Topics to Be Covered
• Interventions used by clinical documentation specialists in the academic medical center to impact: – National Hospital Inpatient Quality Measures (NHIQM)
– Patient Safety Indicators (PSIs)
– Risk-adjusted mortality indices
– Hospital-acquired conditions (HACs)
– Readmission rates

Thomas Jefferson University Hospitals (TJUH)
• 957-bed tertiary care center in Philadelphia, PA
• 3 campuses:– Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, Center City
Philadelphia
– Methodist Hospital Division, South Philadelphia
– Jefferson Hospital for Neuroscience, Center City Philadelphia
• 46,000 discharges per year
• 1,149 medical staff
• 6,240 employees

Clinical Documentation Improvement Program (CDIP)
• 9 FTEs– 8 RN clinical documentation specialists (CDS)
– 1 RN CDIP manager
• Reporting structure: – CDS>CDIP manager>Director of HIM>Chief medical
officer
• Program start date: 11/2005 (4 FTEs)
• Program re-structured: 5/2007 (8 additional FTEs)
• Program re-re-structured: 1/2009 (9 FTEs)

NHIQM and the HQID Project
![Page 8: The Impact of CDI on Quality and Safety Initiatives in an Academic Medical Center](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051416/56812ac4550346895d8e956b/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
NHIQM and the HQID Project
• “Through the Premier Hospital Quality Incentive Demonstration CMS aims to see a significant improvement in the quality of inpatient care by awarding bonus payments to hospitals for high quality in several clinical areas, and by reporting extensive quality data on the CMS web site.”
• “Under the demonstration, hospital performance will be based on evidence-based quality measures for inpatients with: heart attack, heart failure, pneumonia, coronary artery bypass graft, and hip and knee replacements.”

NHIQM at TJUH
• Inpatient participation:– SCIP
• 100% abstraction of hip/knee, colon surgery, hysterectomy, vascular surgery, CABG/other cardiac surgery
• Sampling of other major surgery cases
– AMI
– CAP
– HF

CDIP and NHIQM: The “Old” Way
• 2007: Increased hospital focus on QM
• 8 additional FTEs hired into CDIP
• Goal was concurrent CDS review of 100% of QM cases (excluding weekends and one-day stays)
• CDS created case in Premier and abstracted all available information at that time
![Page 12: The Impact of CDI on Quality and Safety Initiatives in an Academic Medical Center](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051416/56812ac4550346895d8e956b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Pitfalls
• Principal diagnosis dependency
• Redundancy– CDS/abstractor
• Unnecessary focus on elements unable to be impacted concurrently
• “Culture of fear”
• Staffing and process issues
• Processes revised in January 2009
![Page 13: The Impact of CDI on Quality and Safety Initiatives in an Academic Medical Center](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051416/56812ac4550346895d8e956b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The Current Way!
• More streamlined process• Goal: Concurrent review of
all 2-day-out charts• Focus evenly weighed
between: – DRG/reimbursement– SOI/ROM– QM
• 1-day-out review of PNA, AMI, and HF charts– Based on admitting dx
• Query process escalated for QM queries

Acceptable Documented Reasons for Delay in PCI
Documentation must be made clear somewhere in the medical record that (1) a “hold”, “delay,” or “wait” in doing PCI/reperfusion/cath/transfer to cath lab actually occurred , AND (2) that the underlying reason for that delay was non-system in nature. Examples of acceptable documentation related to PCI delay: (*Note: Reason must be documented by a physician or physician designee) “PCI delayed due to delay in diagnosis.”
“PCI delayed due to atypical presentation in the ED.”
“PCI delayed due to ___________” (other diagnostic tests being performed, ex = Echo, CT scan of chest, etc).
“PCI delayed due to intermittent hypotension when crossing lesion.”
“Hold on PCI. Will do TEE to r/o aortic dissection.”
“PCI delayed due to –No urgent need, well beyond the window. (C/P greater than 24 hours, MI occurred yesterday but continues with chest pain).”
“PCI delayed due to the patient’s anatomy made the procedure technically difficult requiring several guiding catheters and wire attempts and balloon inflations to achieve the final result.”
“PCI delayed due to history of C/P is __ months old and has had symptoms for ___ hours and patient’s EKG with STE shows Q waves.”
PCI was delayed due to difficulty crossing the lesion with______ to get to the ____________ stenosis.”
“PCI delayed due to waiting for the patient’s family to arrive.”
“SVG angiojet cath did not cross lesion. XMI catheter successfully crossed the stenosis. Flow reestablished after 30 min. delay.”
“Patient waiting for family and clergy to arrive-wishes to consult with them before PCI.”
“PCI delayed due to totally occluded vessel.”
PCI delayed due to patient’s behavior.”
“PCI delayed due to patient required stabilization in the ED prior to transfer to the cath lab.”
“PCI delayed due to patient / family initially refused Cath lab but then decided to proceed with procedure.”
“PCI delayed due to patient requiring stabilization with Dopamine and fluids in the ED.”
“PCI delayed due to difficulty communicating treatment plan with patient. Had to wait for a ____________ interpreter.”
“PCI delayed due to patient’s inability to consent initially. (Patient was initially unresponsive upon presentation but then woke up.”
PCI held due to patient refusal.

Improving Risk-Adjusted Mortality
• Mortality is typically expressed as a ratio of an observed mortality rate to a risk-adjusted expected rate– Ratio is observed to expected (O/E)
• Two avenues for improvement:1.Decrease observed
2.Increase expected

CDIP Impact on ROM
• There are a few key variables that impact almost every MS-DRG– Code for use of palliative care is in 1/3 of the models; when
we analyzed our data, only 60 patients in a year had the code
– The number of diagnosis codes that are applied to a patient is a variable in the models; we had been capping at 15
– There are 30 comorbid conditions that are of particular interest in the models
– Admission status was incorrectly coded as “elective” instead of “urgent”
– There are two proprietary “black box” variables that come from the APR-DRG grouper that are key variables in the models (severity of illness and risk of mortality)

Clinical Group Memberships
• CA-UTI task force (HAC)– If patient has foley and a UTI, CDS evaluates case
based on TJUH infection control and CDC guidelines
– If meets criteria, CDS queries MD. “Is patient’s UTI:• Catheter-associated
• Not catheter-associated
• Unable to clinically determine whether catheter associated”
– CDIP and SCIP working group report cases of urinary catheter not removed by end of postop day 2• CA-UTI task force follows up with nursing or surgical team

Clinical Group Memberships
• HAPU (Six Sigma project)– CDIP provides education related to documentation
and coding guidelines
– CDIP provides input regarding admission assessment documentation of pressure ulcers
– CDIP queries for pressure sore/stage
– CDIP provides input for form revisions and education
![Page 68: The Impact of CDI on Quality and Safety Initiatives in an Academic Medical Center](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051416/56812ac4550346895d8e956b/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
Upcoming Opportunities …
• Diabetes clinical group (HAC)
• Sepsis clinical group (PSI)
• CVC infection control group (HAC?)
• Readmission rates among other diagnoses– PNA
– AMI
– Etc.
• LOS
