What process measures to use?
• % of patients given assessment for high
risk of readmission – Goal: 95%
• % of high-risk patients whose f/u visit is
scheduled within 7 days – Goal: 95%
• % of high risk patients who have a follow-
up phone call within 3 days – Goal: 95%
• % of high-risk patients who cannot be
reached – Goal: <5%
![Page 9: NoCVA Preventing Avoidable Readmissions Collaborative · PDF fileNoCVA Preventing Avoidable Readmissions Collaborative ... Readmit Rate (hospital-wide) ... hospital evaluate success](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062413/5aa4b3347f8b9ac8748c41ba/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Readmit Rate (hospital-wide)
• Source: claims; hospital does not submit
• Brief definition: All payer, all-cause readmission rate—every patient, every reason, every time
• Not the same as the Medicare readmit rates
• Not risk-adjusted
• Observation patients not included
• Data available roughly 6 months after close of quarter
![Page 10: NoCVA Preventing Avoidable Readmissions Collaborative · PDF fileNoCVA Preventing Avoidable Readmissions Collaborative ... Readmit Rate (hospital-wide) ... hospital evaluate success](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062413/5aa4b3347f8b9ac8748c41ba/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Unit/Population Readmit Rate
• Each hospital should calculate a readmit rate for the unit/population it is working with
– Work with your hospital resources—are there available reports which (roughly) track this population?
• Each hospital will define its readmit measure slightly differently
– Data will be used to track progress relative to your baseline, but not to compare hospitals
![Page 11: NoCVA Preventing Avoidable Readmissions Collaborative · PDF fileNoCVA Preventing Avoidable Readmissions Collaborative ... Readmit Rate (hospital-wide) ... hospital evaluate success](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062413/5aa4b3347f8b9ac8748c41ba/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Considerations for unit/population
readmit rates
• Include readmits back to any part of the hospital, not just back to your unit, if possible.
• Ideally, include readmits back to other hospitals (e.g., in your system).
• Talk to your hospital about how to handle same day ‘readmits’.
• Ideally, NoCVA suggests including observation patients.
![Page 12: NoCVA Preventing Avoidable Readmissions Collaborative · PDF fileNoCVA Preventing Avoidable Readmissions Collaborative ... Readmit Rate (hospital-wide) ... hospital evaluate success](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062413/5aa4b3347f8b9ac8748c41ba/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Timeframes?
• It is likely most hospitals will not have
good historical data on their
unit/population.
• If you have historical data, you have option
of entering back to 2010Q4.
– Allows better trending
![Page 13: NoCVA Preventing Avoidable Readmissions Collaborative · PDF fileNoCVA Preventing Avoidable Readmissions Collaborative ... Readmit Rate (hospital-wide) ... hospital evaluate success](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062413/5aa4b3347f8b9ac8748c41ba/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Readmit rates for unit/population (cont.)
• Big picture:
– Use available hospital resources
– It’s okay if your internal readmit report doesn’t perfectly capture your specific unit/population
– Don’t get bogged down in readmit details—key question is whether your hospital can build/track a measure which will show movement in response to the work you do with this population/unit. You want feedback for your PI work!

% of patients given assessment for
high risk of readmission
• Numerator: # of patients discharged from
pilot unit or population who have been
given assessment for high risk
• Denominator: All patients discharged from
pilot unit/population
Goal: 95% of patients will be assessed
![Page 16: NoCVA Preventing Avoidable Readmissions Collaborative · PDF fileNoCVA Preventing Avoidable Readmissions Collaborative ...

Measure details
• Sampling is permitted, but discouraged
– If sampling: Report on 25 pts per month or
10% of patients on unit/population, whichever
is greater
• Include observation patients, if they are
seen on your unit or part of your
population
![Page 17: NoCVA Preventing Avoidable Readmissions Collaborative · PDF fileNoCVA Preventing Avoidable Readmissions Collaborative ... Readmit Rate (hospital-wide) ... hospital evaluate success](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062413/5aa4b3347f8b9ac8748c41ba/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
% of high risk patients whose f/u visit is
scheduled within 7 days
• Numerator: Patients in pilot unit/population
who are at high risk and are scheduled for
a f/u physician visit within 7 days of
discharge
• Denominator: Number of patients who are
at high risk in pilot unit/population
![Page 18: NoCVA Preventing Avoidable Readmissions Collaborative · PDF fileNoCVA Preventing Avoidable Readmissions Collaborative ...

Measure details
• 7 days = 7 calendar days
• Patients who die in hospital may be
excluded from this measure
• Hospice, transfer, and AMA patients
should be included if they are assessed at
high risk
![Page 19: NoCVA Preventing Avoidable Readmissions Collaborative · PDF fileNoCVA Preventing Avoidable Readmissions Collaborative ... Readmit Rate (hospital-wide) ... hospital evaluate success](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062413/5aa4b3347f8b9ac8748c41ba/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Measure details
• What if next site of care is responsible for making f/u appointment?
• Hospital can count patient as having f/u visit scheduled if:
– Hospital tells the next site of care that pt is high risk for readmitting
– Hospital tells next site of care that patient needs f/u within 7 days
– Hospital reasonably believes next site of care will act on this recommendation
![Page 20: NoCVA Preventing Avoidable Readmissions Collaborative · PDF fileNoCVA Preventing Avoidable Readmissions Collaborative ... Readmit Rate (hospital-wide) ... hospital evaluate success](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062413/5aa4b3347f8b9ac8748c41ba/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Follow-Up Phone Call within 3 days
• Numerator: # of high risk patients who
receive a follow-up phone call (or home
visit) within 3 days of discharge
• Denominator: Number of high risk patients
on pilot unit/population
![Page 21: NoCVA Preventing Avoidable Readmissions Collaborative · PDF fileNoCVA Preventing Avoidable Readmissions Collaborative ... Readmit Rate (hospital-wide) ... hospital evaluate success](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062413/5aa4b3347f8b9ac8748c41ba/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Measure details
• Patients who die while in hospital can be excluded
• 3 days = 3 business days
• If patient is discharged to next site of care, they can be counted as receiving a phone call—provided next site of care is informed the patient is at high risk of readmission
• In some cases, a party other than the hospital may be responsible for making these calls. In this case, the hospital can count the call as having been made—provided the hospital has done some due diligence to verify that the third party is actually conducting these calls.
![Page 22: NoCVA Preventing Avoidable Readmissions Collaborative · PDF fileNoCVA Preventing Avoidable Readmissions Collaborative ... Readmit Rate (hospital-wide) ... hospital evaluate success](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062413/5aa4b3347f8b9ac8748c41ba/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Measure details
• Ideally, use best practices for phone calls,
e.g. ask patient when is best time to call.
![Page 23: NoCVA Preventing Avoidable Readmissions Collaborative · PDF fileNoCVA Preventing Avoidable Readmissions Collaborative ... Readmit Rate (hospital-wide) ... hospital evaluate success](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062413/5aa4b3347f8b9ac8748c41ba/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Patients Who Cannot Be Reached
• Numerator: # of high risk patients who
were called two or more times, but could
not be reached for f/u phone call or home
visit within 3 days of discharge
• Denominator: Number of high-risk patients
on the unit/population
![Page 24: NoCVA Preventing Avoidable Readmissions Collaborative · PDF fileNoCVA Preventing Avoidable Readmissions Collaborative ... Readmit Rate (hospital-wide) ... hospital evaluate success](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062413/5aa4b3347f8b9ac8748c41ba/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Measure details
• Patients who die in hospital can be
excluded from this measure
• This measure is designed to help your
hospital evaluate success of your efforts to
reach patients by phone
– Are there challenges to get phone calls made
reliably?
– Are staff making the calls, but just not
reaching patients?

Questions? Comments?
• Some of these measures are new—there are things we haven’t thought of.
– Your feedback makes these better and more meaningful!
• It is good to have questions—but we want them before the June 18th in-person meeting.
– Your first data is due July 20th, so you will be data-collecting during June.
• Questions can go to coaches, Dean, Laura or myself: Erica Preston-Roedder [email protected]

Data Submission Timeline
• Process measures
– First submission July 20th (June data)
– Subsequent submissions monthly
• Readmit rate by unit/population
– First submission on August 20 (April, May, and June data)
– Okay to submit historical data back to 2010, if desired
– Subsequent submissions monthly if possible, quarterly if necessary
![Page 28: NoCVA Preventing Avoidable Readmissions Collaborative · PDF fileNoCVA Preventing Avoidable Readmissions Collaborative ... Readmit Rate (hospital-wide) ... hospital evaluate success](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062413/5aa4b3347f8b9ac8748c41ba/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Note: readmit rates & 30 day look-forward
• For process measures, June data is due July 20th.
• But for readmit rate, June data is due August 20th.
• Why?
– Readmit requires 30-day look-forward, i.e. June discharges may readmit in July. You will not have full readmit data until July 31, so NoCVA does not ask for submission until Aug 20.

How do you make your data work for you?
You have two jobs…
• How can I collect &
report meaningful data
to NoCVA?
• What is my team
actually going to do
make this data
meaningful to our PI
efforts?

Making use of your data
• Collection: Who will collect it & how?
• Make use of data:
– Where/how report? To the staff, to senior leaders, etc.?
– Who is responsible for investigating any process or outcome measure gaps, e.g. who will find out WHY telephone calls aren’t being made? (Or, who is responsible for reviewing reports and identifying gaps for PI?)
– What are our internal team targets? Which measures are we focused on first?
