Strategies to Building a Program
1. Administrative Buy-in
2. Palliative Care Team & Case Manager
3. Education
4. Use the 8 domains of Palliative Care to guide care
5. Quality Metrics
6. Leadership
7. Creative Staffing
8. Hardwire PC Principles
9. Workforce Development
![Page 19: Rural Palliative Care Networking Group Meeting · Birth of Palliative Care at LHS 2005 • Started Home Care-based Palliative Care program 2007-2008 • Grant provided seed money](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081405/5f0a6f717e708231d42b9eb7/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Strategies
Administrative Buy-in
• Financial considerations – For profit vs Critical Access
payment system
• Quality of patient care – Mission driven care at LHS is based
upon case management and coordinated care by care teams.
– Medical Home
– Joint Connection
– Obstetrics
– Palliative Care
![Page 20: Rural Palliative Care Networking Group Meeting · Birth of Palliative Care at LHS 2005 • Started Home Care-based Palliative Care program 2007-2008 • Grant provided seed money](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081405/5f0a6f717e708231d42b9eb7/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Financial Considerations
Patient-Centered Care is the philosophy of care at Lakewood
• Mission Alignment
Financial incentives for PC frequently cited
• Decreased LOS, decreased ICU days, decreased procedures
For Rural hospitals/clinics this may not be an incentive
• Critical Access Hospitals and Rural Health Clinics are paid
“cost plus”
• So reducing LOS, ICU days and procedures actually
reduces income
Health Care Reform
• Hospitals will be responsible for total care of patient
regardless of cost
• Decreases in silos of care and better interdisciplinary care
![Page 21: Rural Palliative Care Networking Group Meeting · Birth of Palliative Care at LHS 2005 • Started Home Care-based Palliative Care program 2007-2008 • Grant provided seed money](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081405/5f0a6f717e708231d42b9eb7/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Quality of Patient Care
Now palliative care is the best example of how
to take care of complex patients that is
• Patient centered (improved experience)
• Quality driven
• Contains cost (reduces waste)
This is the Triple Aim
![Page 22: Rural Palliative Care Networking Group Meeting · Birth of Palliative Care at LHS 2005 • Started Home Care-based Palliative Care program 2007-2008 • Grant provided seed money](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081405/5f0a6f717e708231d42b9eb7/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Quality of Patient Care
Value = Quality + Service/Cost
• Affordable Care Act is shifting payments from Fee-for-Service to value-based payment
• But we aren’t there yet
• Time of great uncertainty
• Ongoing data mining
![Page 23: Rural Palliative Care Networking Group Meeting · Birth of Palliative Care at LHS 2005 • Started Home Care-based Palliative Care program 2007-2008 • Grant provided seed money](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081405/5f0a6f717e708231d42b9eb7/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Strategies
Palliative Care Team & Case Manager• Interdisciplinary Team Model
– RN Case Manager
– MD
– Social Worker
– Chaplain
– Pharmacist
• Every 2 weeks for Community-based, Home-based,
Long-term Care patients with team that includes
hospice team
• Inpatients are rounded on daily
![Page 24: Rural Palliative Care Networking Group Meeting · Birth of Palliative Care at LHS 2005 • Started Home Care-based Palliative Care program 2007-2008 • Grant provided seed money](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081405/5f0a6f717e708231d42b9eb7/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Strategies
EducationStaff
• ELNEC/Stratis/CAPC/PCLC/PCNoW
• Webinars
• Grant-funded courses
• Order sets
Community
• Community & Service Groups
• Word of Mouth – volunteers & patients
• Season of Lights annual remembrance ceremony

Strategies
Use the 8 domains of Palliative Care to
guide our care1. Structure and processes of care
2. Physical aspects of care
3. Psychosocial and psychiatric aspects of care
4. Social aspects of care
5. Spiritual, religious, and existential aspects of care
6. Cultural aspects of care
7. Care of the imminently dying patient
8. Ethical and legal aspects of care

Strategies
Quality Metrics
Build in quality measures from the beginning
• use your clinical informatics team – the data has to be gathered anyway
• Resources for metrics:
• National Quality Forum Preferred Practices
• CAPC
• NHPCO
• Hospice quality metrics
• Quality Measures for Community-Based, Rural Palliative Care Programs Minnesota: A Pilot Study (citation)
![Page 27: Rural Palliative Care Networking Group Meeting · Birth of Palliative Care at LHS 2005 • Started Home Care-based Palliative Care program 2007-2008 • Grant provided seed money](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081405/5f0a6f717e708231d42b9eb7/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Strategies
Leadership
• Don’t always need to recruit new hires. Look for PC champions in the
staff you already have and train them.
• Medical staff who have been doing primary PC for years but aren’t
board certified.
• Geriatricians
• APNs
• Hospitalists
• LTC RNs
• Discharge planning team – social workers, homecare nurses
![Page 28: Rural Palliative Care Networking Group Meeting · Birth of Palliative Care at LHS 2005 • Started Home Care-based Palliative Care program 2007-2008 • Grant provided seed money](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081405/5f0a6f717e708231d42b9eb7/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Strategies
Creative Staffing
• Look at the Hospice IDT in your service areas
• Social worker at LTC or hospice
• System chaplain
• Infusion therapy nurses
• Hospice volunteers (crossed trained to both PC and
hospice)
• Pharmacist
![Page 29: Rural Palliative Care Networking Group Meeting · Birth of Palliative Care at LHS 2005 • Started Home Care-based Palliative Care program 2007-2008 • Grant provided seed money](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081405/5f0a6f717e708231d42b9eb7/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Strategies
Hardwire Palliative Care Principles
Train core nursing staff with basic PC principles
• All our LTC RNs receive training on core PC principles. It
has increased primary PC in all LTC residents. We try to
offer PC classes 3 times a year to LPNs/CNAs – they take
care of the residents and do most of the talking to the
families. If they have solid training everything else goes
more smoothly especially when transitioning between
venues.
• ELNEC trained staff can return to your system and train
your staff
![Page 30: Rural Palliative Care Networking Group Meeting · Birth of Palliative Care at LHS 2005 • Started Home Care-based Palliative Care program 2007-2008 • Grant provided seed money](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081405/5f0a6f717e708231d42b9eb7/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Strategies
Workforce Development
Develop PC training for any students you have coming through your system. Medical students, nursing students, social work interns, chaplain interns, pharmacy students are your future workforce. If you train them now they will be that far ahead when they come back to work for you.
We dedicate structured time twice yearly to holding classes for a variety of students. ELNEC curriculum is a great resource.

Data
• Most quality data on palliative care services
originates in large hospitals
– Lengths of stay
– ICU days
– Procedure costs
• Stratis Quality Measures Pilot
– Rural healthcare quality data
– 2012
– Early unpublished data

How Do They Get Started
• Referral comes to social services department
• Discuss/assess palliative care options and criteria
• Initial assessment with patient, family or caregiver, palliative social worker, palliative nurse, PharmD, and whom ever the patient wishes to have present.
• Palliative team will connect with:
• Primary care provider (MD, NP or PA)
• Patients caregivers ,
• Other supporting community resources

Care Plan/Urgency Plan
• Patient centered
• Multidisciplinary( pharmacy, provider, chaplain, social work, RN, RT, PT)
• Documented and updated in medical record system every time there is a call, a change in condition or plan, or monthly at our IDT(inter-disciplinary team) meetings.
• Urgency plans developed with patient and provider for specific disease states and urgent issues. Patients often have RX to start at home to aid in avoiding unnecessary visits to ED and hospital admissions.
