16 Cut Through the Volume: Lear What Value Based Paymet Really Meas for Your Orgaizatio This is the first time i the history of the Medicare program that HHS has set explicit goals for alterative paymet models ad value-based paymets. -Press release (Jauary 26, 2015) from the U.S. Departmet of Health ad Huma Services (HHS). Both the state ad federal govermets are pushig ambitious agedas to promote value over volume i our health care system ad the stakes are high for home care. As oe ews article proclaimed, the trip toward Value Based Paymet (VBP) systems will, ideed, be a bumpy ride. Iroically, the discussio about achievig value over volume has bee overwhelmig i its abudace ad sheer volume of iformatio: a cascade of techical desig iformatio from the state s Roadmap plaig process pages of aalysis from Washigto thik-taks ad the clamor of top govermet officials givig word to this ageda at every tur. The Obama ad Cuomo Admiistratios are both movig quickly o these iitiatives, icludig: a federal VBP pilot program i ie states; the pavig of New York s VBP Roadmap as a circuit extesio of its Delivery System Reform Icetive Paymet (DSRIP) program; cotiued emphasis o Accoutable Care Orgaizatios ad budled paymet arragemets; ad the Comprehesive Care for Joit Replacemet Model (CJR), which bega i parts of the state ad atio o April 1. These ad other VBP policy costructs will challege home care providers; but they also provide opportuities i a icreasigly itegrated health care eviromet. Providers must lear about how VBP is structured, which quality ad outcome measures actually matter most uder VBP, ad how to positio themselves for VBP by makig cliical ad operatioal chages. This must-atted program will provide a importat table-settig for a series of drill-dow workshops that HCA is lauchig to help agecies get ready for a VBP state ad federal policy eviromet. The problem with the majority of how health care is paid for today is that the more you do, the more you get paid, whether or ot the patiet got better Really very little of our total paymet i health care is actually tied to performace, ad we eed to chage that there is goig to be cosolidatio, there s goig to have to be closure of certai services, ad those services are goig to have to be replaced with other services that better meet the eeds of the commuity. -State Medicaid Director Jaso Helgerso, quoted i The Bumpy Ride to Value- Based Health Care, City ad State Magazie (May 27, 2015) Jue 17, DoubleTree by Hilto Hotel Nauet State Route 59 - Nauet, NY 10954
