Problem Statement

• Health literacy significantly impacts how consumers access, understand, and navigate the healthcare system. With asthma being a prominent childhood disease, parent/caregiver understanding of asthma management is paramount. Consequently, measuring and assessing the clarity and usability of an asthma action plan with parents and providers is a vital step in supporting patient/family asthma management with an electronically accessible asthma action plan.

Project Goal

• To create a single, useable and readily interpretable electronic asthma action plan that represents multi-disciplinary collaboration, addresses health literacy components and incorporates patient and family feedback.

Drivers Interventions

Increase asthma action

from a baseline of 74% to ≥

90% by FY16 and sustain

Innovative Approach

• Low health literacy is a challenge universally faced by healthcare providers, impacting their communication with patients and families. – Providing tools to support this process are crucial – Incorporating patient/family feedback was a novel approach to meaningful

improvement • Streamline existing processes • Create consensus • Arrive at an improved solution

Gathering Parent Feedback – Inpatient Unit and Outpatient Clinic

• Patient and family feedback gathered through 1:1 interviews • Parents evaluated a laminated color copy of the revised AAP to be built

electronically for clinician use. Parents were asked questions regarding: – (1) Ease of use – (2) Ease of understanding – (3) Use at home

• Parents were asked to correctly identify which zone their child would fall into if they were: – (a) Doing well – (b) In immediate danger – (c) Having trouble but not needing to go to the ER

Results of Parent Evaluation and Pilot

• 35 parents were included in the evaluative process • First round of AAP evaluation: 12 inpatient parents, and 11 outpatient

clinic parents • Second round of AAP evaluation: 5 inpatient parents and 7 outpatient

clinic parents evaluated the modified plan • 100% of the parents interviewed responded that the information was

understandable, and that they would use it at home • 97% of the parents interviewed were able to correctly identify the correct

zone for their child

Next Steps

Now that the AAP is easily identifiable across the continuum of care ... • Make the electronic AAP accessible to patients/families through the

patient portal

• Extend the AAP to Ambulatory clinic sites (7 major clinic sites) and Community Connect practices (27 practices)

School Health - Learning Structure

Key Drivers

DesignChanges/

Interventions Aim

Asthma Care is Coordinated across the continuum of care

Adequate training for Students & School Staff on Asthma

Available & Appropriate usage of ATP & Asthma Medication at school

Increased Asthma Awareness & Engagement of Student, Family

& School

Streamline the process for communication between ACH and school

• Consent for school communication prior to discharge/home going instruction

• Create Epic worklist for patients seen inpt/outpt/ED to school health clinical coordinator (for next day follow-up)

Work collaboratively with Home Care nurse and Asthma Care Team to identify strategies for increased education, medication management and compliance for students with moderate to severe asthma

Implement school located flu vaccination clinics Reduce hospitalization &

Emergency Department

visits for students with asthma.

Global AIM

6

School Health Services will improve asthma management in the school setting: • Increase identification of students with

(moderate to severe) asthma at school.

• Increase % of partnered school districts participation in school located flu vaccination clinics from 35% (2016) to 50% by December 2017.

• Implement stock rescue inhaler protocol in 50% of partnered school districts by December 2017.

Implement stock albuterol standing order and protocol for schools

Identify students with asthma • School: EZB for schools • ACH: patient identification of school

documented in Epic

Draft: 2/10/2017

Team Lead: Michele Wilmoth

Available & Accurate Data for Identification of Students with

Asthma

Increase education and training • EZB/student inhaler technique checklist • Teacher and school staff • School nursing staff (Simulation center/annual

competencies)

Asthma Care Management SMART Aim/Goal (Specific, Measurable, Attainable,

Relevant, time-bound)

SMART Aim: To achieve a 75% adherence rate with controller

medications among patients enrolled in a Medicaid HMO who are

diagnosed with severe persistent asthma and/or high risk asthma by

December 31st, 2017.

Top 3-5 Performance Improvement Priorities

• Increase the % of new prescriptions filled at Akron Children’s Hospital outpatient pharmacy (and at bedside) of hospitalized patients with asthma prior to discharge home to 50%.

• Achieve 95% adherence with documenting patient’s/family’s ability to identify the role of rescue and controller medications in the patient/family education tab of the EMR.

• Achieve 80% adherence with documenting patient’s/family’s ability to demonstrate correct techniques for medication administration in the patient/family education tab of the EMR.

(Based on being a High Risk, Problem-Prone, and/or High Volume Area)
