9 In Broader Comparison, HQID Hospitals Excel HQID participants avg. 6.8% higher than Non-Participants National Leaders in Quality Performance HQID hospitals have higher quality ratings than national hospitals overall Avg. improvement for HQID participants = 9.7% Avg. improvement for Nonparticipants = 7.4% New England Journal of Medicine publication by Lindenauer et al. (February 2007) found that hospitals engaged in P4P achieved quality scores 2.6 to 4.1 percentage points above other hospitals due solely to the impact of P4P incentives. A composite of 19 measures shared in common between HQID and Hospital Compare shows P4P hospitals performing above the nation as a whole 9

15 Improvement and Savings Avg. cost improvement across all clinical areas $1,063 Clinical Area Improvement AMI $1,599 CABG $1,579 Pneumonia $811 Heart Failure $1,181 Hip Replacement $744 Knee Replacement $463 Avg. improvement in mortality across four clinical areas 1.87% Clinical Area Improvement AMI 2.27% CABG 0.95% Pneumonia 2.39% Heart Failure 1.86% If all hospitals in the nation were to achieve this improvement, the estimated cost savings would be greater than $4.5 billion annually with estimated 70,000 lives saved per year 15

16 Findings: Mortality, Complications, Length of Stay and Costs all go down for Heart Attack (AMI) Median Cost per Case over 3 years (AMI) Q4-03 Q1-04 Q2-04 Q3-04 Q4-04 Q1-05 Q2-05 Q3-05 Q4-05 Q1-06 Q2-06 Q

17 Conclusions 1. Creates a performance improvement engine Public reporting Financial incentives 2. Aligns incentives within hospitals 3. Re-aligns payment incentives in Medicare From rewarding more procedures to rewarding quality procedures 4. Improved quality is associated with saving lives and reducing costs 17

18 Policy Recommendations 1. Create a positive incentive to improve performance. All unallocated funds must be used to reward top performers and improvers There must be an annual actuarial assessment to identify savings, which should be used to fund a bonus pool Phase in so that hospitals can realistically achieve the benchmarks 2. Align physician and hospital interests. Assure alignment between physician and hospital measures Hospitals should be able to share money from the bonus pool with their physicians 3. Set benchmarks based on real world evidence from the CMS/Premier HQID project. 4. VBP should be irrevocably tied to public reporting. The Hospital Compare Web site must be more user friendly Hospital Compare should include reporting of the hospital s performance in delivering all recommended quality measures for each clinical condition All new measures should be tested and publicly reported use in a VBP program 5. Government should direct attention and resources to lower performing hospitals QIOs should be directed to focus attention on non-performing hospitals 18
