What is our BIG picture?



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.

What are health coaches?


most comfortable and in control
