Learning Objectives
• Discuss how does mental health disorders and impact patients and patient care services
• Describe how a performance improvement (PI) model can promotes healthcare system change
Describe the challenges faced by a PI project to implement Mental Health services for patients on a busy surgical unit
• Discuss integrated model of care to address challenges of caring for those with physical and mental conditions

Patients with Acute Illness and Co-morbid Mental Disorders
• Unlike many medical disorders patients admitted with a mental health issue cannot be identified by a lab test.

Medical Conditions Impact by Co-Morbid Mental Illness
• Migraine headaches, chronic bronchitis, and back pain
• About one fifth of patients hospitalized for a heart attack suffer from major depression
• • Depressed patients also are three times more likely than non-depressed patients to be noncompliant with treatment recommendations

Readmission of hospitalized patients with Mental Health Disorder
• 37 percent of patients with mental illness discharged from acute care hospitals were readmitted within a period of one year, compared with only 27 percent of patients discharged without a mental illness. (Madi, et al., 2007).
• Heart attack patients who were depressed were more likely to be readmitted in the year after discharge (Frasure-Smith, et al, 200)
• Patients with severe anxiety had a threefold risk of cardiac related readmission, compared to those without anxiety (Volz, 2010)

• Individuals with serious mental illness die, on average, 25 years earlier than the general population

• Solution unknown or discrepancy between stakeholders about suspected solution
• When there is little understanding of current process, data, or customer requirements

SMART Aim Statements
Example: Increase the percent of patients receiving biopsies the same day as their diagnostic workup from a 2010 Allina-
wide baseline of 44% to 61% by the end of 2011.
Specific: • Defined population • Outcome metric is clear (not dollars)• Baseline is measured
Measurable: • Statement articulates improvement from numerical baseline to numerical goal• Validated measurement system in place• Measureable verb, usually starts with “Increase”
or “Decrease”
Actionable • Empowers team to create change
Realistic & Relevant • Aligned with strategic goal • Achievable within deadline• Consider a stretch goal (70% chance to get there)
Timely • Has a firm due date
![Page 23: The Hospitalized Acute Care Patient with Mental Health Needs November 12, 2013 Greg Clancy, RN DNP Performance Improvement Consultant Allina Performance](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081514/56649d195503460f949ee434/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Background / Problem Statement• What is the problem?
- Why is change needed?• a large number of patients discharging from a Medical/Surgical unit with
a Mental Health diagnosis do not currently receive optimal care coordination related to their mental health needs.
- How do you really know this is a problem?• Our internal risk tools, Emergency Department return rate, and
readmission data identify this as a problem.
• What will this project work attempt to solve?- Identify what services are necessary to assure that patients
have transition plans that predict success for those patients with Mental Illnesses discharging from Medical/Surgical units.
• Evidence of success would include:• Social work involvement during hospitalization• Mental health follow up arranged within 14 days of discharge from a
Medical/Surgical unit.• Decreased readmission rates and Emergency Department return rate
within 30 days
![Page 24: The Hospitalized Acute Care Patient with Mental Health Needs November 12, 2013 Greg Clancy, RN DNP Performance Improvement Consultant Allina Performance](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081514/56649d195503460f949ee434/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
What We Are Trying to AccomplishAim Statement
The aim of the project is to improve transitions of care for patients with mental health comorbidities on stations 2600 and 4500 at United Hospital upon discharge. This will be accomplished by identifying patients with a comorbid medical and mental health diagnosis of depression or anxiety, increasing social service engagement, and ensuring mental health follow up appointments scheduled within 14 days. This will be measured by a comparison of total percentage of patients returned to the Emergency Department within 30 days of discharge.
![Page 25: The Hospitalized Acute Care Patient with Mental Health Needs November 12, 2013 Greg Clancy, RN DNP Performance Improvement Consultant Allina Performance](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081514/56649d195503460f949ee434/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
WHO cares and WHAT do they care about?
• Identify customers, suppliers, doers, influencers, disruptors, champions
• Understand their power, influence, requirements and level of support
• Your team may have the best solution, but it will FAIL without proper stakeholder buy-in

Baseline Data Description
28
• UTD 4500 (General Medicine), UTD 2600 (Surgery) are the test units. These units were selected due to their high volume of discharges and total rate of patients with mental health comorbidities.
• Mental Health comorbidities are defined as patients who have Major Depressive Disorder, Depressive Disorder Not Otherwise Specified or Anxiety Disorder and a medical diagnosis. ICD9 Diagnosis Codes (296.xx, 300.xx,311)
• We looked for the following information in a chart review to determine need and outcomes:- a social work consult during hospitalization- a mental health plan post discharge- a scheduled outpatient psychiatry appointment post discharge- rate of patients returning to the Emergency Department within 30 days- potentially preventable readmission rate within 30 days
![Page 29: The Hospitalized Acute Care Patient with Mental Health Needs November 12, 2013 Greg Clancy, RN DNP Performance Improvement Consultant Allina Performance](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081514/56649d195503460f949ee434/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Baseline Data Description• Social Work Consult – Was there a social work consult during the visit? • Mental Health Plan – Was there either a preexisting appointment or was one set
up during the stay?• Outpatient Psych – Did the patient have an established mental health provider
stay?• Even though 4500 does a better job with these metrics…..
![Page 30: The Hospitalized Acute Care Patient with Mental Health Needs November 12, 2013 Greg Clancy, RN DNP Performance Improvement Consultant Allina Performance](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081514/56649d195503460f949ee434/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

Baseline Data Description
• The ED return rate is much higher among depression patients vs. non-depression ones.• 4500 has a higher ED return rate among both depression and non-depression patients.
BetterBetter
• ED return is counted as a visit to any Allina ED for any reason within 30 days of discharge.

2.Have you received any mental health treatment (medications, counseling/therapy) in the past?
3.Do you think you would benefit from receiving mental health services after discharge?

• Select the best interventions• What do we need to implement to
reach our goal?
• Define the new process- What does it look like?- Who is going to do what?
• Plan the transition- What does it take to implement?- How are we going to lead the
change?

Results Part I
• UTD Station 4500 (medical) closed, we were only able to evaluate patients on unit 2600 (surgical)
• 68 inpatient stays on 2600 resulted in consults to social work- Of those, 65 were from the problem list
• 56 (82%) were seen by social work and 42 (62%) had a full assessment
• Only 9 (13%) patients opted to have their mental health needs addressed.- Defined as having a future outpatient appointment with a
psychiatrist or psychologist

What’s “Spread?”
• The science of taking a local improvement (intervention, idea, process) and disseminating it across a system
• There are many possible definitions for “a system” (e.g. a hospital, a group of hospitals, a region, a country)
