THE CHW ROLE: Why Now?
History and Background
“As the demand for
care increases, so will
the role of community
health workers”
6Building a Community Health Worker Program
Twenty
percent of the
people in the
U.S. have
inadequate or
no access to
primary care.
Building a Community Health Worker Program 7
The healthcare system in the United States is
undergoing a monumental transformation.
Escalating costs have limited the public’s ability to
access affordable, high-quality health and
medical care. With the implementation of the
Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (U.S.
House of Representatives, 2010), commonly
called the Affordable Care Act (ACA), healthcare
insurance coverage will expand to an estimated
32 million people by 2014, with millions more to
follow in the years to come.
Obviously there is a need for novel approaches to
provide access to primary care – approaches that
will help hospitals and health systems to
decrease readmissions and emergency
department visits; increase patient adherence;
improve health and wellness; reduce risk;
prevent disease; and meet population needs
identified by ACA-mandated Community Health
Needs Assessments.
CHW Interventions Produce Cost Savings

healthcare providers
•By providing culturally and linguistically appropriate health or nutrition
education

  1. Now that you have heard about the value, impact and importance of these programs, I’ll share with you the real world experience of initiating a program. Until the end of August – was CNO at WCH where we had successfully implemented a program – program is ongoing. WCH is a single, community hospital. Responsible for HH, private duty – full continuum of nursing care. In September, transitioned to Parkview Health – a complex system in NE Indiana. Describe the process of developing a CHW program in a new system - - one in which I do not have responsibilities for post acute / physician practices. Have been working with stakeholders there to implement a similar program. Will share both experiences.
  2. Wooster Community Hospital (WCH) is located in Wayne County, Ohio, with a population of around 114,600 people
  3. Point out Wooster AND Ft. Wayne
  4. Single entity in Ohio. Progressive – outward looking: how do we meet the needs of our community and the patients we serve? Had HH Implemented private duty care Inpatient Rehab Transitional (skilled level) NH care Recognition that current programs were not meeting the needs of patients / families.
  5. Had initiated disease specific HH visitsUncompensated Post DC visit: CHFStroke Recognition that there were unmet needs – Not addressed by WCH’s services nor community resources Hospital – felt strong commitment to community / responsibility to address community needs regardless of reimbursement Saw program in Meadville PA – Used concepts and grew from there Opportunity to use existing programs & leverage them for success: HH, College’s experience / volunteer program Partnership w college – inform their practice for the future “Patient-centered care includes active engagement of patients in shared decision making. This represents a marked cultural change for medical providers, who traditionally relate to patients as passive recipients of their care” (Berryman, Palmer, & Parham, 2013). WCN provides a different system of care coordination that improves a patient’s health by coaching them into managing their health risk factor. An interdisciplinary team develops a plan of care based on a patient’s goals and provides guidance and services that assists the patients in reaching their goals.
  6. CCN was born! a program that uses an interdisciplinary team approach to create an individualized care plan focused on a patient’s goals towards a healthier lifestyle. WCH and College of Wooster Liberal arts school – BS / BA only; most move on to graduate degrees Partnership – college & hospital Opportunity for both to extend reach beyond their traditional roles / boundaries Why students? Opportunity to inform their future practice Educational give back for hospital Opportunity for 2 large organizations in community to partner for well being of the community FREE LABOR! Hospital supplied: Education of students Coordination / oversight of students as HEALTH COACHES Access to patients Knowledge of how to provide post acute care / knowledge of systems of care College supplied – Established APEX program Students
  7. Semester long course (total: 22.5 hrs) Shadowing CPR (4 hrs) Clinical Competency Assessment (2 hrs) *if done as independent course, plan on 4 – 8 hour days Topics: chronic diseases and their management – COPD, HTN, DM (others covered in weekly team meetings) HIPPA regulations Literacy Communication Monitoring & adherence issues role of the Health Coach After 1st group – determined the need for more content on chronic disease
  8. Patient sources: Does not take the place of other svcs (HH) – is an adjunct Hospital ED MD offices Community agencies Our HH Detailed assessment – RN – will review contents in a minute MOTIVATIONAL INTERVIEWING!!! Goal of program – promote independence and self care Need to focus on what is important to the patient. Partnership – not us telling them what to do
  9. Screen patients within 48 hours of referral Patient met the inclusion / selection criteria and expressed a desire to improve their health. Inclusion criteria: Adm to hospital – last 6 mo ED visit – last 6 mo Use 5 or more meds Chronic disease Example of delaying seeking care that worsened symptoms Exclusion criteria: Hospice Severe dementia / unable to participate in care Mental health issue ONLY No chronic / co-morbid conditions
  10. Within 72 hours of discharge (if hospitalized) or of referral, Comprehensive assessment completed. Socio economic issues Housing situation Education level Self health rating Adherence potential # Health conditions / co-morbidities Used Elixhauser criteria plus expanded psychiatric Psychosocial stressors impacting medical outcomes – loss, finances, legal issues Social support needs: lack of support, medical issues, financial issues Medication compliance Mental health assessment Fall risk
  11. The MNA® is a validated nutrition screening and assessment tool that can identify geriatric patients age 65 and above who are malnourished or at risk of malnutrition. The MNA® was developed nearly 20 years ago and is the most well validated nutrition screening tool for the elderly. Find many patients are malnourished 
  12. Timed up and Go Test – TUG Combine with fall assessment
  13. After assessment – Plan Care! Med Management Nutritional needs DME Smoking Coordination of ongoing care Behavioral Health Goals Depression / Anxiety Substance Abuse / Dependency Pain Housing Legal Financial support Financial Mgmt Transportation Communication (effective) with their providers
  14. DM HTN COPD / Asthma / Pneumonia Secondary stroke prevention
  15. Pharmacist reviews all meds, all patients Dietician: referral if patient screens as malnourished (MNA) or is DM. Most cases, can get reimbursed. DM education – hospital program if able to travel; in home if not Students / coaches – provide weekly visits to help the patient meet their goals (may be more often) Team meetings – weekly Review progress towards goals Coach reports on progress (eyes and ears in the home) – Patients tell coaches things they would not tell their nurse
  16. 35 patients Enrolled patients – all by Feb 2014 – followed 6 mo Comparison against their hospitalizations – prior 6 mo Results follow
  17. Pro’s: Great community initiative Unexpected volunteers! Informed student’s practice for the future Organic growth of the program Now up to 45 coaches Over 100 patients through the program Ongoing capacity approx 60
  18. Extensive care continuum Currently in place: Community health based nurses Case managers – prepare discharge / transition plan Transitional care nurses / Care advisors - in physician practices – coordinate care as patients transition Or hospital based to follow up after DC EMS house calls – in some areas Tuck in service Have new grant and are expanding services Nurse manned phone line Situation – my role is inpatient based; this is outpatient MANY people involved Can become territorial Promotion of individual ‘pet’ projects Need someone with big picture view Even then, multiple people may think that person is them. Spoke with many stakeholders to secure interest / opportunity to develop the role
  19. Closest alignment: Care advisors / Transitional care nurses --- home health Physicians wanted only one place to look for the care plan Developing elective course Implementation of paid / volunteer untrained students this summer Hopeful – class for next fall
  20. CHWs need to honor commitment to time / place for meetings Professionalism
