1 KHCA Annual Meeting C3 Climb Every Mountain: Improve Every OASIS Outcome Presented by Jennifer Warfield, BSN, HCS-D, COS-C Education Director, PPS Plus September 21, 2017
2 Climb Every Mountain: Improve Every OASIS Outcome Objectives Understand the impact of OASIS responses on Outcome Measures. Recognize the OASIS items and the item intent that affects Home Health Compare Reports. Recognize the OASIS items and the item intent that affects Star Rating Scores and VBP Scores. CMS' Thoughts on Pay for Performance The goal is that, no matter where the care is delivered, it is supported by a payment system that rewards providers who deliver the highest-quality outcomes. Andy Slavitt, Acting CMS Administrator HOME HEALTH COMPARE Quality Reporting The reporting of quality data by home health agencies (HHAs) is mandated by Section 1895(b)(3)(B)(v)(II) of the Social Security Act ( the Act ). This statute requires that each home health agency shall submit to the Secretary such data that the Secretary determines are appropriate for the measurement of health care quality. Such data shall be submitted in a form and manner, and at a time, specified by the Secretary for purposes of this clause. OASIS reporting is mandated in the Medicare regulations, which requires HHAs to submit OASIS assessments and Home Health Care Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems Survey (HH CAHPS) data to meet the quality reporting requirements. The requirement that HHAs report quality data to CMS in order to receive the full annual payment update. (70%) HHAs that do not meet the reporting requirements are subject to a two (2%) percentage point reduction to the HH market basket increase. Such procedures shall ensure that a home health agency has the opportunity to review (via Casper Reports) the data that is to be made public with respect to the agency prior to such data being made public. To calculate quality measures from OASIS data, there must be a complete quality episode, which requires both a Start of Care (initial assessment) or Resumption of Care OASIS assessment and a Transfer or Discharge OASIS assessment. Failure to submit sufficient OASIS assessments to allow calculation of quality measures, including transfer and discharge assessments, is failure to comply with the CoPs. HHAs do not need to submit OASIS data for those patients who are excluded from the OASIS submission requirements. Exclusions Patients receiving only non-skilled services; Patients for whom neither Medicare nor Medicaid is paying for HH care (patients receiving care under a Medicare or Medicaid Managed Care Plan are not excluded from the OASIS reporting requirement); Patients receiving pre- or post-partum services; or Patients under the age of 18 years. 1
3 Home Health Compare (HHC) There are 3 types of Outcome measures used in the HHC: 1. Improvement measures (i.e., measures describing a patient s ability to get around, perform activities of daily living, and general health); 2. Measures of potentially avoidable events (i.e., markers for potential problems in care), and 3. Utilization of care measures (i.e., measures describing how often patients access other health care resources either while home health care is in progress or after home health care is completed). Included Measures 37 risk-adjusted measures including: + Outcome measures + Process measures + Potentially avoidable events 9 publicly reported measures including two measures which are claims based Improvement Measures Measures the percentage of patients where the response on the discharge or transfer OASIS is numerically lower than the response on the SOC or ROC. Stabilization of measure while not technically a dinge, is not an improvement therefore does not help your scores. Higher numbers are preferable Improvement in: + Management of oral medications (M2020) + Ambulation or locomotion (M1860) + Pain interfering with activity (M1242) + Status of surgical wound (M1342) + Bathing (M1830) + Transferring (M1850) + Dyspnea (M1400) Utilization of Care Measures Claims-based utilization measures are a subset of outcome measures used in the HH QRP. They are calculated based on the first home health claim that starts an episode of care for a patient and include negative events such as hospitalization or emergency department care within a certain time frame. They evaluate the rate of potential problems in care that are indicated by the utilization of specific services. Lower values are preferable to higher values because they indicate fewer negative events for patients at that home health agency. HHAs with compliance levels below 70% for this period will see a two percentage point reduction in their annual payment update (APU) for calendar year (CY) The following two claims-based utilization measures are currently reported in Home Health Compare + Acute Care Hospitalization (ACH) + Emergency Department (ED) Use without Hospitalization 2
4 Process Measures Process measures evaluate the rate of home health agency use of specific evidence-based processes of care. The HH QRP process measures focus on high-risk, high-volume, problem-prone areas for home health care. These include measures pertaining to all or most home care patients, such as timeliness of home care admission, immunizations, and use of risk assessment tools for falls, pain, depression, and pressure ulcer development. There are also measures for specific diagnoses (heart failure, diabetes, pressure ulcers) and measures of care planning and clinical interventions delivered for patients experiencing certain symptoms (pain, depression). Not risk-adjusted because the processes being measured are appropriate for all patients included in the denominator (patients for whom the measure is not appropriate are excluded). Process measures: + Timely Initiation of Care (M0102 & M0104) + Depression assessment conducted (M1730) + Fall risk assessment (M1910) + Diabetic foot care (M2250b) + Flu vaccine received for current year (M1046) + Pneumonia vaccine ever received (M1051) + Medication teaching (M2016) VALUE-BASED PURCHASING (VBP) The overall purpose of the HHVBP Model is to improve the quality and delivery of home health care services to Medicare beneficiaries with specific goals to: + Provide incentives for better quality care with greater efficiency; + Study new potential quality and efficiency measures for appropriateness in the home health setting; and, + Enhance the current public reporting process. Included Measures 3 Process measures assess the performance of activities that have been demonstrated to contribute to positive health outcomes for patients. 9 Outcome measures refer to the effects that care had on patients 5 HHCAHPS measures assess patients' perception of the quality of care they have received and their satisfaction with the care experience in the HH setting 3 new measures reported through a special web portal Process Measures Title Influenza Immunization Received for Current Flu Season Pneumonia Vaccine Ever Received Drug Education on All Meds Provided to Patient/ Caregiver During All Episodes OASIS Item Data Source M1046 (Influenza vaccine received) M1051 (Pneumonia vaccine) M2015 (Patient caregiver drug education interventions) 3

Advance Care Plan Data Source New measure, reported through web portal New measure, reported through web portal New measure, reported through web portal VBP Initiative Details Effective January 1, 2016, The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Innovation (CMS Innovation Center) implemented the Home Health Value-Based Purchasing (HHVBP) Model. This new model is designed to support greater quality and efficiency of care among Medicare-certified Home Health Agencies (HHA) across the nation. The HHVBP Model was developed in an effort to build a health care system that delivers better care, spends health care dollars more wisely, and results in healthier people and communities. Demo began January 1, 2016 and runs through CY 2022 Payment adjustments tied to quality performance +/- 3% in the first year HHAs are scored based on quality of care delivered to all patients receiving services compared to: - performance of their peers within their state, defined by the same size cohort, and - their own past performance on the measures. All Medicare-certified HHAs providing services in Massachusetts, Maryland, North Carolina, Florida, Washington, Arizona, Iowa, Nebraska, & Tennessee will compete on value in the HHVBP model, where payment is tied to quality performance. 4
6 VBP Savings Impact HH VBP will reduce or increase Medicare payments by 3% the first year and will eventually increase to 8% in subsequent years, depending on degree of quality performance in selected measures. Adjustment Schedule Performance Years Calendar Year for Payment Adjustment Maximum Payment Adjustment (up or down) % % % % % 3 New Agency Reported Measures New measures are worth 10% of Total Performance Score (TPS). All or nothing scoring. Each is worth 10 points for submission, if not submitted, worth 0 points. Agency can earn 0, 10, 20, or 30 points total. There is no penalty for not submitting/reporting the new measures, however the HHA that does not report data on all three new measures can earn only up to 90% of the total possible points for the Total Performance Score. STAR RATING Agencies are rated on: 9 measures 3 process measures 6 outcome measures Selected Measures Process Measures Timely Initiation of Care Drug Education on all Medications Provided to Patient/Caregiver Influenza Immunization Received for Current Flu Season Outcome Measures Improvement in Ambulation Improvement in Bed Transferring Improvement in Bathing Improvement in Pain Interfering With Activity Improvement in Dyspnea Acute Care Hospitalization Star Rating CMS established the Home Health Compare (HHC) as a key tool for consumers to use when choosing a home health care provider. It is designed to be an easy-toaccess, convenient source of authoritative information on provider quality. However, there are so many measures and often difficult to determine which ones affect your needs. CMS has begun adding new tools to HHC in order to make the information there easier to use star ratings that will summarize some of the current measures of health care provider performance that the site already offers. 5
7 The star ratings are an additional tool to support consumers health care decisionmaking; none of the current information on the site is being removed. Methodology The Quality of Patient Care Star Rating methodology includes 9 of the 24 currently reported process and outcome quality measures. These measures were chosen based on the following criteria: + The measure should apply to a substantial proportion of home health patients and have sufficient data to report for a majority of home health agencies. + The measure should show a reasonable amount of variation among home health agencies and it should be possible for a home health agency to show improvement in performance. + The measure should have high face validity and clinical relevance. + The measure should be stable and not show substantial random variation over time. The Quality of Patient Care Star Ratings were first published on Home Health Compare (HHC) in July, 2015, and will be updated quarterly thereafter based on the new data that are published on HHC. Provider preview reports showing the Quality of Patient Care Star Ratings and rating calculations for each agency are distributed to each agency approximately 3.5 months before the ratings are published on HHC. Agencies have several weeks to review and, if they can submit evidence that the data used to calculate the measures were inaccurate or incomplete to the extent that their star rating was affected, they can request CMS review of their rating. Results The Star Rating is a summary measure of a home health agency s performance based on how well it provides patient care in nine areas. Star Ratings are different from the consumer ratings that are seen on websites or apps for products like books, restaurants, or hotels that reflect averages of consumer opinions. Across the country, most home health agencies fall in the middle with 3 stars delivering good quality of care. A rating of 1 or 2 stars means that the agency s performance was below the average of other agencies on selected measures; it doesn t necessarily mean care is poor. A rating of 4 or 5 stars means that the agency s performance was above the average of other agencies on selected measures.
