Agenda• Overview and background
• Describe how the new Admission/Discharge/Transfer electronic notification capability, which is part of our Health Information Exchange, is transforming our model of care
• Describe the technology in place and configuration requirements
• Explain Why data transformation required efforts outside of testing
• Outline the transformation of case management workflow

Learning Objectives• Describe the transformation of transitions of care management
• Define the Community Care Model and HIE implementation steps
• Summarize the improvement of care management practice
• State the value of admissions, discharge, and transfer (ADT) real-time information integration
• Outline the technology elevating the practice of care coordination

Care Coordination Problems• Delays in receiving patient admission and discharge information from
hospitals
• Discrepancies in hospitalization data from manual tracking
• Increases in readmission rates
• Multitudes of healthcare systems in Minnesota
![Page 6: Improving Patient Health Through Real-Time ADT Integration](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052609/628d9421d6dcb06f077a1762/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

A Key Technology Solution• Integrate real-time admissions discharge and transfer (ADT) data
from our health information exchange (HIE) into the care management platform to improve care transition coordination and management by:
– Automating timely notifications to care managers when members are admitted to and discharged from hospitals; and
– Enabling proactive discharge planning hopefully leading to readmission reduction.
• In this presentation, we share our experience on how we achieved this.

Background
• County-based purchasing managed care organization
• Over 40,000 members across the 12 counties
• Six lines of business
• Four lines of Medicaid
• Two lines are Medicare Advantage Special Needs Plans – FIDE SNPs
• In 2012, there were about 130 hospitals in Minnesota (85 affiliated; 17 different affiliations)

Transformations of Care Management• Minnesota adopted a free market approach to health information exchange
• Transitioned the Complex Case Management program in-house
• Implemented a new care management system with an interoperability platform
• Leveraged the data in our HIE and integrated into our care management system
– ADT HL7 message set (standardized messages)
– Data contributor was a healthcare system in Minnesota that has 16 hospitals and 65 clinics

Value of Admission/Discharge/Transfer Information Integration
• Improve health outcomes
• Timely interdisciplinary care team engagementProactive Care
• Enhance provider collaboration
• Improve communicationMeaningful Use
• Decrease hospital readmissions and length of stayLower Costs
• Notifications how, when, and where you want them
• Reduce duplication or manual processes
Increase Productivity

HIE Implementation Steps
• Model will be designed based upon the needs of the community.
• Incorporate ALL providers in the community including pharmacies, home care, dental, etc.
• Identify datasets to support community goals – ADT, CDA/CCD, Population Health Analytics, etc.

– Supports Inpatient Hospitalizations, ED Visits, and Outpatient Encounters
• Care Management Platform
– API to Route Data out of HIE into Care Management System
– Queue and Task Type used as Triggers for Case Managers
– Structured Note to store Encounter Details

• Medical/Surgical Admissions = 4,777
• Discharges = 5179
• Pre-Admission Notifications = 153
• Mental Health/CD Admissions = 899

TOO MUCH TIME

Current State Hospitalization Process
Hospital manually tracks and sends
admission and discharge notification to medical claim TPA
TPA manually data enters patient
information in a tracking spreadsheet and emails to payer
Payer UM department manually creates an encounter note and a task for
case manager
Care transition contact with member
Document follow-up with member

Future State – HospitalizationNotification and Follow-up Task and Structured Note created
ADT alert is triggered in real-time as the provider is entering the data into their own EHR system.
Structured Note
API translates codes from the HL7 ADT message into the fields on the note screen. Viewed in member’s profile.
Follow-up task
Task generated by API and can be claimed by internal staff or county care coordinator to call member.

Future State Results• Access to a broader data set of real-time clinical events, including
Emergency Room and Ambulatory admissions.
• Better admit-discharge reconciliation from Patient MRN matching in HIE
• Redirect FTE time to other projects that was previously spent on documentation
• Access to additional patient demographic information for more informed follow-up calls

What Does Success Look Like
“I called one of the members in my case load after receiving a second ER notification in two weeks. The member reported the ER usage was due to not having transportation to their primary care appointment. Transportation is a Medicaid-covered benefit, so we were able to coordinate a ride with a transportation provider to their next appointment.”
