3. Mercy Physician Community PHO 145 Primary Care and Specialty Care Physicians 38 PCPs, 20 utilizing Crimson Care Registry 6 MIPCT Practices 3 Hospitals in St. Clair County, MI – St. Joseph Mercy-Port Huron, our affiliate – Port Huron Hospital, independent – St. John-River District

4. Discharge Process St. Joseph Mercy Port Huron – Daily feed through secure Trinity email system of all inpatient and emergency room discharges Port Huron Hospital – Daily feed through a secure web portal of all inpatient and emergency room discharges St. John River District/Outlying Facilities – No current PHO process, though physicians occasionally get their information through portals that they have access to individually.

5. Challenges We Overcame Working with a “competing” hospital to get data to promote better health in our community Administrative burden of handling data in a timely manner Training of offices on what to do with the data Decreasing ED utilization for PCS diagnosis…a work in constant progress!

6. Internal PHO Process Team Member accesses both hospital’s discharge files and saves to our local drives in excel Team Member separates each physician onto its own formatted excel page by group Physician group excel pages are faxed or emailed securing to each office with DC for that day

7. Registry Component Discharges for physicians on our registry are added a service entry with a note by our Team Physician office will then see the service (ER or IP stay) and admitting diagnosis as well as dates of service

8. Care Manager Process If office is a MIPCT office: – Complex Care Manager accesses the excel file through the shared Trinity drives – CCM makes the calls to patients who are DC from the hospital or ED – Calls are logged on the log the Care Management Team uses – Calls are logged in Crimson when there is a goal set or follow up needed.

9. Office Process We train our offices to utilize these lists and contact the patients to get them into the office after an ED visit or IP admission Offices value the information and the ability to get patients in quickly for follow up care Since many health plans incentivize offices for seeing patients post IP stay, our offices really appreciate the daily lists

10. Findings/Quality We routinely track and share information with our Quality Committee and physicians related to time of day and insurance type. Find that most ED visits are M-F 9AM-5PM Most are Medicare Diagnosis are Primary Care Sensitive
