1Good morning. My name is Colin McCartney and I am an anesthetist and consultant in chronic pain management from Toronto Western Hospital.

SummaryRegional anaesthesia (RA) has significant short, medium and long-term benefitsPressures in modern medicine are adversely influencing use of RARA and the Triple AimKey questions remain to be answered
Why I care about outcomes?Anaesthetist since 1993Regional Anaesthesia and Pain Medicine since 1994Research since 1999Head of Anaesthesia, The Ottawa Hospital since 2014Member of TOH Senior Management Team since 2014Exposure to practice in UK, Canada and US
Why should we care about outcomes?Our patientsOur system: cost:benefitOur specialty: expertise in perioperative and pain medicineWe need to invest in research and education
After Lunch QuotesIf we are not at the table we might be on the menuIf you dont like change you are going to like irrelevance even lessWe have to act like doctors, not technicians and be involved in evaluation of outcomes
SummaryRegional anaesthesia (RA) has significant short, medium and long-term benefitsPressures in modern medicine are adversely influencing use of RARA and the Triple AimKey questions remain to be answered
What are the key unquestioned benefits of regional anaesthesia?Pain controlReduction in adverse effects of opioid analgesia
Regional Anesthesia Reduces Pain
Anesthesia & Analgesia 2012
Value of RA on short term outcomes
What are the generally supported benefits of RA?Improved resp fnctn (Ballantyne et al)Faster return of GI function (Liu SS et al)Improved early ambulation (Ilfeld et al)Better sleep? (Riazi S et al)
Regional and Respiratory
Regional and GI function
What are the questionable benefits?Reduction in surgical site infectionReduced critical care utilizationFaster dischargeReduced readmissionReduced chronic painReduction in cancer recurrenceReduction in mortality

Institute for Healthcare Improvement Triple Aim in Healthcare
Value in HealthCareValue=Experience x Functional Outcome Cost (intensity x length of care)
Outcomes in Regional AnesthesiaBased on IHI Triple AimExperience of care: Pain, Function, AEsPopulation Health: Morbidity/Mortality benefitsCost of care: Efficiency, Early discharge, Reduction in readmission
Important outcomes: who gets to define?Patient: Board of governors, Patient advocates, Research: patient oriented Provider/Physician: Private model driven by quality, patient experience and efficiencyGovernment: More and more involved through incentive driven outcomes e.g. CQUINS (UK), QBPs (Ontario) and CMS (US)
Quality-Based Procedures and Cost-Per Weighted Case (Ontario)Ontario: 13.5 million peopleOHIP covers all medical care (tax-based system)Quality-based procedures being standardized based on best evidenceHospitals measured on case cost (per weighting) and funded/penalized based on costs
Quality Based Procedures(QBP)Price x Volume approach Funding allocated to procedures targeting areas demonstrating opportunity to: introduce evidence into clinical pathwaysreduce practice variationattain cost efficienciescatalyze alignment of quality and funding.
How are guidelines developed?Expert consensusHealth Quality OntarioHip fracture/Hip and knee arthroplastyTry as much as possible to use evidence from the literatureOften evidence poor or not presentUnderlines importance of research in our specialty
382,000 patients25% neuraxialNeuraxial associated with less mortality, length of stay, in-patient morbidity
Anesthesiology 2013
Strengths/Limitations of QBPsStrengths: first attempt to standardize practice across Ontario, Drives KT process, Drives further research
Weaknesses: based on limited evidence, opinion-based, limited input from patient experience of care, most funding remains based on geography/population base
Outcomes in Regional AnesthesiaBased on IHI Triple AimExperience of care: Pain, Function, AEsPopulation Health: Morbidity/Mortality benefitsCost of care: Efficiency, Early discharge, Reduction in readmission
What is patient experience?
a national study revealed that patients who reported being most satisfied with their doctors actually had higher healthcare and prescription costs and were more likely to be hospitalized than patients who were not as satisfied. Worse, the most satisfied patients were significantly more likely to die in the next four years

RA and Cost of Care
Reduced LOS and reduction in readmission with PNBNo difference in falls (McIsaac D unpublished)Reduction in SSI: Cost of SSI from $400 to $30,000 (Urban J 2006)

SummaryRegional anaesthesia (RA) has significant short, medium and long-term benefitsPressures in modern medicine are adversely influencing use of RARA and the Triple AimKey questions remain to be answered
What questions remain?Pain after discharge from hospitalIdentification and validation of novel measures of recovery after surgeryKnowledge translation and RAValue of RAPMImpact of RA on opioid utilization after surgery
SummaryRegional anaesthesia (RA) has significant short, medium and long-term benefits and has a major place in modern healthcarePressures in modern medicine are adversely influencing use of RARA and the Triple AimKey questions remain to be answered
ConclusionsGovernments talking about resource allocation based on Triple AimCurrently much talk about cost and less about valueRA costs money but improves value through all parts of the Triple Aim: Patient experience, Population Health and Per Capita CostSome courage required to make fundamental changes
To improve is to change, to be perfect is to change oftenWS Churchill
