Methods of Documentation VI: Case Management Model

839
The case management model is a multidisciplinary approach that involves healthcare professionals from diverse disciplines, such as physicians, nurses, therapists, social workers, and pharmacists, working collaboratively to address the various needs of patients. Each healthcare professional brings unique expertise and perspectives, contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of the patient's condition and tailoring treatment plans accordingly.
For example, a patient with a chronic...

Classification of Illness

8.5K
The meaning of illness is individualized to each person who experiences an alteration in health. In contrast, disease is a medical term indicating a pathological change in the structure and function of the body or mind. It is a condition that has specific symptoms and boundaries.
An illness is a response to a disease in which the person's level of functioning is changed compared with a previous level. The general classification of illness includes acute and chronic.
Acute illness is severe...

Peripheral Artery Disease III: Interprofessional Care

226
Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is characterized by narrowed arteries that diminish blood flow to the extremities. Effective management of PAD requires an interprofessional approach involving various healthcare professionals. The critical aspects of interprofessional care for PAD patients focus on risk factor modification, drug therapy, exercise therapy, nutrition therapy, critical limb ischemia care, and interventional radiology and surgical procedures.The primary treatment goal for PAD...

Area of Science:

  • Health Informatics
  • Primary Care Management
  • Chronic Disease Management

Background:

  • Patients with multimorbidity present complex healthcare needs and are at high risk for adverse outcomes.
  • Primary care teams require effective tools for proactive care planning for these high-risk patients.
  • VET-PATHS (Veteran Panel Management Tool for High-Risk Subgroups) was developed as a novel informatics tool for complex primary care patient management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To iteratively adapt the VET-PATHS tool based on user input.
  • To test the feasibility and acceptability of VET-PATHS among frontline primary care teams for managing empaneled high-risk patients.

Main Methods:

  • User-centered design sessions were conducted with primary care providers and nurses across multiple sites to refine the tool's layout, content, and interface.
  • A pilot intervention study assessed tool use and care plan generation through observations, chart reviews, and qualitative interviews.
  • Latent class analysis of electronic health record data was used to group patients by chronic condition.

Main Results:

  • User feedback led to improvements in VET-PATHS content, context, target users, and display.
  • Pilot teams actively reviewed a high percentage of high-risk patients, prompting new clinical actions and care plan documentation.
  • The tool facilitated actions such as clinic return requests, referrals, and vaccinations, with a notable percentage of planned actions completed.
  • Difference-in-difference analysis indicated a decline in acute hospitalizations post-pilot, while outpatient utilization remained stable or increased.
  • Generalist teams reported higher acceptability, while focused teams with homogenous panels found the care steps less useful.

Conclusions:

  • User-centered improvements enhanced VET-PATHS' ability to help clinicians manage complex patient information and create care plans efficiently.
  • VET-PATHS demonstrated acceptability and feasibility for frontline primary care teams, particularly those managing general patient panels.
  • The tool led to tangible improvements in clinical care delivery for patients with multimorbidity.
