Implications Where do we begin? Aligns with Baker s report - focus on target populations not specific conditions/diseases in isolation. I. Key populations: a) Frail elderly b) Geographic locations of high users c) Those with: i. Multiple co-morbidities ii. Mental health and addictions 24

Implications continued II. Use of reliable evidence-based assessment tools to get at most complex patients: a) Inpatient-LACE b) Develop a simple predictive tool to get at high users in ED (entry point for 70% of all high users) Fred Smith 3 rd Visit to ED in 12 Months III. Develop strategies in ED (gateway for entry into heavy use of health care resources) ---beyond treat and release of high users 25

Focus on high users aligns with Ministry and LHIN priorities 1. Seniors Strategy 2. ALC 3. Improve Primary Care with Advanced Access 4. Sustainability-reduce avoidable hospitalization through integrated care for chronic diseases, mental health and addictions 5. Right care, right place and the right setting and at the right time 6. Improve quality of care more upfront and timely primary and community care intervention 7. Reduce avoidable ED visits 8. Health equity 26

Practical Applications to Improve Local Health System Useful in LHIN planning of networks Realign community mental health and addictions programs to respond to avoidable ED visits Implementing effective diabetes and chronic diseases strategy in the community Focus on enhanced palliative care at home Investment of limited additional resources to target high users e.g. Rapid Response Nurse (RRN) initiative 27

Identification of High Users MH LHIN RRN program targets high users in 2 ways: LACE 10 or more (readmission risk > 12%) AND Home address in a High User postal code as defined by MH LHIN data e-lace data used to model RRN volumes / workflow Vast majority are seniors 37

In Summary, the RRN Initiative = Alignment Designed to improve care for High Users in MH LHIN by integrating across the continuum of care Focus mostly on frail seniors with multiple comorbidities Use of Ontario evidence-based tool (LACE) Reducing readmissions is engrained hospitals QIPs Aligns with expected bestpath recommendations Utilizes process improvement to improve quality of care Core infrastructure for lean virtual ward 39
