Family Caregivers: Who They Are, Why They Matter, and How To Engage Them
John Schall Chief Executive Officer Caregiver Action Network February 24, 2014

90 Million Family Caregivers in U.S.
Two out of every 5 adults are family caregivers. 39% of all adult Americans are caregivers – up from 30% in 2010. Alzheimer’s is driving the numbers up. 15 million family caregivers caring for more than 5 million with Alzheimer’s. But it’s not just the elderly who need caregiving. The number of parents caring for children with special needs is increasing, too, due to the rise in cases of many childhood conditions. Wounded veterans require family caregivers, too. 1 million Americans caring in their homes for service members from the Iraq and Afghanistan wars who are suffering from traumatic brain injury, post-traumatic stress disorder, or other wounds and illnesses. And it’s not just women doing the caregiving. Men are now almost as likely to say they are family caregivers as women are (37% of men; 40% of women). And 36% of younger Americans between ages 18 and 29 are family caregivers as well, including 1 million young people who care for loved ones with Alzheimer’s. Family caregivers are the backbone of the Nation’s long-term care system. Family caregivers provide $450 billion worth of unpaid care each year. That’s more than total Medicaid funding, and twice as much as homecare and nursing home services combined.

What Family Caregivers Do
Help with 2.6 ADLs and 4.9 IADLs Manage medications (70% of time) Provide hands-on patient care (46% perform complex medical/nursing tasks such as providing wound care, and operating specialized medical equipment) Schedule doctor visits, plan travel to and from visits, and go with them Arrange for home visits by therapists and nurses Deal with medical emergencies Take care of insurance matters Navigate health care system for patient Provide emotional support to patient Continue doing many of patient’s household duties/take over “breadwinner” role

Ideally, Hospitals Would…
Designate caregiver in the patient’s medical record Recognize and include caregiver as part of the health care team Meet with caregiver to discuss patient’s plan of care Notify caregiver before transfer to another facility Instruct caregiver at discharge* Follow up on after-care tasks after discharge*

Implementing Caregiver Engagement
Established a comprehensive, collaborative process between hospital and home care agency: The family caregiver was identified, assessed and engaged by social worker and care team in the hospital This information was given to the home care agency (on-site intake planners) Home nursing visits were arranged to include family caregiver whenever possible Supports to staff: Staff given input into the tools used to assess family caregiver needs In-services by clinicians (e.g. Chief of Cardiology) Weekly meetings of team (hospital and home care agency combined)
36
Expanding the Care Team
Family caregivers invited to in-hospital team meetings with patients. Home care visits now included consulting family caregiver “IVR” Interactive Voice Response system: Provided care management to patients Disease management coaching Continuous care coordination with hospital, community providers, and home visits from a multidisciplinary team NYCHHC managed care program (Metro Plus): Approved payments for care management, home visits, and to change formulary to meet patients needs
37
Breaking through the Barriers to Caregiver Engagement
Had to meet the patient and family caregiver where they were at, and when they could be there We focused on strengths not deficits “Breakthrough” (LEAN) event: Brought care teams together for a week long for program development, then scheduled weekly case conferences on patients and program updates Scheduled periodic education sessions with members of entire teams (hospital, out patient, home care, and managed care) including physicians, field staff, and managed care case managers to bring all members together and work towards understanding and meeting shared goals for the patients and the program
38
Breaking through the Barriers, continued
Key intervention: Provided medications prior to discharge for patients and families that had trouble filling prescriptions Continually measured our progress and examined successes and failures

Caregiver and Patient Story
Given a prescription for 25 mg. of a Beta Blocker Was only supposed to take 12.5 mg. twice a day He was confused about the dosages of his medications Our Care Manager coordinated with his pharmacist, his physician, and his PA to clarify the dose: avoided a "near miss” His caregiver (mother) was supportive of his lifestyle changes and learned about appropriate dietary choices. She cooked food for him that was low in fat and low in sodium to help him meet his dietary goals. Mr. H: 60 year old bilingual Hispanic man Lives with his mother near Metropolitan Hospital Mother is caregiver – she cooks for household, so engaging her is critical On Telehealth care management for Heart Failure, depression and slow speech for 3 months.
41
Caregiver and Patient Story
He met goal of Project RED HF program by having zero readmissions within 3 months. He was very satisfied customer and to this day, keeps his meds "straight,” has no shortness of breath. He feels that the changes he has made have greatly improved his quality of living. He was happy to report feeling well enough to now take his mother out to eat for seafood at City Island on Christmas Eve. By discharge from home care, he met 5 of the 7 American Heart Association Goals: Life's Simple 7: 1. Not smoking cigarettes (never smoked) 2. Keep healthy body weight BIM <25 (his=BMI 26.6) 3.
