Professional Practice ReviewCaregivers of HF Patients Can Have Unrealistic Hopes for Prognosis –Steve Stiles, September 28, 2015
More often than not, family members caring for loved ones with advanced heart failure don't understand how serious the disease is, have unrealistic expectations about the patient's chances for survival, and even may be looking forward to recovery, suggests a study based on interviews of 80 such caregivers.

What We Did

One Care for Seniors
• New leadership 1/2013• Expanded work– Advance Care Planning– Heart Failure, Sepsis, Renal Failure
![Page 19: Collaborating with Community Nursing Homes to Improve Transitions and Care Patrick Schultz, MS, RN, ACNS-BC Director of Quality and Patient Safety Sanford](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062520/5697bf921a28abf838c8f28b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Challenges
• How to measure readmission? • How to measure advance care plan use?• How to know transitions went well?
![Page 20: Collaborating with Community Nursing Homes to Improve Transitions and Care Patrick Schultz, MS, RN, ACNS-BC Director of Quality and Patient Safety Sanford](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062520/5697bf921a28abf838c8f28b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Overcoming Challenges
• How to measure readmission?– First try: Hired PhD part time to collect data – Next: Epic report with discharge destination
triggers when a patient returns to Sanford within 30 days (dependent on proper entry)
![Page 21: Collaborating with Community Nursing Homes to Improve Transitions and Care Patrick Schultz, MS, RN, ACNS-BC Director of Quality and Patient Safety Sanford](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062520/5697bf921a28abf838c8f28b/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Overcoming Challenges
• How to measure advance care plan use? – Epic report includes presence or absence of
Advance Care Directive
![Page 22: Collaborating with Community Nursing Homes to Improve Transitions and Care Patrick Schultz, MS, RN, ACNS-BC Director of Quality and Patient Safety Sanford](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062520/5697bf921a28abf838c8f28b/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Overcoming Challenges
• How to know transitions went well?– Monthly meetings 0700– HF mismatches– ACPs not entered– NP issues– Xrays done in the nursing homes– Connection with Director of Quality
![Page 23: Collaborating with Community Nursing Homes to Improve Transitions and Care Patrick Schultz, MS, RN, ACNS-BC Director of Quality and Patient Safety Sanford](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062520/5697bf921a28abf838c8f28b/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
