations of F 315 and F 441 Reduce staff workload burden Maintain higher census from lower mortality, hospitalization Prepare for value-based purchasing
How Will LTC Facilities Benefit From Participation Potential to: Improve the Nursing Home Compare Quality Measures Enhance data collection skills and prepare for mandatory reporting of infection data (NHSN) Benchmark against other LTC facilities (project-level and nationally) Improve communication and relationships with referring hospitals that may results in reduced readmissions Improve compliance with survey requirements related to quality of care, infection control, etc.
Project Goals Primary Goals—reduce HAIs/CAUTI and improve safety culture Develop/adapt evidence-based CAUTI elimination and safety practices and resources for LTCFs Reduce CAUTIs and HAIs Improve safety culture Secondary Goals—support expanded infection prevention efforts for C. diff, UTI, MDROs, etc. by providing education to: Improve hygiene practices (hand, environmental) Promote antibiotic stewardship Promote catheter stewardship Reduce re-hospitalizations
Project Spread 539 Facilities Actively Participated in Cohorts 1-4 Aim to involve all 50 states, D.C. and Puerto Rico Cohort 1 (63 facilities) Cohort 2 (142 facilities) Cohort 3 (215 facilities) Cohort 4 (119 facilities and counting!) PR
