Moving Care Beyond the Hospital Walls Slide 1: Intro Slide 2: Think about how you can start to shift your care away from being limited to one onone care and the confines of physical buildings. You have a wealth of information that your patients will benefit from – they are limited in receiving it if they only have a brief encounter with you. Slide 3: The next few slides refer to the current / traditional scenario when care is limited to physical buildings & 1 on 1 contact time. We acknowledge that a high number of hip fracture patients have other co morbidities and / or dementia. The scenarios presented here are more appropriate for patients who are elderly, but otherwise independent or need minimal assistance with ADL’s Slide 4: There are studies that show that patients commonly plateau in their ability to achieve previous functional ability especially post discharge “home”. Often related to lack of confidence and also wellmeaning “babying” by caregivers / family members. Slide 5: Depression is also a common factor post hip fracture, which negatively effects healing and the immune system. Poor coordination between stages of care is highly correlated with increased re admissions, medical complication, duplication of services and medical errors. Slide 6: Individual programs – nutrition, rehab etc take a long time to put together if they have to be built from scratch each time. People can only learn a couple of exercises at once, if they do not have a comprehensive, easy to follow version of the program that they can keep referring back to. 2 or 3 exercises is insufficient to address the consequence of a hip fracture, and more importantly to INCREASE a person’s functional health post fracture so that they are less likely to have another fall or fracture.

Moving  Care  Beyond  the  Hospital  Walls  

 

Slide  1:  Intro  

Slide  2:  

Think  about  how  you  can  start  to  shift  your  care  away  from  being  limited  to  one-­‐on-­‐one  care  and  the  confines  of  physical  buildings.    

You  have  a  wealth  of  information  that  your  patients  will  benefit  from  –  they  are  limited  in  receiving  it  if  they  only  have  a  brief  encounter  with  you.    

Slide  3:  

The  next  few  slides  refer  to  the  current  /  traditional  scenario  when  care  is  limited  to  physical  buildings  &  1  on  1  contact  time.    

We  acknowledge  that  a  high  number  of  hip  fracture  patients  have  other  co-­‐morbidities  and  /  or  dementia.    

The  scenarios  presented  here  are  more  appropriate  for  patients  who  are  elderly,  but  otherwise  independent  or  need  minimal  assistance  with  ADL’s  

Slide  4:  

There  are  studies  that  show  that  patients  commonly  plateau  in  their  ability  to  achieve  previous  functional  ability  especially  post  discharge  “home”.  

Often  related  to  lack  of  confidence  and  also  well-­‐meaning  “babying”  by  caregivers  /  family  members.  

Slide  5:  

Depression  is  also  a  common  factor  post  hip  fracture,  which  negatively  effects  healing  and  the  immune  system.    

Poor  co-­‐ordination  between  stages  of  care  is  highly  correlated  with  increased  re-­‐admissions,  medical  complication,  duplication  of  services  and  medical  errors.    

Slide  6:  

Individual  programs  –  nutrition,  rehab  etc  take  a  long  time  to  put  together  if  they  have  to  be  built  from  scratch  each  time.    

People  can  only  learn  a  couple  of  exercises  at  once,  if  they  do  not  have  a  comprehensive,  easy  to  follow  version  of  the  program  that  they  can  keep  referring  back  to.    

2  or  3  exercises  is  insufficient  to  address  the  consequence  of  a  hip  fracture,  and  more  importantly  to  INCREASE  a  person’s  functional  health  post  fracture  so  that  they  are  less  likely  to  have  another  fall  or  fracture.

Slide  7:  

Significant  load  on  the  main  caregiver  –  time  off  work,  their  health,  their  quality  of  life  etc.    

Slide  8:  

The  next  few  slides  are  to  demonstrate  how  the  same  scenario  can  be  dramatically  improved  by  overlaying  current  care  onto  myHealthpac  –  a  web  based  software  program  for  Health  Professionals  and  their  patients  

myHealthpac  is  one  of  SHI  Global’s  software  programs  

Meets  all  requirements  for  patient  privacy.security  of  data  etc.    Incredibly  cost  effective.  Probably  less  than  a  patient’s  hospital  meals  for  one  day!  

Designed  to  “talk  to”  existing  Patient  Management  Systems,  Electronic  Health  Records  and  The  National  Health  Database.  

Built  to  allow  seamless  integration  between  all  stages  of  care,  regardless  of  the  physical  location  of  the  health  professionals  involved.  Enables  all  health  professionals  to  work  together  on  the  patient’s  care  –  but  the  patient  only  ever  sees  one  plan.  From  the  patient’s  side  there  is  no  confusion  or  conflicting  advice.    

Slide  9:  

Users  can  use  as  much  or  as  little  of  the  platform  as  they  like.    

For  example  an  individual  team  e.g.  the  hip  fracture  team,  might  use  the  existing  myHealthpac  system,  using  mostly  our  exercise  videos  and  put  their  own  relevant  information  on  the  site,  or  an  organisation  or  hospital  might  use  the  entire  platform  and  rebrand  it  as  their  own  for  example  Diabletes  Australia  Victoria  for  their  “Life”  wellness  program  of  diet,  exercise  and  information  /  learning  modules  for  patients  with  type  2  diabetes.    

Slide  10:  

myHealthpac  is  patient  centered.  It  enables  multiple  health  providers  to  create  patient  specific,  co-­‐ordinated  and  streamlined  information  /  exercise  plans  for  patients.  Health  providers  can  be  in  different  physical  locations,  but  can  all  see  what  the  other  Health  professionals  are  doing  if  they  have  been  invited  to  take  part  in  the  patient’s  care.    

Patient’s  only  see  one  plan  –  they  just  have  ONE  webpage  to  log  in  to  where  they  see  EVERYTHING  that  they  need  relevant  to  their  care.  i.e  nutrition,  pharma,  exercise,  general  information,  appointment  reminders  etc.    

Patient’s  can  invite  a  caregiver  to  be  able  to  view  their  page,  from  wherever  the  care  giver  is  based.    

Slide  11  

Patient  logs  in  to  their  own  web  page.  As  long  as  a  patient  is  computer  savvy  enough  to  check  their  email  they  can  use  this  system!  

Page 3: Rachel Vickery, Physiopac Ltd: Moving care beyond the hospital walls (supporting notes)

Everything  is  printable  for  patients  without  internet  access.  Caregivers  can  log  in  to  help  patients.    

Everything  that  the  patient  needs  to  access  about  their  care  can  be  access  from  this  page  –  any  general  information  put  in  place  by  the  careteam,  specific  exercises,  nutrition,  Tasks,  communications  etc    

Slide  12:  

A  Health  team  can  put  in  place  content  at  the  time  of  the  consult  i.e.  a  physio  can  put  some  exercises  on  the  patient’s  plan  when  they  see  them.    

Most  efficient  and  powerful  way  to  use  myHealthpac  is  to  create  Carepacs  for  conditions  that  are  seem  regularly  

Slide  13:  

Carepacs  are  Generic  timelines,  built  as  templates,  that  dictates  when  specific  exercises,  information,  or  other  relevant  content  is  made  visible  to  a  patient  

This  is  powerful  when  there  is  a  lot  of  generic  information  that  they  patient  will  benefit  from,  but  that  is  appropriate  at  different  time  points  moving  forward.  i.e.  a  patient  just  discharged  from  hospital  may  not  be  ready  for  information  about  walking  on  crutches,  or  picking  up  objects  off  the  floor,  but  would  benefit  from  this  advice  in  the  future.  Similarly,  exercises  can  be  set  up  as  a  Generic  Template  that  follows  the  “norm”  or  “post  op  protocol”  for  a  particular  procedure,  but  is  then  fine  tuned  when  it  is  used  for  a  specific  patient.    Exercises  can  be  pre-­‐populated  with  appropriate  sets,  reps  etc  to  speed  up  the  process  further  down  the  track.    

Carepacs  might  be  a  few  days  or  a  few  months  in  length.  

The  Carepac  is  built  as  a  one-­‐off  in  advance,  by  potentially  multiple  health  care  providers  of  different  disciplines  and  is  then  selected  for  use  for  a  specific  patient.      EVERYTHING  from  the  Generic  carepac  can  be  edited,  added  to,  deleted  from  etc  as  relevant  for  the  patient  in  question  but  it  takes  away  a  lot  of  the  bulk  repetition  and  time  in  creating  patient  programs  and  management  plans.    

Using  an  existing  carepac  it  takes  less  than  2  minutes  to  enter  a  new  patient  on  the  system,  select  the  appropriate  carepac,  and  then  get  it  underway  for  them.  

Slide  14:  

Any  information  can  be  added  either  as  a  word  document,  PDF  or  video.    

ANYTHING  that  you  want  to  get  out  to  your  patients  and  caregivers  you  can  –  you  are  only  limited  by  your  imagination.    

For  example  in  elective  surgery  we  have  teams  that  include  videos  from  the  anaesthetists,  videos  from  the  nursing  staff  explaining  what  will  happen  when  they  first  return  to  the  ward,  why  Obs  are  taken  so  frequently  etc.    

The  aim  is  to  educate  and  empower  patients,  and  to  reduce  their  anxiety.    

Page 4: Rachel Vickery, Physiopac Ltd: Moving care beyond the hospital walls (supporting notes)

The  aim  for  Health  care  team  and  organisations  is  to  increase  efficiency  of  what  they  do,  minimise  costs,  create  safer  environments  and  outcomes  for  patients  and  staff.    

Slide  15  

This  video  is  added  separately.    Please  watch  Hip  Fracture  Carepac.mp4  

•http://youtu.be/TRCXE8hNQiI  

Slide  16:  

This  is  just  an  example.  It  is  appropriate  and  relevant  for  any  condition.    

Slide  17:  self  explanatory  

Slide  18:  

Opening  care  of  patients  broader  than  just  one  on  one  time  and  physical  boundaries  of  a  clinic  /  hospital  has  changed  the  out  come  that  my  patients  get.    

You  may  not  be  ready  for  something  like  myHealthpac  but  think  about  how  you  can  get  your  information,  advice  and  knowledge  out  to  your  patients  perhaps  doing  some  videos  and  putting  them  on  youtube,  or  doing  skype  consults    

Slide  19:  

Please  email  me  on  [email protected]  if  you  would  like  any  help  or  advice  as  to  whether  this  would  be  suitable  for  your  team.    We  work  proactively  with  teams  and  organisations  because  we  know  many  Health  professionals  don’t  have  the  time  or  interest  in  learning  new  software  /  IT  systems.  You  don’t  have  to  be  tech  savvy  –  just  ready  and  willing  to  offer  something  better  to  your  patients.  

This  is  a  brilliant  tool  for  research  also  as  every  piece  of  data  is  captured  in  a  unique  sell.  Again,  please  email  me  if  you  are  interested  in  using  myHealthpac  as  a  tool  for  research.
