Observation Unit Stress Imaging to
Manage Patients with Intermediate
to High Risk Acute Chest Pain
Objective
To reorganize existing resources to deliver care in
a way that reduces hospital readmissions among
patients with intermediate to high-risk chest pain.
Wake Forest Baptist Health
Vashi et al. JAMA 2013

Wake Forest Baptist Health
A possible solution: Observation Unit –
Stress Imaging Care Pathway
• Highly efficient units driven by care algorithms, staffed by
midlevel providers
− Efficient and cost effective in low risk patients
ACC/AHA:
Class I recommendation endorses OU care
Institute of Medicine:
“…clinical decision units reduce boarding
and diversion, avoid expensive
hospitalization, and appear to contribute to
improved management ...”
ACC / AHA NSTE ACS guidelines: Anderson et
al. Circulation 2007;
Wake Forest Baptist Health
Higher risk = high complexity
High risk
Higher complexity = higher
readmission rate
• 25-40% with pre-existing CAD (1-3)
•Perceived complexity inhibits
development of care algorithms
Is OU care an alternative to
inpatient care?
•Cost?
•Event rates after discharge?
•Readmission rates?
Intermediate
risk
Lower complexity:
•Care easily integrated into
care algorithm

Summary
• OU care with perfusion imaging at Wake
Forest:
− reduces cost, readmissions, and revascularization
procedures
• Death and MI
− Very low rates with either strategy
• Leverages and reorganizes existing resources
to achieve these benefits
Wake Forest Baptist Health
Future directions and opportunities
• Implementation:
− Can benefits observed in single center trials be
achieved in a multi-center setting?
• Implementation study with outcome surveillance
− Are results dependent on using cardiac MRI as the
imaging modality?
• How can we remove barriers so we can
organize EMRs to automate data capture and
outcome surveillance across medical centers?
Wake Forest Baptist Health
Musculoskeletal Emergency Center
• Development of an integrated practice
unit (IPU).
• Replace physician-centric processes with
patient-centric ones
• Decrease the distance between patient
and final decision-maker.
• Prospective database to monitor clinical
outcomes.
• “Maximize Value. Optimize Education.”
Wake Forest Baptist Health
Areas for Multicenter Collaboration
• Develop evidence-based clinical
practice guidelines
• Develop competencies and
standardized education for the new
field of Musculoskeletal Emergency
Medicine
• Enhance understanding of
operational efficiency and timedriven activity based costing
• Multicenter prospective database
• Create best practices in this field

Within our sub-population, the costliest 5% of enrollees account for 48% of
total cost of care, while the costliest 20% account for 85% of total cost*
•Based on retrospective chart review and analysis of 307 dual eligibles with UAHN Health Plan coverage and
assigned to primary care with a UA Health Network provider (Goel, et al, 2011)
THE CARE MODEL USES MULTIPLE EVIDENCE
SUPPORTED STRATEGIES
• Interprofessional team-based care
• “Home-based Primary Care” for ~ 45 most complex and
homebound (with telehealth)
• Case management and telehealth for rest of cohort, in
collaboration with primary care providers
• Medication Reconciliation
• Integrated behavioral health/physical health care
management
• Patient Engagement and Shared Decision Making
26
HEALTHY TOGETHER CARE PARTNERSHIP
– Delivery System/Health Plan Partnership designed to
reduce utilization in a high risk/high utilizing population
– Targeted utilization reduction in population
• Decreased ED Utilization
• Decreased Cost of Admissions
• Decreased Readmission Rate
• Decreased Med Cost by Pharmacy Review
– Net savings if targets achieved: $1.5 Million
Good News
• Primary goals of the program include cost savings, improved quality
and satisfaction with care, blended physical and behavioral health,
development of individualized strategies to manage at-risk
patients, and development of best practices for dual eligible patients
in SNP community care settings.
Bad News
• 18 months later the project had still not started!
– Overcoming Academic Medical Center Inertia: Building an Innovative
Dual Eligible Service Line
Great News!
• Project now fully launched and first 4 patients enrolled last week!

Organizational Complexity
Clinical Cost Structures
Training Expectations
Credentialing and Privileging of NPs
Employment/supervision of NPs, SWs and RNs
Who Provides Space and Infrastructure
Non-integrated Information System
Coding and Compliance Issues
LONG TERM PLANS
• Eventual development of a stand-alone product that would provide
coverage to the entire population of dual-eligible SNP patients resulting
in reduced costs and better outcomes (e.g., lower hospitalization rates,
better medication compliance, improved morbidity and mortality)
-Year 1: Dual-eligible patients in UAHN care (n=345), starting with
highest-cost stratum, and rolling additional services out to remaining
patients in lower-cost stratum.
-Year 2: Expand to include SNP patients in Pima County
-Year 3: Expand to include remainder of SNP
• Savings realized through better care of high-cost stratum would be the
basis of funding novel programs for the entire SNP population

Problems with Linear Translation
• T1  T2
– 17 years from basic discovery to clear evidence from
clinical trials
Contopoulos-Ioannidis et al. Science 321:1298-99
• T2  T3
– 10 years for widespread guideline implementation
• Linear approach to translation creates excessive lag
in evidence implementation

Adapted from Lavis et al, 2006
Technical Problems vs. Adaptive Challenges
(from Ronald Heifetz and Marty Linsky, “Leadership on the Line”)
“The single biggest failure of leadership is to treat adaptive challenges like technical problems”
Technical Problems
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
Easy to identify
Often lend themselves to quick
and easy (cut-and-dried)
solutions
Often can be solved by an
authority or expert
Require change in just one or a
few places; often contained
within organizational
boundaries
People are generally receptive
to technical solutions
Solutions can often be
implemented quickly-even by
edict
Petersen AAMC Webinar
Adaptive Challenges
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
Difficult to identify (easy to
deny)
Require changes in values,
beliefs, roles, relationships, &
approaches to work
People with the problem do the
work of solving it
Require change in numerous
places; usually cross
organizational boundaries
People often resist even
acknowledging adaptive
challenges
“Solutions” require experiments
and new discoveries; they can
take a long time to implement
and cannot be implemented by
edict
Examples from Health Care
Technical Problems
1.
2.
3.
4.
Implement electronic ordering
and dispensing of medications
in hospitals to reduce errors and
drug interactions
Improve availability of hand
sanitizer
Create workflow and structure
to deal with low risk chest pain
patients in the ED
What are the appropriate peer
facilities for quality and
efficiency comparisons
(Partnership project)
Petersen AAMC Webinar
Adaptive Challenges
1.
2.
3.
4.
Encourage nurses and
pharmacists to question and
even challenge illegible or
incorrect prescriptions by
physicians
Get health care providers to
improve hand washing rates
Change primary care team roles
to adopt a patient centered
medical home model
(Partnership project)
Design and test new model of
provider payment to reward
quality (Partnership project)
Researchers Can Help with Evidence to Overcome
Both Technical and Adaptive Challenges
• What are the social, cognitive, workflow
barriers to handwashing?
Petersen AAMC Webinar
Examples of Partnership Projects at the Houston
Health Services Research and Development
Center of Excellence
• Longitudinal measures of quality (Petersen and
Woodard, PIs) – 10 publications (Circulation,
Medical Care, JAGS, HSR, Diabetes Care)
• Resource efficiency (Petersen, PI) – 7 publications
(HSR, Medical Care)
• Hospital and community living center peer
facilities (Petersen, PI) – 2 publications (HSR,
American Journal of Managed Care)
• Evaluation of primary care re-design (Hysong, PI)
• RCT of pay for performance (Petersen, PI) – 3
publications
Petersen AAMC Webinar
Understanding Differences
• Network Needs:
– Value fast turnaround, practical projects rather than publications
(implementation/external validity)
– HSR&D cheaper, more knowledgeable than external consultants
– “It doesn’t really have to be perfect”
– Rapidly changing needs, priorities
• Research Needs:
– Academic products
– Internal validity focus
– Slower pace (IRB, funding cycles, data use agreements, HR,
credentialing, contracting)
– Business model

Challenges to Partnerships
• Regulations!
– Data Use Agreements
– Research training for non-researchers
• Business model

Advantages of Partnership
For Researchers
•
•
•
Aligning research with
specific health system
partners to increase the
impact on VHA
Accelerating the
timetable for research
in areas critical to the
health system
Focus upon
implementation early in
the research process
Petersen AAMC Webinar
For Partners
•
•
•
Embedded researchers
are cheaper and more
knowledgeable about
the delivery system
May have access to
data that other
consultants don’t have
Diverse skill set to
tackle problems
Building and Maintaining Partnership
• Need champions within partnering organization
• Some face to face meetings, especially early on
• Continued mutual recognition of needs of
partnering organization
• Continued attention to sustainability
• Appreciation of differences
Petersen AAMC Webinar
Partnership Research is a Team Sport
• Doing partnership work requires an excellent
team
• Ability to respond to questions and requests
• Relationships, relationships, relationships!
