Overview

• Care Management Plus: International Conference on Cybernetics, Informatics and Systemics (ICCIS) need and trial.
• Prioritized functions.
• Unintended consequences.
• Sustainability: Free take one vs. thoughtful partnership.

A.K.A—How to build a better system of care for your most at-risk primary care patients.

Slide 4

Needs assessment / Build system (1 year + )
Train clinics and care managers 

Randomly assigned goals for IT use.

Arm 1: Coordination of Care:

• Complete assessment/care plan.
• Education.
• Goal setting and follow up.
• Communication.
• Motivation/coaching.
• Completing CM services.

Arm 2: Quality:

• Choose 5 of 20 quality measures: prevention, diabetes, vulnerable elderly, asthma, congestive hearth failure.

Data from ICCIS, Payers

Evaluation (Aim 4):

• Outcomes (health/satisfaction) and their relationship to implementation and use of information technology (IT).

Slide 5

Needs assessment

Additional Care Management elements requested from 7 teams with EHRs.

Slide 6

ICCIS Care Coordination Workflow

A centralized reminder list of tasks and communications that were proactively planned but incomplete allows population-based tasks to be merged with individual encounter tasks.

Slide 7

Quality measure dashboard

Image: The Quality measure dashboard is shown.

Dashboard can be run by clinic, team, or individual PCP.

Slide 8

ICCIS Interactive Quality Reports

Image: ICCIS Interactive Quality Reports are shown.

The abilities to document exclusions at multiple levels and generate targeted population-based review cycles avoid the problems caused by static quality reports and allow providers to efficiently focus outreach efforts on high risk populations.

Slide 9

Patient Worksheet

Image: Patient Worksheet is shown.

When working with persons with multiple illnesses or complex illness, a clinical summary that captures a core set of information improves patient outcomes (1). Care coordination and behavioral modification (goal setting) elements often require special effort and the quality summary requires more advanced monitoring and implementation than most standard EHRs provide.

Slide 11

Unintended consequences: Errors / fixes

• 278 fixes of systemic errors in first 6 months of study.
• Sources:
  • data (multiple EHRs, minimal standards).
  • workflow/usability.
  • Understanding/naming to reduce confusion.

Slide 12

Sustainability—'Free, take one'—dissemination to 208 teams

Image: A map of the United States shows the locations of the teams.

Slide 13

Sustainability: Thoughtful partnership

• Readiness assessment: define benefit up front:
  • e.g., Medical Home care coordination; ACO reduction in hospitalizations and shared savings.
• Partner on achievement of goals.
• Share savings or benefit together:
  • Example: intensive care management demonstrations; SNP plans
