Seamless Transitions:Background – the issue
3
• Hospital to home transitions can be challenging for patients, caregivers and health and social service providers
• Mississauga Halton region – one of Ontario’s fastest growing seniors’ populations, set to triple by 2035
• In 2014/15:
o Trillium Health Partners –no bed admits
o Mississauga Halton CCAC –10% more patients from hospital referrals
ESTABLISHING A FORMAL PARTNERSHIP
Where It Started:

Seamless Transitions:Partnership
5
Timeline
• 2011: Mississauga Halton CCAC identifies “Managing Systems Transitions” as a Strategic Plan priority initiative
• 2012/2013: Regional review of factors impacting system transitions for patients was completed
• January 2014: First meeting of Mississauga Halton CCAC and THP CEOs and senior leaders
LHIN endorsement
• Initiative supported by early endorsement and ongoing investment from Mississauga Halton LHIN
Seamless Transitions:Myths Busted
6
Myths in Mississauga Halton CCAC about THP
Myths in THP about the Mississauga Halton CCAC
• The hospital does not know about the complexities of community care.
• It is as easy to deliver care in the community as it is in the hospital.
• Hospital does not understand that patients behave and heal differently at home.
• Hospital is not concerned with making available the necessary information to take proactive action.
• CCAC does not understand hospital pressures and process-driven approach creates inertia.
• CCAC puts economy ahead of quality and does not staff appropriately for surges in the patient load.
• The quality of care is not the same in the community: care is sub-standard and patients are not as safe in the community; services in the community are not provided with as much reliability as in the hospital; CCAC does not have the skills/knowledge to provide home care.
• Acute care can only happen in hospitals• CCAC does not communicate changes adequately.• It is not possible to manage the gap created by
the differences in the way different CCACs operate.
There is no predictability to the system.
Seamless Transitions:Partnership Principles

Seamless Transitions:Partnership Mandate
8
Mandate:
• Go out and be disruptive innovators.
• Strive for transformational change, not incremental change.
“Transformation is a deliberate, planned process that sets out a high aspiration to make dramatic and irreversible changes to how care is delivered, what staff do (and how they behave), and the role of patients, which results in substantial, measurable improvement in outcomes, patient and staff
satisfaction and financial sustainability.”

BOARD AND OPERATIONAL OVERSIGHT
How We Governed:
10
11
Seamless Transitions:Governance - Board
Board-level
• Mississauga Halton CCAC and THP Boards of Directors approved initiative work plan before design process began
• Both governing bodies had to endorse proposed changes to organizational structures
o Recognition that processes and procedures in both needed to change to improve transitions from hospital to home
12
Seamless Transitions:Governance – Board
Mississauga Halton CCAC
• Board approves Strategic Plan
• Mississauga Halton CCAC Board of Director’s Patient Care Quality Committee reviews feedback from organization’s patient and family advisory forum – Share Care Council
• CEO provided frequent updates back to Board on initiative status because of system implications of the scope of work
THP
• Interested in exploring regional partnerships
• Discussion at sub-committee
• Monthly updates
13
Seamless Transitions:Governance – Operational
• Joint, CEO-led Steering Committee (monthly meetings)
• Cross-organization Working Group (weekly meetings during pre-planning and early test phases; bi-weekly thereafter)
• Joint Project Manager (provided updates to Steering, Working Group, staff huddles; managed design process)
14
Seamless Transitions:Governance – Operational
Operational
• Dedicated interdisciplinary design team: physicians, Mississauga Halton CCAC care coordinators, nurse, physiotherapist, occupational therapist, social worker, professional practice lead, performance management consultant, patient/caregiver advisor, communications specialist
• Led process design and testing; acted as project champions and change ambassadors
THE DESIGN PROCESS
What We Accomplished:
15
Seamless Transitions:Define phase
16
• Interview and observation:
o Design Team
o Patients and caregivers
o Staff, including physicians
o Primary care physicians
o Community providers
• Problem statement: We lack a shared understanding of patients’ needs to inform and execute a care plan that will give them confidence to leave hospital.
Seamless Transitions:Brainstorm phase
17
• Patient engagement – Share Care Council
• Staff and physician engagement – five brainstorming sessions
o 154 staff attended
o 1,301 ideas generated
18
Seamless Transitions:Prototype phase
• Objective: to create a consistent, integrated, person-centered approach for hospital to home transitions that improves patient experiences, while eliminating duplication in processes and gaps in communication and care.
19
Seamless Transitions:Prototype phase
A traditional approach where hospital care teams are geographically based
and hospital and community teams are
siloed.
An integrated approach, grounded in leading practice,
designed to deliver high quality, efficient, effective,
integrated care that connects care providers across the continuum to improve the
patients’ experience.

Seamless Transitions:Prototype phase – Video
23
Seamless Transitions:Test/Refine/Learn phase
• What: Key components of Seamless approach
• Where: Medicine program at Trillium Health Partners -Credit Valley Hospital (THP-CVH)
• When: September 29, 2014 to June 26th, 2015
• Who: Patients on two physician teams (started with one physician team, the test was expanded to include a second team on January 21, 2015)
24
Seamless Transitions:Test/Refine/Learn phase
*March 2015
25
Seamless Transitions:Evaluation phase – Patient Profile
*Sept. 29/15 to March 31/16
26
Seamless Transitions:Evaluation phase – Patient Feedback
27
Seamless Transitions:Evaluation phase – Key Findings
• Seamless patients had significantly lower readmission rates, compared to other THP-CVH Medicine patients.
o 52% decrease in 30-day readmission rates.
o Estimated that reduced readmission rate will save 0.9 days (potential conservable days) and reduce patient mortality rates.
• Increased utilization of community services.
• No difference in Length of Stay (LOS) or ALC rates between test and control groups.
EVALUATING OUR SUCCESS
What We Learned:
28
29
Seamless Transitions:Lessons learned - Testing
People:• Build shared cultures to facilitate
work across sectors• Identify operational leads and
supports early• Establish expectations for new
attitudes and behaviours to sustain transformative change
Time:• Need adequate time to build and
strengthen relationships between partnering organizations and its people
Patient focus• Utilize partnership
principles to keep work focused
• Engage stakeholders continually
30
Seamless Transitions:Lessons learned - Governance
Operations:• Ensure committed and
courageous leadership• Establish patient-centred,
strategic partnership principles and mandate
• Engage operational leads during planning phases to ensure smooth rollout during testing
• Provide ongoing and consistent communications across organizations
Leadership/Board:• Organization’s leaders
need to identify strategic partnership opportunities, and lead partnership activities (top-down) –open to taking honest look at areas for improvement
• Board – importance of endorsing projects that support improvements in QIP targets
OPPORTUNITIES & NEXT STEPS
How We Are Applying Lessons Learned:

• Refined, consistent, enhanced Care Coordination Framework
• Core competencies for care coordinators
33
Seamless Transitions:Opportunities & next steps
Care Coordination Program of Work (continued)
• My Story documents –written, plain language care plan used for all patients, patient goals, welcome letters
Second Partnership Initiative
• Tested approach with second regional hospital provider, Halton Healthcare
34
Seamless Transitions:Opportunities & next steps
Ongoing work with Trillium Health Partners
• Complex implementation process related to Medicine –THP is determining next steps for full implementation of Seamless Transitions approach
• Unit-Based Affiliation project
