Explain your role and responsibility in this process. Why is Northland participating? Safety – safe patient hand-off, self care Satisfaction- pt/family, partners Cost- readmission Mission- Patients 1st , Community Health, Clinical Quality STOC – Improvement Scope Transitions = Hand-Off Transferring Facility Contact Person Phone # Fax # Receiving Facility Contact Person Phone # Fax # Primary & Secondary Diagnosis Problem List Allergies Falls Risk Infection/Isolation Mental Status Behavior Status Pain Assessment Skin Assessment Communication needs Code Status Goals- Overall Progress Immediate FU Needs- procedures/lab/tests Special Diet DC Medications Labs Last 24 hrs pertinent test results & pending Core Elements Receiving facilities complained they did not have crucial information &/or could not easily locate it (multiple pages). Satisfaction: Discharge In your opinion, were staff at the receiving facility satisfied with information communicated during the transition? Critical to Success: Response time = now Satisfy every request in one call Anticipate needs during prep In your opinion, was the patient and family satisfied with the transition process? Critical to Success: Response time = now Satisfy every request in one call Anticipate needs during prep Cost: Readmission Frequency Northland is lower than QUEST best practice peer group 12 month period, 4Q 2009 – 3Q 2010 Mission: Community Reputation Transition Stories Make a Difference Inpatient Satisfaction- 2010 Every Transition Is a Story In the Making Performance Measurement- Review What’s Important? Each Patient Transfer has a 4 point opportunity, each pass/fail. 1 point = All Core Elements addressed in transfer information 1 point = Receiving facility scores satisfaction as positive 1 point = Family/patient satisfaction is positive 1 point = Patient not readmitted within 30 days of discharge How is it Reported? 5 = Greater than or equal to 80.0% 4 = 70.0 - 79.9 3 Target = 58.0 - 69.9 2 = 50.0 - 57.9 1 = Less than or equal to 49% Your Role- Discharge Prep Hospitalists •Determine LOS/approximate date of discharge •Notify care team of discharge date and treatment plan •Complete discharge orders in EPIC •Sign orders electronically •Complete Discharge summary •Investigate SNF bed options when probability is d/c to NH Social Workers •Obtain bed placement when final discharge plan communicated •Write DC date on white board in patient room •Coordinate discharge time with RN Care Manager & Charge Nurse •Determine transportation and pick up time •Write pick up time on white board in patient room •Communicate pick up time via pager to charge nurse/care manager Your Role- Discharge Prep Case Manager RN Charge Nurse NSA •Obtain notification of discharge date/time via interdisciplinary care team •Complete discharge navigator/discharge profile •Communicate completion of patient profile within discharge navigator to charge nurse •Complete verbal report to NH staff prior to patient leaving facility •Prepare the patient for discharge •Complete all discharge documentation via discharge navigator •Obtain notification of discharge date/time via interdisciplinary care team •Review discharge orders and medication reconciliation for accuracy and completeness •Verify that medication orders have NOT been sent to local pharmacy •Communicate readiness of patient for transfer to Nursing Station Attendant when discharge checklist is complete and information is available to fax • Fax After Visit Summary and Medication Orders after notification of readiness by Charge Nurse- DO NOT FAX until “green light” from charge nurse. • Place After Visit Summary and all other documents in transfer envelope • Follow-up appointments??
