Diabetes Project Summary Project Objective To develop and implement a chronic disease management intervention with the goals of improving effective management of chronic conditions and ultimately improving patient clinical indicators, health outcomes and quality, and reducing unnecessary acute and emergency care utilization. Project Goals Implement diabetes order set and clinical pathways Develop diabetes self management education program Train staff in Wagner Model/Chronic Care Model Form interdisciplinary team focused on diabetic patient care Target Population ED patients with a principal or secondary diagnosis of diabetes lacking knowledge of disease management Focus on diabetic ED patients identified as “high risk” based on clinical protocols of HbA1c 9%, ED visits in past 12 months, and/or lack of diabetes education in last 5 years

Diabetes Project Summary Project Staffing for Methodist Dallas Health Center Care Management Director 2 ED Patient Navigators (RN & MSW) Services Provided Schedules and provides referrals for primary care provider appointments Provides individualized diabetes education Connects patient to group diabetes education Provide referrals for other community resources as needed Ensures that patients admitted from the ED have appropriate diabetes-specific order sets in place Periodic follow up (based on risk level) with patients 30 days post discharge

Methodist Dallas ED ED Diabetic Patient Statistics 48% Medicare Almost 60,000 Emergency Department visits 13% 19% Self Pay are diabetic patients 18% Other insurance 15% Medicaid Source: Dallas MHC DY2 DSRIP Baseline Data

Project Structure Based on Wagner Model (Chronic Care Model) – Focuses on 3 essential elements of CCM: Self-Management Support, Delivery System Design and Decision Support – Self-Management Support: Implementation of diabetes self management education (individual and group) – Decision support: Diabetes pathways and order sets – Delivery System Design: Interdisciplinary teams

High Level Project Workflow Navigator / ED staff identifies diabetic ED patient ED Navigator reviews patient chart ED Navigator determines patient’s level of risk ED navigator uses MIDAS to document encounter Patient receives education packet ED Navigator meets with patient to discuss self management ED navigator engages interdisciplinary team if needed and ensures appropriate care is given ED navigator provides PCP & DSME referral Outpatient DSME Follows up with patient as needed over next 30 days to ensure self management goals are met met

Risk Stratification Tool Level of intervention is dependent upon patient’s risk level

Anticipated Outcomes Decreased ED visits in targeted diabetes population Increased level of patient awareness of diabetes management Standing orders and clinical pathways for diabetic patients Form interdisciplinary teams for diabetic patient care Develop diabetes education program

Challenges Language barrier – Surrounding area is over 50% Hispanic Lack of formal OP diabetes education program Patient participation in follow up care Connecting unfunded patients to PCP Providing patient education in Emergency Department environment Staff engagement and awareness of DSRIP project

Project Highlights 68 patients reached since Oct 2014 (135 total) Established Interdisciplinary teams Patient education on patient televisions Internal & External Partnerships – Golden Cross Clinic Diabetes “Health Fairs” – American Diabetes Association of North Texas Diabetes Workshops – DFW Hospital Council Lenovo tablets – Methodist ACO (Accountable Care Organization) Patient Referrals – Pharmaceutical companies Free education materials and vouchers – Metrocare Resources for behavioral health patients
