RE: Activities, Restorative, and Therapy in Sync (ARTS) Project Grant Q2 Report
Dear Ms.Ridley,
Tennessee Health Management, Inc. (THM) – Memphis Region Activities, Restorative, and Therapy in Sync (ARTS) program serves approximately 750 nursing home patients, in ten locations throughout West Tennessee including the counties of Henry, Carroll, Weakley, Obion, Gibson, Dyer, Tipton, and Shelby. The objective of the Activities, Restorative, and Therapy in Sync (ARTS) program is to provide the residents in our care an improved quality of life through the implementation of It’s Never 2 Late (iN2L) - fusing therapy, restorative care, and activities into a truly individualized approach. We are aligning the patients’ personal interests and functional limitations with activities, restorative programs, and therapy treatment in a computer-based format.
If additional information is needed on the individual patient questionnaires or iN2L usage, please request and I will gladly submit.
Sincerely,
Heather Lansaw, Regional Director of Operations – Memphis Tennessee Health Management, Inc. 1971 Tennessee Avenue North, P.O. Box 10 Parsons, TN 38363 [email protected] Telephone#: (731) 695-8981 Fax #: (731) 885-5042

The objective of the Activities, Restorative, and Therapy in Sync (ARTS) program is to provide the residents in our care an improved quality of life through the implementation of It’s Never 2 Late (iN2L) – fusing activities, restorative care, and therapy into a truly individualized approach. By aligning the patients’ personal interests and functional limitations with activities, restorative programs, and therapy treatment in a computer-based format, we will improve or maintain the patients’ activities of daily living, increase the number of residents in activities, and increase the number of residents in the restorative program. This movement to synchronize the different programs will have a direct impact on the culture in our communities and improve the quality of life for those we serve.

Outcomes
All residents in the communities were monitored for system use, iN2L participation, restorative program, and questionnaires for alert/oriented patients using the system. The following data was collected on all residents:
• Total Number of In-House Resident Last Day of Month • Total Number of Long-Term Residents last day of the month (including Private)
C
Z 1 8 1 7 2 2 6 8 , A m e n d e d Z 1 8 1 7 6 9 4 2 P a g e 4 | 10
• Total Number of Resident using iN2L (could be restorative, act, or therapy) • Number of Residents with My-Story Complete • Number of Residents in the Restorative Program • Number of Residents in the Restorative Program Using iN2L • Number of Residents added to the Restorative Program this Month using iN2L
The monitoring includes only the activities with the iN2L system. After a meeting with THM Electronic Medical Record system team, the process has begun to include a “button” in the Activities section of the electronic medical record to “click” if the activity was completed using the iN2Lsystem. This will give a more accurate picture of usage in Activities.
Total patients and long-term patients’ categories were added to ensure as many as possible long-term residents were included on the “My Story” biography portion of the system. Short term resident will not be included in the “My Story” biography section as the average length of stay is only 27-30 days and continues to decrease. Some short stay residents did choose to complete the “My Story” biography.
Restorative information contains only patients in restorative care using iN2L.
Weekly Data
A weekly meeting was also initiated with greater detail to include:
This form is completed to ensure Activities, Restorative, and Therapy are in sync and discuss the plan for all residents using iN2L and ensure the plan is focused on “fun” activities that will improve their functional or mental status.
It identifies each patient, goals, treating department, and types of engagement. This is a form that will change weekly as patients are added, discharged, or have changes.

iN2L System Usage in Hours
Early on three facilities identified connectivity issues, which was quickly resolved by contacting the iN2L Customer Success Manager. Staff has been in-serviced on ensuring that the systems are online to access 100% of the content. Also, some areas of facilities were “dropping” the connection even after the staff verified the computer was online. IT has been notified of internet “drops” when moving the computer or in certain areas in the facility. Each incident reported has been investigated by IT and corrective actions have been initiated. Some “internet drops” are still being investigated by IT. The results so far have been different in different facilities. Some have needed an increase in band width, change in access, mounting router in a different area, and installing wireless range extenders.
QOL Survey It was determined by the ARTS Committee that the questionnaire should focus on the residents’ emotional status. We are using the iN2L QOL Outcome Survey to track quality of life measures.
Each data point is assigned a value:
• Very negative = 1 • Negative = 2 • Neutral = 3

As this is baseline data due to changing the survey, comparative data will be provided going forward.
Groups making significant contributions
Partnerships have developed in all facilities with the family members of the residents. Through the process of creating My Page buttons and discussing the digital biographies, the long-term residents and families are more engaged with the staff and volunteers.
An unexpected partner in one of the facilities is the local high school softball team. The coach inquired about a special project to promote community service and reached out to a facility when they read the article in the local paper. Upon resident\family approval, they have volunteered to work with our residents to complete the digital biographies. This intergenerational volunteer program was piloted in the Union City facility and continues every Wednesday afternoon.
The students meet with the residents and discuss their life story while creating digital biographies on the “My Story” section of iN2L.
Evidence of Effectiveness Of the 190 residents in the baseline study:
93.2% of the residents maintained or improved their bed mobility 93.2% of the patients maintained or improved their current ability to transfer 92.6% of patients maintained or improved their ability to dress 89.5% maintained or improved in eating 93.2% maintained or improved their toileting use 94.2% maintain or improved their bathing ability. 93.7% maintained or improved their Mood (frequency
All Residents:
Number of residents using the ARTS program is increasing every month. Over half of all residents have completed “My Story” biographies.
Qualitative Impact of ARTS Program The American Health Care Association Convention in October of 2018 hosted a seminar on the use of technology systems in long-term care and the Team Leader for the ARTS project spoke about the program and the impact on patients. Her father, a current resident at Union City Nursing and Rehabilitation with a diagnosis of Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease, was featured as a patient that benefited from the program.
Results of the Memphis region ARTS program were shared with the THM Leadership team along with all other THM facilities in management staff meetings.

A lack of understanding from activities staff resulted in a misidentification of connectivity issues. In addition, during the first few months, several facilities experienced issues with the internet connections being slow to download. The IT department addressed all issues and reports from June 2018 were improved. Streaming is successful with few, if any, interruptions.
Staff turnover in Activities and Restorative has also caused some challenges. One Activity Coordinator and several Restorative positions have been replaced and the hiring and training process for some was longer than expected. However, we resolved our staffing issues before they impacted the program.
