       o Target frail seniors who have experienced a recent functional loss
         that puts them at high risk for long-stay LTC home placement.
       o Aim to enhance timely and appropriate access to programs,
         increase capacity across all elements of an A&R approach to care
         and improve quality of care.
 Ministry Investment
       o Base Funding

Assess & Restore Background
 Project Requirements
       o Eligible projects were required to:
              • Fit within one of the five elements of an A&R approach to care, which
                include: screening, assessment, navigation and placement, intervention
                and transitions home; and
              • Demonstrate improved A&R outcomes across the province.
       o A small number of shared inter-LHIN projects with provincial
         scalability have been encouraged, and LHINs are encouraged to
         release portions of their funding they cannot use to other LHINs

2017/18 A&R Focus
        More than 33,000 older adults received care across
                       28 A&R initiatives
Objectives Across A&R Initiatives:
1) Enhance and improve access to restorative care services for older adults.
2) Move care for older adults from facility-based to community-based,
wherever possible, by implementing proactive models of risk screening and
navigation.
3) Improve outcomes for older adults by implementing best practice care,
including comprehensive geriatric assessment and geriatric interprofessional
rehabilitative care.
4) An additional focus noted in 2017/18 was the development of a regional
strategy to address the operationalization and sustainability of the initiatives.

 What we set out to do…
  o To build on positive outcomes realized by Legacy Central
    West CCAC Home Independence Programs (HIP) offered in
    2015/16 and 2016/17 by:
              • Streamlining program processes and resources
              • Establish a sustainable approach to A & R in Central West LHIN
              • Ensure program made available to patients who would most
                benefit
              • Include more robust outcome measures

www.rehabcarealliance.ca                                             19
Learnings from past HIP experience
 Opportunity to improve centralized screening and oversight
  resulted in inappropriate patients admitted to program
 Availability of PSW as part of service package became an
  access issue for patients who had no other available option
  for PSW services which also impacted on program outcomes
 Education needs for providers to reinforce and support a
  restorative approach in home care delivery

A Soft Landing: The Patient Journey from
                                        Hospital to Community Care
    Scarborough Health Network (SHN) and Carefirst Seniors and
    Community Services Association’s Transitional Care Centre (TCC)
    established a partnership to provide patients and caregivers
    seamless transitions across the health care continuum from acute
    care (SHN) to a facility-based Assess and Restore intervention (TCC)
    then back into the community.

A Soft Landing: The Patient Journey from
                                        Hospital to Community Care
 Program Objectives:
     o Extend beyond strengthening, reconditioning and returning to previous
       level of functioning
     o Provides participants and caregivers with access to services to improve
       or maintain their abilities to enable them to continue to live
       independently in the community including home care, exercise and falls
       prevention classes, and chronic disease management programs.
     o Collaborates with primary care to manage clients and ensure appropriate
       follow-up post-discharge.
     o This restorative program is an innovative model that provides wrap
       around care that continues once the participants have been discharged
       home from TCC

A Soft Landing: The Patient Journey from
                                             Hospital to Community Care
The partnership between SHN and Carefirst provides seniors who require
reconditioning after their acute medical illness access to physiotherapy, nursing,
personal support, social work and community support services.

This A& R Intervention has two key components:
1) Virtual Ward Program (VW): Assist the patient in meeting VW’s five
milestones:
                    o follow-up with primary care;
                    o medication reconciliation;
                    o tests/specialist appointments;
                    o health education; and
                    o linkage to appropriate community services
2) Enhanced Recovery   Program: Individual treatment for those experiencing
significant cognitive/physical/functional impairment; health teaching i.e., falls
prevention, energy conservation; and functional training i.e. gait, transfer and
home safety equipment training

A Soft Landing: The Patient Journey from
                                        Hospital to Community Care
    o SHN, Carefirst, and the Central East LHIN ensures individuals are
      supported in a timely, coordinated and seamless manner as they move
      from SRH to Carefirst TCC and then back into the community with the
      necessary supports in place to enable them to continue to live in their
      homes for as long as possible.

A Soft Landing: The Patient Journey from
                                         Hospital to Community Care
 o Participant/caregiver goals are identified prior to discharge by the inter-
   professional hospital team. Once the participant transitions to TCC, the
   care team then leverages all available resources in order to assist
   participants in achieving their goals and reintegrating them back into the
   community, including:
               •   Meals on Wheels,
               •   LHIN’s Telehomecare program for participants with CHF or COPD
               •   Carefirst’s COPD Community Rehabilitation program,
               •   Geriatric Assessment and Intervention Network or GAIN team,
               •   Diabetes Education Program
               •   Community exercise and falls prevention classes
               •   Caregiver support groups, etc.

Improving Health Care
                                Delivery for Older Adults
 The collaboration between SHN and Carefirst was developed to ensure that
 seniors who are at high risk for not being able to return home, receive the
 reconditioning to enable them to continue to live in the community
 independently. This restorative program is an innovative model that allows:
 • A safe, comfortable environment for seniors to gain their strength,
    mobility, and confidence
 • Access to an interdisciplinary team that can manage their psychosocial
    and physiological needs after an acute hospitalization which can be
    overwhelming for both seniors and their caregivers
 • For a more comprehensive look at the participants’ and caregivers’ needs
    and subsequent access to all community resources including LHIN
    services to prevent them from returning to hospital
 • Additional benefit of much needed respite for caregivers

Developing
                                     Integrative Models of Care
The collaboration between SHN and Carefirst transcends the
boundaries between acute care and community care however it is
not without its challenges including the following:
•      Access to information: difficult to gather medical and social history
       particularly for those admitted from ER. Also for this reason, difficult to
       assess whether they are appropriate for the program. To resolve this,
       Carefirst is provided with access to appropriate hospital IT platforms and is
       in the midst of trying to secure access to ConnectingOntario
•      Difficult to coordinate admissions to TCC on evenings and weekends
•      Initially client may have shown potential for rehabilitation but plateaued,
       making discharges back into the community more difficult
•      Participants who have high social needs, making discharge planning more
       complex. do not have a firm discharge destination or who’s discharge
       destination changes once on TCC
    www.rehabcarealliance.ca                                           40
Developing
                           Integrative Models of Care
 The partnership does have components that work well:
 •    Face to face meetings with potential participants and caregivers provides
      warm transfer from hospital to TCC
 •    Social workers from both organizations collaborate with
      participants/caregivers to ensure a smooth transition and provide clear
      expectations

Developing
                           Integrative Models of Care
 Lessons Learned:
 •    Target population was reevaluated as the program proved inappropriate
      for high need participants
 •    Referral form was modified to reduce duplication in the collection of
      information from the client/caregiver. SHN provides basic information to
      provide general picture, Carefirst does thorough face to face assessment
      in hospital
 •    Lab work services was initially a barrier but has since become
      incorporated into pathway
 •    Participants are at a higher risk of readmissions, but readmission rate
      remained the same as those discharged from hospital. Mitigation: NP
      hired at Carefirst to provide more robust clinical oversight

Developing
                           Integrative Models of Care
 Opportunities for spread:
 The collaboration and integration of acute care and community
 care is essential in ensuring that patients are discharged from
 hospitals in a safe, effective manner that optimizes their well-
 being, reduces caregiver burden, reduces length of stay and
 prevents readmissions.

www.rehabcarealliance.ca                              43
Key Learnings
     Capacity planning:
     o SHN’s goal has been to maintain a constant occupancy of 3 beds.
       Carefirst is able to provide additional beds if it has the capacity to do
       so. This has not yet been an issue. As we expand to other SHN sites, it
       is something to consider
     System gaps
     o There is limited access/funding for this type of transitional care
       setting in the Central East LHIN. Funding for these beds comes from
       the operational budget of SHN.
     o There are other ‘transitional care’ settings but most do not have
       access to as comprehensive a basket of restorative and community
       support services as that offered at Carefirst
     Next steps:
     o      Increase hospital funding for such programs as part of total joint or
            chronic disease pathway as a means to improve patient/caregiver
            experience, reduce length of stay, reduce readmission rate, and
            improve population health

Opportunities to spread an
                                    A&R approach to care
 Key Success Factors:
 •    Integration of the acute care sector with community-based inpatient
      rehabilitation and community support services to provide restorative
      then supportive care to sustain seniors/caregivers once they return home
 •    Focus on prevention:
         Leverage chronic disease management programs to provide patients and
          caregivers the resources/education/tools they require to better manage their
          health care conditions
         Connect patients and caregivers with other community programs that
          optimize their physical/emotional/cognitive well-being like exercise and falls
          prevention classes, Adult Day Program, etc.
         Ensure follow-up with primary care and provide clinical oversight in the
          interim
 •    Collaboration across sectors: primary care, acute care, community care
      including the LHIN share the same goals –enable patients/caregivers to
      thrive in the community while contributing to the sustainability of the
      health care system

Improved Health Care Delivery
    o     Since the Clinical Pathway Process begun patients have received the benefit
          of rapid access to Geriatric Consultation and resultant in-patient rehab post
          the appointment or on-going follow-up with the geriatrician as well as
          medical care specifically designed for the aging population
    o     Since the Pathway was established mid September 2017 until mid
          September 2018 Fifty Six (56) patients were enrolled in the process there
          by either preventing admission to hospital or promoting discharge from an
          overflow bed in the ED
    o     Emergency Department Physicians were very pleased with the process and
          engaged with Rapid Geriatric Consultation as an alternative to hospital
          admission
    o     Many concerning issues were identified through the process and therefore
          community service implemented to meet the clients ongoing needs to
          assist this group of Seniors to remain at Home
    o     TBRHSC, SJCG and the NW LHIN Home Care Division worked as a
          Collaborative Team in the enhancement of care for the identified “At Risk
          Seniors”

 Collaboration between TBRHSC, SJCG and NW LHIN
       o      One of the biggest challenges in working together on the
              Pathway was communication and education to the multiple
              health care providers who were involved in the process
       o      Another process problem was that it was somewhat person
              dependant – either Geriatric Care Coordinator, Geriatrician or
              RR RN availability
       o      Most appointments were scheduled within a week time frame
       o      Patients and families were very pleased with the process
       o      Emergency department staff and doctors were very pleased
              with the addition and assistance from the Pathway Team

Key Learnings
       o      Capacity and ability to identify then serve the growing number of
              Seniors in our community is key. TBRHSC has a very busy ED and
              many of the patients who present are over 65 years
       o      Gaps identified : 24 X 7 coverage of Team members, availability of
              geriatricians to meet the demand, availability of community
              resources to meet the needs of our aging population
       o      Ability of the system to adapt to the varying numbers of referrals –
              example: some weeks there were multiple referrals and other weeks
              there were zero
       o      In the coming months TBRHSC and SJCG will enhance the Pathway
              work through the addition of an additional GCC for extended hours
              and weekends as well as in home support through a OT and/or PT
              home visit

Opportunities to spread an
                                    A&R approach to care
       o      Clinical tools and resources
       o      The GCC and the RR RN both used and forwarded assessments to
              the Geriatrician including the CAM, Depression Screen, Cognition
              Screening, Frailty and PPS as well as Medication Reconciliation and
              Comprehensive Clinical Assessments
       o      A consistent approach was key to the team members
       o      Information and collaboration occurred between TBRHSC, SJCG, NW
              LHIN and Family Care Providers in a consistent approach to patient
              care
       o      Primary Care Providers were included in the process especially
              surrounding medication changes/additions that occurred either at
              the hospital or the Geri Clinic
