EDITORIAL How are we affecting the community we serve
Chicago is a world class city that carries with it an impressive history of population health based initiatives. Declines in morbidity and mortality during the 20th century resulted in large part from effective health promotion and disease prevention programs. With the passage of the Affordable Care Act in 2010 there is increased emphasis on health systems developing models of care that improve quality of care, outcomes and efficiency. The University of Illinois Hospital and Health Sciences System (UI Health) is a patient centered organization. Providing safe, high-quality and cost-effective care for our patients is our foremost responsibility. The care of our patients and their families will always be at the heart of our mission. The PHSP was developed in 2011 to provide enterprise level oversight for the development, testing and implementation of care models that achieve the triple aim of improved quality, better outcomes and lower cost. https://breathe.uic.edu breathe@uic.edu 1-855-I-WHEEZE

Determination of Health Population Resources and expertise within health care systems.
Resources and expertise typically external to health systems. Require Universitylevel engagement to identify internal and external partners.
POPULATION HEALTH
Population health is about right sizing care to the individual needs to promote wellness and health.

Example of one high-risk, high-cost patient Limited socioeconomic resources contribute to high readmission rates at minority serving institutions (MSIs). A better understanding of patient- level factors and need for patient navigators could inform approaches to enhance care transitions tailored to these vulnerable patient populations. This is the story of a 59 year old woman who was admitted to UI Health six times over the course of one year for treatment of a congestive heart failure exacerbation. She had a history of missing follow up appointments and non-adherence to diet and medications documented in her electronic health record.
Underlying Problems Following intervention by a Patient Navigator, the patient was found to have drug addiction initiated by significant grief following the loss of her spouse after 21 years of marriage. She had no social support, no telephone due to lack of funds and no transportation to attend her medical appointments.

Population Health Sciences Program Projects UICAN - Place Holder
Warfarin Pharmacogenetics Service Funding: UI Health Description: In August 2012, UI Health became the first hospital in the nation to implement a warfarin pharmacogenetics service to provide genotype-guided warfarin dosing and anticoagulation assistance for all patients newly starting warfarin while hospitalized at UI Health. The goal was to reduce time to therapeutic INR and decrease the number of patients with excessively high warfarin levels by better estimating warfarin dose through genetic testing. The new genetic testing program, part of UI Health's Personalized Medicine Program showed reduced complications and improved patient safety — with significant cost savings — over its first 16 months in operation.

POPULATION HEALTH
UNiversity of Illinois Survey On Neighborhood Health (UNISON) Funding: UI Health
Description: An in-person community health needs assessment of 1400 individuals that live in 24 community areas served by UI Health. This scientifically rigorous examination collects patientreported information about health behaviors, health care access and utilization, prevalence of disease conditions, quality of life indicators, and knowledge of the Affordable Care Act and basic biometric screenings. The goal is to understand the health needs of the diverse community served by the UI Health System and to use this information to improve health care for those who need it the most.
PATient Navigator to rEduce Readmissions (PArTNER) Funding: PCORI contract # IH-12-11-4365 Award: $1,973,706 Description: The study focuses on developing and testing a program that combines a community health worker (lay patient advocate, acting as a “Patient Navigator�) and a peer-led telephone support line to increase social support, improve self-efficacy and postdischarge acute care use. The goals of PArTNER are: 1. Provide a patient-centered intervention tailored to the needs of the patients and caregivers we serve, with community health workers and telephone-based peer support. 2. Improve the patient and caregiver experience during transitions out of the hospital 3. Increase social support, reduce anxiety, and reduce avoidable hospital readmissions.

PHSP PROJECTS
Comparative effectiveness of a PEer-Led O2 Infoline for patients and Caregivers (PELICAn) Funding: PCORI contract # CE-1304-6490 Award: $1,981,913
Description: We have developed a broad-based collaboration with patients/caregivers, advocacy groups, and a national O2 supplier with the goals of: (1) engaging patients and caregivers to identify gaps in knowledge, self-management skills; and (2) testing effectiveness of PELICAN as a proactive intervention (peer coaches contact and deliver intervention) vs. reactive intervention (peer coaches deliver intervention when contacted) vs. usual care. The goal is to test whether a patient-centered PEer-Led o2 Info-line for patients and CAregivers (PELICAn) will increase adherence and improve health.

Emergency Patient Interdisciplinary Care for Frequent ER Visitors (EPIC) Funding: UI Health Description: This innovative initiative developed individualized health management programs for Medicaid patients who were frequent visitors to the emergency room. The EPIC team worked with patients to create a 1-3 month transitional care program that helped patients learn what to do to manage their health, which providers they needed to see and how often, and other resources were available. The goal was to enhance quality of care, improve health outcomes, and lower Illinois Medicaid costs by reducing ER visits and hospitalizations. The EPIC project has evolved into the teams that will support patients in the Clinical Decision Unit (CDU) at UI Hospital.

The Coordinated Healthcare Interventions for Childhood Asthma Gaps in Outcomes (CHICAGO) Trial Funding: PCORI contract # AS-1307-05420 Award: $3,999,823 Description: The CHICAGO Trial is a collaborative effort between 13 Chicago based institutions, including the University of Illinois Hospital & Sciences System, Sinai Health System, Rush University Medical Center, Lurie Children’s Hospital, University of Chicago, Northwestern University, Chicago Department of Public Health, Respiratory Health Association, Chicago Asthma Consortium, NorthShore University Health System, and the Illinois Institute of Technology. This broad-based collaborative, including caregivers, patient advocacy groups, public health officers, and patient-centered outcomes researchers is dedicated to eliminating asthma health disparities. Drawing on collaborations that span nearly two decades, we propose studies testing both provider- and patient-level interventions to improve clinically meaningful outcomes in a minority pediatric ED population with uncontrolled asthma. The goal is to improve outcomes in minority children with uncontrolled asthma, through provider and patient-level interventions.

PHSP PROJECTS Coordination of Healthcare for Complex Kids (CHECK) Funding: Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services – Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (Van Voorhees, Department of Pediatrics, Principal Investigator). Award: $19,581,403 Description: A previous version of this project received a proposal development award from UI Health Population Health Sciences Program. It was then submitted to CMS-CMMI and funded. This new medical care model is designed to manage the healthcare of over 6,000 children in Cook County with complex medical issues like asthma, depression, diabetes and sickle cell. CHECK uses a "medical neighborhood" model where a primary care provider acts as the main coordinator of care for the patient. Employing a holistic approach and a focus on preemptive care, CHECK connects patients and families to primary care doctors, specialists, mental health clinicians and other health professionals to better manage the delivery of care with the goal of reducing hospitalizations, ER visits and missed school days for children with these chronic conditions. CHECK will deliver care through a network of 40 primary care sites around Chicago that includes UI Health and the Mile Square Health Centers as well as other Federally Qualified Health Centers in the city. The CHECK program along with UI Health Plus Managed Medicaid program provides new models of care for meeting the healthcare needs of the communities we serve in the midst of the changing environment of healthcare. Bringing Care to Patients: A Patient-Centered Medical Home for Kidney Disease Funding: PCORI contract # IH-12-11-5420 Award: $2,093,521 Description: A previous version of this project received a proposal development award from UI Health Population Health Sciences. It was then submitted to the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute and awarded. The purpose of this project is to compare a patient-centered medical home model of care with the usual care of end-stage renal disease patients and their caregivers. Model is to be implemented at the UI Health dialysis center and a local Fresenius Medical Care dialysis center. Patients receiving dialysis at participating centers will receive an initial comprehensive care visit followed by ongoing care from a multispecialty provider team during the patients’ regularly scheduled dialysis visits. Each patient’s care team will include a kidney doctor, a primary care doctor, an advanced practice nurse, a dialysis nurse, a dietician, a pharmacist, a social worker, and a health promoter.

March 2012, 2542 sq ft. space yielded to CCTS/CRC
With the temporary space allocation, we were able to meet a fraction of the program's needs. On 2012, 2542 sq ft were allocated for PHS & BCC's use. The same year we expanded to an additional 2093 sq ft; and by the end of 2014 we added an additional 1200 sq ft.
-----
Sept. 2011, 4635 sq ft. Space allocated to PHS/BCC (cost for renovation, furniture, laboratory, electronics, $433,575)
Legend
In 2011 temporary space was offered to the Population Health Sciences Program in the South tower of the Neuropsychiatric Institute (NPI) building. This was shared space with the Clinical Research Center. In 2014 the College of Medicine Dean and the Department of Neurosurgery graciously offered temporary expansion space in the North tower of the NPI building to meet the needs of a growing PHS Program. Though this space helped the program, it still left us forty percent short on space for our fulltime staff.
