Roadmap for Improving Transitions and
Reducing Avoidable Rehospitalizations
Institute for Healthcare Improvement Reducing Avoidable Readmissions Seminar
8/31/2015
13
The Major Challenges
• Potentially preventable rehospitalizations are prevalent,
costly, burdensome for patients and families and
frustrating for providers
• No one provider or patient can “just work harder” to
address unplanned rehospitalization
• Our delivery system is highly fragmented - providers
often act in isolation and patients are usually responsible
for their own care coordination
• Most payment systems reward maximizing units of care
delivered rather than quality care over time
Opportunities
• Many re-hospitalizations are avoidable
• Nationally we are making progress
• Keys to reducing re-admissions include:
– Not focusing on the hospital alone
– Aligning financial incentives
– Addressing systematic barriers
– Fostering leadership at the multiple levels
Institute for Healthcare Improvement Reducing Avoidable Readmissions Seminar
8/31/2015
14
What Can Be Done and How?
A growing number of approaches to reduce 30-day readmissions have been successful locally
Which are high leverage?
Which are scalable?
Success requires engaging clinicians, providers across organizational and service delivery types, patients, payers, and policy makers
How to align incentives?
How to catalyze coordinated effort?
Determinants of Preventable Readmissions • Preventable readmissions have hallmark characteristics of
healthcare events prime for intervention and reform
• Patients with generally worse health and greater frailty are
more likely to be readmitted
• Identification of determinants does not provide a single
intervention or clear direction for how to reduce their
occurrence
• There is a need to:
– Address the tremendous complexity of contributing variables
– Identify modifiable risk factors (patient characteristics and health care
system opportunities)

Effective collaboration among health
care providers requires:
• Trusted convener (individual or organization)
• Cultivation of trust (common goals)
• Shared understanding of the challenges faced by each
participant (site visits and shadowing)
• Starting small and building on early progress
• Expand type of participants as needs arise
• Data to identify opportunities for improvement
• Focusing on patients’ needs and experiences
Loehrer S, McCarthy D, Coleman, EA Population Health Management DOI: 10.1089/pop.2015.0005
Target Populations: Each Have Challenges
1. Medicare
2. Medicaid
3. Dual-eligibles
4. Commercial
5. Uninsured

The Bad News:
There are No “Silver or Magic Bullets”!
….no straightforward solution perceived to
have extreme effectiveness
Conclusion: “No single intervention implemented
alone was regularly associated with reduced risk
for 30-day rehospitalization.”

Interventions to Reduce 30-Day Rehospitalizations: A
Systematic Review, Ann Int Medicine 2011; 155:520-528.
Hospital Readmission Program
• 2016 Readmission penalties are estimated at $420 million – average 0.61%
• 2592 Hospitals received lower Medicare payments for all Medicare patients
• Just slightly less than last year
• 6 million more that FY 2015 – 22% -- no penalties
– 63% -- 1% or below
– 11% -- 2% or below
– 4% -- 3% or below (38 hospitals got max. 3%)
• FY 2016 penalties were just announced, but 2017 penalties are already set

Did you meet Rebecca?
What can Rebecca Teach us?
Rebecca Bryson lives in Whatcom County, WA and she suffers
from diabetes, cardiomyopathy, congestive heart failure, and a
number of other significant complications; during the worst of her
health crises, she saw 14 doctors and took 42 medications. In
addition to the challenges of understanding her conditions and the
treatments they required, she was burdened by the job of
coordinating communication among all her providers, passing
information to each one after every admission, appointment, and
medication change.

Rebecca’s Story

Rebecca said if she were to dream up a tool that would be
truly helpful, it would be something that would help her
keep her care team all on the same page. Bryson described
typical medical records as being “location or process
centered, not patient-centered.” She also describes how
difficult it can be for patients to navigate a large health care
system. Rebecca summarizes her experience in this way –
“Patients are in the worst kind of maze, one filled with
hazards, barriers, and burdens.”

Lessons Learned
• Cross-continuum team partnerships transform
care processes together
• “Senders” and “receivers” partnerships agree upon
and design the needed local changes
– Vital few critical elements of patient information that
should be available at the time of discharge to
community providers
– Written handover communication for high risk patients is
insufficient; direct verbal communication allows for
inquiry and clarification
Cross Continuum Teams
A team of hospital and community-based clinicians
along with patients and family members:
• Provide oversight and guidance
• Help to connect improvement efforts across all care
settings
– Identify improvement opportunities
– Facilitate collaboration to test changes
– Facilitate learning across care settings
• Provide oversight for the initial pilot unit work and
establish a dissemination and scale-up strategy
Institute for Healthcare Improvement Reducing Avoidable Readmissions Seminar
8/31/2015
26
Cross Continuum Teams
CCTs: • Are one of the most transformational changes in IHI’s work to
improve care transitions
• Reinforce the idea that readmissions are not solely a hospital
problem
• Need engagement at two levels:
1) Executives remove barriers and develop overall strategies for
ensuring care coordination
2) Front-line leverages the power of “senders” and “receivers”
co-designing processes to improve transitions of care
Collaboration across care settings is a great foundation for integrated
care delivery models (e.g. bundled payment models, ACOs)
• Reducing readmissions is dependent on highly
functional cross-continuum teams and a focus on
the patient’s journey over time
• Providing intensive care management services for
targeted high risk patients is critical
Lessons Learned
Institute for Healthcare Improvement Reducing Avoidable Readmissions Seminar
8/31/2015
27
Diagnostic Case Reviews
• Provide opportunities for learning from reviewing a small sampling of patient experiences
• Engage the “hearts and minds” of clinicians and catalyze action toward problem-solving:
– Teams complete a formal review of the last five readmissions every 6 months (chart review and interviews)
– Members from the cross-continuum team hear first-hand about the transitional care problems “through the patients’ eyes”
Lessons Learned
• There are no universally agreed upon risk
assessment tools
– We need a much deeper understanding of how best
to meet the needs of high-risk patients
– Use practical methods to identify modifiable risks
• Written handover communication for high-risk
patients is insufficient

Summary
• Rehospitalizations are frequent, costly, and actionable for improvement
• The IHI approach acts on multiple levels – engaging hospitals and community providers, communities, and state leaders in pursuit of a common aim to reduce avoidable rehospitalizations
• Working to reduce rehospitalizations focuses on improved communication and coordination over time and across settings – With patients and family caregivers; – Between clinical providers; – Between the medical and social services (e.g. aging services, etc.)
• Working to reduce rehospitalizations is one part of a comprehensive strategy to promote patient-centered care and appropriate utilization of health care resources
