Yes No Yes, but plan to retire in less than 5 years Significant changes in Medicare payments are coming in 2019 based on your performance in 2017 Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (MACRA) Repeals 1997 SGR and PFS Updates Bipartisan law signed 4/16/ to 37 House 92 to 8 Senate It will not be repealed.

STUDY Complete the analysis of the data Compare data to predictions Summarize what is learned PLAN Objective Questions and predictions Plan to carry out the cycle (who, what, where, when) Plan for data collection DO Carry out the plan Document the problems and unexpected observations Begin analysis of the data Population-based Approach Identify patients in priority populations and then offer a variety of services to meet their needs Each population-based program has measurable goals and plans for improvement which include: Defining eligibility criteria for the identified population Defining evidence-based guidelines to guide care Defining measures to track performance Developing tools to assist practitioners in caring for these members, such as registries, panel reports, pamphlets, and other self-management tools Improving Hypertension Control Defining the Population of Focus Aim Statement All Clinic Patients Adult Patients Adults on Medicare Hypertension Hypertensio n not controlled Population of Focus Outcome Measure Denominator Outcome Measure Numerator Specific Measureable Attainable Relevant/realistic Timely 5

6 Aim Statement Examples A. We will increase the amount of patients with blood pressure under control among our clinic patients. (weak) B. In three months, patients who have uncontrolled blood pressure will be requested to perform self monitoring of blood pressures. (better) C. By December 2017, we will increase the number of people with hypertension who have a normal blood pressure from 50% to 65% by utilizing a nurse visit protocol (strong) Receptionist Nurse Physician Lab Health Education Referrals Billing Desk Work Flow Swim Lanes Swim Lanes Check In Vitals taken performs exam performs UA, A1C rooms patient reviews labs, writes orders education provided process referral pays bill books next appt 32 Diagnosis of Hypertension Clinic Visit Population Segmentation Blood Pressure Measured On Medications Blood Pressure Under Control Measure in 6 Months Quantifiable Data Segment : used to monitory change in improvement Track When Next Due Root Cause Analysis Example Aim Statement BP monitored Aim Statement On medication 90% of Population of Focus will have an clinic By the end of December, 2017, the 65% of patients visit within the next 6 months with blood pressure under control Baseline 61% Baseline 50% under control Root Cause Analysis BP monitored Root Cause Analysis On a medication Short Staff Failure to keep appointments/take meds/follow diet Availability of equipment Transportation Lack of standing orders Provider inertia Provider inconsistency Family support patient stubbornness Not maximizing the use of pt.

Make decisions about roles, content, meds, more Workflow of BP measurement and recording What lifestyle advice will you give? By whom? When? How? Which medications will you use and at what dosages? What are your target goals and for what ages? How often to re-check and titrate? Who does this? How? How will you define and manage resistance? Track implementation weekly; share monthly control rates Celebrate your success along the way 7
