description

This workshop will look at patient care pathways and demonstrate how simulation can combine process flow across; services, clinical best practice and the progression of patients through disease states, to test the impact of improvement initiatives on patient care, outcomes, costs and resource utilization. Using examples from recent projects on simulating care pathways within HIV services, and simulating future service needs for dementia care, we show the results of combining disease progression with service utilization. In the workshop, we’ll consider what the ideal pathway model would look like and invite you to work with us to build a pathway using our latest technology.

• Understanding patient care through pathways• How simulation can help• Examples• Standard of Care• Sharing across a community• How you can get involved

Agenda

Patient Care Pathways

Routinely used to understand and improve practice• Services • Clinical practice• Disease

Patient Care Pathways: Services

Process flow through services

Patient Care Pathways: Clinical Practice

Used to show best clinical practice.

Map of Medicine

Patient Care Pathways: Disease Progression

Show progression through disease states over time.

Our Approach to Simulating Pathways

Combining disease state transitions with best practice and service access.

Why?• Test impact of service redesign on disease

progression• Genericized – can be used and localised by any

group interested improving pathways for patients with the same condition

Disease Transitions: State Charts

• Define all disease states patients can transition to.

• Input the transitions between states. (Rates, %, Time)

• As simulation runs patients will transition to an from states based on the inputted rules.

Service Model

The disease transition model is linked to a service or treatment model.

As patients transition into different states they use different service. They trigger events in a DES model.

Best Clinical Practice

New interventions, best clinical practice, service redesign can all be tested for impact on:

Cost, Resource, Activity, Waiting times

AND

Disease Progression

Case Study 1: HIV

What is the impact of screening?

What is the impact of increasing frequency of attendance to improve adherence?

• on future burden of disease • projected treatment costs for the service

Simulated Demand: Catchment Population

The projected population is decreasing

SIMUL8 Corporation | SIMUL8.com | info@SIMUL8.com

25% of patients are undiagnosed and use this pathway.

Undiagnosed patients can infect others.

Late diagnosis leads to becoming symptomatic and very sick.

Diagnosis (Current State)

SIMUL8 Corporation | SIMUL8.com | info@SIMUL8.com

Diagnosis (Current State)

Successful ART leads to near normal life expectancy

Cost per year if symptomatic and AIDs

75% of patients are diagnosed and use this pathway.

Diagnosed but untreated can infect others

Late diagnosis leads to becoming symptomatic and very sick

What if screening reduces undiagnosed to 15%?

Costs decrease over time as fewer patients develop HIV Symptoms and Aids and fewer are infected, although follow ups increase.

Scenario 1 Results

What if we see patients every 3 instead of very 6 months and this increases successful ART?

Scenario 2

SIMUL8 Corporation | SIMUL8.com | info@SIMUL8.com

Scenario Results: Increasing Treatment Frequency

Costs increase but infections reduce. Symptomatic patients reduce in years 4 and 5

What are the key features of any disease pathway?

Share your thoughts via our survey monkey and we will report back.

Standard of Care

Imagine a simulated pathway including:• Expected demand from population health predictions and

disease progression• Evidence-based best clinical practice• Localizable to individual providers and populations

Answering questions:• What if I implement best practice?• What will this look like in 3-5 years time?• What resources will I need?• How much will it cost/what income will I earn?• Will I have patients waiting if I don’t increase staffing?• What will patient outcomes be?
