  1. Interactive Voice Response (IVR)Care Transition Systems TM Support for patients transitioning from hospital to home

  2. Care Transitions TM • The transition from hospital to home • High risk for patients • Not feeling 100% yet • Information overload at discharge • Medications • Follow-up care • Diet • Exercise • Special instructions • Specialist care • Possible pending test results

  3. Patient Perspectives TM • Knowledge needs • Who is in charge – who is the primary provider? I have LOTS of doctors… • Who should I call? My primary doctor? The doctor who took care of me in the hospital? The name on this paperwork? When should I call? • Is this really a health problem or am I just having a bad day? • Am I having medication side effects? How do I know? • Who should I tell? • How do I know if my medicine is working? • Do I know why I am taking all these medicines?

  4. Talking with the Provider TM • Patients looking for guidance about how to engage with their providers • Common patient beliefs • Doctors and nurses are busy • I should not question their authority • If it is important, my doctor would have talked about it • If I ask questions, my doctor might think I am being disrespectful

  5. Care Transitions TM • Patients in need • Outpacing number of available providers • Patients have more complex illness • Multiple chronic conditions • Multiple complex medications • Multiple providers • Multiple settings

  6. Heathcare Costs TM • Healthcare costs are rising at a faster pace than inflation! • Human costs • Decreased quality of life • Decreased community tenure • Stress and worry • Confusion • Financial burdens

  8. Heathcare Costs TM • Economic strain on Healthcare System • Rehospitalizations • Emergency department visits • US Hospital 30-day readmission rates of 20% • Annual cost to Medicare fee for service > $17 Billion • Readmission rates for chronic illness with respiratory implications • CHF: 27% • COPD 23% • 90% of these readmissions unplanned • 40% – 75% preventable if existing standards of care were in place (Jencks, 2009) Jencks SF, Williams MV, Coleman EA. Rehospitalizations among patients in the Medicare fee-for-service program. N Engl J Med. 2009;360:1418-28

  9. Cost of Chronic Disease TM • Why is chronic illness so costly? • Difficult to diagnose • Often occurs with other conditions • Symptoms overlap • Affects older population disproportionately • Develops over time • Cumulative effects of multiple issues • Requires ongoing management – not curative • Frequent doctor visits • Ongoing changes in complex medication regimes • Potential for adverse events always looming…

  10. Access to Care TM • Limited access to care • Geographic boundaries • Cost barriers • Insufficient preventive care services • Gaps in provider-patient communication • Insurance barriers • Barriers in referral process • Long waiting lists for an appointment • Transportation barriers • Mobility barriers…

  11. “Bundled Care” TM • Part of the Affordable Care Act of 2010 • Public Law 111-148 and Public Law 111-152 • Purpose: • Reduce costs • Reduce preventable rehospitalizations • Reduce preventable ED visits • Improve communication across care settings • Improve quality of care • Improve safety for patients • Incentivize providers to “engage” in coordinated care activities within and between care settings

  12. “Bundled Payment” TM • Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) • Bundled Payment: “a method in which payments to health care providers are related to predetermined expected costs of a grouping or ‘bundle’ of related health care services” (AHRQ, Publication No. 12-E007-EF, August 2012).
