  • February 11, 2009


Aims of IPIP

  • To dramatically improve patient outcomes by transforming the way we deliver primary care, focusing initially on measurable improvement in diabetes and asthma, but rapidly spreading to preventive services and other conditions

  • To assist different types of practices in using practice redesign strategies to improve efficiency and implement best practices

  • To align efforts and motivate action at the national, regional, state, practice and patient level



Aligning Across Policy Levels



Build will on state level and create state infrastructure

  • National specialty societies work through state chapters

  • Specialty Boards provide clear expectations for maintenance of certification

  • Partner with other organizations in the state

    • AHEC, QIO, payers, businesses, state government
  • Aligning state efforts creates the IPIP model

  • National Team supports states with:

    • Standard protocols
    • Decision support tools
    • Access to other practices who’ve done this work successfully
    • Access to experts in the field
    • Data aggregation and reports


Model

  • Improvement networks/collaboratives

  • Quality Improvement Coaches: Support individual practices and improvement networks

    • Onsite consulting
    • Group meetings (in person and phone)
  • Reporting: monthly submission of performance measures





Role of Quality Improvement Coaches

  • Intensive (often) on-site work with the practice team

  • Provide avenue to network activities and share best practices

  • Focused approach for implementation starting with key process changes

    • Move practices faster for basic implementation
    • Create group momentum with regard to implementation and standardization
  • Help practices ensure that all IPIP changes are implemented

  • Assist practices in developing teams & standardized work flow

  • Provide examples of tools (standing orders) and roles

  • Assist practices with regular monitoring of implementation to ensure reliability







Usual care works well if your plane is about to crash



The IOM Quality Report: Selected Quotes

  • “The current care systems cannot do the job.”

  • “Trying harder will not work.”

  • “Changing care systems will.”



Systems are perfectly designed to get the results they achieve





Advantages of a General System Change Model

  • Applicable to most preventive and chronic care issues

  • Once system changes in place, accommodating new guideline or innovation much easier

  • Early participants in our collaboratives using it comprehensively



Essential Element of Good Chronic Illness Care



What characterizes a “prepared” practice team?









Clinical Information System

  • Provide reminders for providers and patients.

  • Identify relevant patient subpopulations for proactive care.

  • Facilitate individual patient care planning.

  • Share information with providers and patients.

  • Monitor performance of team and system.



Delivery System Design

  • Define roles and distribute tasks amongst team members.

  • Use planned interactions to support evidence-based care.

  • Provide clinical case management services.

  • Ensure regular follow-up.

  • Give care that patients understand and that fits their culture



Self-management Support

  • Emphasize the patient's central role.

  • Use effective self-management support strategies that include assessment, goal-setting, action planning, problem-solving and follow-up.

  • Organize resources to provide support



To Change Outcomes (e.g., HbA1c) Requires Fundamental Practice Change

  • Interventions focused on guidelines, feedback, and role changes can improve processes

  • Interventions that address more than one area have more impact

  • Interventions that are patient-centered change outcomes.



Templates Related to Better Performance and Less Variation (IPIP practices)



IPIP Change Package

  • High-leverage Changes

    • Implement Registry
    • Use Template for Planned Care
    • Use Protocols
    • Adopt Self-management Support Strategies


Implement IPIP Changes in Steps

  • Use Registry to identify asthmatics/diabetics prior to visit (this requires the work of implementing a registry or “fixing” the EHR)

  • Use condition-specific decision support tool (e.g., visit planner)

  • Create customized flow diagram and protocols to standardize the care process

    • Nursing Standing Orders to increase reliable execution [examples]
    • Standard Protocol [example]
    • Specific Care Team roles: who does what in the protocol
  • Implement a self-management support system

  • Throughout: Frequent monitoring of reliability and investigation of failures for ideas about how to improve standard performance



Detailed Changes: Registry

  • Select and install a registry tool

  • Determine staff workflow to support registry use

  • Populate registry with patient data

  • Routinely maintain registry data

  • Use registry to manage patient care and support population management



Detailed Changes: Templates

  • Select template tool from registry or create a flow sheet

  • Determine staff workflow to support use of template

  • Use template with all patients

  • Ensure registry updated each time template used

  • Monitor use of template



Detailed Changes: Protocols

  • Step 3: Use Protocols

      • a. Select and customize evidence-based protocols to office
      • b. Determine staff workflow to support protocols, including standing orders
      • c. Use protocols with all patients
      • d. Monitor use of protocols


Protocols: Asthma-specific

      • Assess and document asthma severity and control
      • Prescribe appropriate asthma medications and monitor overuse of beta agonists
      • Use Asthma Management plans
      • Establish visit frequency protocol
      • Assess and treat co-morbidities
      • Assess, counsel, and prevent exposure to environmental triggers


Protocols: Diabetes

      • Check and treat BP <130/80
      • Check and treat cholesterol
      • Check A1C and treat hyperglycemia
      • Assess aspirin and prescribe if not using
      • Assess need for eye exam and make referral if needed
      • Assess nephropathy risk
      • Perform foot exam
      • Provide appropriate vaccines


Self-management Support

  • Obtain patient education materials (e.g., asthma action plans)

  • Determine staff workflow to support SMS

  • Provide training to staff in SMS techniques

  • Set patient goals collaboratively

  • Document and monitor patient progress toward goals

  • Link with community resources (schools, service organizations)





Cincinnati Children’s Hospital PHO

  • 44 geographically dispersed, sites

  • Individual models and styles of practice

  • “First Wins”

    • Early adoption of registry
    • Concurrent data collection: written parent symptom review and clinical interview




Relationship between changing process and changing outcome



Impact of PHO Asthma Initiative













Challenges



Focus on Hypertension

  • Reinforced use of BP check visit – patient sees RN or Health Coach

  • New protocol and training for MA to recheck BP if high prior to seeing PCP

  • BP Loan Program

  • Chart Reviews

  • Discussion with PCPs at monthly meeting





PCP Discussions

  • Monthly PCP meetings

  • Results of chart reviews drive PCP discussion

  • Discuss clinical management of HTN

  • Ask PCP with best results – what do you do?

  • Share best practices - start with combination drugs



PCP Discussions

  • Identifies common misconceptions – “uncontrolled patients are already on maximal doses of medications”

  • Identifies target for improvement – importance of rechecking BP if uncontrolled and asking if patients took their medications on the day of the visit



The Multidisciplinary Team: The key to successful planned diabetes care and quality improvement in our practice

Change is scary



We assessed root causes and actions



Everything tipped in late 2007: How did we hit ‘The Tipping Point’?

  • “The level at which the momentum for change becomes unstoppable.“

  • "Ideas and products and messages and behaviors spread like viruses do.“

    • The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference. Malcolm Gladwell


What did we learn from the first 3 years?

  • ‘Every system is perfectly designed to get the results it gets’

  • If we don't like the results we have to change the system- basically and radically

  • Providers responded to data and information at the point of care

    • Addressed unanswered questions
  • We must build consensus and standardize

  • We must diversify

  • We need to move more quickly



An epiphany: The run chart , reporting AVG A1c for our clinic 2004



Diabetes planned care



What we learned from 2003 to 2006

  • A successful program includes:

    • A multidisciplinary team
    • A registry with decision support for proactive care
    • Consensus backed by evidence-based algorithms and standards
  • Persistence and leadership are key

  • Appropriately designed interventions or systems can overcome patient vulnerability

  • We continually evolve, change is necessary and represents opportunity

    • Embrace rapid cycle change and the MFI


An example of our stepped care approach: Green Zone



An example of our stepped care approach: Yellow Zone



An example of our stepped care approach: Red Zone



Role of The Care Assistants

  • Consists of 4 care assistants

  • Care assistants see patients during provider visits

    • Patient education
    • Utilize the tools created by the database
    • Assist the physician
    • Facilitate proactive care, encourage intervention
    • Address barriers, adherence, glucose monitoring, provide smoking cessation counseling, screen for depression


Average A1c in our clinic now



Example 1 Lipid screening & management: A front desk intervention



Status of Lipid Management September 2004

  • 55% of patients had total cholesterol tested annually

  • Approximately 68% were prescribed statins

  • Average total cholesterol = 185 mg/dl

  • Average LDL = 99 mg/dl

  • We set a goal that 90% of patients would be screened annually and prescribed a statin



Front Desk Process

  • List of patients with diabetes

  • Whether or not labs need to be drawn

  • We had patients that needed labs that were not getting triaged appropriately

  • Looked at front desk logs and process



Front Desk Logs

  • About 60 patients with diabetes/week

  • 30 needed a lab drawn

  • Only 15 had it drawn (50%)



Pizza for 90% Fidelity

  • 25/33 = 75% No pizza

  • 34/36 = 94% PIZZA







Example 2 Process measure improvement: Nurse-directed interventions, improving the prompts



Process to engage nurses

  • Solidified divisional support for utilization of the intervention

  • Developed educational session with nurses

    • Meeting introduction by medical director
    • Revisited intent of the yellow sheets
    • Reiterated the role of the nurse as an integral member of our team
    • Reviewed evidence behind recommendations
    • Listened to nurses’ concerns
  • Developed rapid means of feedback



Items to be included in nurse assessment

  • Assess as indicated on the prompt

    • Depression screening
    • Smoking assessment and intervention
    • Eye referrals
    • Monofilament testing
    • Pneumococcal vaccination


Modified Intervention (version 3)



Simple procedure for tracking daily progress- Excel spreadsheet





Widespread, significant improvement noted



Provider satisfaction has improved: How has this affected the life of a physician?

  • Delegating processes frees up time to focus on diagnostic and therapeutic issues

  • A weight has been lifted

  • Excellent to know how the practice performs

  • Data has changed our conversations

  • It is satisfying to show improved care



Diabetes Improvement Across the Practice--Lessons

  • Just working harder doesn’t lead to better outcomes

  • Just making a policy doesn’t mean the process gets done

  • Doctors in our system don’t follow algorithms or policies very well

    • Other members of the health care team are better…and that is OK
  • Each member must function at their highest level of skill

  • Distractions will arise, challenges will occur



In Summary: Change Package

  • Includes details about making changes, measures, assessment scales and tools

  • A resource for practices and QICs

  • Offers guidance and resources

  • Remember: Teams’ testing helps adapt and adopt strategies in their office



IPIP Expectations

  • Practices work on redesign of systems of care delivery

  • Target improvement in diabetes or asthma

  • This becomes how we practice healthcare —continuously tracking, sharing, and improving

  • Participation in IPIP meets one requirement for maintenance of certification and qualifies for Continuing Medical Education (CME) credit



Expectations re: Data

  • Collect data on performance measures (required)

  • Submit numerators and denominators to IPIP via QIC, state program or directly

  • Reliable, quality care is provided to the entire population by using registry (or EHR with population management functions)



What do we mean by data?

  • Aggregate measures of quality

    • Based on national standards (NCQA,AQA,HEDIS)
    • Physician or practice-based
    • Additional details enhance understanding of context and meaning (levels of data quality)
    • Range of data sources (paper -> Electronic Health Record)


Rely Upon Nationally Endorsed Measures

  • Early in IPIP development, it became clear that the scope of determining “ideal” measures was beyond IPIP

  • Other organizations exist to do this: NCQA, Physicians Consortium, National Quality Forum, Ambulatory Care Quality Alliance

  • IPIP decided to only require measures that had been endorsed by a one or more of the above organizations



Benefits and Downsides

  • Mitigates the debate about individual opinions

  • Dramatically improves our ability to align

  • Reduces flexibility

  • Often leaves us with more “clunky” measures (less sensitive to changes)

  • Measures sometimes change slower than we would like (concerns about obsolete)



Required IPIP measures are not the only measures practices should be using

  • Use other measures to help ensure reliable processes and do small PDSAs
