1 DIVERT Development of interventions to prevent ED Utilization Andrew P. Costa, PhD Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences & Mount Sinai, Toronto Department of Medicine, McMaster University, Hamilton Tom Peirce, MBA VP, Strategy, Quality and Performance Management Hamilton Niagara Haldimand Brant Community Care Access Centre 1

2 Agenda 1. DIVERT Scale. HNHB DIVERT Project Goals Planning Care Plans Evaluation

3 Home Care and ED Use Home care patients represent an prevalent and frail subgroup Account for ~ 9% of 6; ~ % of 8 (Ontario estimates) At very high risk for ED use (Wilson and Truman; 00) Efficient Care = Prioritization Evidence that prioritization + intervention is feasible and causes more efficient service provision (Landi et al. 1999; Manuel et. al., 01; Mukamel et al., 1997; Pathy et al., 199; Stuck et al., 00) No prognostic tools to determine likelihood of ED use

4 DIVERT Study N= 61,9 WRHA, Manitoba All LHINs, Ontario

5 ED use by the home care population samples

6 DIVERT Scale 6

7 Kaplan Meier survival curve for days to first unplanned ED visit within 6 months of an assessment, by DIVERT Scale, Validation Sample % 16% 0% 0% % 68% 7

8 Distribution of the DIVERT Scale across diagnostic categories, Validation Sample Cancer (N=1,17) Cardiovascular (N=70,) Demen a (N=8,60) Diabetes (N=9,099) Emphysema/ COPD/asthma (N=7,0) Infec ons (N=10,61) Musculoskeletal (N=98,79) Neurological (N=10,6) Psychiatric (N=,07) Renal Failure (N=9,6) 8 Percent (%)

9 Proportion with any unplanned ED visits within 6 months of an in home assessment by DVERT Scale and across diagnostic categories, Validation Sample Cancer (AUC=0.61) Cardiovascular (AUC=0.61) Demen a (AUC=0.60) Diabetes (AUC=0.6) Emphysema/ COPD/asthma (AUC=0.6) Infec ons (AUC=0.61) Musculoskeletal (AUC=0.61) Neurological (AUC=0.6) Psychiatric (AUC=0.6) Renal Failure (AUC=0.61) 9 Propor on with any ED visits within 6 months of assessment (%)

10 Implications We can estimate risk for future ED visits DIVERT can define an alternate paradigm for decision making Previous ED or hospital use, cardio respiratory symptoms, and mental health Many prognostic factors lie within the realm of ambulatory sensitive conditions and particularly cardio respiratory illness Need for service integration and sharing of information with primary care and specialists Question: We can predict it, but can we prevent ED use? 10

13 HNHB LHIN Source: Action A Call To IntegratiON Now HNHB Strategic Health System Plan

14 HNHB DIVERT Pilot Project Purpose: To start to understand what type and intensity of chronic disease management services and coordination are effective in home care. OBJECTIVES: 1. Pilot Practices Purpose: To explore the feasibility new and sustainable chronic disease management strategies.. Pilot Evaluation Purpose: To test methods for using existing data sources for pragmatic trials. 1
