14 Hamilton Health Sciences (HHS) is a family of five hospitals and a cancer centre, serving more than 2.3 million residents of Hamilton, central south and central west Ontario. HHS is among Canada’s largest teaching hospitals and provides the most comprehensive range of health services of any Ontario hospital. Our 10,000 staff and medical staff serve the 468,000 citizens of Hamilton and the 2.2 million residents of Central South Ontario. As a tertiary care centre for the region, we also provide highly specialized care and services such as burns and trauma, cardiac care, a neonatal intensive care and acute care for children. HHS is an academic health sciences centre affiliated with the Faculty of Health Sciences at McMaster University. The Faculty and University are world-renowned for academic excellence and innovation. Hamilton Health Sciences and McMaster University are preparing the next generation of caregivers and supporting breakthrough research into new and more effective ways to treat patients in Hamilton and from around the world. HHS is doing long-range planning for our redevelopment over the next 20 years. The initiative is called Our Healthy Future and it requires a high degree of staff and community engagement. Redevelopment is a multi-year process for Ontario hospitals requiring approvals from the Local Health Integration Network and the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care. The redevelopment of HHS facilities is just part of the way we will meet our communities’ future health needs. A very important part of our vision is a model of care called population health. It takes into account the entire range of factors that determine a person’s health – such things as income level, housing stability, education, social supports and more. HHS will work in partnership with health and social service providers to identify and intervene with people most at risk of disease or preventable hospital stays. We will bring our services closer to the people who need them most, providing more care at community based hubs and clinics. This approach depends on a more coordinated system of care between the hospital and community-based providers, including primary care.
MAIN PROBLEM
Health care delivery has begun a transformation from volume to value-based care. One of the key concepts underlying this transition is the Triple Aim, the “simultaneous pursuit of three aims: improving the experience of care, improving the health of populations, and reducing per capita costs of health care.” Historically, the health care sector’s primary role has been the provision of episodic high-quality medical care. Many of the biggest drivers of health and health care costs are beyond the scope of health care alone. Health-related social needs often are left undetected and unaddressed. Unmet health-related social needs, such as food insecurity and inadequate or unstable housing, may increase the risk of developing chronic conditions, reduce an individuals’ ability to manage these conditions, increase health care costs, and lead to avoidable health care utilization. Health systems have deferred addressing health-related social needs of patients to public health and other government agencies. Evidence indicates that supportive interventions directed toward the social and environmental barriers faced by patients—the social determinants of health—can influence health outcomes and healthcare spending. Given the growing evidence, the health care sector is beginning to play a more substantial role in addressing these social determinants with a population health lens. Managing population health is the next frontier for healthcare providers - but after decades of treating illness with episodic medical care, how can HHS support physicians, nurses, and other health professionals to make the shift and implement this change in care delivery?
15 OBJECTIVES
The IBM Cúram Research Institute (2013) 2 suggests proactive approaches to address social determinants of health will lead to better outcomes for individuals and society including maintaining or reducing health care costs. The Institute introduced the Smarter Care approach and identified the following five fundamental activities: 1. Identify: How complex are the individual’s needs? What meaningful relationships exist for the individual? What are the key events in the individual’s care history? 2. Assess: What is the magnitude of the individual’s needs? Are the needs similar to other individuals? What are the potential costs and risks? 3. Respond: What resources, programs and entitlements are recommended? What is the best engagement pathway and outcome? What is the next best action to take or contact to make? 4. Manage: What is the recommended care plan? What priority services are needed? Which workers and providers are the best matches to the individual’s needs? What are the key performance indicators for cost, utilization and outcomes? 5. Measure: Are the individual, program and organizations meeting outcome and performance targets? Have significant positive or negative changes occurred? Where are the individual and community hot spots? Are new programs needed? HHS is in the very early phase of shifting to a Population Health approach. As indicated in the literature, developing a proactive standardized approach to integrating health care with health-related social determinants is essential. For the purpose of the Hack the City, we would like to focus on the first of IBM’s five activities: Identify. In order to identify patients HHS will need to utilize technology to develop tools that are based on evidence or best practice to assist busy clinicians to identify high-risk, high-cost patients impacted by health-related social determinants. The following considerations are required: 1. HHS is a large multi-site organization providing care to diverse patient populations. We will need to determine an initial population(s) to focus on. 2. HHS recently analyzed and identified high-cost populations of patients. This analysis included health care costs with an overlay of socioeconomic status (primarily Stats Canada data) – How can this data assist with determining the initial population(s) to focus on? 3. Hospital clinicians are very busy and patients are generally with us for a short period of time (i.e. 5 days). What are the most important factors we should focus on to understand health-related social determinants at both an individual patient level and system level (which will lead us into the second activity: Assess)? 4. Systematic inclusion of a standard set of health-related social determinants will need to built. What is the recommended standard set of health-related social determinants for a hospital? 5. Hospitals experience significant pressures everyday to maintain flow of our patients from the emergency department through to discharge to community. Ultimately we will use information gathered to identify gaps and develop bridges to overcome the gaps – system transformation. In the initial phase, we will use the information gathered for individual care planning – connecting patients with available resources in the community when they transition home. 6. How can HHS’ Electronic Health Record (Meditech), Clinical Connect and Integrated Decision Support tool be used to identify patient and system level health-related determinants of health needs? Are there gaps and/or recommendations? 7. Is there a possibility to flag patients at moderate (rising) or high-risk which may indicate whether a brief or more intensive assessment is required?
16 8. Recognizing other health care and community services organizations use different technology/electronic medical records. 9. Financial constraints. Main qualities we are looking for: 1. Evidence-based/best practice 2. Creativeness 3. Fiscally responsible ie. must integrate with or build on HHS’ Electronic Medical Record, Clinical Connect, Integrated Decision Support Tool 4. Supporting documentation 5. Identification of gaps and recommendations if required References 1 Berwick, DM, Nolan TW, Whittington J. (2008). The Triple Aim: Care, health, and cost.
