Challenges for PIMC “Un-Worried, Un-Well” populationPIMC has a very large, diverse and mobile
population that is difficult to track Many patients have other PCP’s and utilize
PIMC as more of an urgent care center to avoid insurance copays for acute illnesses
Difficult to achieve successful large-scale changes and staff buy-in with such a large facility

![Page 16: Phoenix Indian Medical Center Improving Patient Care](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062521/56816898550346895ddf2665/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Creating the “Medical Home” Care TeamsPCMC:
Teams consist of 4 providers, 1 RN Clinical Care Coordinator, 1 LPN, 2 NA’s and 1 MSA
Each team has 3200-4000 empanelled patients100% of patients are empanelled and only empanelled
patients receive appointments Team names: Coral, Silver, Juniper, Ocotillo
Pediatric Clinic: Teams consist of 2.5 – 3 providers (nursing and support
staff change daily)Open access system allows un-empanelled patients to
make appointments and these patients are encouraged to pick a provider during their visit
Approx 15% of the pediatric user population (6,000 patients) are currently empanelled
Team names: Panda, Tiger, Zebra, Monkey
![Page 17: Phoenix Indian Medical Center Improving Patient Care](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062521/56816898550346895ddf2665/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Creating the “Medical Home” Access and Continuity IPC Goal:
Every patient has a relationship with a provider and care team, and has consistent and reliable access to that provider and care team.
PIMC Actions: PCMC has 100% empanelment of patients
Clinical care coordinators help manage care of patients with chronic conditions
Peds clinic provides open-access scheduling so patients are able to make same-day and next-day appointments with their personal provider or another provider on their care team
![Page 18: Phoenix Indian Medical Center Improving Patient Care](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062521/56816898550346895ddf2665/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Creating the “Medical Home” Clinical Information Systems: IPC Goal: Organize patient and population
data to facilitate efficient and effective care.
PIMC Systems used: iCareEHRRPMS
![Page 19: Phoenix Indian Medical Center Improving Patient Care](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062521/56816898550346895ddf2665/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Creating the “Medical Home” Quality and Transparency IPC Goal:
Everyone in the system has the skills and tools for making improvement, and uses measurement and data to build better care.
PIMC Actions: Bulletin boards in common areas and waiting rooms allow
staff and patients to view current projects and progress Surveys allow patients and staff to voice opinions.
Survey data should be visibly posted in care areas and uploaded to the IPC knowledge portal on a regular basis
Clinical care is consistent with scientific evidence and patient preferences.
Ideas for change and improvement should be encouraged and systematically tested using the PDSA Model
![Page 20: Phoenix Indian Medical Center Improving Patient Care](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062521/56816898550346895ddf2665/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Change Implementation: PDSA

Model for Improvement: PDSA
The Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA ) cycle is a process for testing a change: (Plan) –develop a plan to test the
change, (Do)- carry out the test, (Study) – observe and learn from
the consequences, (Act) – determine what
modifications should be made to the test.

IPC Terms and Resources
![Page 25: Phoenix Indian Medical Center Improving Patient Care](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062521/56816898550346895ddf2665/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
IPC Terms and Resources IPC Home Page: http://www.ihs.gov/ipc/index.cfm Advanced Access: A model to reduce delays and wait times in the clinical setting. The
core principle of Advanced Access is that patients calling to schedule a clinic visit are offered an appointment the same day. The goal of Advanced Access is to build a system in which patients have the opportunity to see their own provider when they choose. For additional information about Advanced Access see http://www.ihi.org/explore/PrimaryCareAccess/Pages/default.aspx
Chronic Care Model (CCM): A model that represents the ideal system of healthcare for people with chronic disease and an approach to re-designing healthcare to mirror that ideal system. Developed by Improving Chronic Illness Care, the model has six components: community resources and policies, healthcare organization, self-management support, decision support, delivery system design, and clinical information systems. For additional information see http://www.improvingchroniccare.org
“Green Book”: Officially known as “Assessing, Diagnosing, and Treating Your Outpatient Primary Care Practice” and can be found at http://www.clinicalmicrosystem.org. A workbook that provides tools and methods that clinical teams can use to improve the quality and value of patient care as well as the work-life of all staff who contribute to patient care. These methods can be adapted to a wide variety of clinical settings, large and small, urban and rural, community-based and academic.
![Page 26: Phoenix Indian Medical Center Improving Patient Care](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062521/56816898550346895ddf2665/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
IPC Terms and Resources iCare: iCare is a Population Management software tool that helps organizations
manage the care of their patients. The ability to create multiple panels of patients with common characteristics (e.g., age, diagnosis, community) allows personalization of the way patient data can be viewed. iCare is a Windows-based, client-server graphical user interface (GUI) to the IHS RPMS. It retrieves important patient information from various components of the RPMS database and brings it together under a single, user-friendly interface. http://www.ihs.gov/CIO/CA/icare/
Microsystem: a small group of people who work together on a regular basis to provide care to discrete subpopulations of patients. It has clinical and business aims, linked processes, a shared information environment, and produces performance outcomes. Microsystems evolve over time and are (often) embedded in larger organizations. As a type of complex adaptive system, they must: (1) do the work, (2) meet staff needs, and (3) maintain themselves as a clinical unit. Many resources and tools can be found at http://www.clinicalmicrosystem.org
Model for Improvement: Shown on the right, an approach to process improvement, developed by Associates in Process Improvement, which helps teams accelerate the adoption of proven and effective changes. For additional information on the Model for Improvement, go to: http://www.ihi.org/knowledge/Pages/HowtoImprove/
Process Mapping: An activity that diagrams the steps, decision points, and influencing factors in a workflow process to bring forth a clearer understanding of that process or series of parallel processes.
![Page 27: Phoenix Indian Medical Center Improving Patient Care](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062521/56816898550346895ddf2665/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
IPC Terms and Resources Patient Centered Care: Care that is truly patient-centered considers
patients’ cultural traditions, their personal preferences and values, their family situations, and their lifestyles. It makes the patient and their significant other(s) an integral part of the care team who collaborate with health care professionals in making clinical decisions. Patient-centered care puts responsibility for important aspects of self-care and monitoring in patients’ hands — along with the tools and support they need to carry out that responsibility. Patient-centered care ensures that transitions between providers, departments, and health care settings are respectful, coordinated, and efficient. When care is patient centered, unneeded and unwanted services can be reduced. For additional information and ideas: http://www.ihi.org/explore/PFCC/
Self-Management Support (SMS): The care and encouragement provided to people with chronic conditions to help them understand their central role in managing their illness, make informed decisions about care, and engage in healthy behaviors. http://www.ihi.org/knowledge/Pages/Changes/SetandDocumentSelfManagementGoalsCollaborativelywithPatients.asp
Transparency: Sharing performance data in an effort to make organizations more accountable and promote improvement.
