Population Health Program OverviewWellness & Disease Management SeriesMary Jane Clark, MS, RN, CHES(r), CHWC®, Grant and Wellness Coordinator, ICAHN

Wellness and Chronic Disease Management programs are the hands of a Population Health Program. For many hospitals developing population health initiatives, beginning a program with your own hospital staff first has been successful, before rolling out a community program. By leveraging data analytics, health plan data, and other resources, we are able to identify health trends within our employee population, build impactful wellness initiatives around these trends, and improve employee health. By building a culture of health and engaging employees in wellness, healthcare costs can be better continued and employee’s report changed lives. Outside of just hospital staff, a community‐based wellness program can help lead sustainable and impactful change, improving the quality of life of the population, as well as the economic standing of the community and community pride.

Unlike other series, the Wellness and Disease Management series content will not be finalized until the submission of the Readiness Assessment, so that we can help participating hospitals in the areas of most need. However, the general outline for training and for training dates is below:

Other Population Health Program Training & ResourcesRural Case Management Virtual Book ClubThere is no doubt that case management plays an increasingly important role in the management of quality outcomes of care. Case

managers, and others responsible for helping patients to coordinate the complex environment, help to ensure that patients get the best care

and can help contribute to their hospital’s bottom line. In addition to these opportunities for Case Management, there are also numerous

challenges- many of which are heightened in the rural setting. Case managers find themselves at the forefront of collaborating with multiple

providers, managing discharges and transitions of care, and increased scrutiny in areas of compliance and financial audits. The day-to-day

case management struggles alone can be overwhelming.

The objective of the Case Management Virtual Book Club is to provide ongoing training, support, and an opportunity for collaboration and

sharing of best practices among those involved in case management in a small or rural hospital. Utilizing the Book Club Resource, CMSA

Core Curriculum for Case Management (3rd Edition), the case manager book club will include a discussion and review of a set of book

chapters each month, moderated by Dr. Angie Charlet. Participants will be provided with a textbook, and will be asked to come to the Book

Club ready to discuss the chapter homework each month.

enough, or cynical. These support courses are meant to help staff personally in their pursuit of wellness, as well as help

to identify how to help others.

Returning: Chronic Care Management ImplementationTraining and Support - ICAHNThe regulatory world surrounding Chronic Care Management has evolved over the last two years for the rural community. With this it has become increasingly difficult to navigate through all the changing opprtunities, and to figure out how to get your CCM program moving forward.Led by a Care Management Specialist, the goal of the program is to provide healthcare facilities with the most up to date information, and to help them identify how to implement a successful CCM program within their current processes. The program will provide education on regulatory requirements, common hurdles and barriers to implementation, care coordination workflows, data and quality improvement impacts, and reimbursement processes and opportunities. At the end of this support and training, facilities will be equipped with the knowledge and the tools to implement a compliant and billable CCM Program.

NEW! Crisis Prevention Intervention (CPI) Training-ICAHNIn healthcare, we might deal with angry, hostile, or noncompliant behavior every day. Our responses to defensive behavior is often the key to avoiding a physical confrontation with someone who has lost control of their behavior. Through CPI Training, at least one person should be trained at your organization who can then train others in the de-escalation of violent patients or family members in the safest, most effective way possible. For small & rural, hospitals, it can be difficult to maintain this standard, so hospitals may also want to consider collaborating with others regionally or within systems to participate in this specific “train the trainer” program. Training will be held over a 4 day class on September25-28, 2018 in Princeton, IL. (Selection of this project allows for a $1,500 scholarship towards the individual certification if another project option is also section: cost to hospitals will be $1,700 out of pocket. Or, select only this project for no out of pocket cost to hospital.)

between rural hospitals and their community nursing

homes is critical. In this group, ICAHN and Kerry

Dunning will provide a foundation of training around

improving transferring care communication. It will also

offer an onsite moderator for your hospital to host

a luncheon or event with area nursing homes to

facilitate conversation, perform strategic planning/SWOTS,

and set goals for improvement and tracking.

Step Up to the Smorgasbord.1. Remember‐ this is not all meant for one person.. (and your hospital may not need or

want to participate in everything!)2. Break it up: assign one person to coordinate or lead the Pop Health group, one to lead

the Financial Stability program group, and one to lead each Project.3. Invite other staff to the table! Everyone at your hospital is invited to participate in the

program offerings. Make sure they are at least aware of options and resources.
