Improving community health Patient engagement Cost avoidance Recognizing the Need Increasing population with staggering health care needs Hospitals are being charged with finding ways to treat patients more efficiently and thereby decreasing length of stays and decreasing overall cost of care Patients are leaving hospitals earlier and bearing the burden of managing their health care needs at home No reimbursement for readmissions within 30 days. What’s Missing? Care Gaps Meeting criteria Working in silos What do patient’s want? Poor communication Lack of coordination Care Transitions Medication errors Non compliance due to social constraints Exacerbations of chronic illness Inability of patient/families to recognize and react to signs of acute illness Handoffs Who are our high risk patients? Readmissions Low health literacy High users of emergency department Frequent hospital admissions Frequent clinic visits for social needs Multiple chronic diseases Impact of Health Literacy Limited health literacy skills are associated with an increase in preventable emergency room visits and hospital admissions 33-69% of medication related hospitalizations were due to poor adherence Though shared decision-making is associated with improved outcomes, only 9% of patients actually participate in decisions. 50% of patients leave visits not understanding what their provider has told them.
