Heart Failure Program- Next Steps
§ March 1st Rollout — Open to other cardiologists in group and IPA — Assign Cardiology Pharmacist Full time — Add additional members to the team:
§ Dietician § Case Manger § LVN coordinator
— Develop Heart Failure Registry — Develop clinical research program
Injection Center
Goals of the Injection Center: § Quality
Ø Appropriateness of the drug, dose, frequency, dosage form, route of administration, and duration Ø Check for drug-drug interactions and duplications Ø Review side effects prior to administration Ø Order appropriate labs prior to administration
§ Patient Safety and education § Proper coding and documentation
§ Decrease wasted/expired medications
Injection Center
Directly Observed Therapy (DOT) Program § Implemented Protocol June 2012 § Overseen by Pharmacist Services § Physician refers patient to Injection Center for Directly
Observed Therapy of INH + RPT regimen § Patient seen weekly for 12 weeks and directly observed taking
medication regimen — Educate patient and monitor for possible ADRs of treatment and/or
disease
Secrets to our Success!
§ Great team! — Physicians and pharmacists work well together
§ Achieve High Patient and Provider satisfaction scores — Scores consistently >90% for program and individual pharmacists
§ Very Accessible — Frequent patient follow-up via telephone or office visits
§ Good panel managers — Several reports assure patients are not lost to follow up
§ Return patient to PCP/specialist management when patient goals are attained
Patient Centered Medical Home
§ Refill Center § Medical Home Overview § Clinical Pharmacist in PCMH
Refill Center § Pharmacists authorize continuation of medications for chronic
diseases under protocol — 22 refill authorization protocols and 4 conversion protocols
§ Quality — Assure patients are seen by their PCP annually — Chronic medication lab monitoring, i.e. annual BMP for patients on
ACE-Inhibitors — Identify patients with above goal LDL and HgA1Cs. — Collaborate with physicians to have their patients’ reach LDL and
HgA1C goals
§ Resource Utilization — Therapeutic Conversions

Overarching Project Goals: PATIENT CENTERED MEDICAL HOME
Maintain/improve quality while improving clinical
efficiency and lowering the cost of care
Coordinate and standardize transi<ons of care
Reduce the PCP burden Improve popula<on health management
IN ORDER TO: -‐ Reduce 30-‐day readmission rate -‐ Reduce admissions/1000 -‐ Reduce ED visits/1000 -‐ Increase pa<ent access
Ensuring:
ü Maximum PCP and care team efficiency and adoption
ü Scalability
ü Minimum physician disruption

§ Starting in 2011, one clinical pharmacist to 6-7 physicians § Pharmacist located in or near physicians office § Huddle with Care Team weekly § Services provided:
— Drug Therapy Management Programs § Diabetes, Hypertension, Dyslipidemia, Asthma, Smoking Cessation, Polypharmacy
— Paired visits with physicians or independent consultations — Medication reconciliation — Post discharge medication reconciliation — Panel management using various registries and reports — Drug information to physicians and staff — Collaborates with NP that does patient home visits — P4P Quality Measures (LDL, BP, DM, Persistent Medications)

Medication Reconciliation Programs § Transition of Care Program
— ISP physicians and in-patient pharmacists identify “high risk” patients during admission. PTA and admission meds are reconciled by an in-patient pharmacist. Pt is referred to a CSMCF out-patient pharmacist for post-discharge med review and reconciliation.
§ CSMC Daily Discharge List
— Medical Home clinical pharmacists receive the daily CSMC patient discharge list. Clinical pharmacist will provide medication review and reconciliation within 3 days of discharge.
§ Polypharmacy Program
— Any patient referred by their physician to be seen by a clinical pharmacist for medication review and reconciliation.

Opportunities to Improve Performance-Generics P4P Goals
— Generic prescribing rates for: Antidepressants, Antihyperlipidemics, Anti-ulcer agents, Cardiac (hypertension and cardiovascular), Nasal Steroids, Diabetes, Anxiety/sedation (sleep aids), anti-migraine and Overall Generic Drug Rate for all prescriptions
— Rates determined from health plan pharmacy data Current Practice
— Dispense as Written Utilization — Sampling permitted in specialty practices — Patient Expectations
Recommendations § Implement Sampling Policy across all practices limiting use to best practices
with P&T Committee approval § Implement Best Practice Alert (BPA) to discourage Dispense as Written
(DAW) prescribing § MD and PharmD patient education re: generics as part of patient visits
— Develop patient-centered brochure
34
Opportunities to Improve Performance Current Practice § MD and patient specific data at drug level based on HMO patients’-report cards
previously and currently provided to Pods and MDs — Reports consist of lists of patients to convert by MD
§ Drugs targeted for reduction integrated into Refill Center — 50% conversion rate due to patient demand
Recommendations § Establish alignment of goals for TCC Pharmacy and Physician Performance
— Specialty medications- Note: RA guidelines in progress § Identify champions for each specialty § Develop and implement guidelines and utilization system
— Concurrent RX and MD review for use outside of guidelines
— Target medications § Order questions in CS-Link-pending Jan 2014 P&T approval
— Medical home § MA support to flag patient on target drugs § Pharmacist best practice checklist: reduce overuse; target drugs; med rec, etc
