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
2
Case study
• Patient admitted to medical unit for HF with
Depression
3
Terminology
Mental Health illness or disorders
Behavioral illness or disorders
Co morbid conditions:
medical and mental conditions
Co-occurring disorders:
When I use a word” Humpty Dumpty said rather scornful tone, “it means exactly
What I want it to mean –neither more or less
4
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.
5
Defining Mental Illness
6
Percent of US adults with Diagnostic
Behavior Health Criteria
7
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
8
Impact of Mental Health Disorders is
Prevalent and Substantial
9
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)
10
Mortality
• Individuals with serious mental illness die, on
average, 25 years earlier than the general
population
11
American health care “gets it right” 54.9% of the time.
Performance Improvement is
“getting it right”
Allina Health performance resources is dedicated to improving care for patients
and achieving better health and affordability for our communities.

Allina Health Improvement Model
10-Step Model
1. Allina Advanced Training Program (AATP) Pedigree
2. Intuitive Problem Solving Process
3. Mutes the debate between: Lean / Six-Sigma /
Baldrige
4. Incorporates Key Tools
5. Building Consensus Across Allina
14
When to Use the 10 Steps
• Solution unknown or discrepancy between
stakeholders about suspected solution
• When there is little understanding of current
process, data, or customer requirements
• When new process / disruption to current
process is required
15
Tools are Tools
Tools Can Help:
• Measure, assess, diagnose, understand
• Communicate
• Prioritize, make decisions

Improving Transitions from
Medical/Surgical Units for Patients with
Mental Health Diagnoses
Allina Health Advanced Training Program
Cohort 5
July 12, 2013
Literature Review
• Existing guidelines at Allina Health
http://akn.allina.com/patientcare/
• External literature: Evidence Based Practice
- Allina Health Library Services will help answer
questions, gain knowledge, make more informed
decisions
21
SMART Aim Statements
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
Example: Increase the percent of patients receiving biopsies
the same day as their diagnostic workup from a 2010 Allinawide baseline of 44% to 61% by the end of 2011.
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
What We Are Trying to
Accomplish
Aim 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.
2. Who are the
stakeholders?
Stakeholder identification
and assessment
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
• 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:
28
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
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…..
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.

health problems at present?
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?

Key Variables
• Adaptive change takes considerable effort
-
Changing perspectives of front line providers
Awareness of mental health issues
Technical support with ongoing daily support
Leadership support (informal and formal)
• Timing of the service offering Fine tune the data
mining process from the problem list
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
Results Part II
• Why wasn’t the count higher? (n=68)
•
•
•
Predominantly a surgical unit
Few referrals from Nursing staff
Limited surgeon involvement
• Why was opt-in rate so low? (13%)
• Reliance on Problem List
• Old problem carried forward
• Many patients with mental health problems had already
established treatment
• Patient declined mental health intervention
• Dementia was not included in this work
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)
44
Expansion of Project
• A successful expansion would require:
• A reliable screening method
• Increased engagement of all providers
• Technical resources available
• Adding mental health screening questions to
admission flowsheet
• Feedback to providers to show benefits
• Prioritization of patients seen for greater
impact
Creating a Culture of Improvement
From
To
• Differing motivations
• Collegial support and leveraging
strengths of the whole
• Differing approaches
• Common language & approach to
solving problems (Allina Health
Improvement Model)
• Reactive, intuitive work
• Proactive use of analytics to predict
and prevent issues
• Clearly prioritized work, quantified
benefit
• Sustaining the gains, visibility of the
performance
• Effectively sharing and spreading
the gains

Next steps for Integration
