Abstract 123: Attitudes and Availability of Palliative Care Within Institutions Providing Mechanical Circulatory Support Device Implantation: A National Survey Session Title: Abstract Poster Session I and Reception
Conclusion: Although selection/respondent bias is an important limitation of these results, these respondents agreed with and reported enacting ISHLT and CMS recommendations for including PC in MCSD evaluation. Nevertheless, there was less consensus on clinicians’ roles and confidence levels with providing PC following MCSD implantation and at end-of-life versus during the pre-implantation period.Clinical Implications: Findings from this survey can enable cardiovascular clinicians to evaluate how PC involvement impacts care for patients with MCSD; however, metrics to evaluate patient and system outcomes are yet to be...

Opioid Crisis Prompts CMS to Stop Asking Patients about Pain-Management Satisfaction
The CMS plans to eliminate questions about pain management from Medicare's value-based purchasing program, which rewards or penalizes hospitals for quality scores that are based in part on patient satisfaction. The proposal was outlined in the 2017 Hospital Outpatient Prospective Payment System proposed rule issued Wednesday.
Noting provider concerns that patient satisfaction survey questions about pain management may " unduly influence prescribing practices," the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services has proposed to strike that language from future surveys.
This comes after the OIG reported that 1 in 3 Medi...

In 2016, Medicaid and Medicare paid about 65% of all inpatient hospitalization costs for all-age persons hospitalized with epilepsy as the principal diagnosis.
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine both the distribution of payers for inpatient hospitalizations (all-ages) by principal diagnosis status (epilepsy versus nonepilepsy) and selected organizational- and community-level factors associated with hospitalizations using the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality's (AHRQ) Healthcare Utilization Project 2016 National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database. We compared cases with epilepsy (any ICD-10CM diagnostic code beginning with "G40") as a principal diagnosis ("epilepsy discharges") versus cases without epilepsy as the principal diagnosis ("nonepilepsy dis...

Measuring Medicaid Physician Participation Rates and Implications for Policy
Policy makers continue to debate Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act, and concerns remain about low provider participation in the program. However, there has been little research on how various measures of physician participation may reflect different elements of capacity for care within the Medicaid program and how these distinct measures correlate with one another across states. Our objectives were to describe several alternative measures of provider participation in Medicaid using recently publicly available data, to compare state rankings across these different metrics, and to discuss potential advantages ...

Thinking About Applying for CMS ’ New ET3 Model?
The EMS community has been buzzing since the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) announced the Emergency Triage, Treat and Transport (ET3) Model.

New Innovation to Address System Overload by Systemizing the Field Triage and Treatment of Non-Emergent Patients
Introductory Note from JEMS Editor Emeritus A.J. Heightman, MPA, EMT-P
JEMS has prided itself on introducing countless groundbreaking concepts and innovations to the EMS community since its inception in 1980. As an example, in May 1980, JEMS introduced Jack Stout’s Public Utility Model and System Status management which changed the way many EMS Systems operated. His concepts introduced new ways to maximize resources and revenue through changes in the deployment of crews and resources.
In Feb. of 1981, Dr. Jeff Clawson’s dispatch priority training and the Medical Priority Dispatch System (MPDS); the impact and des...

Division of Primary Care Services Between Physicians, Physician Assistants, and Nurse Practitioners for Older Patients With Diabetes
Team-based care involving physician assistants and/or nurse practitioners (PA/NPs) in the patient-centered medical home is one approach to improving care quality. However, little is known about how to incorporate PA/NPs into primary care teams. Using data from a large physician group, we describe the division of patients and services (e.g., acute, chronic, preventive, other) between primary care providers for older diabetes patients on panels with varying levels of PA/NP involvement (i.e., no role, supplemental provider, or usual provider of care). Panels with PA/NP usual providers had higher proportions of patients with M...
