Introduction We are pleased to present the following Outcomes Report for Lieberman Center for Health and Rehabilitation (LCHR). This report is current through the third quarter of 2014 and consists of outcomes directly related to patient care. The data is specific to three areas: the Haag Pavilion (Sub-Acute Unit), Long Term Care Unit (all floors) and the Whole House (the entire facility).

Haag Pavilion (Sub-Acute Unit) The Haag Pavilion offers these services with specialized staff: skilled rehabilitation therapy; a dedicated Center for Heart Health; skilled nursing, including, but not limited to, hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, infusion therapy, and wound care. The staff consists of the following: specially trained RNs; a full time staff nurse practitioner; physical, occupational and speech therapists; and social services staff. There are credentialed medical consultants who round weekly or see patients more often, depending upon need. The consultant medical staff consists of the following specialties: physiatry, cardiology, nephrology, infectious disease, psychiatry, neuropsychology, and wound care. Coordination of care and communication among all disciplines on the Unit is managed by the Clinical Nurse Manager, a certified rehabilitation nurse.

Rehabilitation Outcomes The Therapy Department works primarily on a patient’s functional status. Efforts are directed at increasing strength, endurance, and balance. The three areas that are measured are transferring/ toileting; dressing; and ambulation. Data is then used to determine a patient’s overall outcomes for improvement in functional ability from their admission status to their status at the time of discharge.

Lieberman Center for Health & Rehabilitation Overall Outcomes for Rehab

Average Admit FIM Score Avgerage Discharge FIM Score

Functionality Key 7 = Independent, no assistance required 6 = Supervision, short-term, home health recommended 5 = Stand-by assistance, personal care assistance recommended for 2 days a week for 2 or more hours 4 = Contact Guard assistance, personal care recommended 3 days a week for 2 or more hours 3 = Minimal assistance of 25-49%, 20 hours/week personal care recommended 2 = Moderate assistance of 50-74%, 40 hours a week of personal care recommended 1 = Maximum assistance of 75-90%, live-in assistance recommended or skilled facility 0 = Totally dependent

Note: The first data point is determined by the therapist at time of the initial assessment, which is performed within 24 hours of admission to the Haag Pavilion. The second data point is determined by the skilled therapist at time of discharge. The patient’s status is measured with Functional Independence Measures (FIM) a standardized functional measurement tool with a scale of 0 to 7, where 0 = most dependent and 7 = independent (see Key, above). The average overall improved functional ability was 1 to 2 points on this scale.

Notes: The national norm for 30 day rehospitalization is 26%. The average national rate for the 30-day readmission rate for the Medicare A SNF benefit is 21.04% (as reported by the Illinois Quality Improvement Organization). The comparable rate for sub-acute stays for the Lieberman Center was 17% in 2013 and was 20% through the third quarter of 2014.

Long Term Care Unit Unplanned Hospitalization Rates Data has been collected for unplanned hospitalizations from the long term care floors of Lieberman Center. They are considered as the Long Term Care Unit for the purposes of this report. These rates are calculated per 1000 patient days and are not risk adjusted. For the past two years the rate has remained between 1 and 2 with the average between 1.5 & 1.7.

Center for Heart Health Outcomes In February 2013 the Center for Heart Health dedicated to cardiac patients was established at the Haag Pavilion. Dr. Caesar A. De Leo, a NorthShore University HealthSystem cardiologist, is the lead consulting physician for the Program. Additional training was given to the nursing department, and additional equipment was purchased. Initially patients considered for this unit had a primary cardiac diagnosis. After the first year as patients were screened for statistical purposes, it was discerned that a close look at co-morbidities was required. It was observed that cardiac co-morbidities were frequently exacerbated due to the recent acute hospitalization, thus necessitating increased assessment and management. It was determined that patients with a cardiac co-morbidity should be included if the exacerbation was identified by the hospital as an active diagnosis during the hospitalization prior to the admission to LCHR. The following statistics have been aggregated since the opening of the unit in February 2013.

Health Services (Nursing) Outcomes The data and charts that follow reflect outcomes in the following clinical areas: falls, major and minor injuries associated with falls, house-acquired pressure ulcers, house-acquired infections and urinary tract infections and the prevalence of multi-drug-resistant organisms.

Falls The fall rate is calculated per 1000 patient days. A stringent criterion of how falls are counted has been employed. For example, if an individual is “eased” to the floor, that situation is considered a fall. More in-depth investigation has identified a number of challenges associated with Lieberman’s fall rates. These are: the facility’s strict restraint-free policy; the age demographics of the Lieberman population− 30% of the residents are between the ages of 75 to 84, and 40% are 85 years old or older; and the acute confusional delirium often associated with hospitalization and transition to a sub-acute unit. The improvement process which LCHR has implemented continues to evolve. It is primarily centered on inter-disciplinary assessment and individualized interventions.

Fall-related Injuries The major reasons for tracking these statistics are two-fold: 1) fall-related injuries are a serious health issue for the elderly population; and 2) they are an indication of the effectiveness of patient-specific fall prevention interventions that reduce risk and prevent or minimize falls and fall-related injuries. Injuries are first classified as major (e.g. fracture, subdural hematoma) or minor (e.g. bruise, skin tear). It should be noted that this rate is calculated per 100 falls rather than on 1000 patient days which is the methodology for all other rates calculated for Health Services (Nursing).

House-Acquired Pressure Ulcers Lieberman’s skin management program includes protocols for prevention, treatment, and pain assessment and management. The nursing staff is augmented by a board certified podiatric surgeon and a wound specialty surgeon, who make weekly rounds and are active members of the wound management team. It is Lieberman’s practice to count each pressure ulcer rather than each resident who has one or more pressure ulcers. This is a considerably more stringent method of data collection as compared to the CMS Quality Measures that report a percent of residents with pressure ulcers.

House-Acquired/Nosocomial Infections Lieberman has used control charts for monitoring infection rates from a Whole House perspective since 2007. In 2007 the Sub-Acute Unit expanded to include the entire fourth floor. Surveillance activities in 2007 and 2008 suggested that there was an increased incidence of infection in the Sub-Acute Unit. This observation prompted the calculation and tracking of the nosocomial (house acquired) rate for the Sub-Acute Unit and the Long Term Care floors as a combined unit, as well as the Whole House. This was started in 2009.

House-acquired/Nosocomial Urinary Tract Infections Symptomatic urinary tract infections (UTIs) are the most common infection experienced by residents of Long-Term Care facilities. Because of this, the nosocomial UTI rates are tracked for each floor. It was not until after the Sub-Acute Unit was expanded to the entire fourth floor that the UTI rate for the Long-Term Care floors was calculated as one unit.

Multi-Drug Resistant Organisms In 2007 multi-drug resistant organisms were tracked for each floor in the facility. After a full year’s data was aggregated it was determined that, because the rates were so low, the methodology of using point prevalence should be changed to period prevalence (using one month as the period). This was done in 2008. In 2009, since the rates continued to remain very low for all of the Long Term Care floors, it was determined that it would be more informative to combine the numbers for these units. The higher prevalence rates exist in the Sub-Acute Unit with the majority present on admission.
