9 3/21/06 Quality Improvement Opportunities PEBB  Beta blocker post-MI  Diabetes nephropathy screening

10 3/21/06 Beta Blockers Post-MI  For 2006 one of our quality goals regionally is improvement in all the JCAHO AMI measures, including beta blocker use post-MI  At KSMC this is a primary quality initiative for 2006  All plan hospitals—St. Vincent’s, SWWMC, St. Johns, Salem are participating in IHI 100,000 lives campaign with AMI bundle as a core strategy  Six month adherence to beta blocker use is a new HEDIS measure, we are currently considering strategies to ensure compliance

11 3/21/06 Diabetic Nephropathy Monitoring  Those patients at risk for diabetic nephropathy can be identified with newer urinalysis tests— microalbuminuria testing  HEDIS adopted microalbuminuria testing as a standard annual test for all diabetics  Kaiser had microalbuminuria as a standard test on our “panel diabetes” lab ordering process

12 3/21/06 Diabetes Nephropathy Monitoring (continued)  Context: Diabetics develop macrovascular (large vessel) and microvascular (small vessel) atherosclerosis  Macrovascular disease causes heart attacks and strokes and is the leading cause of death in diabetes  Microvascular disease causes diabetic retinopathy leading to blindness; and diabetic nephropathy leading to end stage renal disease (ESRD) resulting in dialysis or kidney transplant

13 3/21/06 Historical Perspective  Research on microvascular disease, specifically diabetic nephropathy, has shown that early detection of those diabetics at risk of renal disease and specific treatments can slow the progression and prevent ESRD/dialysis  The main treatments are: Improved blood pressure control—goal bp < 130/80, and use of specific medications—ACE-I and/or ARB

14 3/21/06 Macrovascular Disease Research  Research on macrovascular disease has demonstrated that all diabetics given ACE-I (or ARB’s) had lower rates of macrovascular disease (heart attacks/strokes)  Based on this information Kaiser Northwest and nationally felt microalbuminuria screening was unnecessary and removed it from the “panel diabetes” order  As a result our HEDIS nephropathy scores have fallen

15 3/21/06 Current Consensus  HEDIS has proposed changing the nephropathy screening measure for 2007 such that any patient on ACE-I or ARB will count as having had nephropathy monitoring  Kaiser Northwest region has decided to add microalbumin testing back to our “panel diabetes” order  By the end of 2007 our nephropathy screening rate will be significantly higher

16 3/21/06 Tools to Achieve Improved Diabetes Quality Goals  Health maintenance alerts for any diabetic who has not had diabetic labs in past 9 months  Health maintenance alerts when last recorded blood pressure is not at goal  Promotion of ALL= Aspirin, Lovastatin, Lisinopril use in all members  Monthly rosters for health care teams listing diabetics with LDL > 100, or no LDL in past 9 months, hgba1c > 9 or no hgba1c in past 9 months, no microalbuminuria testing in past 9 months, bp not at goal
