Abstract:

Throughout the industrialized world—from the United States to Japan, from Scandinavia to Australia—the theme of cost containment dominates the discourse on health care. This issue is the offspring of successful past efforts to ensure all patients effective medical care. While many countries have groups with special health disadvantages, the great majority of people in the industrialized nations have access to modern medical care and make ready use of it. The problem now is its cost, as aging populations, increasing in number as the result of advanced techniques that are more effective in prolonging life, place considerable strains on health care budgets.

Abstract:

e19015 Background: Patients with advanced lung cancer historically have required significant use of health care resources including hospitalizations, ICU admissions and emergency room visits which are often related to inadequately controlled symptoms. Most patients with advanced lung cancer prefer to remain in their own home as much as possible and are willing to work with home nursing resources, if available. The purpose of this pilot study was to determine the effect of early use of home health care on health care utilization for patients with advanced lung cancer. Methods: Betweem May 2011 and May 2012, 18 patients were enrolled in a pilot program to explore early use of home care for individuals with advanced lung cancer. Inclusion criteria consisted of a diagnosis of stage III/IV lung cancer (any histology) and home care eligibility using Medicare criteria. The endpoints were hospitalization rate, number of ICU admissions and emergency room visits. The results were compared to an historical control group (562 patients with advanced lung cancer diagnosed between 2006 and 2011). Binomial confidence interval (CI) was used to estimate the 95% CIs and Fisher's exact test was used to assess the p-values. Results: Results at one year showed the hospitalization rates for the pilot group and the control group were 44% (95% CI, 22-69) and 78% (95% CI, 74-81), respectively (p<0.01) and the ER visit rate was 17% (95% CI, 4-41) and 41% (95% CI, 37-45), respectively (p=0.049). The ICU admission rates were 0% and 11% in the two groups, respectively, and this difference was not statistically significant. Home care visits ranged from 1-77 with an average of 12 visits per patient. The estimated cost of the home care program for the duration of enrollment was $2,330 per patient. Conclusions: Early use of home health care for patients with advanced lung cancer appears to reduce the rates of hospitalization and emergency room visits when compared with historical controls, and though the results were not statistically significant, none of the 18 patients in the pilot group were admitted to the ICU. A larger multi-institutional study will examine the potential of this simple intervention for cost saving, enhanced care quality and improved patient satisfaction.

Abstract:

Providing advanced health care at home rather than in a hospital creates a greater quality of life for patients and their families. It also lowers the risk of hospital-acquired infections and accelerates recovery. The overall cost of care per patient is decreased. Manual scheduling of patient visits by health care professionals (HCPs) has become a bottleneck for increased patient capacity at SABH, a ward providing advanced pediatric health care at home (“Sjukhusansluten Avancerad Barnsjukvård i Hemmet” in Swedish), since many parameters need to be taken into account during scheduling. This thesis aims to increase the efficiency of SABH’s daily scheduling of personnel and resources by designing an automated scheduler that constructs a daily schedule and incorporates changes in it when needed in order to remove scheduling as a limitation for increased patient capacity. Requirements on a feasible schedule are identified in cooperation with SABH and literature is investigated about similar areas where the scheduling process has been automated. The scheduling is formulated as a computerized problem and investigated from the perspective of theoretical computer science. We show that the scheduling problem is NP-hard and can therefore not be expected to be solved optimally. The algorithm for scheduling the visits minimizes violations of time windows and travel times, and maximizes person continuity and workload balancing. The algorithm constructs an initial solution that fulfills time constraints using a greedy approach and then uses local search, simulated annealing, and tabu search to iteratively improve the solution. We present an exact rescheduling algorithm that incorporates additional visits after the original schedule has been set. The scheduling algorithm was implemented and tested on real data from SABH. Although we found the algorithm to be efficient, automatic transfer of data from the patient journal system is an imperative for the scheduler to be adopted.
Barn som får avancerad sjukvård hemma istället för på sjukhus tillfrisknar ofta snabbare och risken för vårdrelaterade infektioner minskar. Barnen och deras familjer blir mer välmående av att få vistas i sin hemmiljö. På Astrid Lingrens barnsjukhus i Stockholm erbjuds avancerad hemsjukvård av avdelningen Sjukhusansluten Avancerad Barnsjukvård i Hemmet (SABH). För att schemalägga när patienterna ska besökas av sjukvårdspersonalen behöver många olika faktorer beaktas, detta sker idag helt manuellt. Den manuella schemaläggningen utgör en naturlig begränsning av SABHs patientkapacitet. Denna uppsats syftar till att effektivisera schemaläggningsprocessen hos SABH genom att föreslå en automatiserad lösning som hanterar koordinering av personal och resurser och dem förändringar som behöver göras i schemat under dagen, för att få bort schemaläggningsprocessen som ett hinder mot ökad patientkapacitet. Krav på schemaläggningen identifieras i diskussion med SABH och genom att studera litteratur kring liknande områden där schemaläggning lösts automatiserat. Vi formulerar schemaläggningen som ett datologiskt problem och analyserar det med utgångspunkt i teoretisk datalogi. Vi visar att problemet är NP-svårt och därför inte kan förväntas lösas optimalt inom rimlig tid. Vår lösning approximerar istället fram ett rimligt svar, där fokus hos algoritmen är att patienterna ska besökas de tider de behöver, personalens restider ska vara så korta som möjligt samtidigt som arbetsbördan hos personalen ska vara så lika fördelad som möjligt och patienterna ska, i den mån det är möjligt, få vård av samma personal. Med en girig algoritm konstrueras ett initialt schema som uppfyller de grundläggande kraven, detta schema förbättras med lokalsökning, simulated annealing och tabusökning. En exakt lösning framställs för uppdatering av schemat. Algoritmen för att lägga ett dagligt schema (utan uppdateringar) implementerades och testades med riktigt data från SABH. Vår algoritm visade sig vara effektiv, men för att kunna göra hela schemaläggningsprocessen effektiv behöver den integreras med journalsystemet.

Abstract:

The use of advanced medical technology at home has increased in most industrialized countries. The overall aim of this thesis was to develop knowledge of self-care and transition and issues that influence daily life and health among persons using advanced medical technology at home. Three qualitative studies were performed to describe the structure of self-care (I) and elucidate meanings of health-illness transition experiences among persons using long-term oxygen, or a ventila-tor, or performing blood or peritoneal dialysis (II), and to gain a deeper understanding of the meaning of living with an adult family member in this context (III). Ten interviews with adult patients (I-II) and ten with adult next of kin (III) in this context were performed and analysed with descriptive phenome-nological (I), phenomenological hermeneutical (II) and hermeneutical (III) methods. A quantitative, descriptive, comparative, cross-sectional design was used to describe and find factors that influence self-care agency and perceived health in a larger group of persons (180 patients) using the enumerated types of advanced medical technology at home (IV). In the results, (I) self-care among persons using long-term oxygen, a ventilator, or equipment for blood or peritoneal dialysis at home was described at a generic level, independent of the specific type of technology used. The general description of self-care in this context involved prerequisites for, activities for and consequences of self-care; (II) the health-illness transition among adult persons in this context was interpreted as contentment at being part of the active and conscious process towards transcending into a new state of living, in which the individual and the technology were in tune. The successful and healthy transition experience was characterized by human growth and becoming; (III) living with a family member who is using advanced medical technology at home was interpreted as meaning rhythmical patterns of being closely connected to but also separated from him or her, and of sorrow versus reconciliation. Dependence on others was reflected in a need for support from the healthcare professionals and significant others; (IV) health-related and technology-related variables in daily life were rated as satisfactory to quite a high extent, but participants using long-term oxygen perceived their health as significantly lower compared to the other technology groups. Further, a significant difference in sense of coherence was found between users of long-term oxygen and peri-toneal dialysis. Factors that contributed to self-care agency and sense of coherence were found. In conclusion, self-care in a high-tech home context means more than simply mastering the technology. With the goal of maintaining an active, social life, the health-illness transition involves a learning process of accepting and integrating the technology into daily life. With knowledge and support, patients and next of kin are able to assume substantial responsibility for self-care/dependent-care. Daily life seems to be manageable for patients using this kind of technology at home.

Abstract:

The purpose of this article is to synthesize the evidence on advance care planning (ACP), determine what is applicable to the home health (HH) setting, and find where gaps in knowledge may exist. An integrative review methodology was chosen. Although there is ample literature on the topic of ACP, most research has been conducted in the acute care, outpatient, and general community settings. There is limited literature regarding ACP with patients living with chronic cardiovascular and pulmonary illnesses, who comprise the majority of the HH population. Some literature has been published regarding the interprofessional team's role in ACP in the HH setting. A gap in knowledge exists regarding ACP in HH, and recommendations for future research are provided.

Abstract:

Aim. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship of advance care planning protocols with hospitalization, rehospitalization, and emergency department use rates in U. S. home health agencies (HHA). Background. Since 2003, CMS has required HHAs to report on quality outcomes such as hospitalization, rehospitalization, and emergency department use rates, made publicly available online. Advance care planning (ACP) is a conversation about beliefs, goals, values, future treatment choices, and designation of a surrogate decision-maker, that someone has in advance of a health crisis. Most existing studies on ACP have taken place outside of HHAs among populations with serious illnesses such as HIV/AIDS, cancer, dementia, and end stage renal disease. Meanwhile, the U.S. home health population is living longer with chronic conditions such as pulmonary and cardiovascular illnesses. Effective January 1, 2016, the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation implemented the Home Health Value-Based Purchasing (HHVBP) Model among home health agencies (HHAs) in nine states representing each geographic region in the United States. Agencies in these states began competing on value in the HHVBP model, and reimbursement rates began to be tied to quality performance (innovation.cms.gov). As part of HHVBP, CMS implemented an additional process-level mandate requiring them to report on ACP, though this data is not publicly available. It is currently unknown how ACP protocols in HHAs may affect agencies’ overall rates of acute care services use. Methods. Electronic surveys about ACP protocols were distributed to HHAs. Existing data about demographics, diagnoses, hospitalization, rehospitalization, and ED use were accessed online via CMS websites. Descriptive and regression analyses were conducted using the electronic survey results and the existing data. Results. Associations between the variables were observed and compared to the hypotheses. Statistical significance was found in the relationship between ACP protocols and hospitalization, where one increased the other increased. Several trends were found: Agencies with increased total percentage of cardiac and pulmonary diagnoses tended to have increased hospitalization rates; agencies with increased average age of patients tended to have increased ACPP scores; and agencies with increased proportion of Black patients tended to have higher hospitalization rates.

Abstract:

Purpose: Transitional care is an emerging model of health care designed to decrease preventable adverse events and associated utilization of healthcare through temporary follow-up after hospital discharge. This study describes the approach and outcomes of two transitional care programs: one is provided by masters-prepared clinical nurse specialists (CNS) with a chronic disease self-management focus, another by physicians specializing in palliative care (PPC). Existing research has shown that transitional care programs with intensive follow up reduce hospitalizations, emergency room visits, and costs. Few studies, however, have included side-by-side comparisons of the efficacy of transitional care programs varying by health care providers or program focus. Design: This is a retrospective cohort study comparing the number of Emergency Department (ED) visits and hospitalizations in the 120 days before and after the intervention for patients enrolled in each transitional care program. Each program included post-hospitalization home visits, but included difference in program focus (chronic disease vs. palliative), assessment and interventions, and population (rural vs. urban). Data from participants in the CNS program 9/2014 ' 12/2014 were analyzed (n=98). The average age of participants was 69 and they were 65% female. Data was collected from patients from the PC program from 9/2014 to 4/2015 (n=71). Thirty participants died within 120 days after the intervention and were excluded, the remaining 41 were included in the analysis. Participants had an average age of 81 and were 63% female. Methods: For the CNS program, a secondary analysis of existing data was performed. For the PC program, a review of patient charts was done to collect encounters data. A Wilcoxon Matched-Pair Signed-Rank test was performed to test for significance. Findings: Patients in the CNS intervention had significantly fewer ED visits (p Conclusions: Both transitional programs have value in decreasing health care utilization. The CNS intervention had a more significant effect on ED visits for their target population than the PC program. Further study with randomized control trails is needed to allow for a better understanding of the healthcare workforce best fitted to enhance transitional care outcomes. Future study to examine the cost savings of each of the interventions is also needed.

Abstract:

The number of individuals aged more than 65 years in the United States and their life expectancy has been increasing in the past decades. In spite of the presence of federal and accreditation policies recommending completion of advance directive documents by patients admitted to health care settings, advance directive completion rates are low in most health care organizations. The purpose of this study was to determine the level of advance directive completion among home health patients. The health belief model provided the theoretical framework that guided this study. A retrospective chart review was carried out in a home health agency with about 51 patients. Demographic details, including age, gender, ethnicity, nature of illness and type of health insurance were collected. Descriptive statistics were used to determine the percentage of home health patients with existing advance directives and those who do not have an advance directive. The study revealed that only 25% of the patients in the home health care agency had a completed advance directive. The finding indicate a disconnect between the recommended and the actual practice with regards to end of life issues. There is a pressing need for more complete documentation of the patient's desires and wishes regarding end of life care at home health care facilities. Documenting the patient's end of life preferences and wishes may potentially ease the decision-making process, making the end of life days less stressful for the patients and their families at the same time promoting the provision of personalized health care at the end of life.

Abstract:

Many advanced cancer patients receive intensive treatment near the end of life (EOL). Intensive treatment near the EOL is often associated with worse outcomes, such as worse quality of life (QOL), greater distress in patients and caregivers, and higher health care costs. For cancers typically unresponsive to chemotherapy such as lung and gastro-intestinal (GI), the side effects of intensive treatment are endured without increasing survival time. To date, research on EOL care in advanced cancer patients has focused on patient prognostic understanding, physician communication, and patient distress. These factors do not fully explain why many patients receive intensive treatment near the EOL when there is no hope for cure. Hence, there is a need to better understand the factors that influence EOL treatment in order to improve patient and caregiver outcomes. Self-Regulation Theory (SRT) provides a framework that may help explain motivations and care decisions in this population. This study had two aims: 1) to examine the associations between EOL clinical encounters (i.e., EOL conversations with a physician) and treatment intensity in advanced cancer patients near the EOL; and 2) to examine the associations between important SRT constructs (i.e., goal flexibility, hope, and optimism) and treatment intensity in advanced cancer patients near the EOL. A sample of 76 advanced lung and GI cancer patients was recruited from Indiana University Simon Cancer Center. Hope predicted receiving chemotherapy closer to death (β = -.41, t (66) = -2.31, p = .025), indicating more intensive treatment near EOL. Other predictor variables were not significantly associated with intensive treatment. Implications and methodological limitations are discussed.

Abstract:

Introduktion: Multisjuka patienter är individer med många sjukdomar och komplexa vårdbehov. För denna grupp är vikten av kontinuitet för att öka känslan av trygghet stor. Syfte med förbättringsarbetet: : Att skapa en trygg och möjlig ASIH-vård för multisjuka äldre genom att utveckla arbetssätt som möjliggör anslutning och en trygg utskrivning för multisjuka äldre. Syftet med studie av förbättringsarbetet: Att undersöka och analysera medarbetares gemensamma erfarenheter. Metod: Förbättringsarbetet genomfördes med stöd av Nolans förbättringsmodell. Studien av förbättringsarbetet genomfördes med en fallstudie med kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Resultat: Förbättringsarbetet resulterade i ett jämnt inflöde av remisser och kortare anslutningstid till ASIH. Patientens upplevelse av trygghet skattades i en enkät till 76%. Möjlighet till återanslutning till ASIH fick 7 patienter mellan 1-7 gånger under förbättringsprojektet. Studien av förbättringsarbetet sammanfattades i temat: ”Villkor för samverkan mot det gemensamma målet” då ett tydligt mönster framkom i fokusgruppsintervjuerna. Följande villkor sågs som betydelsefulla: kontinuitet, lärande, samarbete och kommunikation.. Diskussion: ASIH är en alternativ vårdform som kan bidra till att skapa trygghet och underlätta övergången till hemmet för gruppen multisjuka äldre. I bästa fall också minska behov av vård på akutsjukhus vid försämring. För att möjliggöra denna vård krävs återkoppling som skapar lärande genom tydliga mål och mätbara resultat.
Introduction: Patients with multiple illnesses are individuals with complex needs of care. For this group of patients, continuity of care and their sense of security is is of great importance. Improvement work objective: To create secure and accessible ASIH for elders with multiple illnesses by¨develop ways of working to enable re-admittance and secure discharges for this group of patients. Case study objective: To Investigate and analyze team members’ common experiences. Method: Implementation using Nolan’s improvement model. A case study using qualitative contents analysis. Result: The improvement work resulted in an even flow of referrals and shortened admission times to ASIH. Patients’ sense of security were rated to 76%. Seven Seven patients had the possibility towere be re-admitted 1-7 times 1-7 times during the project. Casestudy summary: ”Conditions for cooperationfor a common goal”. A clear pattern with the following significant conditions emerged from the focusgroups interviews: continuity, learning, cooperation, and communication. Discussion: ASIH can be an option to facilitate the transition home for elderly patients with multiple illnesses. ASIH provides a sense of security and may prevent re-hospitalization. This model of cooperation requires clear, common goals and opportunities for feedback to enable learning contributes to measurable results.

Full text

Abstract:

Within the framework of economic constraints and demographic changes which the health care sector is confronted to, the Home Health Care (HHC) which has been created sixty years ago, has known an important growth during this last decade. The main objective of this alternative to the traditional hospitalization consists in solving the problem of hospitals' capacity saturation by allowing earlier discharge of patients from hospital or by avoiding their admission while improving or maintaining the medical, psychological and social welfare of these patients. In this thesis, we are interested in the operations management within the HHC structures. In the first part of this thesis, we develop a qualitative analysis of the operations management in the HHC context. More specifically, we identify the complexity factors that operations management has to face up within this type of structures. For each complexity factor, we discuss how it can affect the organization of the care delivery. These factors pertain to the diversity of the services proposed, the location of care delivery, the uncertainty sources, etc. Thereafter, we survey operations management based models proposed in the literature within the HHC context. Based on this literature review, we identify several emerging issues, relevant from an organizational point of view, that have not been studied in the literature and thus represent unexplored opportunities for operations management researchers. In the second part of this thesis, we are interested in the partitioning of the area where the HCC structure operates into districts. This districting approach fits the policies of improvement of the quality of care delivered to patients and the working conditions of care givers as well as costs' reduction. We begin by proposing a classification of the different criteria that may be considered in the districting problem. We then propose two mathematical formulations for the HHC districting problem for which we consider criteria such as the workload balance, compactness, compatibility and indivisibility of basic units. After that, we present a numerical analysis of the computational experiments carried out on randomly generated instances to validate these two models. We also present two possible exploitations of these models and propose two extensions to these basic formulations. After formulating the problem with a static approach, we also develop a dynamic extension which allows the integration of the different variations that can be observed within the activities of an HHC structure from period to period. We then introduce a new partitioning criterion that concerns the continuity of care evaluated on the basis of two sub-criteria. Depending on the preferences of the decision-makers concerning the sub-criteria related to the continuity of care in the districting problem, we then distinguish three scenarios for which we propose the associated mathematical formulations.
