  6. Joint Principles of the Patient-Centered Medical Home AAFP, AAP, ACP, AOA Ongoing relationship with personal physician Physician directed medical practice Whole person orientation Enhanced access to care Coordinated care across the health system Quality and safety Payment 6

  7. Primary Care in the VA • EMR (CPRS) – Fully Integrated; ‘Paperless’ • Pharmacy Clinics – Clinical Pharmacists • Chronic Disease Management (Wagner Model) • 1.0 – 3.0 (2.2) PC Support Staff to 1.0 Provider FTE • Ubiquitous Clinical Metrics, including HEDIS • CAHPS Satisfaction/Experience Scores • Costs – Pharmacy, Lab, Imaging, Clinical Services • Integrated (co-located) MH services • Patients Assigned to PCP: Max Panel = 1200

  8. Medical Home Pilot Time Frame • Conceived Spring of 2008 • Proposal for local Innovation Grant – Approved • Imbedded project into IHI Triple Aim – Phase II • June 2008, Team Formation and Planning Begins • September 1, 2008, PCMH Clinic ‘opens’ • Spread to next core teams – September 2009

  13. Approach Team, System Redesign, Medical Home Principles

  14. Constructing Exceptional Primary Care Leadership Leadership TIME

  15. Team Development and Function • Roles and Responsibilities • Conflict Resolution • Effective and Safe Communication • Personalities – Strengths Assessment • Developing a Shared Charter/Vision • Working together • Planning, Implementation, System Redesign • Measurement of ‘Team’

  16. System Redesign at the Front Line • PDSA Rapid Cycle Improvement • Basic LEAN principles – Flow mapping, measuring • Weekly Data Driven Decisions • Open Access – Reinforcing principles • Continuous Panel Management • Weekly (1-hr) Performance-based Meetings • Data Acquisition and Presentation

  17. Time • Pre-training and Education • Weekly to bi-monthly ½ to 1 day sessions (3 months) • Weekly Team Meetings • Quarterly Breakouts • Daily Decisions • Care Management and Coordination • Non-face to face care frees up some clinic time • Open Access Scheduling • Continuously and rigorously applied • Daily Huddles

  18. Performance

  19. The Use of Data • What you measure = how you will Act • Timely – frequently enough • Actionable – team knows what it means • Accurate – not flawless, but reasonable • Continuously Maturing • Measurement • Is it measuring what you want to change? • Is it sensitive enough to show change? • Is it measuring patient-centered view, or health system view?

  20. Key Lessons Learned (ing) • Measuring Team Dynamic – Performance • Leadership • Good Data in the Hands of Good People • High Performing Team Dynamic – Limited/Cyclical • Nutting et.al. NDP and “Adaptive Reserve” • Time – Commerce of the Medical Home • We Were not Patient-Centered Enough

  21. What’s Next – National/Regional • History of Primary Care in the VA – 10 year • Pulling all of the pieces together • National and Regional (VISN) efforts • Universal Services Task Force Report • Care Coordination and Chronic Disease Management • National Implementation • System Redesign at the Front-line • Team Dynamic and Function

  22. What’s Next - Local • Spread • 2 patients on the Core Team weekly meetings • Or a patient council • Coordination of Care – Dual Care Focus • Continuous Learning – Working in Team • Measurement (drives change): Health, Cost, Patient Experience • Team Function/Dynamic • “Hominess”

  23. Unsolicited Advice • The principles of Medical Home should guide action • Create a multidisciplinary high performing team • Share a Vision that is focused on Quality and Safety • Be knowledgeable about process, flow, and improvement science => gained efficiencies. • Pick the ‘low hanging fruit’ – measure • Involve patients • Be data driven • Celebrate Successes • Learn, evolve, and don’t avoid ‘failure’
