  16. Health Care Utilization Effects • Results showed more appropriate utilization of health care resources through decreased: • Outpatient visits • Emergency room visits • Hospitalizations • Days in hospital Ultimate Result: Reduction in health care expenditures

  17. Testimonials • “Because I have been afflicted with Parkinson’s for over 20 years, I have suffered a great deal of depression. The skills you've taught me in maintaining positive thinking and combating depression have really helped to improve my condition.” - John, age 69 • “I found the interaction with the other students in the class to be most enlightening. I realized that although I have a chronic illness I am not alone. Thank you for all the lessons in helping me to deal with this.” - Suzanne, age 57 • “The workshop put me back in charge of my life, and I feel great. I only wish I had done this sooner.” - Robert, age 68

  18. Los Angeles Caregiver Resource Center (LACRC) • Established in 1989, the LACRC provides information, support, training and respite assistance to families caregiving for a person with a brain impairment or chronic condition residing in Los Angeles county. • This program is one of a network of 11 similar CRCs across California. • As a program of Partners in Care Foundation, the LACRC helps identify caregiving individuals and links them with culturally and linguistically appropriate programs in their communities.

  19. LACRC Programs and Services: • Information and Referral • Support Groups (face to face and via the telephone) • Community Education (weekly or monthly events held in partnership with senior centers and other community-based organizations) • Caregiver Education: Evidence-based programs including Savvy Caregiver and Powerful Tools for Caregivers workshops. • Respite Assistance: Limited short –term grants to allow caregiving individuals to get relief from the many stressors related to providing care for their loved one. • Family Consultations: Assistance to caregivers in resolving and planning for immediate and long term care-related issues.

  20. Care Transitions • Health reform Section 3026 addresses high Medicare readmits in 30 days after discharge • CMS is funding tests of a new Medicare benefit – 101 nationally and 11 in California • The hospital partnerships fund CBOs – high risk are identified and seen in hospital/home and follow up calls • Forming a regional delivery system

  21. What a Home Visit Looks Like • Medication Risk Assessment • Room by room “Treasure hunt” • Assessment of possible adverse effects • Recent falls, dizziness, confusion, BP, pulse • Assessing client understanding and adherence • Environmental Assessment • Safety, cleanliness, maintenance, barriers to mobility • Evidence of problems • Fall Risks

  22. The Problem- Medication Errors • Serious: Over 700,000 people go to ED each year for adverse drug events • Costly: Drug-related morbidity/mortality > $170 billion • Common: Up to 48% of community-dwelling elders have medication-related problems • Preventable: At least 25% of all harmful adverse drug events are preventable

  23. Medications Related to Emergency Hospitalizations • Frequency and rates of hospitalization after ADE-related ED visits by older adults aged 65+* • Nearly half aged 80+ • 2/3 of hospitalizations due to unintentional overdose • Four medications/classes implicated alone or in combination in 67% of hospitalizations • Insulin and hyperglycemic medications • Anticoagulants & antiplatelets • High-risk-designated drugs implicated in 1.2% of hospitalizations * Emergency Hospitalizations for Adverse Drug Events in Older Americans. Daniel S. Budnitz, M.D., M.P.H., MaribethC. Lovegrove, M.P.H., Nadine Shehab, Pharm.D., M.P.H., and Chesley L. Richards, M.D., M.P.H. N Engl J Med 2011;365:2002-12

  24. The Importance a Home Visit • Uncovers many “secrets”… that prescribers may not know about • Over-the-counter medications & supplements • Medications prescribed by other providers • Adverse effects such as falls, dizziness, confusion • Assessment information • Incorrect self-dosing • Adherence issues • “Un-manageable care” • $4 co-pays at Wal-Mart < Part D co-pay $ • Medications from other countries • Medications “borrowed” from friends and family

  25. Evidence-based Protocols • Protocols identified by national expert consensus panel* • Target problems that can be identified and resolved in the home • Likely to get a positive response by prescribers and minimize “alert overload” • Protocols • Unnecessary therapeutic duplication • Use of psychotropic drugs in patients with a reported recent fall and/or confusion • Use of NSAID in patients at risk of PUD/gastrointestinal bleeding. • Selected Cardiovascular medication problems • Sub-optimal blood pressure control • Orthostatic changes/low systolic BP • Slow pulse *"A model for improving medication use in home health care patients " Brown, N. J., Griffin, M. R., Ray, W. A., Meredith, S., Beers, M. H., Marren, J., Robles, M., Stergachis, A., Wood, A. J., & Avorn, J. (1998).

  26. Further Evidence • USC Evaluation in nursing-home eligible community-dwelling population • Population: 615 Dual Eligibles, 65+ • Social workers & nurses collected data in home visit • Results ¹ ² • 49% had potential medication problems • 29%- pharmacist recommends intervention • 61% of clients referred to MD after pharmacist review had medication use improvement [1] Prevalence of Potential Medication Problems in Dually-Eligible Older Adults in Medicaid Waiver Services.
