  • Expanding Patient-Centred In-Home Physiotherapy Services

    to Support a Range of Patient Needs and Goals

    Central East CCAC

    Mississauga Halton CCAC Central West CCAC

  • Physiotherapy Reform

    The report, “Living Longer, Living Well” (Sinha 2012), promotes improved mobility for seniors to help them live safely and independently at home as long as possible. In response, the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care launched an initiative to reform PT services including in-home PT services. • CCACs: $33 million in annualized funding to expand the

    provision of in-home physiotherapy services to 60,000 seniors/other patients and clear the physiotherapy wait list

    • Falls Prevention and Exercise Classes: $10 million to provide exercise and falls prevention classes

    • Others: PT Clinics, Long Term Care Home and Primary Care Services

  • Transition from OHIP funded Physiotherapy Services

    Initial Priorities during the Transition Period • Eliminating waiting lists for in-home physiotherapy. • Identifying and transitioning patients receiving OHIP-funded

    physiotherapy (ended on August 21st, 2013). • Streaming to appropriate services

    In-home physiotherapy Exercise classes Falls prevention Other services

    Magnitude of the Transition CCACs and SPOs successfully collaborated to transition over 32,000 patients in over 1,000 sites across the province, bringing 23,300 on to care over a four month period.

    Goal-oriented Physiotherapy

    Patients needing long-term support to maintain function

    and prevent decline

    Patients who really need PSS services

    People who need referrals to other services (e.g., pain

    management)

    Assumptions prior to the transition

    Additional needs

  • Physiotherapy Advisory Panel Recommendations

    In June of 2013, an advisory panel was established to review the literature and recommend evidence-informed practices to support the development of new,

    patient-centred models of care.

    • Led by Cathy Hecimovich (CEO of Central West CCAC), membership included experts from geriatrics, the rehabilitation sector and the physiotherapy profession along with CCAC and OACCAC representatives.

    • Recommended a number of evidence-informed innovations including: • support for an expansion of PT scope of practice in home care, • integration of physiotherapist support personnel, • focus on outcome-focused service delivery to serve the needs of different in-home

    physiotherapy patient groupings, • self-management models.

    To operationalize the recommendations and support the needs of this new population, a provincial working group came together to develop the

    PT service delivery model of care.

    Independent Function

  • Patient-Centred, Evidence-Informed Care

    • Operationalization of the model of care for PT: • expands the capacity of in-home PT service delivery to address a range of

    patient needs and goals (rehabilitation, restorative and maintenance). • reinforces outcome-focused care delivery. • brings province-wide consistency to the delivery of in-home physiotherapy

    services while allowing for local variation. • enables the health care system to better support seniors to live as safely and

    independently as possible.

    • Ongoing work: • CCAC sites continue to engage locally with SPOs and retirement home

    operators to operationalize the recommendations. • OACCAC and CCACs continue to engage with provincial associations: ORCA,

    OCSA, OHCA, APACTS. • Implementation and testing continues: based on local needs and conditions,

    each CCAC is choosing to implement recommendations according to those needs.

  • Physiotherapy Reform and Physiotherapy Transition

    Phase 1, 2 and 3

    Central East CCAC

  • Our Task

    • “Soft Landing” for patients • Transitioning of 4000 Patients from

    Designated Physiotherapy Clinics (DPC) to CCAC

    • Ensuring Service Provider human resource capacity

    10

  • Phase I - Approach

    • Initiation of a Physiotherapy Steering Committee • Seconded an Internal Physiotherapist to provide

    expert advice to the steering committee • Early engagement of Service Provider Organizations

    (SPO) • Early engagement of Retirement Homes (RH) and

    Congregate Setting Administrators • Introduction of Physiotherapy Assistants (PTA’s)

    early in the transition

    11

  • Phase I - Approach, cont’d • Obtained patient lists from RH’s and existing

    DPC providers • Assigned patients to SPO based on pre-

    determined cluster care assignments • SPO assessment completed for each patient • Received recommendations from SPO

    regarding patient’s transition plan – exercise and falls prevention classes – continue with restorative care (up to 8

    weeks) 12

  • Phase I - Approach, cont’d

    • Registered all patients in CHRIS • Authorized services based on the SPO

    recommendation

    13

  • Phase I - Results, cont’d

    Physiotherapy Reform Statistics • 3972 patients received from the DPCs and

    registered with CECCAC • 3290 patients received treatment from

    CECCAC • 2270 referrals to exercise and Falls

    Prevention Programs • 104 patients removed from Physiotherapy

    waitlist

  • Phase I - What We Spent – Physiotherapy Reform

    • Weekly spend peaked w/o September 16 ’13 – at $137,679 – Total 3972 Patients

    17

  • Phase II - SPO Engagement • Utilizing data from Phase I

    – What is the future going to look like – Service Levels

    • Agreement by all SPO to utilize standardize assessment tools – Functional Assessment Matrix was

    developed • 3 restorative streams based on functional

    abilities assessments

    18

  • Phase II - Community Based Assessment Measures

    • Gait – Timed Up and Go (TUG) – 50 Ft Walking Test – Dynamic Gait

    • Pain – Visual Analog Scale (VAS)

    • Strength – Manual Muscle Testing

    19

  • Phase II - Community Based Assessment Measures cont’d

    • Balance – Functional Reach – BERG – Tinetti

    • Other – Elderly Mobility Scale (EMS) – Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand

    (DASH) – Barthel – Physical Performance Test (PPT)

    20

  • Phase II - Initial Restorative Streams

    • Stream A – Up to 12 Weeks – 3 PT/9PTA visits

    • CHRIS Stream 2 • Stream B – up to 24 weeks

    – 7 PT/17 PTA • CHRIS Stream 3A/B

    • Stream C – up to 32 weeks – 10 PT/25 PTA

  • Phase II - Functional Indicators (FI) Chart

    22

  • Phase II - What We Spent - Transition

    • Weekly spend peaked w/o December 16 ’13 – at $18K – Total 420 Patients (298 Maintain, 122 Restore)

    23

  • Phase II - Lessons Learned

    • Most patients did not require the full 32 weeks of service to meet their goals

    • Physiotherapists were not utilizing all of the assessment tools

    • Outcomes collected in existing Care Coordinator assessment tools need to be aligned with the new physiotherapy model

    24

  • Phase II – Refining the Model • Reduced the number of measurement

    tools used from 12 to 8 – TUG, Dynamic Gait – VAS – Berg, Tinetti – MMT – EMS, DASH

    • Aligned the streams with the Provincial restorative streams

    25

  • Phase III - Updated FI Chart Gait Pain Balance Strength Other

    Self Management Goal (Patient’s own goal)

  • Phase III - Total Spend

    30

  • Phase III – Lessons Learned • CECCAC evaluated the sustainability of the

    Phase III Model • Significant financial pressure to meet the

    2014-15 target of 6664 additional patients within our budget

    • PT/PTA is a viable model for community based therapy service

    • The change from “acute” to “restorative model” of care is a lengthy process for care coordinators and service providers alike

    31

  • Phase III (IV) • In collaboration with our SPO we are refining

    our eligibility criteria • Stream 2 eligibility

    – Post acute physiotherapy – Stroke, risk for falls – 2 Physiotherapists and 6 PTA visits

    • Stream 3B – 2 Physiotherapist visits to assess for PSW

    supported activation/maintenance

    32

  • Personal Support Services (PSS) Organization Engagement –

    Stream 3B • Invited our PSS organizations to assist with

    the development of the activation program • Physiotherapy agencies agreed to develop a

    standing and sitting activation program appropriate for Personal Support Worker (PSW) supervision

    • Transfer vs delegation of care to PSW

    33

  • Next Steps

    • Finalize the standing and sitting activation program

    • Re-educate Care Coordinators and SPO in the new program

    • Set up train the trainer modules for sustainability

    For in home - Care coordinator has discretion to allow 30 mins -1 hour extra PSW per week to accommodate PT programme. Alternatively, it can be built into existing PSW allotment.

    Tip: PTA or PSW?

    PTA: Focused intervention. May involve specific stretching, more complicated exercises, some modalities (i.e., accutens)

    PSW: Exercises are maintenance in nature, easily incorporated into the care plan. Gentle movement, ROM or walking small distances.

    patient need and ‘right care’ PT utilization did not change significantly (remained at 4 units per

    patient on average) Transition from 2-3 visit consultation model to a broader, expanded

    role of PT which focuses on establishing SMART goals and the provision of treatment over a longer period of time

    PSW incorporation of exercise programming PSW allocation Prescriptive PT/PTA visits did not always correlate with patient need

    and ‘right care’ PT/PTA ‘new’ relationships

  • Successes The benefits to our patients with these PT Streams is immeasurable if

    it allows patients to be more active and safer in their home and community, and for some it allows them to stay in their home rather than have to contemplate a move to a RH or LTCF.

    I like the structure of each stream, goal expectations are known, it is

    not restrictive in length, clients could start in Stream 1 and progress through to Stream 2 or 3 if as per PT professional judgment/discussion with CCAC that, ongoing therapy would benefit patient. I also like that the frequency authorization is standard for all Access ordering the service, because it equalizes services for all, rather than I think they should receive 2 visits and some other Access CCs think 1 visit is enough.
