INTERACT 3.0
"Interventions to
Reduce Acute Care Transfers" ®
1. Understand INTERACT as an evidence-based tool designed to Reduce Acute Care Transfers
2. Understand how INTERACT will improve your daily goal of safety and resident centered care
Objectives
3. Describe and understand how to put the INTERACT tools to use in every day practice
4. Describe and understand how to deploy INTERACT in your nursing home
5. Gain insight from fellow professionals about the benefits and barriers of the implementation of INTERACT
The Opportunity for Improvement
The national average readmission rate has remained steady at slightly above
19% for several years19% for several years

What is INTERACT
A quality improvement program designed to improve the identification, evaluation, and communication about changes in resident status
INTERACT
Include evidence and expert-recommended clinical practice tools, implementation strategies, and related educational resources

History
INTERACT Program
Originally developed in 2006 by Joseph Ouslander MD p
Studied 200 hospitalizations from 20 nursing homes
Found that 2/3 of hospitalizations were potentially avoidable

The Data
Avoidable Hospitalizations
• 45% of hospitalizations among beneficiaries receiving Medicare SNF services or Medicaid NF services are potentially avoidable
• Combined Medicare and Medicaid costs for these 314,000 potentially avoidable hospital admissions total $2.7 billion per year, and Medicare costs account for $2.6 billion of that total
Walsh, Freiman, Haber, Bragg, Ouslander, & Wiener, 2010

Five conditions responsible for 78% of the potentially avoidable hospitalizations:
1. Pneumonia
Avoidable Hospitalizations
1. Pneumonia 2. Congestive heart failure 3. Urinary tract infection4. Dehydration5. COPD/ Asthma
Walsh, Freiman, Haber, Bragg, Ouslander, & Wiener, 2010
Avoidable Hospitalizations SNF
One in 4 Medicare beneficiaries admitted to a SNF are re-admitted to hospital within 30 days at a cost of 4.3 billion
Up to 2/3 of hospital transfers are rated as Up to 2/3 of hospital transfers are rated as potentially avoidable by expert LTC health professionals
Financial incentives through pay-for-performance, bundled payments and other strategies

Acknowledgement
• The INTERACT Program and Tools were initially developed by Joseph G. Ouslander, MD and Mary Perloe, MS, GNP at the Georgia Medical Care Foundation with the support of a contract from CMS
• The current version of the INTERACT Program was developed by members of the INTERACT Team with input from many direct care providers and national experts in projects based at Florida Atlantic University supported by The Commonwealth Fund
INTERACT Goal
• Improve Care
• Not prevent all hospital transfers
• Be used in everyday care in the nursing home

Promising Interventions
Communication
CNAs are busy giving direct care
Unit managers are busy giving busy giving medications, taking physician orders, and admitting new residents
Stop and Watch
Stop and Watch Role Play

Stop and Watch
• To guide direct care staff through a brief review of early changes in resident’s condition.
• To improve communication between frontline staff and the nurse in charge about early changes in condition.
Stop and Watch
Who can use it?• CNAs• Therapist• Dietary• Housekeeping• Housekeeping• Activities• Laundry• Maintenance• Business Office• Family/Friends• Anyone with direct resident contact on a regular
basis
Stop and Watch
Changes?
• Actions or behaviors that are not part of their normal routine
• Change from baselineg
• Changes in mental status
• Changes in physical status
• Changes in function
• Changes in behavior
• Changes in pain level
When in doubt, Fill it out!

Case Example
• CNA notices Ms. Jones is not eating like she usually does. She has chicken and dumplings, her favorite, and she hardly took a bite.
• Housekeeping notices Mr. Smith has been in his room everyday for the last few days when they clean it at 2pm. He usually always goes to Bingo at this time.
• The physical therapy assistant notices Mrs. Bradford is requiring 2 people for transfers. She usually only has to have 1 person stand by.
• The son comes to visit his dad and notices not only is his short term memory worse, he is having difficulty with his long term memory.
Barriers to Success
• Inconsistent assignment/turnover
• Unit nurse with insufficient resident knowledge
• Broken relationships and communication betweenBroken relationships and communication between nurse and CNA
• Resistance to change –verbal method of communication
Close the Loop
• “Thanks Sally. When you noticed Ms. J not eating well, we assessed her further and found she had a UTI. By catching it early, we were able to treat her here and kept her from being sent to the hospital.”
• “Jane, thanks for filling out the Stop and Watch. We were , g pable to notify the physician and do some lab work and have changed his meds.”
• “Mrs. Bradford’s blood pressure meds had been changed and were too strong for her. Thanks for letting us know about her change.”
• “Thanks for letting us know about your concerns for your dad. We did some lab work and the physician is starting him on some new medications.”

Case Study
• Sadie Jones is an 81 year-old retired schoolteacher admitted to the hospital from home with pneumonia. Past medical history includes COPD, CHF, and Osteoarthritis. She admitted to your facility with plans to return home after rehab.
• CNA notes she isn’t herself early that morning.
• She is somewhat irritable, not interested in breakfast and doesn’t want to go to therapy.
• She tells the CNA she is having trouble breathing.
• Finished her last dose of Levofloxacin yesterday.
• CXR shows persistent left lower lobe infiltrate and hyperinflation of both lungs consistent with COPD
• BP 130/70 HR 90 RR 22 Temp 100.5
Change in Condition File Cards and Care Paths
• Change in Condition File Cards
– Based on AMDA Clinical Practice Guideline
– Meant to be used to reference when to notify a physician
• Care Paths
– Provide guidance on when to notify the MD/NP/PA
– Suggest evaluation strategies
– Provide recommendations for management and monitoring in the facility
– Educational tool

Discussion
Questions/comments you may have• “This is going to take so long!”
– Time it– Avoid redundancy
• “What about the “A” section?”• What about the A section?– Does not ask for a diagnosis– DOES capitalize on staff knowledge– DOES capture unique knowledge staff may have
about history• “Do I have to use it for everything?”
– No– Used for change in condition
Nursing Home Capabilities List
• Used to let physicians, nurse practitioners, emergency rooms, hospitals, and case manager know what your facility can take care of, or what services you provide
• Aides in the decision making of if a resident can be managed in your facility or if they need to be hospitalized

• Paper and Pencil tool for tracking transfers
• Not necessary if you are using the INTERACT Hospitalization Rate Tracking Tool INTERACT Hospitalization Rate Tracking Tool or Advancing Excellence Campaign Hospitalization Tracking Tool
• Maybe helpful when you start to summarize and use as a worksheet
Quality Improvement Tool for Review of Acute Care Transfers
• Tool to help analyze hospital transfers
• Helps identify opportunities to reduce transfers that are preventable
H l t l t t l i• Helps team complete a root cause analysis
• Helps identify common reasons for transfers

Quality Improvement Tool for Review of Acute Care Transfers

Panel Discussion
Learn how INTERACT can help improve care and prepare for Medicare financial incentives and prepare for Medicare financial incentives
to reduce potentially avoidable hospital transfers
There are no problems we cannot solve together, and
very few that we can solve by ourselves.
