2
Coordination of Care Task Goals
Promote Effective Communication and Coordination of Care
Reduce hospital readmission rates in the Medicare program by 20% by 2019 Reduce hospital admissions rates in the Medicare program by 20% by 2019
Increase community tenure, as evidenced by increased number of nights spent at home, for Medicare beneficiaries by 10% by 2019
Reduce the prevalence of adverse drug events (ADEs) that contribute to significant patient harm, emergency department visits, observation stays, hospital admissions or readmissions occurring as a result of the care transitions process
● Anticoagulants
● Hypoglycemic Agents
● Opioids
4
IPRO Drug Safety overview
NYS Anticoagulation Coalition Appropriate DOAC use – included in utilization reports
Effective EHR utilization – manuscript published
Peri-procedural utilization of all anticoagulants – MAP tool (app under development)
Pain Management Task Force Reducing opioid-related adverse drug events (ADEs)
Hypoglycemia agent Task Force Reducing hypoglycemia-related ADEs
5
PARADE Initiative – 2014 Pilot study and results Evidence-based system improvements were applied
to Anticoagulation Discharge Communication and Med Rec on Admission according to site-specific baseline results
Significant improvement in communication of requisite anticoagulation-related elements to subsequent provider upon transfer/discharge:
All facilities (16%, 95% CI 11.6%-20.3%)
Hospitals (8%, 95% CI 1.2%-15.2%)
SNFs (19%, 95% CI 12.7%- 25.8%)
Significant improvement in completion of medication reconciliation processes upon admission in SNFs (21.2%, 95% CI 9.6%- 31.9%)
7
PARADE Initiative
QIOs are directed by CMS in the 11th Statement of Work (11SoW- 2015-2019) to:
Establish relationships and collaborations in the community to coordinate provider communication and medication management across care settings with a patient centered focus
Help providers utilize new or existing evidence-based tools and practices to improve the care of those prescribed high risk medications, specifically anticoagulants, diabetic agents and opioids
Use health information technology to screen for and prevent ADEs in Medicare beneficiaries
8
PARADE Objectives
To identify patients at risk of experiencing ADEs due to high risk medication use following hospital discharge
To identify hospital readmissions and emergency department visits associated with high risk drug exposure
To evaluate the post-discharge medication use system across care settings and identify opportunities for system improvements
To facilitate the implementation and serial evaluation of evidence-based intervention strategies
10
PARADE Strategy Process measures – All facilities/healthcare providers
Small, low-impact audits of medication reconciliation processes and high risk drug discharge communication (5-10 charts, retrospective)
Serial evaluation to guide improvements
Goal: measureable improvement in adherence to audit criteria
Interventions
Evidence based interventions according to site-specific results
Outcome measures – Hospitals only
Readmissions due to ADEs using data from electronic health record data (hospital) and claims data (IPRO)
Serial evaluation to identify improvements
Goal: Demonstrate measureable improvement over 5 year scope of work
11
PARADE Strategy Based on 6 month improvement cycles
Cross setting work will be achieved within each care transition coalition Medication Management Committee monthly meetings
Eligible facilities: hospitals, skilled nursing facilities (SNF), rehabilitation facilities, home healthcare services/agencies (HHA), residential facilities, adult homes, pharmacies (hospital, community, SNF vendors, etc.)
Participating individuals are administrators, physicians, nurses, pharmacists (including SNF consultant pharmacists), quality improvement professionals, discharge planners, HHA hospital liaisons, etc.
Cycle 1 was January 6, 2015 – June 30, 2015 All facilities focused on Medication Reconciliation and Anticoagulation
Discharge Communication
12
PARADE Strategy
Cycle 2 is September 2015 – February 2016 Continue to work on ADE hospital readmission measure,
high risk drug discharge communication and med rec improvement processes (expanding to discharge)
Expand to medication management of hypoglycemics, opioids, other (e.g. antibiotics)
IPRO is currently convening subject matter experts to provide guidance on best practices for management across care settings during transitions
Subsequent Cycle work will focus on continued evidence based improvements, sustainability and applicable cross-setting emerging measures
13
PARADE Process Measures: Audit Methods
Medication Reconciliation on Admission Audit Medication Discrepancy Tool
Anticoagulation Discharge Communication Audit Anticoagulation Information Discovery Tool
15
Additional Ad Hoc Anticoagulation Measure- Warfarin Time in Therapeutic Range
Designed for skilled nursing facilities, outpatient clinics and others that serve population over long term

Outcomes: ADE Surveillance Process - Hospitals
Remeasure quarterly after baseline is completed
Secure data transfer protocol utilized
ADE Surveillance: Hospital Engagement
Total hospitals engaged: 27 Already sharing complete data: 6*
Represents 22,380 unique Medicare Fee for Service Beneficiaries discharged from participating hospitals on ≥ 1 high risk drug and screened for ADEs
Anticoagulant potential ADEs - 104
Opioid potential ADEs - 55
Hypoglycemic potential ADEs - 9
Beginning test data query: 4* Agreed to share data: 17Hospitals currently participating in CT communities

HealthAlliance of the Hudson Valley, Kingston, NY Medication Reconciliation Risk Reduction Strategies
Identified ASU staff were provided additional training on how to
enter home medications in the EMR to generate a “clean” medication reconciliation. No free texting!
Orthopedics -aggressive education with Medical Staff on steps to complete medication reconciliation utilizing the EMR. Informatics staff assisted MD with 1:1 concurrent training
Set up touch points with MD to address any concerns identified with use of medication reconciliation process
Sole use of the EMR for medication reconciliation. No more paper!
26
HealthAlliance of the Hudson Valley, Kingston, NY Medication Reconciliation Risk Reduction Strategies
Identified continued: The Emergency Department created dedicated resource
called “Clinical Data Specialist”
This position is staffed with an a Pharmacy Tech or LPN. They are required to enter into the hospital EMR all of the “Home Medications” for all patients admitted.
Two sources must be utilized to reconcile the list of home medications
The patient’s list
Call pharmacy
Calling the patient’s MD
Reviewing the list from the ER EMR
