Population Health Programs Shady Grove Medical Center has a number of programs and partnerships that aim to address our patients’ broader health needs and spread our reach beyond the hospital’s walls and into the community. The following programs and partnerships are at the core of our mission to improve population health. Hospital Programs Our hospital-wide programs aim to keep patients healthy in the community after an acute-care episode. Transitional Care Program Free to Shady Grove Medical Center patients, the transitional care program is designed to ensure that, upon hospital discharge, patients are returning to a safe environment and have the information and tools necessary to successfully manage their health and prevent an unnecessary return to the hospital. How does it work? Before you are discharged from the hospital, a registered nurse (RN) will meet with you and explain the program in detail and ask if you would like to participate. • If you accept, you will be set up with a scheduled home visit within 48-72 hours of being discharged. • The home visit is then followed by phone calls for 90 days, on a needs basis, until you are stabilized and ready to return to your daily activities. During the 40-45 minute home visit, the nurse carries out a number of tasks intended to empower patients and ensure their safety: U-Turn Program This program is focused on decreasing unnecessary hospital visits and unnecessary returns to the hospital. Upon entry to the Emergency Department (ED), a RN assesses patients for medical and social needs and works to connect them with the appropriate emergency care and community services to be treated and discharged directly from the ED. SeedCo SeedCo is an online software that connects patients and their families to public and private benefits programs. Shady Grove Medical Center is the first hospital in the country to start such an initiative. Often patients are not aware of the benefits programs that they are eligible for. This system identifies and screens patients for a number of benefits such as Medicaid, food stamps, child care subsidies, housing benefits, transportation vouchers, and tax credits. Staff and volunteers follow up with patients and help them through any remaining application processes.

Population Health Programs Tobacco Cessation Program The program consists of RNs identifying patients at the hospital who are smokers, assessing them based on their tobacco cessation history and their willingness to quit, and encouraging them to join the program. The program offers patients free nicotine replacement therapy and over-the-phone counseling for up to a year. The RNs also follow up with them in intervals to coach them and try to help them stay quit. For more information, call 301-891-5004 or visit www.AdventistHealthCare.com/QuitSmoking Remote Patient Monitoring Program The program identifies patients in the hospital with chronic conditions prior to discharge and sends them home with remote home monitoring devices. The devices ask questions each day about symptoms related to their heart and allows them to input biometric data. The devices are Bluetooth or wireless connected, and the data gets sent to a dashboard at Shady Grove Medical Center almost immediately after the patient records it. A nurse then looks gets a list of all of the patients daily. If a patient is having issues, the nurses intervene assist patients in getting them what they need and avoid an unnecessary return to the hospital. Walgreens 340b Drug Program This is a partnership with Walgreens to provide a 30 day supply of discharge medications prior to discharge from Shady Grove Medical Center to ensure all patients have their needed medications in their hand prior to leaving the hospital. Churches and Parish Nurses Adventist HealthCare works with the local parish nurse program, and works closely with local congregations. Around 10-15 religious organizations meet once every two-months in the offices of Shady Grove Medical Center. Parish nurses partner with Adventist on the traditional care needs of discharged patients, and go into the homes of the patients and provide a range of services, including everything from cardiovascular screenings, to taking individuals to the hospital, to trainings on women’s empowerment, self-defense classes, skin cancer screening, and children’s bullying. Prescription Produce Program (partnership with Long Branch Health Enterprise) Shady Grove Medical Center partners with the Crossroad Community Health Market (less than a mile) and Long Branch Health Enterprise to provide a “prescription” for healthy foods for its underinsured/ uninsured diabetic patients. Under the “double food stamps” program, the community market gives physicians fresh-checks and they can prescribe them to some of these patients, at half of the cost. The market has commitments from 22 vendors and local farmers.

Emergency Care

At Adventist HealthCare, we provide emergency health care services to more than 150,000 patients each year ranging in age from newborns to the elderly. Our facilities are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week and are committed to providing the highest quality emergency care in an efficient and timely manner. Our doors are open to anyone in need of emergency medical services. The following are some guidelines that can help you or your loved ones in an emergency or urgent care situation. When in doubt, never hesitate to call your doctor, go to the emergency department, or call 911 for ambulance assistance. WHEN SHOULD I VISIT THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT? These symptoms warrant an immediate trip to the Emergency Department: • Chest pain • Pain in the left arm, neck and jaw • Shortness of breath • Sudden onset headache that can be described as “the worst headache of your life” • Weakness on one side of your body or face. Weakness in one arm or leg • Slurred speech • Bleeding from a cut that will not stop with applied pressure • Vomiting blood or bright red blood in your bowel movements These symptoms warrant a call to your doctor: • Body aches, joint pain, or muscle pain • Flu-like symptoms that persist or get worse over 2 to 3 days

Emergency Care • Any known medication side effect (e.g. nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, mild rash, yellowing of the skin or whites of the eyes) • Any other sign or symptom that is not typical for you WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING FOR ME TO BRING TO THE ED? Bring your medical history to the ED. HOW MUCH TIME WILL MY VISIT TAKE? The length of your wait depends on how many patients are in the ED and how ill you are. The ED sees the most ill patients first. Upon arriving at the hospital, patients who did not come via ambulance will first see a nurse who will begin the triage process. Patients will be assessed and prioritized based on the seriousness of illness or injury. Since each individual will require different levels of medical care and treatment, the length of visit will vary for each patient. CAN I HAVE VISITORS WHILE I AM IN THE ED? Due to limited space and to ensure optimal patient privacy, patients are allowed a limited number of visitors. WILL I NEED TO BE ADMITTED TO THE HOSPITAL? Admittance to the hospital is determined after a thorough examination. Most patients seen in the ED do not need to be admitted to the hospital, but patients who need tests or treatments not conducted in the ED are admitted. WHAT HAPPENS IF THE ED DOCTOR IS NOT ABLE TO PROVIDE ALL OF THE TREATMENTS I NEED WHILE I AM IN THE ED? In the ED, our first goal is to treat life-threatening illnesses and pain. Your illness may need more longterm care than we are able to provide in the ED. It is important that you go to your doctor or clinic appointment after leaving the ED, so they may continue to provide treatment for your illness. HOW DO I PAY FOR MY TREATMENT? The registration staff can answer any questions that you may have about how to pay for your treatment. After being seen by our physician and your condition is stabilized, you may be asked for your insurance co-pay or to make payment arrangements.

C

ontinuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs) offer long-term contracts that guarantee lifelong shelter and access to specified health care services. A staff of medical professionals is on hand to provide different levels of care, from independent living to assisted living and nursing care. A member can move up or down this continuum of care for the rest of their life. Most CCRCs establish requirements for incoming residents based on age, financial assets, income level and physical health. Residents are typically expected to move in while they are still independent to get to know the community. In return for guaranteed lifelong shelter, amenities and health care, residents usually pay a lump-sum entrance fee and regular monthly payments.

There are three basic types of CCRC contracts. An extensive contract covers shelter, residential services, and amenities, plus unlimited long-term nursing care without an increase in monthly payments (except for increases related to operating costs and inflation adjustments). An extensive contract spreads the risk of catastrophic health care costs among all residents, so that no single person faces financial ruin. Entrance fees and monthly costs under this contract are typically higher than those under modified or fee-for-service contracts. A modified continuing care contract covers shelter, residential services and amenities, plus a specified amount of nursing care. After the specified amount has been received, the resident can receive

care at daily or monthly nursing care rates. A fee-for-service continuing care contract covers shelter, residential services and amenities. While emergency and shortterm nursing care is usually included in the contract, access to long-term nursing care is guaranteed only at daily rates. Entrance and monthly fees are lower because residents are responsible for all long-term nursing and health care costs. Most CCRCs provide a variety of residential services that may be covered by monthly fees or be available at extra cost, depending on the contract. Visit the CCRCs you are considering with a trusted family member. Immerse yourself as much as possible in the daily life, and assess the management’s philosophy and its relationship with residents.

Knowing the options when paying for Continuing Care Retirement Communities(CCRCs)

M

ost CCRCs require payment of a one-time fee, usually called the www.retirementlivingsourcebook.com entrance fee, before moving to the community. The entrance fee amount often depends on the level of care at the time of entry, type of housing chosen (with larger units requiring a larger fee) and agreement type. The entrance fee allows the CCRC to offer lower monthly fees and provide for the future needs of residents. State regulations can impact the terms of the entrance fee and in some states, refunds are called rebates. Entrance fees are typically structured in one of three ways: Declining scale refunds, also known as amortizing entrance fees, specify a period of time in which the entrance fee will be refundable to the resident on a declining basis. For example, if an entrance fee under this arrangement declines at the rate of 1 percent each month, after 6 months 94 percent of the entrance fee is refundable.

Partially refundable entrance fees guarantee a specific percentage of the refund that will be returned within a certain period of time regardless of the term of residency. For example, 50 percent of the entrance fee may be refundable upon termination of the contract or to the estate upon the resident’s death. Full refunds offer just that, a full refund of the entrance fee. A fixed charge may be deducted before the refund is made, and the agreement generally states how long the refund is valid and under what conditions a refund is due. Entrance fees that offer full refunds are typically more expensive than those without refunds or those that are partially refundable or refundable on a declining basis. Excerpt from Consumer Guide to Understanding Financial Performance and Reporting: Enhancing People’s Lives in Continuing The entrance fee amount often depends on the level Care Retirement Communities. The guide is of care at the time of entry, type of housing chosen available free of charge at www.carf.org. and agreement type.

Independent Living Communities Communities offer security with no home maintenance

T

he more years you put behind you, the more worries you may have about continuing to maintain your home. When you do not need medical supervision, but feel like washing your hands of endless home-related tasks, independent living is an option that can help. What is Independent Living? Independent living communities are residential communities for active older adults who want an enjoyable lifestyle free of the worries and trouble of home maintenance. They are similar to any apartment, condominium or single-family development, except that they provide special services, including security—

an important consideration for many residents. Most independent living communities are fully secured, with staff members greeting and screening all visitors around the clock. Residents can leave home for extended periods of time knowing that their living quarters will be safe. As many individuals at this stage in their lives are looking to pursue new hobbies and interests with their free time, the activities and amenities available at a community are a major factor for potential residents. Several independent living communities provide a full range of activities such as shopping trips, outings to cultural events and organized gatherings that pro-

mote socialization. Some communities also have tennis courts, swimming pools, activity rooms and other amenities that keep residents active and engaged. Most offer a variety of meal plans, including the option to prepare meals in your own apartment. Most independent living communities do not offer health care services (such as those provided, for example, by assisted living communities and skilled nursing/ rehabilitation facilities), but some independent living communities are affiliated with health care facilities that can provide such care when it is needed. Residents also have the option of purchasing home health care services from outside providers to whom they may have grown accustomed.

understand rental options what is available and how to qualify

A

ccording to LeadingAge, formerly the American Association of Homes and Services for the Aging, a person can rent an apartment either at the market rate or, if his or her income level qualifies, at a lower rate. These apartments are often designed with seniors in mind. For example, there may be railings in bathrooms or power outlets higher up on the wall. Many communities also offer a 24-hour emergency call service and some may also provide different kinds of services such as meals, transportation, social activities and other programs. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) funds several rental assistance programs for seniors who qualify. These programs include public housing or low-income housing that is owned and operated by a local housing authority. To apply for public housing or Section 8 certificates or vouchers, you must go to your housing authority.

Assisted Living Communities Providing supportive services

A

ssisted Living communities offer housing and a variety of supportive services delivered by qualified staff members. As opposed to independent living communities, health care services are available at assisted living communities. The Assisted Living Federation of America (ALFA) notes that assisted living is “a unique transition from independent living without care” that “helps seniors enjoy an improved quality of life with independence and care combined.” Community amenities vary widely but can include private units, state-of-the-art facilities, beautifully decorated common areas, barber shops and beauty parlors, pharmacies, physical therapy services, recreation rooms, libraries, gardening areas, and fitness centers. Consumers will quickly find that assisted living communities, also commonly called

residential care facilities or personal care homes, come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Who Needs It? Residents of assisted living usually include anyone who needs some help with the activities of daily life. These include eating, bathing, dressing, transferring, toileting, medication management and walking. Most communities offer three meals a day served in a common dining area. Many also offer some type of assistance with transportation. Housekeeping and laundry services are standard offerings. Staff members are available to meet resident needs 24 hours a day. Most communities are equipped with security systems, and emergency call systems are often available in all residences. For residents with more acute health care needs, such as Alzheimer’s or

other forms of dementia, special units and/ or specially trained staff members are often available. In addition, communities offer a wide range of social activities to stimulate resident contact. Choosing a Community First and foremost, consider the needs and desires of the potential resident. Narrow the search by reviewing a list of all the local communities. Request a brochure from your top choices, as well as other specific information such as the resident agreement or contract, a list of services and amenities, detailed prices, staffing information, admission and discharge criteria, and community rules. Visit a facility more than once to get a complete feel of the lifestyle at the community. Talk with staff and residents and tour the entire facility.

Specialized Care

A l z he i mer ’ s

Choose Alzheimer’s Care A Special Care Residence May Be the Right Option

C

ertification standards for nursing homes and adult care residences do not specifically address dementia special care units. You will need to rely on your own judgment when considering a special care unit. Visit more than one special care unit and compare them. Use all your senses when you visit — sight, smell and hearing are all important. Be sensitive to the overall atmosphere and how the staff interacts with the residents. Ask about the number of staff on duty at all times and find out about any special training they have had. Generally, the more staff available, the higher the quality of care. Some reports find a daytime ratio of six residents to one staff person to be adequate in a special care unit; others feel

that a ratio of eight to one can also result in quality care. At night, when residents are in bed, a higher patient to staff ratio may be fine. Get a written description of the services and programs offered by any special care unit along with the charges or fees associated. This description should clearly explain to you how the special care unit differs from the rest of the nursing home or assisted living facility. It should emphasize special training the staff receives and describe the environment. Before choosing a special care unit, you should be confident that the higher price charged for care in the unit will actually result in better care for your relative. You may find that your relative can be adequately cared for in a regular unit.

Finally, talk with someone about special care units. Your state ombudsman, your local chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association or your local Area Agency on Aging are all good resources. They may be able to provide you with a more detailed consumer checklist to help you compare special care units. All dementia special care units should focus on the individual needs of the resident. Care plans should be developed, implemented and reviewed often. All patients should be treated with respect and dignity in a physical environment that encourages independence while promoting safety. Researching special care residences can ensure your loved one will receive the proper support he/she needs.

Nursing & Rehabilitation Centers Specialized care for individuals who need daily assistance

W

hile some individuals are able to continue running their households with little assistance, there are those who may have debilitating physical or emotional conditions that require care beyond what family or professional home care aides can provide. What is Nursing Care? At a nursing home, care is administered by professionals under the direction of a physician. Many facilities also offer subacute, respite, rehabilitation and other short-term care. Rehabilitation services can be especially helpful for individuals who are recovering from surgery, an illness or any other life-changing event. These homes serve as permanent residences for individuals who are too sick or frail to live at home, or as temporary facili-

ties during a recovery period after a surgery or illness. Who Pays for Nursing Care? Medicare, Medicaid, private insurance and personal assets are all used under various circumstances to pay for services in a nursing care facility. If a facility is not certified by Medicare and Medicaid, the care will have to be paid for entirely with personal funds. In general, Medicare pays for skilled nursing care following hospitalization for the same illness or condition at 100 percent of the cost for days 1 – 20. Some long-term care insurance pays for nursing home care; insurance payments are usually a fixed amount for a specified number of qualified days. The basic daily rate is the standard charge the nursing home bills to all resi-

dents, which covers the fundamental services every resident receives, including rent for the room, housekeeping, meals and general nursing care. It is important to understand all the services and amenities that are not included in the basic daily rate. What to Look for in Nursing Care Before choosing a home, contact the Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program of your Area Agency on Aging. Ombudsman programs promote the highest quality of life and care for residents of nursing facilities and can help families and staff with inquiries and complaints. Tell the ombudsman which options you are considering and request any information they may have. Visit your prospective communities at different times of day. Talk with residents. Be persistent about getting your questions answered.

Solve Long-Term Care Issues

T

An Ombudsman Can Help

he word “Ombudsman” is a Swedish term for a person who acts as a third party in resolving problems. A LongTerm Care Ombudsman can assist consumers who are choosing long-term care providers (nursing facilities, assisted living facilities, retirement communities, adult day care programs and home care agencies) by offering information on an individual provider’s services, history of complaints and their licensure status. Ombudsmen are advocates who work to improve the quality of life for seniors and other individuals receiving long-term care services. In addition to providing the information necessary to make an informed decision about a long-term care provider, an Ombudsman can also investigate and help resolve complaints against specific longterm care providers.Utilizing volunteers, an Ombudsman can arrange for weekly visits to a long-term care facility. The overall goal of an Ombudsman is to educate the community at large about long-term care issues while simultaneously helping to train the staff of long-term care providers. An Ombudsman can inform consumers of their rights and long-term care providers of their responsibilities. What Can an Ombudsman Do? An Ombudsman can formally address complaints and concerns. The Ombudsman strives to empower the resident first and then intervene as needed. They can assist through counseling, formal complaint

investigation and negotiation. The counseling received from an Ombudsman is strictly confidential and can help individuals become an advocate for themselves or a loved one. An Ombudsman will listen to complaints and then offer information and referrals via the telephone, email or at an in-person visit to a long-term care facility. If the concern requires a formal investigation, the Ombudsman will act as an advocate on behalf of the long-term care

recipient during this investigation. He/she will gather facts and relevant information to determine whether the complaint is valid. Then the Ombudsman will work with the long-term care recipient or their representative and the provider to determine the appropriate course to resolve the problem.

This article was adapted from www.fairfaxcounty.gov/ltcombudsman, which explains the Northern Virginia LongTerm Care Ombudsman Program in detail.

Understanding Home-Based Care in Maryland

A

ccording to the Maryland Health Care Commission, “Home-Based Care can include a variety of activities such as nursing care, rehabilitation services (for example, physical therapy), assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs), assistance with housekeeping, chores and meal preparation, or assistance with activities to maintain health, such as taking medications.” There are several types of agencies that provide these services throughout Maryland. For individuals needing home-based care, it is important to first determine what type(s) of help you need to narrow your search of agencies and find one that will meet your specific needs. The following information from the Maryland Health Care Commission provides a look at the different agencies and their state regulations.

other services such as physical therapy, occupational therapy or social services. Several kinds of health care staff may provide care based on your needs. Home health agencies participate in the Medicare program and many health insurance programs include a home health benefit. A physician referral is required, so it is a good idea to talk to your doctor if you think you might need this type of care. Usually a medical reason is needed for these services to be reimbursed by Medicare or insurance. Generally, home-based care is appropriate whenever a person prefers to stay at home but needs ongoing care that cannot easily be provided by family and friends.

Nurse Referral Service Agencies (NRSA) These agencies screen and refer licensed nurses, home health aides, homemakers, livein caretakers, and companions for individuals needing help in their home. The person seeking assistance contracts directly with the indiHome Health Agencies Home health agencies provide nursing ser- vidual who will provide the service and may vices, home health aides and one or more pay the agency or the provider for services.

Residential Services Agencies (RSA) RSAs provide supportive home care services, that is, assistance with ADLs and/or housekeeping services. They may provide one or more home care services, such as provision of oxygen or medical equipment, which includes wheelchairs, walkers and hospital beds. An RSA cannot participate in the Medicare Program; however, Level III RSAs can provide skilled nursing services. RSAs employ all their caregivers, while NRSAs do not. The person seeking assistance contracts with the agency. RSA services are sometimes paid for by the person using services, but are generally covered under long-term care insurance policies and may be paid through medical insurance in some circumstances.

pay for home care understanding costs can help with decision making www.retirementlivingsourcebook.com As remaining at home is becoming an increasingly popular option for many, it is important to understand the costs of care and your payment options while researching different home healthcare companies. Costs for companion care are covered primarily by private payments. Home healthcare must also be paid for with private funds, unless it is prescribed by a physician and provided by a Medicare-certified agency. Prices for home health care vary widely. Long-term care insurance policies may cover companion care and home health care. If you qualify for Medicaid, a government program for low-income individuals, it may subsidize some of your home care needs. Since laws vary from state to state, you will need to contact your local Area Agency on Aging for more information con-

cerning government benefits. Skilled nursing care will be paid for by Medicare as long as it is determined to be “intermittent skilled care,” which includes occupational, respiratory, speech and physical therapy. To be covered, care must be ordered by a doctor. Individuals who meet income requirements may be eligible to receive skilled nursing services through Medicaid. Major medical health insurance will also cover a limited number of skilled home visits. Costs for these services vary greatly depending upon coverage by Medicare, Medicaid and private insurance. Contact your local Office on Aging or State Department of Health to find out if there are funds from social services block grants available to cover home care costs.

Individuals who meet income requirements may be eligible to receive skilled nursing services through Medicaid.

Resources find an elder law attorney utilize your resources and ask the right questions The most effective way to locate a qualified attorney is through a recommendation from a family member, friend, or an attorney you have consulted before and trust. The AARP (www. aarp.org/legalsolutions) and the state bar association (www.hg.org) offer impartial attorney recommendations. The National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (www.naela.org), a professional association of attorneys dedicated to improving the quality of legal services provided to the elderly, and the National Elder Law Foundation (www.nelf.org), a non-profit organization dedicated to the development and improvement of the professional competence of lawyers in this particular area, can both offer advice for finding a qualified elder law attorney. A referral from family or friends can

be a good resource so long as you ask more than how they liked the person. The attorney may have been a likeable person, but you should be more interested in how the case turned out. Once you have found an attorney that you are considering hiring, carefully and fully explain your legal problem so the attorney can provide an accurate estimate of the time that will be necessary to solve your problem. You will also want to inquire about the attorney’s certifications and memberships with professional organizations. Finally, be sure that you are clear on the specific costs. The questions below will help you to get the information you need before making a final decision: n What will it take to resolve this issue? n How long has the attorney been practicing?

What percentage of the attorney’s practice is devoted to this area of law? n How much experience does the attorney have with cases like yours? n How much elder law training has the attorney had, and from what organizations? n If a trial will be involved, does he/she do trial work? n Is your attorney a member of the local bar association? The National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys? n Is your attorney certified by the National Elder Law Foundation? n What additional out-of-pocket expenses will be incurred? n What is the estimate of the cost involved to resolve your problem? n
