State Veteran’s Homes: Not Your “Average” Nursing Home
Turning data into information and knowledge into practice
![Page 2: Christie tiegland state_veterans_homes_not_your_average_nursing_home](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052623/559b703a1a28ab4b778b46fd/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)

Use of Information Technology for Decision Support Is A Key Survival Strategy
To Meet Increasing Regulatory and Public Scrutiny

Your Challenges
Too much data Too little information Too little time to analyze the data Too many best-practice protocols to
remember and apply at the resident level Too many issues to identify and address
with the right protocols for the right resident at the right time
EQUIP informatics can help with an evidence- based, data-driven approach to care

EQUIP for Quality®
The only QM/QI software with complete drill down analysis:
→ national and state level → facility level → unit level (UNIQUE!)→ resident level (individualized risk profiles)
reports and graphs use the most current clinical assessment information available
Supports an evidence-based approach to inter-disciplinary, coordinated care
Focus on actionable items that improve resident outcomes, save time, enhance revenue, enable compliance with regulators and avoid litigation

Examples of warnings:
•Resident has limitations in ROM and no OT or PT and no nursing restorative—resident may benefit from restorative program.
•Resident has pressure ulcer and NO turning/positioning program?

Do the Medicare Math!
RUX = $564.83 RUL = $496.04
$68.79/day x 20 assessments/month x 30 days/assessment = $41,274/month
= $495,288 /year / facility
*Based on FY 2006 federal urban rates
One coding error can cost the facility thousands of $$

Population Benchmarks Are Critical!
Using CMS Benchmarks results in
Missed opportunities to improve outcomes in care areas with higher occurrences than average nursing home population.
Missed opportunities to show superior care provided in State Veteran’s Homes nationwide.
![Page 18: Christie tiegland state_veterans_homes_not_your_average_nursing_home](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052623/559b703a1a28ab4b778b46fd/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Appropriate Benchmark Data for Comparison Purposes Are Critical
Facility QM rates are not meaningful without some standard for comparison.
What standard of comparison?
Rates can vary widely based on resident characteristics and risk factors unless quality measures are risk adjusted.
Statewide and regional benchmark rates vary dramatically.
![Page 29: Christie tiegland state_veterans_homes_not_your_average_nursing_home](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052623/559b703a1a28ab4b778b46fd/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
29
Facility rate is
Facility rate is BELOW both state and national CMS
benchmark so outcome would not flag as potential issue.
BUT…facility rate is well above Vet’s Homes benchmark and
presents a quality of care issue that should be
addressed!
![Page 30: Christie tiegland state_veterans_homes_not_your_average_nursing_home](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052623/559b703a1a28ab4b778b46fd/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

Control Chart
Control charts are effective quality management tools for health care organizations by helping to determine whether a process is:
“In control”—process is stable with only common cause variation; or
“Out of control”—process is unstable as special cause variation exists.
![Page 33: Christie tiegland state_veterans_homes_not_your_average_nursing_home](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052623/559b703a1a28ab4b778b46fd/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

34
Process Improvements Special cause variation means process is no
longer predictable within normal ranges. Facility should not make any changes in the process
until the special cause is identified and eliminated.
When process is stable, can make changes to improve future outcomes
Under a stable process Productivity is maximized Costs are minimized Future outcomes and costs are predictable
![Page 35: Christie tiegland state_veterans_homes_not_your_average_nursing_home](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052623/559b703a1a28ab4b778b46fd/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Promote Safer Care Through Use of Proactive
Risk Assessment
![Page 36: Christie tiegland state_veterans_homes_not_your_average_nursing_home](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052623/559b703a1a28ab4b778b46fd/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
36
Healthcare is transitioning to a model of preventive focused care delivery.
This shift creates a huge opportunity to keep residents healthier and save costs.
Predictive modeling is used extensively by health plans and in acute care and use has grown dramatically over past two years.
NOW is the time for long term care to adopt this innovative strategy to bring your quality of care to the next level.
![Page 37: Christie tiegland state_veterans_homes_not_your_average_nursing_home](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052623/559b703a1a28ab4b778b46fd/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
37
Predictive Technology Improves Accuracy of Resident Risk
Assessment Predictive models use wealth of resident data
(current and historical) to provide highly accurate assessment of risk for future adverse outcomes:
The EQUIP models predict more than 80% of all future falls, fractures and undetected pain; and more than 75% of future pressure ulcers.
Far exceeds accuracy of manual risk assessment tools (e.g. Braden Scale)—uses many more risk factors and properly weights the contribution to risk

Predictive Technology Improves Accuracy of Resident Risk
Assessment EQUIP risk reports can help you
dramatically reduce long term adverse outcomes and utilization costs through early identification of high risk residents.
Risk scores allow you to stratify your population by risk levels and determine which residents have the greatest opportunity for achieving successful care interventions.

How does your facility use EQUIP?
We use EQUIP in each of our care plan meetings. We are able to look at it as a team to get a more complete picture of the resident.
It assists us with our CQI process especially in the area of skin integrity.
It is used for the quarterly CQI meeting with the Dean of Medicine at Stony Brook University Hospital.
It prepares us for reviews within the survey process.
![Page 57: Christie tiegland state_veterans_homes_not_your_average_nursing_home](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052623/559b703a1a28ab4b778b46fd/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
57
How does your facility use EQUIP? Utilize to follow our monthly CMS data – QM and
comparative data easy to access and much more timely Auditing tool utilizing the QM/QI and High Risk
reports Benchmarking tool for quality improvement
What has been the most helpful feature of EQUIP for your facility?
Ease in obtaining data Ability to sort data by unit and other ways Provision of links to access reference tools, websites
etc. Posting links to the CMS updates
![Page 58: Christie tiegland state_veterans_homes_not_your_average_nursing_home](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022052623/559b703a1a28ab4b778b46fd/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
58
Important differentiators to keep in mind:
EQUIP takes advantage of wealth of resident MDS assessment data already required to be collected --requires no new data collection or data entry.
EQUIP was developed in collaboration with and designed to be easily used by nursing staff
EQUIP provides access to experienced RNs who provide ongoing clinical support as part of the program (no extra cost for this valuable service)
EQUIP provides extensive policy info/updates and education
