A Minute to Win It!! Striving Towards Rehabilitation Intensity in an Inpatient Stroke

Objectives
• Implementation of the concept of Rehabilitation Intensity (RI) to inpatient stroke rehab at Sunnybrook – St. John’s Rehab.
• How our team developed interprofessional collaborative quality improvements to increase therapy times, meet targets and individualize patient care plans.
3
St. John’s Rehab
• Opened in 1937 • Inpatient and outpatient programs • Central and Toronto Central LHINs • One of Sunnybrook’s eight programs since 2012
4
Patient Population • Inpatient programs:
• A1: Cardiac, Transplant, Amputee • A2: Burn, Trauma, Complex Care • A3: Stroke, Neurology, Oncology • A4: MSK, Short Term Medical Rehab
• Outpatient programs: • All of the above populations except Cardiac • Globally funded • MVA • WSIB
5
Background Guidelines for Quality Based Procedures (QBPs) for Stroke Care have been outlined by:
• Health Quality Ontario • Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care • Stroke Expert Advisory Panel • Ontario Stroke Network • Canadian Best Practice Recommendations for Stroke Care
Our task:
• Applying these requirements in a rehab setting • Providing and recording sufficient rehab intensity • Providing rehab that “matters”
6
Rehab Intensity
“The patient time spent in individual rehabilitation therapy
that is aimed at achieving therapy goals based on physical, functional, cognitive, perceptual and social means in order to maximize the
patients recovery” Ontario Stroke Reference Group, 2012
7
Rehab Intensity
• Key indicator for evaluating efficiency and effectiveness of stroke care
• benchmark is 180 minutes of direct task-specific therapy per day by the interprofessional core therapies (OT, PT, and SLP)
• At least 6 days per week
8
Quality Improvement Initiative
Who was part of the process? Collaborative interprofessional team involves:
– Clinical team • Multiple focus working groups
– Professional Practice / Education – NRS Coordinator, Workload Coordinator and
Decision Support • IT / Application Specialist
– Management – Partnerships with Toronto Stroke Networks
9
Quality Improvement Initiative
What did we do? Identified gaps in meeting the QBP requirements:
• Staffing ratios • Treatment models • Space and equipment resources • Team communication processes • Workload measurement system that supports
RI data collection and reporting
10
Staffing Ratios
Revise staffing ratios 39 bed inpatient unit: • 21 stroke • 10 other neurology • 6 oncology • 2 flex beds
• more clinicians see fewer patients for more time
Previous Revised
OT 1 : 10 1 : 6
PT 1 : 9 1 : 6
SLP 1 : 20 1 : 12
Therapist : Patient
** Made possible as a result of increased funding to the program
11
Weekend Staffing
Increased weekend therapy • Increased therapists to complete assessments to start
treatment earlier
Previous FTE
Revised FTE
OT 1 1
PT 1 2
OTA/PTA 3 3
SLP 0 1 (Sat only)
12
Treatment Models
Increased 1:1 time between therapist and patient
Group therapy: • Seen as still being beneficial • Does not specifically fall under the rehab intensity definition of
individualized, direct, task-specific therapy
Previous Revised
Trending toward more group classes – to enable more patients to be seen in therapy
Therapy is primarily 1:1 Groups are viewed as supplementary
13
Treatment Models Created a dual role for OTA/PTA: • Creates more flexibility as assistants are not limited to a single
profession during a shift
• OTA/PTA assist with dressing training in the mornings/walking program in afternoons → counts towards Rehab Intensity minutes
Previous Revised
Separate OTA and PTA staff Separate working shifts - dedicated
Dual role Able to work across different roles across a given shift
14
Therapy Space Increased available therapy space
• Additional therapy equipment purchased • Provides more options for individualized treatments and quiet assessment/
treatment space • Able to keep up volume of 15-17 treatments at the same time
Previous Revised • One OT treatment room for
the unit • One PT treatment room for
the unit • 2 SLP treatment rooms
In addition to the standard treatment rooms: • Converted offices into additional
treatment rooms for OT, PT (including isolation treatment)
• Additional SLP treatment room

Stroke Cohort “All patients who require rehabilitation should be
referred to a specialist rehabilitation team in a geographically defined unit as soon as possible
after admission” QBP Clinical Handbook for Stroke, 2015
17
Stroke Cohort • Created a cohort of stroke beds on mixed unit • Geographically defined co-location of stroke patients
Previous Revised • Mixed unit • Stroke cohort 12- 16 beds on one
side of the unit
Therapy Space
18
Team Communication
• Multiple structured interprofessional communication processes
• Multiple venues for team communication • Consistency of messages to patients and families • 360o view of patient shared • Discharge planning initiated started day 2-3
Previous Revised • No structured regular dialogue between
team members outside of rounds • No discharge planning done proactively
until rounds • MD/PT driven rounds • One OT/Nurse to represent entire unit • PT shifted in and out of rounds to present a
caseload
• Sub-teams – informal, streamlined and regular communication on a daily basis
• Stroke Huddles to be done day 2-3 • IPC rounds : Shared rotating facilitation
19
• Sub-Teams
• Consistency in patient care plans/patient goals with all team members
• Daily communication more efficient between sub-team members
Previous Revised • Mixed OT/PT/SLP/nursing • Clinicians crossed over
• Sub-teams of OT/PT/SLP/Nurse • Each team presents their patients
in rounds
Team Communication
20
Stroke Sub-teams
21
Stroke Huddles • Occurs on Day 2-3 within sub-team (OT/PT/SLP/nursing) • Other members may be called to be present • Early identification of stroke severity • Early discharge planning • Needed referrals • Rehab Intensity Identification/Allocation
Team Communication
22
Interprofessional Communication
“Stroke unit teams should conduct at least one formal interprofessional meeting per week at which they:
• Identify patient concerns/goals • Set rehabilitation goals • Monitor patient progress • Plan post discharge support
Discharge planning should be initiated as soon as possible after the patient is admitted to hospital.”
QBP Clinical Handbook for Stroke, 2015
23
IPC Rounds
Restructured team rounds process: • Sub-teams take turns to enter rounds and present (walkie – talkie paging) • Facilitation: shared, collaborative, rotating role (all disciplines) • Discussion:
• Week 1: full discussion of patient and Rehab Intensity Allocation • Subsequent weeks: focused on goal achievement,
interprofessional problem solving to facilitate discharge planning, and changes in RI allocation

Striving towards Rehab Intensity with Individual Care Plans
Rehab Intensity
• Dividing 180 mins across OT/PT/SLP
Patient A - More cognitive issues - 80/40/60 minutes
Patient B - More speech issues - 40/60/80 minutes

Collecting RI
• Modified workload measurement system to incorporate recording requirements for Rehab Intensity and for NRS
• Includes categories for co-assessment and co-treatment (face to face with patient) – Assessment or Therapeutic Intervention - Solo – Assessment or Therapeutic Intervention - With therapist – Assessment or Therapeutic Intervention - With assistant

Results
• Success with RI collection • Achieved by engaging in a collaborative initiative
across departments and roles to ensure a seamless integration of clinical and support processes
• Value in creating an integrated workload system that captures Rehab Intensity, with no additional time requirement for clinicians to calculate
• From 2010– 2015, therapy time for stroke patients increased by 54%

• Evaluate this initiative from the perspectives of data quality as well as the patient experience/engagement and staff satisfaction
• Provide system leadership as we share experiences and successes with partner hospitals
