1 HEALTHSTREAM LIVING LABS IN ACTION A CONVERSATION WITH: Mitchel T. Heflin MD, MHS Associate Professor of Medicine, Duke University School of Medicine Eleanor McConnell PhD, RN, GCNS-BC Associate Professor, Duke University School of Nursing Loretta Matters MSN, RN Associate Director, Center of Excellence for Geriatric Nursing Excellence Duke University School of Nursing Eleanor McConnell PhD, RN, GCNS-BC and Mitchel T. Heflin MD, MHS. Unavailable for Photo: Loretta Matters MSN, RN How do you define Frail Elder and the need to improve care quality for the growing frail elder population across the continuum of care? In general, older adults have a more difficult time recovering from illness or other health stressors like surgery. This is, in part, related to higher rates of medical problems and medications. It is also due to less tangible factors like memory loss, weakness, and fatigue a collage of problems we might refer to as frailty. Imagine an 85-year-old woman in the hospital for repair of a hip fracture. While we would hope that she would recover from surgery promptly and resume her prior routine, issues like confusion, poor nutrition, and immobility can threaten a successful recovery, prolong hospital stays, and increase the need for institutional care after discharge. Further, the complexity of the healthcare system and limited experience and training on the part of healthcare teams about care of frail older adults present additional risks.
2 Can you share some statistics about aging and the size of the frail population? The older adult population in the US is growing steadily such that by 2030, there will be nearly 70 million adults over age 65. The fastest growing portion of that population will be those over 85, for whom frailty is a more common condition. This has important implications for all health professionals. While we imagine an active and contented late life for many of our older patients, we know that aging comes with a greater burden of illness and potential loss of ability and independence. This can result in a growing need for ongoing healthcare and significant challenges to recovery from acute illness. What is the importance of the quality of care and the care continuum for a frail population? Frail elders constitute a disproportionate percentage of those hospitalized. While older adults make up 12-13% of the population, they constitute as much as 40% of those hospitalized. Recent data suggests that we have become better at caring for them in the hospital (at least as much as this is measured by length of stay). However as folks age, they are much less likely to return home after hospitalization to live independently and much more likely to need institutional care. The percentage requiring skilled care post-hospitalization grows by about 50% with each decade of age after 65, such that nearly 50% of those over 85 are routinely discharged to skilled care for rehab or long term care. What is the relationship between readmissions and the frail elder population? Frail elders comprise a significant proportion of hospital readmissions, which are expensive and now have an impact on Medicare/Medicaid reimbursements. Prevention of readmissions for older adults requires recognition of common problems and pitfalls in providing healthcare across settings. For example, greater awareness of the presence of acute confusion, also known as delirium, and the fact that it persists after discharge is important for understanding an older patient s healthcare needs. Also, careful reconciliation of medications and recognition and removal of high risk drugs can help avoid unnecessary complications and can keep people from returning to the emergency department (ED) or hospital. Effective transitions also require careful communication between inter-professional team members across all settings, accounting for medical conditions, medications, monitoring, and follow-up visits. A structured approach to managing these transitions for older adults can improve care and the care experience for these patients and their families.
3 Tell us a little bit about the new certificate program how does it work, what are the topic areas involved, care settings, etc.? Changing this trajectory, or at least caring for people effectively across this period of time, requires not just attending to the admitting diagnosis but to the variety of factors that constitute high quality care for older adults. We have chosen five initial focus areas based on our assessment of the evidence and feedback from teams of professionals who care for frail elders. Increased expertise in these areas would prepare clinicians to impact frailty-related adverse outcomes among older adults across the care continuum. These topic areas include: Delirium, an acute impairment in cognition, which is common among hospitalized elders, and can have far-reaching effects on safety and care outcomes Poor nutrition, an important factor in the development of frailty and a barrier to recovery High risk medications, increase the incidence of adverse events recognition and removal can reduce complications and improve outcomes Transitions of care, a set of robust evidence-based strategies, can improve care delivery between settings and reduce readmissions in high risk older adults Goals of Care, established to help clinicians account for patient prognosis, priorities and preferences in medical decision making in late life. Can you describe the differing ways in which frontline staff, prescribers, and allied staff are currently equipped to face these challenges? What new skills do they need? Members of the care team often are trained to perform a set of tasks or duties that apply narrowly to their functions in caring for a person with a single disorder. Yet care for older adults requires understanding of how multiple diseases interact with each other, and with aging. Failing to understand these complexities can create gaps in care, leading to delayed diagnosis of problems, and setting the stage for transitions that are especially risky for the frail elder population. Failing to appreciate the importance of team care can likewise lead to delayed care or unresolved care needs. To address the care needs of older adults across the care spectrum, we have characterized the nature of the problems and desired staff performance from an interprofessional perspective. What makes your program unique? We have identified both core competencies that we expect of all healthcare staff, as well as role-specific competencies. For example, in the area of medications ALL professionals should understand that geriatric syndromes such as malnutrition, falls, cognitive disturbance, and urinary incontinence may result from an adverse drug effect. Prescribers, however, need to have more in-depth knowledge of how to avoid high risk drugs and how to prescribe therapeutic alternatives. Likewise, medication reconciliation, which is already mandated by the Joint Commission, takes on added importance (and complexity) in elders who are also likely to be cared for by multiple providers. In addition to role-specific differences in content, we have designed the modules to take into account both common and distinct
4 implications for care in different care settings. For example, delirium onset is much more prevalent in the hospital than in other care settings. However, delirium can certainly be first observed in the clinic setting either in the context of new-onset acute illness, or in the context of post-acute care. For this reason, it is important for ALL care settings to have the capacity to recognize and assess delirium, and to develop a setting appropriate response. However, opportunities in clinic and home care to observe behavioral indicators of delirium are much more limited than in hospital or residential LTC settings so heightened awareness among staff is needed, along with setting-specific examples of what they might see and how they might engage family caregivers more effectively. To make sure every member of the care team knows how to diagnose and handle situations, we are going to provide training in best practices that are supported by evidence. The content of the training will be provided at two levels: that which is applicable across the entire team and that which is customized by individual role, as appropriate. How are you going to ensure the program can reach the whole continuum of care spectrum? Using the example of delirium care, there are key differences in when and how delirium affects other aspects of care in the acute care, clinic, home care, and long-term care settings. Delirium onset is most likely in the acute care environment and its early recognition and management is critical. Since delirium symptoms often persist into the post-acute care phase, the emphasis in those settings is on continuing to manage the delirium precipitating factors, and preventing or recognizing relapse in a timely manner. In contrast, in the clinic setting, the key challenge is not overlooking delirium as a presenting feature of acute illness, and educating family about prevention in the case of elective procedures. Why does Duke have the unique expertise to create this program? Duke is home to The Center for the Study of Aging, one of only five original U.S. centers for aging research established by the Surgeon General of the United States in Duke is the only continuously funded member of the original group, with currently more than 126 Faculty and staff garnering more than $20 million in annual age-related research funding. The Duke Aging Center s faculty include representatives from many disciplines and professions, including those affiliated with both the School of Nursing and the School of Medicine, both of which are top-10 ranked nationally for their expertise in geriatrics. A particular focus of Duke s work is on improving workforce capacity to care for elders. Duke School of Nursing was the first nursing school in the nation to establish a Gerontological master s degree program in the 1960s, and has had a sustained commitment to improving care of older adults. Duke is a National Hartford Center of Gerontological Nursing Excellence (NHCGNE), focused on improving care of older adults by enhancing the expertise of frontline nursing staff and accelerating the implementation of evidence-based care approaches. The Geriatrics Division of the Duke School of Medicine has been producing fellowship-trained geriatricians for over 3 decades. We provide 1-2 years of advanced training in geriatric medicine and place graduates in clinical and academic positions across the country.
