INTRODUCTION CARE TEAM & INTEGRATED DELIVERY MODEL
Hemodialysis patients have numerous medical needs and account for significant healthcare costs.
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) significantly increases admissions, amputations, morbidity, and mortality in hemodialysis patients.
Amputations increased Mortality increased
PAD is frequently under-diagnosed and many times high-risk patients are not evaluated for PAD. OBJECTIVES
RESULTS: STRUCTURAL & PROCESS OUTCOMES
CONCLUSIONS
Changes made to the initial phase based on team experiences/input led to greater success, team satisfaction. Learning organizations are more likely to achieve success.
This program failed due to a lack of: Communication Consensus building Leadership qualities within one unit
Leadership from each unit was based on role prior to program development. Leaders by title have a name, whereas leaders who influence others get results.
When implementing integrated care models the following are critical:
Have leaders for each unit Have the influential leaders, not just
leaders based on title Account for complexity of business
structures and personal dynamics within and between clinical and functional units

Clinical team = Nephrology (competing practices in LLC) Interventional radiology (1099 for LLC) Podiatric medicine (private practice)
Feedback from CORP/clinical unit leadership prior to finalizing program for pilot
Pilot screening phase at two hemodialysis centers
Feedback from staff during screenings and feedback from clinical units after screening
Outcomes Assessment Clinical = clinical data from screenings Structural/Process = data from
screenings and interviews of care team leaders
• Screened 201 patientsCORP
• 87.1% with PAD risk factors or clinical findingsCORP
• 54.5% diagnosed with PADDPM
