CCM Redesign

x. Implementing CCMRevise case management policies & procedures

Solidify support from leadership and decision makers

Train/educate all clinical case managersCCM is now responsible for both discharge planning and URInterQual training (establish four in-house trainers)

Educate physicians/nurses of new CCM roleUtilize EHR (EPIC) to assign CCM to the treatment team

CCM now follows treatment team vs. geographic location

Spread awareness of change throughout the institutionPresentations at various staff, management, leadership meetings

CCM Outcomesi. Reduction in LOS outliers

8% reduction in the number of patients with LOS >206% reduction in the number of patients with LOS between 21-4918% reduction in the number of patients with LOS between 50-997% reduction in the number of patients with LOS ≥100

ii. Increased Physician/Nurse Satisfaction with case management process

Treatment team has live view of assigned CCM via EHRObtain and sustain high compliance for treatment team assignments

iii. Decreased CCM Turnover

iv. Increased CCM Job SatisfactionNo regretsTeam model benefits collaboration amongst CCM (workload/outliers/coverage)
