How to improve HF/AMI measures &
outcomes?
How to improve HF/AMI measures?
• Treating all present health issues
• Make sure well compensated when DC
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Education during hospital stay- Patient should be familiar &
competent with:
Condition
Medication
Symptom Management
Life style change
Importance of follow-up ( to prevent no show)
Proper Documentation of Guideline therapy
• or explicit contraindication
– i.e. ACE & ARB contraindicated at this time due to worsening renal function
– i.e. Not on anticoagulation for A. Fib due to active GI bleeding
•
24
Proper Documentation of conditions & procedures
• as it affect Coding
How to improve HF/AMI measures?
• Use Disease Specific Order Set
• Proper Discharge
– Medication Reconciliation
– All needed components are on Discharge instructions
– The discharge summary document must contain
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
25
Provider contact information
Discharge date
Discharge Diagnosis
Updated summary of the patient’s hospitalization.
Pending labs, test and imaging
Other follow-up issues for next provider
Complete set of discharge instructions
Discharge Process
• Proper transition of care
– Early follow-up (7 days post dc with PCP & needed specialties)
• Give Date & time of appointment before discharge
– Prompt transfer of hospitalization information
• to PCP or to next care provider
– Access to care and medication
– Refer to Home Health, Cardiac Rehab, Telemonitoring
– Refer to free UCI Patient education classes.
• HF, Heart Diet, DM, HTN
• The discharge summary creates the Discharge
instructions
• Be certain the nurse provides the patients with the FINAL version
• must notify nurse if there are any last minute changes
• Go over the instructions with the patient/family
• Fax/e-fax/mail discharge summary to the next care provider

The importance of
Clinical Documentation
Why should we care?
Documentation drives:
• The levels of coding, billing and reimbursement
• Measure Compliance
• Severity of Illness (SOI) and Risk of Mortality (ROM)
• Measures by which healthcare organizations & healthcare providers are
evaluated and ranked
• Stay competitive in the market
• Insurance Companies’ Contracting
• General public shopping for care
•
Due to trend of greater transparency & availability of clinical performance
data, on internet websites (e.g. Healthgrades, hospital compare)
• Prevention of random audits by the government
• and serves to support the care provided by a healthcare provider in such
an event
31
• Reduce liability in the event of legal action

Documentation
ICD Code
DRG (Diagnosis-Related Group)
Severity adjusted DRG
Severity of illness & Mortality data
Observed mortality
Expected mortality
(From severity adjusted DRGs)
Outcomes + Accurate Documentation = Quality
34
What is a DRG and how does it work?
• Identifies the "products" that a hospital provides
• DRGs have been used in the US since 1982 to determine how
much Medicare pays/reimburses the hospital for each "product“
• It is similar to a known recipe:
• Each DRG has a relative cost weight & expected LOS
35
DRGs
• DRGs that are associated with a higher frequency of mortality
are frequently under documented in regard to severity of
illness
• i.e. heart failure, pneumonias, urinary tract infections, & malignancies
• Example:
• Patients have who that have respiratory failure and cardiac arrest
•
Most go into Hypotensive shock and have com. respiratory failure
• So if would document these
•
•
it would change the MS-DRG
and improve predicted mortality measures
Inherently, the MSDRG system penalizes rushed documentation
36
SOI, ROM, CC & MCC
• Every patient we treat  get assigned a SOI & ROM rate based
on the documentation between 1 and 4 .
-1: Minor - 2: Moderate -3: Major -4: Extreme
• Secondary Diagnosis Coding Rule and impacts:
• DRG Assignment, Severity of Illness/Risk of Mortality Reporting; and
Organization and Physician Profiling, evaluation and ranking.
• Documentation of Diagnosis with severity (Acute, Acute on
Chronic or chronic) instead of signs and symptom
• assist with CC/MCC, SOI & ROM
• Important to document in detail the CCs
• All co-morbidities (Condition present on admission)
• All complications (Condition that develop after admission)
37
Cardiac Diagnosis

Respiratory Diagnoses
(Dx with** are not counted if patient expires)

Case Example 55 y/o female LOS 11 days - expired

When ≥ 3 different organs are affected  start to see MCC

3MMS DRG 285 AMI, expired w/o CC/MCC
Dx suggestion to consider
M= Affect DRG
42
S=Affect Severity
R=Affect Mortality
MSDRG are assigned a mortality risk model
• Using specific variable descriptions
• The mortality is than calculated and give us:
• our expected morality rate versus actual observe mortality
• The goal is to have high expected rate for low observe rate
• This rate is used in our data and benchmarking

Documentation correction
Patient chart documentation improvement that affects SOI & ROM:
 Pleural effusion only (would affect SOI)
 Add Acute Diastolic Heart Failure (would give it a CC, and affect DRG, SOI & ROM)
 Intubated
 Instead on a mechanical ventilator (would give it a MCC)
 Fluid overload & Hyperkalemia
 Instead Fluid & Electr Disorders (hyperkalemia) (would affect ROM)
Also to affect DRG, SOI &ROM Prior to arrest could document:
 Com Respiratory failure
 Hypotension shock
 Coma

Documentation & coding
• Coders are limited in what they can code
• They are not allowed to “interpret”
•
i.e. Hgb 5.0 ≠ to anemia
•
•
•
•
Document anemia with specific type, acuity & cause
V Fib, Chest compression, defibtillation, epi …≠ Cardiac arrest/Code
Bacteriemia ≠ sepsis
No response no noxious stimuli ≠ Coma
• Document suspicions to the highest degree known
• Fail documentation often happen when unable to obtain a test
or specimen
• Document what the treatment is based on the clinical picture
•
•
49
I.e “Suspect G-pneumonia, ….Rx.. given, as unable to obtain a sputum
specimen.”
Do not under-state discharge diagnoses
Heart Failure Documentation
• r/o differential diagnosis if n/a anymore
• i.e. COPS vs HF VS PN. HF is or is no longer the differential
diagnosis for SOB/Volume Overload
• “Likely”= possible coding of that condition
• Determine if it is Right or Left Heart Failure
• RHF = gets coded as 428.00 Unspecified HF , no code exist
•
•
50
for RHF
Document cause of RHF i.e. RHF 2/2 Cor Pulmonale
iF RHF alone need to meet all measures
Heart Failure Documentation
• Specify to type
• Combine Systolic and Diastolic
• Diastolic
• Systolic
• Do not use systolic alone. Patients with systolic HF also
have diastolic HF
• Specify the acuity
• Acute
• Chronic
• Acute on Chronic most acute HF patients
• Specify the etiology/cause if available (…HF 2/2…)
• Ischemic, Afib, HTN, Valvular,…
51
Heart Failure Specificity
•
If the type is not document event if acuity is
•  It gets coded as 428.00 Unspecified HF
• i.e. Acute HF = 428.00 Unspecified HF
•
A documented EF is not a diagnosis of HF
• EF 30% ≠ not coded as systolic
•
CHF exacerbation ≠ not coded as acute
•
428.00 Unspecified HF ≠ do not count as a comorbidity
•
New HF definition such as HFpEF, HFreF ≠ not coded
•
Example proper documentation:
• Chronic Systolic LV dysfunction 2/2 Ischemic Cardiomyopathy
• Acute Diastolic LV dysfunction 2/2 Afib with RVR
• Acute on Chronic Systolic LV dysfunction medication noncompliance
• Right Heart Failure d/t acute Pulmonary HTN 2/2 Cor Pulmonale
52
ACS/AMI-Severity issues
• Consist of 3 major clinical entities in a continuum
• Unstable angina
• NSTEMI
• STEMI
• Caution with documentation of:
•
•
•
ACS alone = gets coded as UA
MI type 2 demand ischemia  gets coded as generic AMI (so needs to meet guidelines)
Otherwise to not document MI. Only Elevated troponin, demand ischemia 2/2….
• Severity issues
53
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Identify new LBBB
Location of MI
Identify cardiogenic shock
Identify acute or chronic systolic HF when it is present
Hypotension ≠ not codable as cardiogenic shock
Low BP is not cardiogenic shock
Multi organ failure ≠ not codable
STEMI & PCI documentation
•
If LBBB, Document if new or old.
• If NEW = STEMI (needs to meet all AMI Measures)
•
Document clearly if 1st ECG is STEMI or NSTEMI
– Be consistent through-out the chart
•
If PCI delay document:” PCI delay due to…”

Pt wished to delay/wait before starting PCI (initially withheld consent)
Emergent testing required prior PCI

Summary
• Documentation become our data
• key measure of performance
• Correct documentation is critical to improving performance
• It allows you to see where actual problems lie
• Diagnostic statements must be explicitly stated
• Symptoms, orders, treatments, X-ray evidence does not replace a
diagnosis
• Benchmarking allows to compare performance against the
expected averages
