ImprovementShirl Johnson, DNP (c ) RN, MSN, CNS, MHA
OBJECTIVES• Describe the challenges encountered, across
the continuum of care, associated with managing patients with chronic disease.
• Discuss current strategies for improving the patient’s transition from one care setting to another.
Challenges with Managing Chronic Disease• By 2020, the number of people with
chronic disease is projected to grow to an estimated 157 million, with 81 million having multiple conditions.
• More than 75% of all health care costs are due to chronic conditions.
• The average cost of having one or more chronic conditions are 5 times greater than for someone without any chronic conditions.
• Chronic diseases causes 7 out of every 10 deaths.
Challenges with Managing Chronic Disease
• Driving significant cost: Hospitalization, ED utilization• Who is managing care : “ Primary Care Physician or
Specialists”• Lack of disease knowledge and skills for self
management• Complicated drug regimens
Historical Gaps in Care Transition• Historical silos between hospitals,
Rehabilitation, Skilled Nursing Facilities, Home Health Agencies
• Fragmented reimbursement• Poor hand- off to next site of care• Not including patient/family in
informed decision making
Where Do We Go From Here?
Population ManagementLeverage Electronic Medical Record:
– Data Mining: Predictive Analytics– Identification of patients at risk– Patient registries identify pts with
chronic diseases• Interviewing the patient and or family• Methods of patient engagement
– Motivational Interviewing• Transition to multi-disciplinary resource
to ambulatory settings– Nurse Navigators, Social workers

• Patient engagement• Advance care planning
with the patient and or family
• Sharing information with next care settings
We must face the epidemic of chronic diseases. If we don’t, the human costs will continue to soar. We might even face a lack of available or affordable care when it is needed most.
