  5. Objectives • Define evidence-based health promotion programs • Discuss the role of the physical therapist in evidence-based health promotion programming and creating a continuum of care • Describe the evolution of falls prevention into a public health issue, and the role of EBHP in falls prevention efforts at the state and national level

  6. Objectives • Describe initiatives and resources at the national, state, and local level to disseminate evidence-based falls prevention programs • Discuss effective models for physical therapy clinicians to partner with community providers to create a continuum of care • Develop an action plan to create a continuum of care using EBHP or other partnership models into physical therapy practice

  7. It’s all about the continuum Discharge Initial Eval PT Evidence–Based Programs

  8. Three + Goals • Understand what an EB program is, and how to complement or integrate programs into practice • Discuss how falls prevention has evolved into evidence-based programs, and the role of PT in these programs • Describe models of PT and Community Partnership to create a continuum of care • Provide a glimpse of the future

  9. What is Evidence-Based Health Promotion

  10. Evidence What? From Dr. Marcia Ory

  11. EBHP: Proven Programs Guarantee Outcomes

  12. Evidence-Based vs. Best Practice • Evidence-based (www.noca.org) • Scripted program • Program tested in randomized controlled trials and proven highly effective • Results based on if delivered as intended • Matter of Balance, Healthy Ideas, etc. • Best practice (www.ncoa.org) • Program based on evidence-based components • Not tested (as yet) in RCT • “Fallproof”, “Get Some Balance in Your Life”

  13. This really is all new!

  14. Who is funding these things? Why? • 2010-2012: • Implement one type of EBPs in most states • 2006-2010: • Implement one EBP and others from defined list • 2003-2006: • Implement a wide-range of EBPs in disease prevention • 2001: • Develop evidence-based models for seniors

  15. Public Health and Clinical Practice Unintended Consequences When Worlds Collide!

  16. Case Study

  17. Case Study • Ms T - 70-years-old with diabetes, diabetic neuropathy, hypertension, and knee O/A • Referral for knee pain • Therapist screens for falls risk using STEADI tool (released in 2012, www.cdc.gov) • “Stopping Elderly Accidents, Deaths, Injuries” • Translation of AGS Falls Prevention Guidelines (AGS, 2011)

  18. STEADI Falls Risk Screen • Have you fallen in the past year? • Yes • Do you feel unsteady when standing or walking? • Yes • Are you worried about falling? • Yes • Score of 4+ on Stay Independent Brochure (Rubenstein, 2011)

  19. STEADI Falls Risk Screen • Evaluate Gait and Balance • Timed Up and Go • 11 Seconds • 30 Second Chair Stand • Can only do 3 • 4 Stage Balance Test • Unable to hold tandem stance for 10 seconds

  20. Case Study • Evaluate and treat knee pain • Multifactorial falls risk assessment • Refer to Diabetes Self-Management Program (DSMP) • Led by 2 former patients trained as lay leaders • Series offered monthly in-house

  21. Falls Risk Assessment • Postural hypotension • Cognitive screening • Medication screening • Functional assessment • Vision screening • Feet & Footwear • Use of mobility aids (STEADI, 2012)

  22. EBHP and Falls Risk Management • Ms T at risk for falls based on functional assessment • Secondary referral to treat gait and balance • Use of V-code 15.88 to justify treatment • Refer patient to Stepping On at local senior center (Clemson, 2004)

  23. Case Study • 8 weeks later • Blood sugars better managed • Less pain • 15 chair rises, 10 second tandem hold • Wants to keep exercising • Improvements in balance confidence • Refer to YMCA to attend Tai Chi – Moving for Better Balance Program (Li, 2005; 2008)

  24. Injury, Falls, and Prevention • 35% of older adults fall each year • Leading cause of unintentional death • $24 Billion (direct + indirect medical costs) • Effective programs validated • No mechanism for broad dissemination (CDC, 2011)

  25. THE CDC? Falls Prevention? The Otago Exercise Program Stepping On falls prevention, EBHP, and Physical Therapy Tai Chi – Moving for Better Balance

  27. What is the Otago Exercise Program? • An in-home exercise program delivered by physical therapists (Campbell, 1999) • Tailored balance and strength program and walking plan • Exercises are progressed • Minimum of 7 home visits and 7 phone calls over 12 months • Reimbursement • Medicare A + B • Medicare B

  28. Otago Exercise Program Schedule

  29. Who benefits from Otago? • Adults 80 years and older with moderate strength and balance deficits (Thomas, 2010) • Participants should be living in the community (not institutionalized) • Able to walk independently in home with or without a walking aid

  30. Who Doesn’t Benefit From Otago? • Older adults < 80 years of age • Older adults too frail to do standing exercises • Older adults who fall due to syncope, vertigo, severely impaired vision, some neurologic conditions, or with significant cognitive impairment (Campbell, 2005) • Older adults with mild deficits may need a more challenging program • May benefit from other evidence-based fall prevention programs such as Tai chi: Moving for Better Balance

  31. Evidence for Otago • Meta-analysis (Robertson, 2002) • 1,016 participants aged 65-97 • High risk of falling per physician assessment • 35% reduction in falls, RR = 0.65 (0.57-0.75). • 35% reduction in fall-related injuries, RR = 0.65 (0.53-0.81) • Improved balance and strength at 6 months “This exercise program was most effective in reducing fall-related injuries in those aged 80 and older and resulted in a higher absolute reduction in injurious falls when offered to those with a history of a previous fall.”

  32. Pros of Otago and Clinical Practice • Buy In (evidence-based, effective falls prevention) • Providers • Patients • Patient Choice • Home based exercise program • Individual program • Medicare reimbursement • Home Health Quality Initiative • Physician Quality Reporting Initiative (PQRI) • Feedback from patients

  33. Cons of Otago and Clinical Practice • Length of program (12 months) • Models • Homebound and transition: Med A transition to Med B delivered in the home • Not homebound: Med B delivered in the home

  34. Cons of Otago and Clinical Practice • Medicare reimbursement Part B • Travel for PT not covered • Special Rules for Hospitals • Patient only seen in home if medically unable to come to the hospital • Home Health Agencies • Best choice for seeing patient in the home • Many do not provide part B • Phone calls not covered under Part A or B
