The PPS is working with partners to provide education on primary PC skills to staff, monitor clinical quality metrics associated with pain management and advance directives, and engage patients and caregivers in PC services. DSRIP Year Engaged Partners Patients (NF & Hospice) Year 1 1, 076 22 Queens Boulevard Extended Care April 2015 - March 2016 Background Year 2 The New York State Delivery System Reform Incentive Payment Program (NYS DSRIP) aims to reduce avoidable hospitalizations (PPA) and emergency department (PPV) visits for Medicaid Beneficiaries. This initiative aims at reducing PPAs & PPVs by integrating primary palliative care (PC) practices into SNFs, clarifying goals of care and options, addressing pain and other symptoms, thus patients may require less hospital readmissions. April 2016 - June 2016 598 20 EPEC training began in Feb. 2016, offers 2 modules per session, with different SNFs volunteering to host the training. Six modules have been taught thus far, with positive feedback and attendance. St. Mary’s Healthcare System for Children Methods New York Center for Rehabilitation & Nursing Systems-level intervention initiated by NYP/Q Performing Provider System (PPS) to engage & collaborate with community SNFs to provide primary PC services to seriously ill residents. NYP/Q PPS contracted with SNFs & hospices, developed partnerships with community resources to bring PC support-services into SNFs. PPS engaged NH staff and PC champions in AMA’s Education on Palliative and End-of-Life Care (EPEC) trainings to increase role-appropriate competence and comfort in PC skills; CME / CEU credits provided for attendance. PPS promoted the use of advance directives tools, e. g. , Medical Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatments (MOLST & e-MOLST). Fairview Nursing Care Center Parker Jewish Institute Elmhurst Nursing Home Union Plaza Nursing Home Ozanam Hall Conclusion Next Steps DSRIP is an innovative NYS initiative to improve care, offer the opportunity to get appropriate care in the most familiar setting, reduce avoidable hospitalizations and ED visits. NYP/Q PPS formed a coalition of SNFs and hospice agencies, and engage patients in PC. Identify and engage PC champions at each SNF and hospice agency. Pilot PCOS (Palliative Care Outcome Scale) tool at a partner NH, with goal of rolling out to all 27 SNFs by the end of Year 2. Provide supportive basic education to SNF physicians.
New Model: Integrating Palliative Care Across Care Settings Marta Kazandjian, MA CCC SLP BCS-S Maureen Peters, ACSW, LCSW, ACHP-SW; Fernando Kawai, MD, FACP; John Zaravinos, MD; Michael Gale, MD; Cynthia X Pan, MD, AGSF, FACP BACKGROUND METHOD Seriously ill patients with complex medical problems undergo many transitions across hospital and NH. These patients experience reduced continuity of care as important goals of care information may not be transmitted. Silvercrest Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation (SCNR) is a 320 bed post acute facility that contains 90+ vent/ pulmonary beds, with chronically, critically ill patients at high risk for recurrent admissions. SCNR is closely affiliated with New York Presbyterian/Queens (NYPQ) where the hospice & palliative medicine (HPM) fellowship is based. Prospective study of seriously ill patients referred for palliative care consults at (SCNR) from August 2015 to June 2016. Each week, NYPQ physicians (palliative care attending and fellow) along with NH-IDT members (SW, speech pathologist, NP, dietician, CNA, integrative health coach) provided PC consults at the request of primary care physicians. The team provided pain and symptom assessment and management, goals of care reviews, family meetings, and options for withdrawing burdensome life support measures if consistent with patient/family goals. We used the hospital HPM fellowship training model to link the interdisciplinary team (IDT) in the NH to the palliative care IDT at the hospital. ACGME mandates NH rotation for HPM fellows. A typical rotation in a NH would be brief, e. g. , one month. We chose a longer, longitudinal experience (weekly, half-day, rotation over a year) to provide continuity for both patients and physicians. This exposure allowed fellows to develop relationships and continue goals of care discussions as patients transferred between NH and hospital, as their disease progressed. This also allowed conversations to continue when initiated at either site when patient/families were not ready to make decisions. OBJECTIVES 1) To illustrate a unique model for integrated palliative care services across NH and hospital. It uses HPM fellowship rotations to foster IDT relationships between hospitals, fellowship programs and NHs. 2) To measure number of hospitalizations among NH patients before and after IDT palliative care consults. 3) To measure the number of advance directives completed in NH patients before and after palliative care consults. RESULTS A total of 61 seriously ill patients (29 M, 32 F) received palliative care consults, resulting in 115 total visits during the study period. RESULTS CONCLUSION The increasing recognition of the role of palliative care provided many opportunities to improve patient experience and family satisfaction. This HPM fellowship training model provided enhanced continuity of care and IDT collaboration between hospital and NH. It also provided more opportunity to educate and implement positive culture change toward recognizing the role of comprehensive palliative care and strengthening community healthcare relationships. This interdisciplinary model reduced avoidable hospitalizations and increase advance directives completion.
Criteria for a Palliative Care Assessment at the Time of Hospital Admission… § A potentially life-limiting or life-threatening condition and. . . § Primary Criteria - The ‘‘surprise question’’: You would not be surprised if the patient died within 12 months - Frequent admissions (e. g. , more than one admission for same condition within several months) - Admission prompted by difficult-to-control physical or psychological symptoms (e. g. , moderate-to-severe symptom intensity for more than 24– 48 hours) - Complex care requirements (e. g. , functional dependency; complex home support for ventilator/antibiotics/feedings) - Decline in function, feeding intolerance, or unintended decline in weight (e. g. , failure to thrive) Weissman, DE: Consultation in Palliative Medicine. Archives in 30 Internal Medicine 1997
…Criteria for a Palliative Care Assessment at the Time of Admission § Secondary Criteria - Admission from long-term care facility or medical foster home - Elderly patient, cognitively impaired, with acute hip fracture - Metastatic or locally advanced incurable cancer - Chronic home oxygen use - Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest - Current or past hospice program enrollee - Limited social support (e. g. , family stress, chronic mental illness) - No history of completing an advance care planning discussion/document 31
What’s Next? . . . § Ongoing education to gain competencies - CAPC membership for DSRIP members § Online modules for all disciplines, with CME and CEUs - Ongoing education with community partners, such as hospice and home care agencies § Active participation and feedback in DSRIP measurement tools § E. g. PCOS – to fit NH patients’ needs § Needs Assessment - Check in – how are we doing at end of Year 1? 32
…What’s Next? § Set standards for national NH /LTC care model for palliative care - E. g. Dr Unroe (Indiana Univ. )- describe palliative care services in LTC - Advocate for value based payment models in LTC § Data Measurement § What should be screening criteria for palliative care in LTC? - Can we use MDS data? § What are important outcomes? - # of days spent at Home (NH) in last year of life § Advocate for system change - DOH NYS; CMS – Dr Patrick Conway - Quadruple Aim 33
