First: Who are you?

Cambridge Health Alliance

An academic public health safety net system outside of Boston

Largely public payer mix – 82%,almost all Medicaid

>50% patients speak language other than English

160,000 primary care visits for 92,000 patients

Ambulatory Practices” site 2013

Why teams? Teams are an essential part of care in multi‐cultural, indigent populations

Team members, when diverse, offer an opportunity for patients to choose a team member to bond to

Diverse team members allow for multi‐directional teaching

Teams distribute the work across many people, allowing for all of the prevention work to get done at any visit

The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that…

At least 80% of all heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes, and 

More than 40% of cancer

would be prevented if only Americans were to do three things:

Stop smoking Start eating healthy Get in shape

The vast majority of cases of chronic disease could be better prevented or managed.

Don’t do this:Primary Care System Unsustainable

Acute Care   4.6 hours/day

Preventive Care 7.4 hours/day

Chronic Care 10.6 hours/day

22.6 Hours/day

This is the amount of time required to take perfect care of ONE patient!

In 15 minutes? By a single doctor?

Why teams?

Places patient at the center – MD not the center of staff attention

Entire staff know and own the care of the patient 

Work is distributed according to level of staff training (e.g. RNs free to do RN level tasks)

Improves quality and efficiency of care

Makes primary care possible and ENJOYABLE!

There are many roads 

Form follows Function: who is around to help with the work?

Teams need leadership direction and support but can grow organically (especially important when there are economic constraints)

Functions and roles of teams members change over time based on staffing and need

How Team Care Developed at CHA

Micro Teams: Owning the Work

Initial teams of Medical Assistant, MD, RN Adequate staffing to use this model

Medical Receptionists added soon after The complex social relationships between our patients are key to both successful outreach and engaging a population

Redesigning Care Delivery:Care is no longer based primarily on visits

How Teams Structure The Work‐Maintaining the Change

The work of the team is organized around four processes: pre‐visit, visit, post‐visit and between visits

All MA‐MD pairs “huddle” prior to and after each patient care session. Significantly improved the flow and productivity (#s of pts seen, what was done for each patient) of each session.

Meet regularly as a whole team to manage “between visit” work – weekly meetings of whole team Celebrate successes , discuss patients who are struggling, review quality goals, plan outreach, assign tasks

Care Coordination ‐ inreach Patients have visits with multiple team members in one day

Who facilitates that?

Receptionist schedules so it can actually happen!

Medical Assistant makes the flow happen

Pharmacy to see pt, do medication reconciliation and make changes all before provider; RN does 1 hr teaching and makes plan with patient before MD visit; immunizations before MD visit

Care Coordination ‐ outreach

Patients most at risk with “hand offs” and when travel between parts of the system (consults, ER , Hospitalizations, testing)

Provider calls the Emergency Room when sending a patient there to coordinate care

Emergency Room visit follow up calls by team RN

Post Hospital Discharge visits with team within 1 week and telephone call within 48 hours

Integrated system of sharing visit notes (ER, consults, admissions)

Voice of the Team

Pre‐work and Visit work: Medical Assistant  Patricia Alves

What is the difference between a Team “Meeting” and a “Huddle”?

“HUDDLES”

Goal: before each session (AM & PM) )

Minimum: once a day

Ideal: In addition, post‐session quick huddle for f/u tasks 

Average 10 minutes or less!

* Who’s coming in today: what do they need?

*  Who was in the hospital/ED and  what is the plan for f/u?

A provider and the MA who are working together to see the patient that day.  

The receptionist joins the team if at all possible to assist with scheduling of appointments.

The team RN connects with this team either during the huddle or sometime during the day to review the hospital/ED f/us. 

Planning for care of the patients scheduled to receive care during the session/day by the provider.  

Includes planning for flow of the session (i.e. provider informs RN that this patient on the schedule will be a quick follow up and an add on can be double booked in this slot) 

Includes planning for patient’s:

Health Maintenance issues 

Chronic Care issues

Urgent Care issues (i.e.provider informs  MA that this patient will need an EKG, this one a  throat culture, etc.)

TEAM MEETINGS

Goal: weeklyMinimum: biweekly

30‐60 minutes depending on weekly/biweekly

This meeting time should occur during a time when team members CAN ATTEND and coverage for their work is available.  Team meetings are part of administrative time for providers.

All assigned members of the Planned Care TeamRequired participants: Provider, Nurse, Medical Assistant, 

Medical Receptionist, Planned Care Coordinator, and Complex Care Managers (for high risk case discussions)

Support team participants: Clinical Pharmacist, Nutrition, Mental/Behavioral Health, Social Work, Patient Navigators, Community Resource Specialists

Planning for care of a panel/population of patients.   This includes patients who touch 

the health care system regularly (during appointments and phone contacts) and those who do not touch the health care system regularly.  

Includes planning for patient’s:Health Maintenance issues

Or, without data, we are nothing!

Team Orientation and Training

First, who will do what? Define the Roles

Clear hiring strategy to identify candidates who will succeed in this model

Every new staff member spends time shadowing different team members

Concept of patient care teams and their expected role is a focal point of new staff orientation

RNs as team leaders Role change on the team from reactive to proactive Triad of RN/Pharmacy and PCP – divide and conquer! 

Improve continuity of care: pts able to get appt with their team more quickly since RNs and pharmacy are an additional provider/team member

Engages RNs as team leaders

Engaging RNs as Care Managers Increase the time for RNs to focus on:

Care management, specifically with high risk patient groups; choose first group of High Risk patients to focus on: Diabetics

Direct patient care time to increase patient engagement, patient education, etc.

Hired LPN to assist in task oriented jobs (manages all immunization tasks like ordering, stocking, shots, outreach/panel management of those behind on immunizations).

Continuous Quality Improvement

How to make lasting changes

PDSA cycles

Plan: New workflow designed by a team

Do: 2 week trial of the change

Study: Re‐evaluation by the entire team and a patient if possible

Act: Spread the work to others

Union Square Example

Health Care Proxy Form

New work for Medical Assistants sent to them in email

Discussed with providers and leadership

Medical Assistants printed the form, reviewed it with the patients, signed as a witness and provide a copy to patients; pended the order in the computer for the Doctor

Small changes over email then was permanent

Pithy Quotes “All team members truly believe in the common goal of patient care and do what is best for the pt.”

“We communicate well about what we expect of each person’s role in the team.”

“Teams function when they get encouragement, have the tools to succeed and strong, fair, competent leadership.”

“Everyone is willing to take one for  the team.”

“Relationship is the foundation.”

Measures of Success – Work Environment

Provider and staff satisfaction

Extremely low rate of avoidable turnover despite very challenging financial hurdles as an organization

Professional development of staff

Easy to recruit new staff members to the site

Staff‐led visioning and initiatives

Providers identified this as a best practice site in organization‐wide survey

Traps

Important for people to own the work ‐ clear communication, role definition, empowerment

Important to preserve a sense of teamwork across care teams – vacations, sick days, etc

Appropriate prospective staffing and scheduling really matters

Personality management – help each person to succeed

1 Year Results

RNs have taken on direct patient education for high risk patients, esp. diabetics
