Evaluating Intervention Allocation Policies for Reducing Hospital Readmissions at Michigan Medicine

Обзор

The researchers are investigating if using a risk-based prediction score or benefit-based prediction score to allocate transition of care (TOC) interventions is more effective in reducing the rate of unplanned hospital readmissions or death within 30 days of hospital discharge.

Подробное описание

The intervention affects only how the TOC bundle is assigned and does not alter how the telephone calls are delivered. For example, both care navigators and pharmacists receive the same patient information and follow the same call procedures before and after the intervention.

Individuals with predicted benefits greater than the 40% quantile are assigned the phone call bundle while others were not assigned the bundle. During the trial the 40% quantile will be dynamically determined using discharge data from the previous week.

Вмешательства

• Устройство C-HARP TOC assignment
  The Experimental Arm will allocate TOC interventions based on scores generated by the Causal-Hospital reAdmission Risk Prediction Model (C-HARP), C-HARP is a linear model that leverages routinely collected and stored patient data in the electronic health record (EHR) to estimate how much a patient will benefit from receiving Michigan Medicine's (MM's) TOC telephone call bundle.
• Другое The LACE Index TOC assignment
  The LACE Index has four components: Length of Stay (L), Acuity of the Admission (A), Comorbidities (C), and Emergency Department Visits (E), and estimates the risk of a patient having an unplanned hospital readmission after being discharged from their current encounter.

Первичные конечные точки

• The number of 30-day all-cause unplanned readmission or death [Срок оценки: 30 calendar days following the index discharge]

Вторичные конечные точки (5)

• The number of 90-day all-cause unplanned readmission or death [Срок оценки: 90 calendar days following the index discharge]
• Time to first 90-day all-cause unplanned readmission or death [Срок оценки: 90 calendar days following the index discharge]
• TOC telephone call bundle completion (care navigator call) [Срок оценки: 5 calendar days after discharge.]
• TOC telephone call bundle completion (clinical pharmacist call) [Срок оценки: 14 calendar days after discharge]
• TOC telephone call bundle completion (both calls) [Срок оценки: 14 calendar days after discharge]
