Health Care Delivery Systems

UNSTRUCTURED Calls for innovation in health care delivery have been widespread due to payment reforms and access to digital tools, and innovations have been accelerated by the shift to virtual care as part of the COVID-19 response. Prior to the pandemic, a growing number of health systems set up innovation centers to focus on creating new services and exploring new business models relevant to value-based care. This is distinct from process improvement or implementation science, and often needs a different set of incentives to succeed within a large organization. We used a national survey to identify a diverse sample of centers, and interviewed leaders to describe their aims, organizational structures and activities. They all aim to improve patient outcomes and experience while reducing costs, but their strategic focus may differ. The centers also vary in their reporting structure, how they build internal capacity, and how they measure success. We highlight the range of strategies through examples of projects that improve quality, reduce costs and generate new revenue. While the optimal forms and impact of innovation centers are still emerging, the fiscal pressures and the rapid uptake of digital technologies present opportunities for redesign of health services in the post-pandemic era. The experiences of these centers illustrate a set of approaches to increase any organization’s capacity for innovation.

The University

Acting upon the recommendations of a review of information and communications technology (ICT) governance and services at USQ, a major restructure was effected merging ICT units previously scattered across the university. The new Division of ICT Services embodies both CobiT and ITIL principles. To ensure the radical change was managed professionally, a change manager was seconded to the project. The value and importance of this role was underestimated and in retrospect it was removed too early. With the new structure now in place, a single service desk has been implemented and service level agreements have been formulated. This chapter describes the new reporting structure of the Division of ICT Services, the internal structure, the goals of the Division and how they align with the USQ corporate goals. Care was taken to ensure that the new ICT structure was logical and conducive to operational effectiveness, efficiency and sound ICT governance. The new structure provides pathways and opportunities for career progression, reflects a client focus and provides role delineation and functional accountability.

Abstract Background Commercially available tests for Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) make test selection by the laboratory difficult due to the following unsatisfactory characteristics: long turnaround time, poor sensitivity, and/or poor specificity. The Singulex Clarity® C. diff toxins A/B assay (in development) is a rapid and automated immunoassay for the detection of C. difficile toxins A and B in stool, with analytical limits of detection for toxins A and B at 2.0 and 0.7 pg/mL, respectively. In this multicenter study, the clinical performance of the Singulex Clarity C. diff toxins A/B assay was compared with standalone PCR, a multistep algorithm with enzyme immunoassay (EIA) and PCR, and cell cytotoxicity neutralization assay (CCNA). Methods Fresh samples from 267 subjects with suspected CDI were tested at two sites (Minneapolis Medical Research Foundation and TriCore Reference Laboratories) with the Singulex Clarity assay, PCR (Xpert®C. difficile), and EIA (C. Diff Quik Chek Complete®) for GDH and toxin testing. The performance of the assays and multistep algorithms were evaluated against CCNA (Microbiology Specialists, Inc.). Results The overall CDI prevalence was 15.7%. The Singulex Clarity C. diff toxins A/B assay had 90.5% sensitivity and 96.0% specificity, with a 98.2% negative predictive value when compared with CCNA, and the Clarity assay’s AuROC was 0.9534. PCR had 90.5% sensitivity and 91.1% specificity. Compared with CCNA, the toxin EIA had 47.6% sensitivity and 100% specificity. Testing with a multistep algorithm using EIA with discordant results reflexed to PCR resulted in 85.7% sensitivity and 94.7% specificity. Conclusion The ultrasensitive Singulex Clarity C. diff toxins A/B assay is equivalent to the sensitivity of PCR while providing higher specificity. Compared with a multistep algorithm, the Clarity assay provides higher sensitivity and specificity while providing faster time-to-result in a simpler-to-understand, one-step reporting structure, allowing for a standalone, single-step solution for detection of C. difficile toxins in patients with suspected CDI.

Abstract Background Antimicrobial stewardship programs (ASPs) vary in terms of members and administrative (admin) structure. Joint Commission (TJC) has member requirements, but little is known about adherence or how ASP’s fit into hospitals’ admin structures. We reviewed the makeup and organization of ASP’s within a single healthcare system. Methods Survey of pharmacy directors or ASP pharmacists at 14 system hospitals in January 2019. Results All hospitals responded. All are TJC accredited. Thirteen (92%) had a local stewardship committee. Of these 13, 6 (42%) met quarterly, 4 (30%) monthly, and 3 (21%) every other month. 9 (69%) were a subcommittee of Pharmacy and Therapeutics, and 1 (11%) was a separate committee. 3 (23%) had no clearly defined reporting structure. Figure 1 shows ASP committee compositions. 9 (69%) had all TJC required members, if ID physician is considered a required member. All had pharmacy representation but only 4 (30%) had a pharmacist with ID training. Most had representation from ID physicians (10), Infection Prevention (12), other practitioners (11), and microbiology lab (9). Less than half had hospital admin members, and only 2 had nursing members. None had Information Technology (IT) representation. 12 (92%) created minutes, but only 4 (30%) forwarded minutes for review by hospital admin. Tables 1–3 describe relationships between hospitals based on bed size, if they submitted minutes for review, and if they had both an ID pharmacist and ID physician as members. No hospital indicated citations during a TJC visit about membership or organization. Conclusion ASPs within even a single health system vary as to membership and organizational structure. Some did not have all TJC required members. With few having admin representation or submitting minutes for admin review, it raises the concern of ASPs being ignored and possible noncompliance with TJC requirements regarding leadership support. ASP’s should actively work with hospital admins to ensure they have all needed representation and develop reporting mechanisms that keep hospital admins aware of their successes and needs. Lack of involvement from pharmacists with ID expertise, nursing, and IT are issues also. Larger evaluations are needed to determine whether membership and administrative structure can impact antimicrobial usage. Disclosures All authors: No reported disclosures.

An international project is proposed to create a map showing the world subdivided into macroecosystem regions within each of which ecological conditions are relatively uniform but which show certain natural potentials and limitations. The map should tend to supplement the Dasmann-Udvardy system of biogeographical provinces, being of higher resolution and greater ecological relevance. The primary purpose of the map will be to serve as a reporting structure for information about global resources and environment, though it will be based largely on published information.Maps based on classification of climatic types, vegetation formations, and soil groups, will be synthesized and generalized to delineate the areas to be shown on the ecoregion map. Its delineations will be refined through consultations with local experts, and through the interpretation of low-resolution remote-sensing imagery. The usefulness of the map is considered favourably in relation to national-level policy analysis, environmental monitoring, transfer of agricultural technology, compatibility with remote-sensing systems for monitoring environmental conditions, and agricultural activities, biomass estimation, macroreserve selection, and land management.
