Objectives Compare different models for training in
care transitions Know the key elements that could be
included in a care transitions curriculum, and individualize these to different types of learners
Apply appropriate outcomes metrics to measure the success of their care transitions curricula.

A Case You are a member of a ward team caring
for an 83-year-old male patient with multiple problems, admitted with CHF exacerbation. You diurese him well with IV furosemide, and in five days, he appears euvolemic and ready for discharge.
The resident manages discharge plan, writing prescriptions and talking to patient
![Page 6: Planning a care transitions curriculum](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062521/5681674a550346895ddbfb60/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Part #2 Within ten days, your team is notified
that the patient is readmitted to the hospital with another CHF exacerbation, and is back on the team. The patient says he was confused about medications and did not take his diuretic.

Questions Could this have been preventable?
Could this have been prevented by better hospital procedures? Or do the housestaff require better training?
What could be done to train housestaff better?

Care Transitions – Why do we care?
Nearly 20% of Medicare patients readmitted to hospital within a month (Jencks et al., N Engl J Med 2009)
Patients are frequently confused and dissatisfied by the discharge process
Communication between hospitalists and PCPs is infrequent (Kripalani et al., JAMA 2007)
![Page 9: Planning a care transitions curriculum](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062521/5681674a550346895ddbfb60/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Models Shown to Work Care Transitions
Intervention – Coleman Centered on patient self-
empowerment. Has four pillars: Medication self-
management Patient-centered discharge
record Follow-up Red flags
Significantly reduced rehospitalization (Coleman et al., Arch Int Med 2006)
Naylor model – Univ. of Pennsylvania High-risk elders with
multiple chronic problems
Intervention NPs meet pts in hospital
and follow up with patients and providers
Reduced readmissions, days in hospital (Naylor et al., JAMA, 1999)

The Training Imperative Care transitions haven’t traditionally
been part of medical education/training Growing awareness of need to improve
care transitions outcomes Evidence exists for some clinical
models… but what about training doctors to do transitions better?
![Page 11: Planning a care transitions curriculum](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062521/5681674a550346895ddbfb60/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
AAMC Medical Student Geriatric Competencies
Developed in 2007 Eight different content areas (e.g., med
management, cognitive disorders) Related to transitions:
#25: communicate the key components of a discharge plan
#13: Identify and assess safety risks in the home environment, and make recommendations to mitigate these
![Page 12: Planning a care transitions curriculum](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062521/5681674a550346895ddbfb60/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
2010 Health Care Law
![Page 13: Planning a care transitions curriculum](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062521/5681674a550346895ddbfb60/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act
Starting in 2012, will reduce payments to hospitals to account for preventable readmissions
Promotes the growth of accountable care organizations (ACOs) by letting them share in cost savings
Pilot program for bundled payments across continuum of care
![Page 14: Planning a care transitions curriculum](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062521/5681674a550346895ddbfb60/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Community Based Care Transitions Program
Also part of the 2010 ACA Provides funding to test models to
improve care transitions for older patients
Joins: Hospitals with high readmission rates Community Based Organizations
![Page 15: Planning a care transitions curriculum](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062521/5681674a550346895ddbfb60/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
A Growing Field Growing awareness of need to improve
care transitions outcomes Care transitions haven’t traditionally
been part of medical education/training Evidence exists for changing systems…
but what about training doctors to do transitions better?
Large organizations stepping into void
![Page 16: Planning a care transitions curriculum](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062521/5681674a550346895ddbfb60/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Training in Care Transitions
![Page 17: Planning a care transitions curriculum](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062521/5681674a550346895ddbfb60/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Issues to Explore What learners to train?
Settings?
How to involve interprofessional teams?
What do we know about effectiveness?
![Page 18: Planning a care transitions curriculum](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062521/5681674a550346895ddbfb60/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Challenges in “Comparative Effectiveness” in Education
Most of what’s innovative is not published
Our best teachers and curriculum designers aren’t necessarily researchers
“Gold standard” research models can seldom be applied
![Page 19: Planning a care transitions curriculum](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062521/5681674a550346895ddbfb60/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Systematic Review “A Systematic Review of
Curricular Interventions Teaching Transitional Care to Physicians-in-Training and Physicians”
Buchanan and Besdine, Acad Med 2011
Analyzed interventions between 1973 and 2010
Ultimately, found 25 unique interventions
![Page 20: Planning a care transitions curriculum](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062521/5681674a550346895ddbfb60/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Study Highlights Participants:
63% involved 3rd and 4th year medical students
53% involved residents 16% involved interprofessional members
Vast majority involved brief, self-limited interventions
74% were in the classroom Only 37% assessed learner-perceived
benefit
![Page 21: Planning a care transitions curriculum](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062521/5681674a550346895ddbfb60/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
How to Approach a Curriculum
![Page 22: Planning a care transitions curriculum](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062521/5681674a550346895ddbfb60/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Items to Consider when Thinking about Your Curriculum
Learning Objectives Learner Groups Setting Stakeholders to
engage Possible challenges Evaluation
![Page 23: Planning a care transitions curriculum](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062521/5681674a550346895ddbfb60/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Learning Objectives Care transitions education is very likely
to be skills based --- less knowledge based
Craft active learning objectives: What skill do you want your learners to
have after they’re done with your curriculum? Perform medication reconciliation? Communicate with families? Dictate discharge summaries?
![Page 24: Planning a care transitions curriculum](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062521/5681674a550346895ddbfb60/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Learner Groups Medical students Medical residents Interdisciplinary?
The skill sets you are trying to create will be very different
![Page 25: Planning a care transitions curriculum](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062521/5681674a550346895ddbfb60/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Setting Classroom Small group Hospital Home care Skilled nursing facilities
![Page 26: Planning a care transitions curriculum](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062521/5681674a550346895ddbfb60/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Stakeholders to engage Rotation director Residency program
director If interdisciplinary:
Who runs training for nursing, PT, etc?
May be an opportunity to perform some needs assessment
![Page 27: Planning a care transitions curriculum](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062521/5681674a550346895ddbfb60/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Possible Challenges We’ll discuss this in small groups and in
final presentations
![Page 28: Planning a care transitions curriculum](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062521/5681674a550346895ddbfb60/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Evaluation Very important to know what is/isn’t
working in curriculum Important to turn your work into
scholarship Possible measures:
Satisfaction Knowledge assessment Direct measurement of skills Proxy measurements (confidence in skills)

What Comes Next We’ll meet in three groups You’ll use a template to come up with a
plan for designing a curriculum Share it with your group
