How well are we doing?
“Our facility delivers the best possible end-of-life care.”
“Our palliative care team has a significant impact on the care of veterans.”
“Veterans who die in our hospice unit get much better care that they would elsewhere.”
How do you know?

You don’t know
“ When hearing something unusual, do not pre-emptively reject it, for that would be folly. Indeed, horrible things may be true, and familiar and praised things may prove to be lies. Truth is truth unto itself, not because people say it is.”
-Ibn al-Nafis

What is PROMISE?
The quality measurement center for the VA’s CELC Initiative
Based at the Philadelphia VAMC Center for Health Equity Research and Promotion
Funding through CELC for:» A voice for veterans/families» Actionable data that can guide
facility- VISN- and national-level planning and strategy.

What does PROMISE deliver?
Data for facilities about the quality of end-of-life care they provide» Timely feedback» Understandable reports» Meaningful benchmarks
Practical guidance for HPC programsUseful evaluations for CELC Initiative
leadership
![Page 10: PROMISE Performance Reporting and Outcomes Measurement to Improve the Standard of care at End-of-life The PROMISE team.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649ed15503460f94be0b1f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Framework for PROMISE data: Domains of care (from NCP guidelines)
Physical aspects of careSocial aspects of careSpiritual, religious, and existential aspects
of careCultural aspects of care Care of the imminently dying patientPsychological and psychiatric aspects of
care (including bereavement)
![Page 11: PROMISE Performance Reporting and Outcomes Measurement to Improve the Standard of care at End-of-life The PROMISE team.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649ed15503460f94be0b1f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Framework for PROMISE data: Aspects of care
Outcomes (Families’ perceptions of care)
Processes of care (from chart reviews)
Currently (Q4 FY09) 96 facilities:» ~5800 interviews» ~11,000 chart reviews
![Page 12: PROMISE Performance Reporting and Outcomes Measurement to Improve the Standard of care at End-of-life The PROMISE team.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649ed15503460f94be0b1f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Step #1: Chart review
Deaths identified by Program Managers using VISN data (multiple overlapping samples)
The PROMISE sample:» We identify inpatient deaths» We exclude “unexpected” deaths (e.g. ER,
suicide, homicide, OR for outpatient procedure)
Remote chart reviews via Global CPRS
![Page 13: PROMISE Performance Reporting and Outcomes Measurement to Improve the Standard of care at End-of-life The PROMISE team.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649ed15503460f94be0b1f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Step #2: Outcomes of care (The Bereaved Family Survey)
BFS: OMB-approved survey derived from the Family Assessment of Treatment at End-of-life (FATE)
14-item telephone survey administered to the veteran’s NOK 6-10 weeks after death
Procedure:» Predefined algorithm for contacts (NOK first choice)» Initial letter with opt-out provision» Telephone contact» Opportunity for family members to refer to alternate
![Page 14: PROMISE Performance Reporting and Outcomes Measurement to Improve the Standard of care at End-of-life The PROMISE team.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649ed15503460f94be0b1f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Outcomes of care: BFS scoring
All items are either dichotomous or frequency-based» Did you receive as much help as you needed with…
» How often did the health care providers who took care of [veteran]…
Responses dichotomized (Best possible response vs. all others).
BFS and item scores reflect a proportion of the time that the veteran/family received the best possible care.
![Page 15: PROMISE Performance Reporting and Outcomes Measurement to Improve the Standard of care at End-of-life The PROMISE team.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649ed15503460f94be0b1f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Overall BFS scores
![Page 16: PROMISE Performance Reporting and Outcomes Measurement to Improve the Standard of care at End-of-life The PROMISE team.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649ed15503460f94be0b1f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Individual items: (Bereavement support)
![Page 17: PROMISE Performance Reporting and Outcomes Measurement to Improve the Standard of care at End-of-life The PROMISE team.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649ed15503460f94be0b1f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Step #2: Processes of care from chart review: (examples)
Pain assessment in the last 24 hours of last admission
Palliative care consultation noteDocumentation of a surrogate or that a
surrogate could not be foundChaplain contact with veteran/familySocial work noteDocumentation of a bereavement contact
within 2 weeks after death
![Page 18: PROMISE Performance Reporting and Outcomes Measurement to Improve the Standard of care at End-of-life The PROMISE team.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649ed15503460f94be0b1f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Processes of care: Documentation of a bereavement contact
![Page 19: PROMISE Performance Reporting and Outcomes Measurement to Improve the Standard of care at End-of-life The PROMISE team.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649ed15503460f94be0b1f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
How do we use process of care data?
Not performance measuresProcess of care data give diagnostic tools that can:
» Identify potential problems» Find opportunities for improvement» Guide improvement strategies
Process of care data give evidence of impact that can:» Demonstrate the value of what you do» Help to justify (continued) funding
![Page 20: PROMISE Performance Reporting and Outcomes Measurement to Improve the Standard of care at End-of-life The PROMISE team.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649ed15503460f94be0b1f/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Using process of care data as a diagnostic tool
Example: Families at facility X feel they didn’t get enough bereavement support.
Ask:» Are we contacting families? » Or maybe the PCCT is contacting families, but
other providers aren’t?
![Page 21: PROMISE Performance Reporting and Outcomes Measurement to Improve the Standard of care at End-of-life The PROMISE team.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649ed15503460f94be0b1f/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Pitfalls of using process of care data as a diagnostic tool
But:» “We make all our calls at 1 month”» “We document our calls in a collateral note”» “We don’t have time to document our calls”
Only you can decide whether a process measure is useful in your facility.
![Page 22: PROMISE Performance Reporting and Outcomes Measurement to Improve the Standard of care at End-of-life The PROMISE team.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649ed15503460f94be0b1f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Using process of care data to show impact: One facility’s example
Good: “We were able to offer bereavement support to 60% of families of veterans who died as inpatients.”
Better: “Those contacts resulted in a 17-point increase on our facility’s bereavement score.”
Best: “Those contacts resulted in a 17-point increase in our facility’s bereavement score, compared to a national average 10-point increase.”
![Page 23: PROMISE Performance Reporting and Outcomes Measurement to Improve the Standard of care at End-of-life The PROMISE team.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649ed15503460f94be0b1f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Additional data…responses to 2 open-ended questions
“The hospice unit was the best part of the care that [veteran] got in the whole 14 years that he was going to the VA.”
“We really depended on the palliative team—they were wonderful.”
“Everyone was very helpful, but especially [NP on PCCT]. She was always there, always available. We wouldn’t have made it without her.”
![Page 26: PROMISE Performance Reporting and Outcomes Measurement to Improve the Standard of care at End-of-life The PROMISE team.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649ed15503460f94be0b1f/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Additional data…referrals for unmet needs
Unmet needs identified in interviews:» Bereavement
» Questions about care
» Questions about benefits
Referred to VISN coordinator and/or facility patient advocate (with family permission).
Gives us:» An opportunity to meet needs and to leave families with
a good impression of the VA
» Valuable data about needs for improvement
![Page 27: PROMISE Performance Reporting and Outcomes Measurement to Improve the Standard of care at End-of-life The PROMISE team.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649ed15503460f94be0b1f/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Can you give us even more data?
![Page 28: PROMISE Performance Reporting and Outcomes Measurement to Improve the Standard of care at End-of-life The PROMISE team.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649ed15503460f94be0b1f/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Additional data…
Aggregate (broken down) data available to each VISN
“Raw” data available on requestMenu-driven custom reports online (to be at
the PROMISE website)» “Mean BFS score in our ICU, with and without
palliative care”» “Mean bereavement score in our VISN, with and
without a bereavement contact”
![Page 29: PROMISE Performance Reporting and Outcomes Measurement to Improve the Standard of care at End-of-life The PROMISE team.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649ed15503460f94be0b1f/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
VISN “Hotseat calls”
Opportunity to get immediate answers to data questions:» What effect is our chaplain having on families’
perceptions of spiritual support?» What is the impact of palliative care in facility X?» What is the value of a hospice unit in facility Y?
![Page 30: PROMISE Performance Reporting and Outcomes Measurement to Improve the Standard of care at End-of-life The PROMISE team.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649ed15503460f94be0b1f/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Using the PROMISE report: 6 rules
1. Don’t panic
2. Focus! (Look at individual items)
3. Ask: Do you have enough data? (Often two quarters’ worth)
4. Use common sense (does this score make sense?)
5. Select one item to improve that has:1. A low score
2. An obvious action plan
6. Be skeptical about changes
![Page 31: PROMISE Performance Reporting and Outcomes Measurement to Improve the Standard of care at End-of-life The PROMISE team.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649ed15503460f94be0b1f/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
