Title: The Time Critical Diagnosis System and the Role of the Trauma Model


1
The Time Critical Diagnosis System and the Role
of the Trauma Model
  • Samar Muzaffar, MD MPH

2
The Time Critical Diagnosis System Concept
  • Dr. Bill Jermyns vision for emergency medical
    care in Missouri introduced some key concepts,
    including
  • The Circle Concept
  • The Emergency Medical Care Systems (EMCS)
    approach
  • The Time Critical Diagnosis System in Missouri

The Emergency Medical Care System Concept
  • The EMCS Concept
  • Time critical diagnoses share some fundamental
    principles.
  • The Emergency Medical Care System is built upon
    these principles, which apply whether you are
    dealing with trauma, stroke, STEMI, or future
    time critical diagnoses.
  • This is the elegance of the Circle concept.
  • Bill Jermyn, DO, FACEP

5
The Emergency Medical Care System Concept
  • How is the EMCS different?
  • Society expects emergency care to be available at
    all timesEmergency Medical Treatment and Active
    Labor Act (EMTALA)
  • Regionalization makes sense for EMCS to
    appropriately allocate finite resources, decrease
    costs, and improve outcomes
  • There are different parameters imposed by society
    on the emergency medical care system than apply
    to the rest of the health care system
  • Bill Jermyn, DO, FACEP

6
The Emergency Medical Care System Concept
  • Integrate public health, public safety, and the
    healthcare systems into the Emergency Medical
    Care System.
  • Make you think about the system design for the
    patient, provider, and support future needs.
  • Bill Jermyn, DO, FACEP

7
The Time Critical Diagnosis System Concept
  • We work together towards the common goal of
    improved patient care for those diagnoses that
    are time dependent. We dont do it separately.

9
The Time Critical Diagnosis System
  • Uses the well-established trauma system model but
    keeps the individual system components separate
    in a cooperative structure. That is, they have to
    cooperate, but they do not dilute one another.
  • Brings a much larger public focus on the entire
    system than the individual components could ever
    hope to achieve.
  • Bill Jermyn, DO, FACEP

10
The Time Critical Diagnosis System Concept
  • What are the similarities?
  • Three diagnoses sick trauma, stroke, STEMI
  • Right patient, right place, right time, right
    care
  • We have clear evidence that timely and
    appropriate treatment of these three diagnoses
    can improve patient outcomes.
  • Bill Jermyn, DO, FACEP

11
The Time Critical Diagnosis System Concept
  • What Are The Similarities?
  • Circle concept of system of care
  • Data collection and data collection platform
  • QI process
  • Public education
  • Importance of early recognition and appropriate
    transport and triage (Right Care, Right Place,
    Right Time)

12
The Time Critical Diagnosis System Concept
  • What Are The Similarities?
  • Concepts of parallel processing and moving
    care forward.
  • Need for common time saving measuresleave on EMS
    stretcher, one call transfers
  • Legislative requirements
  • Political mechanism
  • Bill Jermyn, DO, FACEP

13
The Time Critical Diagnosis System Concept
  • What Are The Similarities?
  • Need for well-designed inter-facility transfer
    mechanisms
  • In-hospital programs that can contribute to the
    overall effort
  • Patient outcome improvements require a total
    system perspective---If it takes 5 hrs to get the
    patient to the right place, who cares if you save
    15 minutes of hospital time?

14
The Time Critical Diagnosis System Concept
  • Why Design Only One System?
  • Shared resources (data collection, QI, political,
    funding, provider/public education, prevention,
    staffing)
  • Shared resources increase the odds of successful
    implementation and viability
  • A common system is easier for participants to
    deal with (hospitals, 9-1-1, EMS, etc)
  • Bill Jermyn, DO, FACEP

15
The Time Critical Diagnosis System
  • Why Combine The Systems?
  • Political strength is more effective if we band
    together
  • QI process easier if we integrate across
    disciplines and opportunity for lessons learned
    is greater
  • National emphasis to better integrate emergency
    systems
  • Bill Jermyn, DO, FACEP

16
The Time Critical Diagnosis System Concept
  • System Requirements
  • Includes all the stakeholders for system design
    and structure.
  • Viable and supports patient care
  • Means to sustain itself
  • Improves care over time-able to refine itself
  • Consistent data collection and use to support QI
  • Bill Jermyn, DO, FACEP

17
The Time Critical Diagnosis System Concept
  • Does System Design Matter?
  • Bill Jermyn, DO, FACEP

18
The Time Critical Diagnosis System Concept
  • Current System Development Focus
  • Pre-Hospital
  • Hospital
  • Quality Improvement
  • Public Education
  • Professional Education
  • To be addressed

Time Critical Diagnosis System History
  • 2003Identified need to improve EMCS
  • 2004 Held state summit on reform- included
    legislators and medical community
  • 2005 State Government involvement begins
  • 2006 DHSS and stakeholders draft strategic plan
    for 360/365 EMCS system
  • 2007 Governor approves DHSS draft legislation
    DHSS forms Time Critical Diagnosis Task Force to
    develop formal recommendations funding secured
  • Bill Jermyn, DO, FACEP

20
Time Critical Diagnosis History
  • Jan-March Bills introduced in Legislature Task
    Force of over 100 professionals across state met
    5 times.
  • May House Bill 1790 enabling reform was passed
    by legislature on last day of session. It was one
    of only 139 bills to pass.
  • July The Governor signs bill into law.
  • August Task Force submitted formal
    recommendations for system reform to state health
    department
  • September Trauma Task Force convened
  • September/October Stroke and STEMI
    implementation groups convened
  • Bill Jermyn, DO, FACEP

21
The Role of the Trauma Model
  • Lessons Learned
  • Trauma SYSTEM saved lives
  • Accommodate regional and local variations
  • Set standards that are agreed upon by all
  • Verify compliance with those standards by some
    objective means
  • Bill Jermyn, DO, FACEP

22
The Role of the Trauma Model
  • Lessons Learned, cont.
  • Gather Quality Improvement (QI) data, analyze it,
    and use it to adapt and refine the system
  • Involve the the correct stakeholders
  • Design to encourage parallel processing not
    sequential
  • Examine all aspects of the patients care
  • Bill Jermyn, DO, FACEP

23
The Role of the Trauma Model
  • Lessons Learned, contd
  • Self-assessment accreditation processes help
    some, but independent, outside review teams and
    center designation improve outcomes even more
    (DiRusso S et al. Preparation and achievement of
    American College of Surgeons Level 1 trauma
    verification raises hospital performance and
    improves patient outcomes. J Trauma 2001 Aug.
    51(2)294-300.) (Mann NC et al. Systematic review
    of published evidence regarding trauma system
    effectiveness. J Trauma 1999 Sept47(3 Suppl)

27
Where is Trauma in Missouri Now
  • Goals and Objectives

28
Where Are We Now
  • We have center designation
  • We have center accreditation
  • We have pre-hospital services
  • We have a State Registry
  • We have protocols

29
Where Are We Now
  • But do we have a system or do we function in
    silos?

30
Where Are We Now
  • Do we know the trends in state data?
  • Do we have well established Regional and State QI
    processes?
  • Do pre-hospital and hospital providers
    communicate about patient care? In the field?
    In transfer?
  • Does dispatch communicate with field personnel
    and hospital personnel?
  • Do we coordinate resources and response?
  • Do we have evidence-based plans of action
    throughout the state
  • Do we have effective medical control and
    direction?

31
Where Are We Now
  • Do we have a financial base that can support a
    system?
  • Do we have comprehensive public education, injury
    and violence prevention programs?
  • Essentially, does one aspect of the system build
    on the prior and feed into the next?

32
Where Are We Now
  • Unintentional Injury Profile for Missouri
    (www.dhss.mo.gov/ASPsUnintentional/Trend)
  • Deaths Motor Vehicle Traffic
  • Three-Year Moving Average Rates
  • The curve for Missouri is flat
  • 91-93 18.4/100,000
  • 04-06 18.9/100,000
  • Some improvements seen in 07 and 08

33
Where Are We Now
  • Why is the curve flat?
  • Do we have good measures?
  • Do we have effective injury prevention programs?
  • Do we have an effective Trauma SYSTEMS approach?

34
Where Are We Now
  • We did a pilot study/survey
  • Some responded (N19 mainly out-of-hospital
    providers)
  • Gave a starting point for more directed survey

35
Where Are We Now
  • We asked about Regional Challenges
  • You replied
  • Access
  • Knowledge
  • Resources
  • QA/QI
  • Protocols
  • Coordination
  • Helicopter Early Launch Protocols
  • Diversion/Delays
  • Culture/Attitudes

36
Where Are We Now
  • We asked about Local Challenges
  • You replied
  • Sense of urgency around class 2 and 3s
  • Resources/Education
  • Diversion/Delays
  • Destination determination
  • Funding
  • Dispatch/EMD
  • Coordination

37
Where Are We Now
  • Other Issues Raised
  • Divergent classification schemes
  • Equipment/Technology needs
  • Communication
  • Injury Prevention
  • Medical Direction
  • Self-Referral
  • Role of small and rural hospitals
  • Hospital Delays

38
Where Are We Now
  • We have a system, but its components are
    sometimes
  • Fragmented
  • In need of updating
  • And not cooperating and coordinating efforts

39
Where Are We Now
  • The issues raised in this pilot study reinforce
    the objectives for this Task Force
  • This process will run in parallel to the Stroke
    and STEMI implementation process set forth in the
    TCD Task Force Report

40
Where Are We Now
  • This is an opportunity to assess where we are,
    state what we need, and implement plans to move
    our system forward
  • There is intense interest in seeing the trauma
    system succeed and grow
  • The trauma system model creates the core
    infrastructure for the TCD System in Missouri

41
Goals and Objectives
  • Goals
  • To design an integrated emergency medical system
  • To broaden the trauma system approach and
    perspective to improve injury prevention efforts,
    patient care throughout the circle, and patient
    outcomes
  • To set the framework for the stroke and STEMI
    arms of the TCD System
  • To establish an efficient and effective approach
    for future time critical diagnoses incorporated
    into the system

42
Goals and Objectives
  • Objectives
  • To assemble a Task Force for trauma from the
    various stakeholders in Missouris trauma system
    guided by a Steering Committee for this process
  • To have clear Roles and Responsibilities for the
    Task Force and Steering Committee

43
Goals and Objectives
  • Objectives
  • To have clear end products for the close of the
    Task Force efforts
  • To have clear agendas for each of the meetings
  • To debrief and have synthesis of regional and
    state level at each stage in the process

44
Goals and Objectives
  • To conduct the meeting agendas using the TCD
    System components and address
  • Response Coordination- Dispatch EMD/PAI
  • Pre-Hospital Response and Transport
  • Hospitals
  • Quality Improvement
  • Professional Education
  • Public Education/Prevention
  • Payer

    development
  • Plan for QI on statewide and regional basis for
    centers seeing trauma patients, designated and
    non-designated
  • Common language state trauma classification
    scheme with regional variables

47
Conclusions
  • We have assembled a large group of stakeholders
  • Some of us will agree on some things and diverge
    on others
  • The same stakeholders that agree on one thing may
    diverge on another
  • We will need to compromise and find common ground
  • This is a consensus building process to build the
    best system we can for the patient

48
Conclusions
  • Nothing endures but change.
