03/31/2012: N0400A = [1] • For assessments with target dates on or after
04/01/2012:N0410A=[1,2,3,4,5,6,7]

• Concerns were raised that diagnosis of ϲΤϮϱϮβϱΖ Ζ ΣβϱϤ Ζήβ ϳϽϱμϳ Ϯβ β of antipsychotic medications.
• American Health Care Association convened stakeholder organizations and after discussion a joint summary statement was developed and approved.

12
Joint Summary Statement
• The development of schizophrenia is uncommon in older adults.
A diagnosis of new onset schizophrenia in a post-acute and long-term care setting should be made by a qualified health professional, with mental health training, using DSM-5 criteria.
• The diagnosis should be made only after underlying causes of the symptoms have been excluded through a careful review process.
13
Joint Summary Statement (cont.)
• Clinicians need to be mindful of and avoid labeling patients with diagnoses to justify the use of medications or other treatments.
• It is important to acknowledge that some patients with dementia may benefit from treatment with psychotropic medications if they are clinically indicated and non-pharmacological approaches to care have been ineffective or are contraindicated.

Primary Mental Health Disorders and Psychosis
Schizophrenia is a major mental health disorder that has specific diagnostic criteria outlined in the DSM-5. • Key criteria are the presence of psychotic symptoms,
hallucinations, and delusions. • Other major mental health disorders may also have psychotic
symptoms, such as bipolar disorder, schizoaffective disorder, and delusional disorder.
• Psychotic symptoms can also occur in the course of other medical illnesses, including dementia and delirium.
• Residents with long standing mental health disorders can also develop dementia as they age and have associated symptoms related to dementia, that are superimposed on their chronic mental health condition.
19
Nursing Home Residents and Primary Mental Health Disorders
• Typically admitted at a younger age than residents without major mental health disorder.
• Maybe stable on long-term medication management, but when additional medical problems develop may exacerbate.
• Diagnosis may not be clear from preceding hospital stay and may not be included, or may be Ζ ϱΖΤΤΖβ ϲΖΣβϳ ϱμ βΖβή Ϯβ βΖ for admission.
21
New Diagnosis of Primary Mental Health Disorder
ϲNβϳ Ζήήβή ήϱΖϤϱ Ζ ΤΤ ϱ ϱϤ homes when:
• Initial psychosocial assessment reveals missed information.
•Escalation of symptoms as part of the course of illness leads to identifying prior history.
Nβϫ ϲNβϳ diagnosis, late in life without prior symptoms is unlikely.
22
Evaluation of a Schizophrenia Diagnosis
• Review old records from the hospital, community mental health center, primary care, or outpatient psychiatry;
• Look for prior psychiatric diagnostic evaluations, hospitalizations, and prior psychiatric treatment, including antipsychotic medication use and the use of other psychotropics.
23
Evaluation of a Schizophrenia Diagnosis (cont.)
If there is no history of psychiatric treatment, and the first symptoms or deterioration occur when the resident is in a nursing home, it is more likely the onset of a Minor or Major Neurocognitive Disorder (Dementia), rather than a Psychotic Disorder, such as schizophrenia.
24
Elements of a thorough Diagnostic Evaluation:
• History from record review, facility staff, resident, family, and/or resident representative
• Medical evaluation, including physical exam and laboratory assessment, and psychiatric evaluation from mental health professional
25
Evaluation of the Treatment Process after Diagnosis:
• Discussion about the diagnosis, including advance care planning
• Discussion about treatment options, including informed consent if an antipsychotic medication is started
• Close monitoring of beneficial and/or adverse effects after the start of any psychotropic medication
• Reassessment of need to continue medication
26
Better Approach to Behavioral Health in Nursing Homes
• Behavioral health rounds/meeting
• Medical/Behavioral co-management
• Who manages the diagnosis list?
• Who manages psychotropic medications?
• Role of the Consultant Pharmacist
• Discussion of psychotropic medication usage in QAA meetings

National Nursing Home Quality Care Collaborative (NNHQCC)
Aligned with other national nursing home quality initiatives, led by Quality Innovation Network-Quality Improvement Organizations (QIN-QIOs),
79% of nursing homes participating

Questions We are Hearing
• What are the nursing home focus areas of QIOs? • What is the NNHQCC? • How does the QIN-QIO work support and align with the
National Partnership for Dementia Care and QAPI? • What tools and resources are available to nursing
homes, partners, and other interested persons?
30
QIN NCC
• The QIN NCC supports a national network of 14 QIN-QIOs as they implement the national quality initiatives of the QIO Program.
31
QIN-QIOs work with Nursing Homes: Alignment with National Initiatives
• Work with nursing homes to improve quality of resident-centered care and safety. • NNHQCC Support recruited nursing homes: ◦ In using QAPI as a framework to achieve system wide improvement ◦ In reducing inappropriate use of antipsychotics ◦ In implementing antibiotic stewardship and preventing and managing
Clostridium difficile infections (CDI)
Use Quality Measure Composite Score to monitor progress.
33
QIN-QIOs work with Nursing Homes: Alignment with National Initiatives
• QIN-QIOs are sharing information and resources with nursing homes to guide successful implementation of NNHQCC and the regulation. Focusing on QAPI methods and techniques to improve
systems and processes and meet the intent of the regulation.
• QIN-QIOs are aligning efforts with partners, To provide support and education for nursing homes, and to
promote and share consistent messages.
34
NNHQCC: CDI Cohort
• Utilizing the QIN-QIO led Collaborative, the CDI Cohort will: Increase the number of nursing homes that are consistently
reporting data into the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) database. Establish a QIN-QIO-derived national Nursing Home CDI
baseline. Improve quality of care outcomes for nursing home residents
through tracking CDIs, implementing antibiotic stewardship, and effectively preventing and managing CDIs.
35
Progress to Date – Recruitment
• As of March 2017 12,217 nursing homes are recruited to participate in the NNHQCC. 79% of the nation’s nursing homes
• Of the 12,217 2,630 one-star nursing homes are recruited to participate in the NNHQCC.
• As of April 10, 2017 2,341 nursing homes are enrolled ϱ Ϯβ �D�ϯ NHϲN ήΖΖΣΖβϬ
