  2. Practice 1 • PDSA’s Included: • Identifying DM patients prior to and/or at time of visits • Identify who needs Urine Micro Albumin and Eye Exams Prior to visits • Shoes/Socks off at visit, Monofilaments completed if due • How did these Impact the Staff/Work Flow: • Secretaries assisted in placing “Prep Sheets” with Encounters when registering • All MA’s trained in Monofilament exams • Referral MA ran reports and placed calls to diabetics to get eye exam info.

  3. Diabetic Patients • PA Spread REMINDERS • HPI entered “Pt. is a Diabetic” • Have patient take shoes and socks off at every routine visit!!! • Monofilament Foot exam completed within the last year??? If no, PERFORM exam today!!! • Urine Microalbumin done within the last year??? If no, COLLECT urine sample and send!!! • Retinal Eye Exam done within the last year??? If no, enter REFERRAL for diabetic eye exam!!!!

  4. Practice 1 • Moving Forward… • Pre-Visit Chart Preps • Daily Huddles (Providers, MA, etc…The whole team!) • RN Care Coordination for patients who need “extra care” • “High Risk” Meetings for Complex Patient Care Plans • Expanding the PCMH Module to other Diagnoses and • eventually “All Patients”

  5. Practice 2 • MAJOR CHANGE • Implementation of EMR • All charts are now electronic with PMR scanned and saved to appropriate folders. All labs, orders, medications, letters and communication notes are in the EMR. • OUTCOME • Improved continuity of care with greater access for all providers • Easier tracking and searching for test/results • Ability to set Protocol Template allowing quick look for gaps in care

  6. Practice 2 • MAJOR CHANGE • Pre Visit Chart Preparation • Health Coach uses EMR to Plan upcoming patient visit. Focus on Diabetic patients. • Uses a Needs List Worksheet & completes with Gaps in Care identified. • Worksheet is given to MA for review with patient at visit & standing orders to be completed. Physician to be made aware of other orders needed to complete Gaps in Care. • OUTCOMES • Microalbumin testing increased by 9% • A1C Trending down • More staff engaging w/pt visit

  7. Practice 2 • MAJOR CHANGE • PCMHHealth Coach • Pt is referred to Health Coach at time of visitor referral made for teaching which could include diet, exercise and/or insulin titration to target based on standing orders. • Continued point of contact for pt. & f/u calls made by PCMH Team. • Recognize when further needs or Recourses are needed & assist w/referral. • OUTCOMES • 70 y/o w/history of DM, HTN, OBESITY and Hyperlipidemia • Meet w/health coach, titrated insulin via phone calls & standing orders • Date: A1C LDL TRIGLYCERIDES WEIGHT • 7/10/12 8.5 127 276 307 LBS • 3/01/13 6.5 63 132 291 LBS

  8. Practice 2 • MOVING FORWARD: • Begin work on Self-management goals.

  10. Best Practice ChangesPractice 4 • Formed a Quality Management Team with a Quality Management Supervisor. • One of the responsibilities is coordinating and performing Pre-Visit Preparations • Consists of a check list of orders, reminders, immunizations, results, etc. required to be in the chart based on age, gender and chronic conditions. • Pre-Visit Preparations are conducted 24-48 hours prior to all previously scheduled appointments

  11. Best Practice ChangesPractice 5 • Care Guide implementation for chronic conditions • Tool allowing provider to document care plan, goals, self-management abilities, educational material, etc. • Diabetes, Asthma, Smoking • Patient Recall Registry • Report generated from EHR data indicating patients in need of tests, procedures, immunizations, etc. • Outreach is performed to ensure patient receives appropriate care.
