Three of the four conditions, knee replacements excepted, contribute significantly to the ALC challenges faced by acute care hospitals.
Collectively, they consume a significant amount of rehabilitative resource (55% of rehab provincial patient days)
They have well developed, recognized best practice guidelines for rehabilitative patient care
Uptake of the best practices across the continuum has been inconsistent throughout the province.
Challenges faced in the implementation of these best practices are indicative of systemic challenges in rehabilitative care.

Ontario studies provide strong evidence on the effectiveness of home-based rehab protocols following TKR/THR
“IP compared with home-based rehab following primary unilateral THR or TKR: a randomized controlled trial” N. Mahomed et al, 2008CONCLUSIONS: Despite concerns about early hospital discharge, there was no difference in pain, functional outcomes, or patient satisfaction between the groups. We recommend the use of a home-based rehab protocol following elective primary joint replacement as it is the more cost-effective strategy.

Goal: To reduce ALC days related to lack of access to Rehab by developing a systematic approach to facilitate equitable access to appropriate rehab at the appropriate time
Four clinical areas that are identified as being the greatest contributors to the ALC challenges: ◦ hip replacement, knee replacement, stroke, and
hip fracture.

Purpose - To develop a Central LHIN snapshot of:
◦ Inflow into IP Rehab - Patients designated as ALC and awaiting placement in an inpatient rehabilitation bed/facility (Survey One)
◦ Outflow from Rehab - Patients in designated rehab beds awaiting placement in another care setting (Survey Two)
2 surveys to be completed over two separate weeks: Week One - Jan. 30th to Feb. 5th) and Week Two (Feb.13th to 19th)◦ Total of 156 patients during two week period◦ Similar response rates for each week
Survey was designed by (and has previously been used in another study conducted by) the GTA Rehab Network
HOSPITAL ALC REHAB SURVEY RESULTS

• Top 70% of Primary Diagnoses associated with patients designated as ALC awaiting IP Rehab care - summarized in table
• Stroke and Hip Fractures
comprise 31% of survey diagnoses
• No major ALC issues regarding access to IP rehab for primary hip and knee replacements

Referral to Rehab Reasons for “no referral”
included the following:
◦ Awaiting nursing and PT forms to be completed
◦ Waiting nursing/PT/medical forms to be done
◦ Pt. already applied to LTC -also applying to LTLD as per family's request
◦ Application in process (waiting for medical, nursing, and PT forms)
◦ RMR initiated. Forms being completed by team & MRP. Will "send" RMR as soon as all forms completed by team & MRP
47% of patients were referred to more than one rehab facility Majority of patients referred to
only one rehab facility

Survey Results Summary• Hip Fractures and Stroke comprise 31% of the patient population designated ALC and awaiting
placement in an IP Rehab facility• No major ALC issues regarding access to IP rehab for primary hip and knee replacements
For the most part, we know that the following special care needs comprise the highest volume of ALC patients waiting IP Rehab care
• Incontinence• Wound Care • IV Peripheral
Wait times vary by age group and significant variation exists in wait times by facility (for both wait 1 and wait 2)
Wait 1 (ALC Designation to Rehab Referral)◦ 70% of Patients are referred to an IP Rehab facility within 3 days of being designated as ALC◦ 58% are referred within 1 day
Wait 2 (Rehab Referral to Acceptance)◦ 80% of Patients had referral response times of 2 days or less
Geriatric, Stroke, and MSK represent 62% of the most common type of rehab being referred to
Low volume of Rehab patients that are designated ALC and awaiting placement◦ average number of days waiting varies by facility◦ Longer waits for Home care and LTC placement from IP Rehab units/facilities

Results of Orthopaedic Stakeholder Engagement – ALC Rehab Symposium on Orthopaedic Care
29
Two Symposiums:
Physician Stakeholder Session – April 24th
◦ Raise awareness amongst physicians of provincial efforts◦ Discuss impact of provincial initiatives on care planning◦ Provide an opportunity for physicians to render their input to
how to implement the proposed changes
Administrative Stakeholder Session – April 25th
◦ Raise awareness of provincial efforts◦ Provide an opportunity to hear about other LHIN-based efforts ◦ Discuss potential impact of MOHLTC funding reform ◦ Provide an opportunity for input on how to implement the
proposed changes
Stakeholder Engagement Sessions

Series of recommendations arising out of stakeholder engagement sessions and steering committee deliberations
Key Areas:1. System right-sizing2. Standardized Care Plans3. Patient Flow4. Location of OP Rehab5. Communication6. Funding Reform
Recommendations
31
1. Primary, Unilateral Hip & Knee Replacements◦ In accordance with Ontario Bone & Joint Network best-practice guidelines and
MOHLTC/Orthopedic Scorecard performance targets for orthopaedic care, the acute care system will reduce its reliance on inpatient rehabilitation for TJR patients, and move towards a 90% (+ 9) rate for discharge home (with appropriate supports)
◦ Therapy for the 90% discharged home will include a combination of in-home CCAC services, hospital, community based outpatient services (details on patient care guidelines to follow)
◦ In addition, a target ALOS of 4.4 days will be implemented for this patient population
2. Hip Fractures◦ Changes in management of TJRs will provide earlier access to inpatient rehabilitation for Hip
Fracture patients◦ Increased use of inpatient rehabilitation for Hip Fracture patients, in accordance with best
practice guidelines and standardized care pathways (to be developed)
These changes combined should create additional IP Rehab capacity for stroke patients (CLHIN Phase Two report on Stroke to be released in Fall 2012)
A Rehab Capacity and Sizing Working Group will be established to consider the implications for the siting of MSK and Stroke services within the Central LHIN.
System Right-sizing
32
3. Need to develop standardized care pathways that can be used consistently across all CLHIN Hospitals in management of TJRs and Hip Fractures
◦ Lack of existing documentation in current system is creating variation in care management of these patients
◦ Need to build on existing best practice guidelines and care pathways developed in other LHINs i.e. TC LHIN toolkit
◦ Pathway should include guidelines for home-based and/or hospital-based/other OP physiotherapy
◦ Standardization of processes is required and clear targets need to be established throughout episode of care. For example, what should we expect with regards to patient outcomes at day 1, day 2, etc…
◦ Messaging needs to be multi-lingual
4. Standardized pathways for TKR should include post-surgical guidelines for flexion and extension. For example,◦ If flexion does not reach 90 degrees within 4 weeks post surgery surgeons should
be notified◦ flexion of 110-120 degrees at the end of the therapy◦ full extension of the knee prior to being discharged from therapy
Standardized Care Pathway
33
5. Care pathways need to delineate clear decision-making criteria for pathway algorithms
◦ For example, factors such as patient age, weight-bearing status, cognitive impairment, and other co-morbidities need to be factored into creation of pathway algorithms
◦ Standardized way of triaging patients based on early and timely access to rehab◦ Should involve other members of clinical team in application of discharge criteria
6. Creation of implementation plan to ensure pathway adoption and necessary allocation/re-allocation of resources, where necessary
◦ Resources may need to be re-allocated both within organizations and system-wide to meet pathway care requirements
◦ Augmentation of OP physiotherapy/rehab will be required to ensure timely access to post-acute care
◦ Impact on rehab skill mix also needs to be considered as more TJRs are referred to OP settings
Standardized Care Pathway (cont.)
34
7. Need to improve timeliness of rehab referrals and response times◦ ALC Rehab survey results showed that significant variation exists in wait times by
facility (for both wait 1 and wait 2) 70% of Patients are referred to an IP Rehab facility within 3 days of being designated as ALC 80% of Patients had referral response times of 2 days or less
◦ Weekend resources may need to be augmented to ensure timely referrals and improve overall patient flow effectively to establish 7 day a week business processes
◦ Relatively efficient in overall management of ALC days for wait one and wait two (majority are short stay discharges)
◦ Findings suggest that while rehab does account for substantial number of ALC cases, they are not the long stay ALC patients
8. Strong support for ensuring adherence to GTA Rehab Network protocols on referral to sub-acute system
◦ Different standards are being applied on acceptance of referrals; even under RMR sub-acute facilities are asking for additional information
◦ Inconsistencies and lack of standardization in application process ◦ Some facilities have noted that it takes anywhere between 60-90 min per patient
to issue out referral
Patient Flow
35
9. CCAC requirements for “medically stable” patient needs to be re-visited◦ Messaging that patient has to be identified as ALC before CCAC RAI-HC
assessment can be undertaken is not correct◦ CCAC requirements state patient must be “medically stable” before assessments
can be done◦ However, this does not facilitate efficient patient flow because patients often end
up waiting (post ALC designation) for assessment to be completed◦ Need to investigate feasibility of implementing parallel processes so that
assessments can be undertaken earlier in acute care episode to allow for effective discharge planning
10. RMR electronic referral must include TCLHIN rehab facilities and CLHIN acute hospital based rehabilitation units
◦ Current system doesn’t necessarily ensure timely and transparent access to patients awaiting placement in IP Rehab
◦ Hospitals with designated rehab beds/units often give preferential access to their patients
◦ Enabling electronic referral to any rehab bed within the CLHIN system would create a level-playing field and ensure access to the “right bed at the right time”
◦ At a minimum, standardized response times should be set for responses to referral requests and compliance to response time targets should be monitored
Patient Flow (cont.)
36
11. Location of OP Rehab should leverage existing capacity and ensure equitable access across Central LHIN
◦ TCLHIN report recommends using hospital based OP physio clinics to maximize cost –efficiency and facilitate standardized approach to rehab care
◦ However, CLHIN geography is different; key principle needs to be geographical equity ◦ CLHIN may not be able to locate OP rehab exclusively at Hospital sites due to rural geography,
but also need to consider issues of critical mass in more rural areas; need to strike a balance between patient travel times and critical mass and possibly leverage home-based physio in more rural areas of CLHIN
◦ Is it a possible for CCAC to have congregate care type clinics in more rural settings? can LHIN contract services from private clinics?
◦ Parking discounts at hospital-based settings is a fundamental requirement to equitable access◦ Investigate access to care in evenings and weekends; clinic access should not just be Monday
to Friday, but also on weekends and evenings – want to encourage people to get back to work◦ Optimize LTC facilities for those patients who came from LTC
Location of OP Rehab
37
12. Irrespective of OP Rehab setting, there needs to be standardized outcome measures collected at standardized times and LT follow-up is encouraged
◦ Need to ensure that appropriate communication processes are set up with surgeon
◦ Consider creation of accredited OP rehab care providers/facilities which are appropriately trained on care pathway and required physiotherapy regimen
◦ Facility/providers should not be paid until outcome measures are achieved◦ Strengthen relationship outside of traditional rehab model –relationship to active
facilities i.e. fitness centres? Community centres?
Location of OP Rehab (cont.)
38
13. Consistent strategy and messaging required to manage patient expectations regarding access to IP rehab post-surgery
◦ no legislative requirement for patient to identify 3 choices for placement in IP rehab – only applies to LTC home placement
◦ Need for consistent patient education strategy and information pamphlets and/or letters identifying OP rehab options and locations of OP physiotherapy clinics (within and outside of the hospital setting
14. Need for strong relationship between care provider and surgeons post-discharge
◦ Consider establishment of clinic days where OP physio care providers and surgeon meet to discuss patient progress and treatment plans
◦ Strong recommendation for IT communication enablers between CCAC, Surgeon’s offices, and hospital
Communication
39
15. Need for further clarity on MOHLTC Funding Reform and impact of newly proposed Quality Based Procedure funding on the delivery of orthopaedic care in Central LHIN◦ General belief that new funding model will create less variation and more
standardized pathways and perhaps even Increase quality◦ Focus on outcomes will become paramount◦ Concern regarding double dipping (private funding under insurance plans for some
patients vs. MOH public funding; Private funding options should be exhausted first prior to use of public funds
16. Impact of new funding model on hospitals and physicians not clearly understood ◦ Will new funding model lead to creation of centres of excellence in certain
procedures?◦ What impact will funding model have on use of Ortho implants? Hospitals may
want to consider developing tighter protocols for when certain high-cost implants are used
◦ Hospital Decision Support, Health Records and IT resources will be key to measuring hospital performance in new era of funding
◦ Will we be re-distributing OR time depending on physician efficiency? Re-allocation of blocks due to funding mechanism, volume, quality, etc…?
Funding Reform
