  5. Team-based Care Models Chronic disease model Patient-centered medical home Teamlet model Community health worker model Care management by nurses Coaching by peer patients Telephone coaching Care guide model—a blend of these

  6. What Strategies Work (literature review) Keep costs down Support traditional clinic roles and work flows Peers > authority figures Face-to-face > telephone Long-term relationships Behavior change theory

  7. Creation of Care Guides A new type of non-clinical employee Teams with patient, provider and nurse in clinic One task: help chronic disease patients Tool: face-to-face interactions Adaptable to different settings, including small practices Low cost

  8. Recruiting Care Guides Empathetic, friendly, outgoing Understand limits of role Bilingual when needed At least 2 years college No experience required $16/hour salary

  9. Training (2 weeks) Disease basics (HTN, DM, CHF) How to shop for inexpensive drugs Where to find resources outside clinic Electronic health record HIPAA, ethics, scope of practice Behavior change theory

  10. Essence of a Care Guide The care guide model supports the triple aim by including a layperson on care delivery teams. The care guide is an active member of the care team that is easily accessible to patients and providers, builds longitudinal peer relationships and supports traditional clinic roles at a low cost. • A care guide: • Meets patients face-to-face initially • Shares a patient panel with providers • Provides routine interactions • Shares information • Clarifies questions • Provides motivational coaching • Connects to resources • Documents in patient record • A care guide is not: • Permitted to give medical advice • Permitted to provide patient referrals • Permitted to distribute patient handouts without approval • A community health worker

  11. Testing the Care Guide Model 2008 2010 2013 ~ 300 Patients > 2100 Patients *per JNC-7, ADA and AHA websites

  12. Results: Patients Working with Care Guides 31% more likely than controls to meet evidence-based goals 21% more likely to quit tobacco Significant improvement in all diagnosis groups, across demographic categories

  13. Results: Hospitalizations & ED Visits Comparing previous year to care guide year, care guide patients to controls: Fewer hospitalizations Fewer ED visits

  14. Perceptions of Care Care guide patients reported more: Social support (P =.013) Help (P < .001) Individualized care (P =.023) Reinforcement (P < .001) Understand how to manage illness (P =.004) This clinic listens to me, cares about me, I would recommend it

  15. Care Guides as QI Agents • Not a monthly report • Not a pop-up reminder in EHR • Instead, informal discussions with providers • On day of appointment Providers and nurses liked them: • 93%: care guides improved care • 94%: an effective use of resources
