ABSTRACT

The Improving Medicare Post-Acute Care Transformation Act, which mandates electronic sharing of standardized patient data by post-acute care clinical settings, will likely spur further health information technology adoption and evaluation. To support evaluation, the study objective was to clarify components of an evidence-based health information technology evaluation framework, Health Information Technology Reference-based Evaluation Framework, by using the framework in home healthcare and incorporating a sociotechnical perspective in the health information technology evaluation. With 36 observations among three diverse home healthcare agencies, researchers conducted a recorded think-aloud process as nurses documented the home healthcare admission in the EHR. Thematic analysis revealed 15 themes that provided clarification for almost one-third of Health Information Technology Reference-based Evaluation Framework components and added a new concept. All themes reflected a sociotechnical perspective. The new theme added to the Health Information Technology Reference-based Evaluation Framework reflected the sociotechnical perspective: routine use. We anticipate the enhanced Health Information Technology Reference-based Evaluation Framework to be used by evaluators from diverse disciplines, to further facilitate context-dependent health information technology adoption in post-acute care settings.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: Characterize the work that home health care (HHC) admission nurses complete as part of the medication reconciliation tasks, explore the impact of shared electronic medication data (interoperability) from the referral source on medication reconciliation, and highlight opportunities to enhance medication reconciliation with respect to transition in care to HHC agencies. DESIGN: Observational field study. SETTINGS AND PARTICIPANTS: Three diverse Pennsylvania HHC agencies; each used different electronic health record systems with different interoperability characteristics. Six nurses per site admitted 2 patients each (36 patients total). METHODS: Researchers observed the admission process in the patient home and at the HHC agency. The nurses' tasks related to medication reconciliation were characterized by (1) number and change types (ie, medications dropped or added; changes to dose, frequency/administration time, or tablet types) made to the referrer medication list during and after the home visit, and (2) reasons that the nurse called the health provider (doctor, pharmacy) to resolve medication-related issues. Differences between interoperable and non-interoperable observations were explored. RESULTS: Polypharmacy (on average, study patients were taking more than 12 medications) and high-risk medications (on average, more than 8 per patient) were pervasive. For 91% of patients, the number of medications decreased between pre- and post-reconciliation medication lists; 41% of the medications required changes. Nurses using interoperable systems needed to make fewer changes than nurses using non-interoperable systems. In two-thirds of observations, the nurse called a provider. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS: Changes to the referrer medication list and calls to providers highlighted the nurses' effort to complete the medication reconciliation. Interoperability appeared to reduce the number of changes required, but did not eliminate changes or calls to providers. We highlight opportunities to enhance medication reconciliation with respect to transition in care to HHC agencies.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: An important goal of home health care is to assist patients to remain in community living arrangements. Yet home care often fails to prevent hospitalizations and to facilitate discharges to community living, thus putting patients at risk of additional health challenges and increasing care costs. OBJECTIVES: To determine the relationship between home health agency work environments and agency-level rates of acute hospitalization and discharges to community living. METHODS AND DESIGN: Analysis of linked Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services Home Health Compare data and nurse survey data from 118 home health agencies. Robust regression models were used to estimate the effect of work environment ratings on between-agency variation in rates of acute hospitalization and community discharge. RESULTS: Home health agencies with good work environments had lower rates of acute hospitalizations and higher rates of patient discharges to community living arrangements compared with home health agencies with poor work environments. CONCLUSION: Improved work environments in home health agencies hold promise for optimizing patient outcomes and reducing use of expensive hospital and institutional care.

ABSTRACT

Resumen:


Introducción: el programa de Atención Hospitalaria a Domicilio (ATHODO), del Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social (IMSS), se implemento con el fin de llevar atención médica hasta el domicilio de los pacientes con enfermedades crónicas o terminales. Como requisito indispensable para formar parte del programa, el paciente debe contar con un cuidador primario, persona en la que recae la responsabilidad del cuidado del paciente.


Objetivo: evaluar el desempeño del cuidador principal y su relación con la eficiencia del programa ATHODO.


Metodología: estudio descriptivo y transversal correlacional en 72 cuidadores principales inscritos en el programa ATHODO. El desempeño del cuidador principal se evaluó con el instrumento elaborado por Landeros y Huitzache "Valoración para el Agente de Cuidado Dependiente", validado con alfa de Cronbach de 0.862; y la eficiencia del programa, con una lista de cotejo realizada conforme a lo establecido en los siete indicadores de calidad que marca el IMSS. Se consideró eficiente si se cumplieron positivamente los siete indicadores.


Resultados: el desempeño del rol de cuidador principal fue bueno en 58 % y regular en 42 %. El programa ATHODO fue evaluado como insuficiente por los cuidadores debido a que no se cumplió favorablemente con los siete indicadores. Se identificó asociación entre desempeño y eficiencia del programa.


Conclusiones: la asociación entre desempeño y eficiencia del programa ATHODO permite proponer acciones que lo perfeccionen y que mejoren el desempeño del cuidador principal.


Abstract:


Introduction: Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social's (IMSS) Home Health Care program (ATHODO, according to its initials in Spanish) was implemented to bring medical care to the home of patients with chronic or terminal diseases. As a prerequisite for joining the program, the patient must have a primary caregiver: a person with the responsibility of giving care to him.


Objective: To evaluate the performance of the primary caregiver role and its relationship with the efficiency of ATHODO program.


Methodology: A descriptive, correlational cross-sectional study in 72 primary caregivers enrolled in ATHODO. Primary caregiver performance was assessed with the instrument developed by Lan-deros and Huitzache "Valoración para el Agente de CuidadoDependiente" ("Calculation for Dependent Care Agent"), validated with Cronbach's alpha of 0.862. The efficiency of the program was validated with a checklist made as provided in the seven indicators of quality that marks the IMSS. The program was considered efficient if it met with the seven points positively. Results: the performance of the role of primary caregiver was good in 58 %, fair in 42 %. The ATHODO program was evaluated as inefficient by all caregivers, because it didn't met favorably with the seven indicators. An association between performance and efficiency of the program was identified. Conclusions: the association between performance and efficiency of the program allows to propose actions to improve the program and consequently the performance of the primary caregiver.

ABSTRACT

política atual de reorganização do Sistema de Saúde no Brasil utiliza a estratégia de atendimento domiciliar, tendo a atenção primária como base de sua ação, revalorizando o uso das práticas de saúde no domicílio. Este espaço, histórica e culturalmente atribuído às mulheres, influencia e é influenciado por diferentes práticas sociais. Este estudo tem como objetivo analisar como as práticas de saúde voltadas para a Mulher e realizadas no domicílio, estão sendo desenvolvidas por ACS do Distrito Sanitário Barra/ Rio Vermelho reproduzindo as desigualdade de gênero. Utilizou-se a metodologia qualitativa, usando o Materialismo Histórico Dialético como referencial teórico- filosófico. Para a coleta de dados, utilizou-se da observação participante e entrevista semi-estruturada e gravada dos ACS, usando-se a análise de conteúdo. A visita domiciliar apresenta-se como instrumento de trabalho revalorizado. A articulação dos ACS com os serviços apresenta-se com deficiências, considerando-se o atendimento à demanda espontânea. O trabalho dos agentes reproduz características do Modelo Médico Assistencial. Da mesma forma, as práticas de saúde mesmo voltadas para promoção/prevenção de problemas de saúde não são suficientes para enfrentar os conflitos e as necessidades existentes no âmbito domiciliar. O despreparo dos agentes para lidar com problemas complexos reproduzem desigualdades de gênero, na medida em que reforçam o papel da mulher como única cuidadora reafirmando estereótipos sexistas.

ABSTRACT

Home care (HC) is recent in Brazil the way it is practiced today. The foundations of the psychosocial model were presented to healthcare professionals during a training course. Situations experienced by these professional during home care were recorded in the beginning of the course, and presented again at the end of the course. This article aims at discussing theses experiences. It was found that it was difficult for the professionals that attended the course to identify problems related to human relationships and their conflicts, which make up the tissue of family dynamics.

ABSTRACT

No presente artigo, os autores buscaräo fazer uma síntese de toda a experiência e os conhecimentos acumulados por uma cooperativa médica que mantém, há quase quatro anos, um serviço de Home Care inédito em sua regiäo e que hoje certamente se constitui em uma iniciativa de sucesso. Partindo-se de uma visäo histórica que se inicia pelo surgimento das primeiras modalidades de assistência domiciliar na Inglaterra e nos EUA e chega a uma perspectiva da situaçäo do Home Care no Brasil dos dias atuais, passar-se á a uma delimitaçäo dos papéis desempenhados pelo médico e demais profissionais que compöem uma Equipe Multidisciplinar na assistência em domicílio. A seguir seräo abordadas as razöes pelas quais o Sistema Unimed, maior cooperativa de trabalho médico do mundo, vem investindo na criaçäo destes programas em muitas de suas Singulares, e porque tais serviços assumen uma configuraçäo própria quando florescem no ambiente fértil do cooperativismo. Em termos de experiência concreta, a parte mais ilustrativa deste trabalho será aquela que apresenta detalhadamente o funcionamento do Unimed Domiciliar de Juiz de Fora/MG...

ABSTRACT

O presente estudo tem como objetivo discutir a modalidade assistência domiciliar como uma proposta a ser considerada na estratégia de desospitalização no Brasil. Para realizar esse trabalho, dois recursos metodológicos foram utilizados: pesquisa bibliográfica referente ao tema e entrevistas semi-estruturadas com profissionais e representantes de organizações que trabalham com assistência domiciliar no Brasil. A assitência domiciliar à saúde é entendida como uma prestação de serviços de saúde às pessoas de qualquer idade em seus domicílios. Entretando, tem sido utilizada, freqüentemente nos países mais desenvolvidos, no cuidado à saúde dos idosos. Diante da tendência de rápido crescimento do número de idosos no nosso país, justifica-se discutir essa modalidade sob a perspectiva estratégica de desospitalização. Manter o status quo com a assistência centrada na hospitalização gerará uma situação de superlotação das unidades hospitalares, ocupadas por doentes idosos, com doenças crônico-degenerativas, aumentando os custos da assistência à saúde, aumentando a premência no hospital, expondo esse paciente a riscos de toda série de agravos, em particular a depressão, causadora de aceleração de diversas doenças e do comprometimento da qualidade de vida. No momento em que a modalidade existe basicamente no setor privado e ainda assim de forma ainda incipiente - 1 por cento do número de empresas comparado aos Estados Unidos - o Ministério da Saúde deveria considerar esse tipo de atenção, entre outros, como uma opção importante no cuidado de idosos, não só definindo diretrizes para a implantação do modelo na assistência pública, como discutindo a regulamentação das atividades no setor privado, no sentido de assegurar um padrão de qualidade.
