A Nurse-Led Multidisciplinary Team Approach to Improving Heart
Failure Patient Transitions and Reducing
Readmissions

Reducing avoidable readmissions of heart failure patients on the national agenda• Heart failure (HF) currently affects 6.5 million adults in the US• Prevalence of HF projected to increase by 25% by 2030• Hospitalizations are responsible for the majority of $39 billion spent
annually for HF care• The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has mandated
reporting of hospital-level 30-day readmission rates for HF, acute myocardial infarction, PNA (now inclusive of other diagnoses)
• CMS penalties initiated Oct 2012

Heart Failure Interventions: A LEAN-based Approach
7
Redesign of HF Patient Transitions of Care: Interventions
• HF CNS Consult Order• Risk assessment and flagging high-risk patient in EPIC• Medication reconciliation processes
redesigned, including MD workflows; enhanced medication education
• Enhanced patient/caregiver education using teach back
• Follow up appointments made prior to discharge
• Post-discharge phone follow up with template integration into EHR

Readmission Metrics from Electronic Health Record to HF Dashboard
Current filter selections displayed here
Individual or multiple rules can be selected to filter the patient cohort
Current State displays 30 days readmit rate, 90 days readmit rate, and Balance measures for last 30
and 90 days
Actual discharge and readmit counts for the rates are displayed below the gauge
Filter dashboard
view by unit, age
etc.
Readmission Trending Chart
compares last 30 and 90 days rate
to previous months, quarters
or year
Trending Chart toggles between readmission rate and patient readmit count
The Bar Charts compare the Index Admission Length Of Stay to Readmit Length Of Stay and the Days to Readmit

Collaboration: Promoting Nurse as Educator
– Two hour workshops on health literacy and teach back for staff on three key patient care units
– Creation of video• Nursing Education website• Stanford YouTube
– Incorporation of teach back into unit orientation
– Spread to multidisciplines, inpatient & outpatient
– Documentation in EMR & tracked on Dashboard
11
Teach Back on the HF Dashboard
12
Collaboration: Medication Safety
• Improved Medication Reconciliation processes on Admission and Discharge
• An accurate, understandable medication list at discharge
• Pharm Techs in ED to assist with creating current med list
• New Transitions of Care Pharmacist role implemented, 7 days/week for HF & complex Medicine patients
13
Redesign of HF Educational Materials
• Multidisciplinary; patient reviewed
• Updated & synchronized inpatient/outpatient materials
• Multilingual• Hardcopy materials & SHC
website
14
Communication
• Monthly “What’s New in Heart Failure Care” newsletter e-mailed to staff
• Monthly multidisciplinary Heart Failure Operations Team meetings with community partners
• Weekly Heart Failure Clinical Effectiveness Council meetings (HF CEC)
• Use of HF Dashboard for “Active Daily Management” on patient care units
15
Collaboration: Community Outreach
• Aging Adult Services partnership home visits– Home monitoring pilot
• Patient Partners (P2) with Stanford School of Medicine (in-home health coaching)
• Skilled Nursing Staff education on HF patient assessment, care, and patient family education
• Quarterly roundtables with SNFs and Home Health providers
16
Patient Engagement in our Heart Failure Program
• Two committed volunteers for our Heart Failure Program serving 2 ½ years --- themselves HF patients
• Invaluable contributions to our HF Readmissions Reduction work• Review/critique the HF patient education tools• Attend monthly multidisciplinary HF Operations Team meetings• Participated in Rapid Process Improvement Workshop (RPIW)
using LEAN methodology for Medication Reconciliation• Participated in Value Stream Mapping for Heart Failure Patient
Care from point of entry into our system to transition home
17
Empathy Mapping: Overview
• Interview completed by a trained hospital volunteer using open-ended questions
– SAY: What are some quotes and defining words the patient said?– DO: What actions and behaviors did you notice?– THINK: What might the patient be thinking?
What does this tell you about his or her beliefs?– FEEL: What emotions might the patient be feeling?
• Empathy mapping allows us to synthesize observations and draw out unexpected insights
18
How can Empathy Mapping help?
• Identify prevalence of contributing factors or barriers to successful self-management for health, particularly in high-risk patients
• Insights on the patient’s experience of care processes and perception of communication
• Promotes patient reflection; feeling heard• Opportunity to address patient-specific issues• Evaluate aggregate data for themes and trends that can
inform re-design of processes of care to better meet physical and emotional needs
• Design and refinement of a healing environment of care

Lessons Learned
• Designing & implementing a patient-centered program for HF care that improves outcomes and reduces readmissions is a cross-functional team effort, spanning the care continuum – not a project but a culture change
• Active collaboration with community partners essential• Leveraging the EMR facilitates improved communication to and
consistent care practices• “Keep the patient at the center”: patient engagement and
participation is critical to success • Creating analytic tools that provide accessible, real-time metrics
to frontline staff & managers reinforces the effectiveness of nurse-sensitive interventions (e.g. use of teach back, post-discharge follow up calls)
22
Future Directions
• Spread of HF readmissions reduction standards across other secondary HF populations to improve patient care transitions
• Continue to review/refine current patient care interventions and add new interventions after pilot-testing
• Collaborate with non-specialty providers (e.g. Primary Care, General Medicine) on Best Practices for HF management
• Strengthen community partnerships and create evidence-based community standard
• Continue to develop & analyze our own prospective risk assessment tool utilizing data elements in the EMR
