Abstract 103: Clinical Process and Outcome Improvements Based on Within Site Communication: Insights from the Patient Navigator Acute Myocardial Infarction and Heart Failure Program
Circulation-cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes(2019)
Abstract
Background: Team communication about hospital quality efforts in acute myocardial infarction and heart failure (AMI-HF) may affect compliance with hospital transitional care metrics. Methods: At 2 years, hospitals (n=35) participating in the Patient Navigator Program completed surveys on 5 types of communication (sharing meeting minutes, regular team meetings or conference calls with team leaders, a shared checklist, and electronic medical record (EMR)-directed communication) supporting program implementation. Results were assessed for association with 3 outcomes (30-day unadjusted AMI-HF readmission and in-hospital risk adjusted AMI death) and 14 processes: left ventricular systolic dysfunction evaluation, prescription of renin-angiotensin system and beta-blocker medications; identifying HF cases pre-discharge; medication reconciliation documentation on admission, discharge and both times [AMI-HF); planned follow-up in 7 days [HF]; documentation of self-care education and when to call healthcare provider...
