Choosing Wisely Task ForceHypoglycemia Safety Initiative (HSI)October 2014

Susan Kirsh, MD, MPH Mark McConnell, MDStorm Morgan, RN, MSN, MBA

October 2012

Bernie Good, MDDonna Leslie, PharmDChartered May, 2014

Under auspices of

Dr

Leonard Pogach (Specialty Care) and Dr. Gordon

Schectman

(Primary Care

Slide2

Recommendation: “There is no evidence that using medications to achieve tight glycemic control in older adults (65 and older) with type 2 diabetes is beneficial.”1

Slide3

Choosing Wisely:VA Hypoglycemia Safety Initiative (HSI)Ultimate Goal:To foster shared decision making between clinicians and Veterans that is informed by the best available evidence and reduce unnecessary care.

Slide4

Objectives3Describe the HSI: VA voluntary effort to identify and reduce hypoglycemiaDescribe the tools available for useInvite any site or VISN to join!

Slide5

Federal Alignment4September 29

th: The Federal Diabetes Mellitus Interagency Coordinating Committee (DMICC) has a one day meeting at NIH to present the HHS National Action Plan for Hypoglycemic Safety and elicit Federal Collaboration October 30th: Health and Human Services (Office of the Assistant Secretary) sponsoring a conference for representatives from about 100 Federal Agencies and Private Sector Organizations to kick off a

National Action Plan to decrease adverse drug events (opioids, anticoagulation, hypoglycemia)

Slide6

How do WE help lower the risk?5

Be able to identify what causes hypoglycemia

Be aware of the symptoms

Be able to counsel on management (15-15 rule)Act!Be sure we have the right goalIdentify and intervene for patients at riskRecognize that WE created the riskEach PACT Teamlet the key!Outreach to Veterans and Familieshttp://diabetes.niddk.nih.gov

Slide7

6Individual goal setting is needed to find an appropriate, safe, A1c goalVA/DoD Diabetes Guideline 2010Individualized A1C goals based on patient preferences, complications, and co-morbiditiesBased on best available evidenceAvoids “one size fits all” approach

PACT: emphasis on shared decision making

HSI-VISN 12 example8

Utilize VISN Data Warehouse (VDW)

Generate lists for each PC Team

A1c < 7 and on Insulin or Sulfonylurea who:Are age 75 or greaterOR cognitive impairment regardless of ageOR renal impairment (creatinine >2.0)Use CPRS shared template to gather dataApproach:Proactive: call patientsClinical reminder for face-to-face visitsEasily Measured! (by uniform health factors)

HSI-VISN 12 Cohort Identification9

DO YOU BELIEVE THIS PATIENT IS GETTING ANY BENEFIT FROM GLIPIZIDE?

WHAT ABOUT HARMS?

Slide11

Patient Case #110

70 year old male with CKD (

SCr

3.7)Seen for routine care, at which time PCP noted his Clinical Reminder saying he was due for hypoglycemia screening. Taking NPH 10 units dailyA1c 6.1%Denies hypoglycemiaPCP stopped insulin A1c remains well below goal at 6.4% (8-9 per CPG)

Slide12

Patient Case #211

81 year old frail man and his wife

On insulin NPH/REG 70/30 35 units twice daily and 2 units of

Aspart with each mealA1c = 6.7Hypoglycemic episodes about twice/weekPCP stopped Aspart & reduced 70/30 insulin to 30 units in AM/20 units in PM3 months later: A1c = 8.4“He feels SO much better”

Slide13

Slide17

Choosing Wisely: VA HSI: Implementation16

Pro-active assessment of these patients using “non face-to-face” care (telephone encounters)

The addition of a coversheet Clinical Reminder prompts face-to-face evaluation when these patients have a clinic visit.

Teams are encouraged to review their lists of patients and decide on a strategy for contacting them: Providers, Nurses (RN), Diabetes Educators (CDE), and Clinical Pharmacy Specialists (CPS)

Slide18

Choosing Wisely: VA HSI:Teamlet Implementation17

The Team decides who will contact patients:

If a Provider or CPS with Scope of Practice: the entire process can be completed in one encounter

If an RN or CDE: a “huddle” will be needed after evaluation to determine actionPatient contact can be made using a phone encounterConsider a standardized templateUsing health factors in a standard ‘reminder dialog’ CPRS template would allow for data collection if desired

Slide19

Summary18

Hypoglycemia is a severe and significant risk

Everyone at VA can help by being aware of causes/symptoms/management of hypoglycemia

We can easily identify a high-risk cohortWe have the ability to proactively reach out to these patients and potentially lower their risk

Slide20

What Can YOU do?19

Encourage your leaders/site to join the effort!

Remember, it’s

voluntary: NOT a “Directive”So, Veterans NEED you to volunteer!Sign up for the “HSI Listserv”We will regularly update everyone on this email group about activities related to HSIContact us if you want lists of your site’s patient lists sent to you for actionmark.mcconnell@va.gov
