4 PCMH & ACO Definitions 4

5 High-Level Definitions Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) ~ Model of primary care high performing practice ~ Based on the Joint Principles of the PCMH ~ Key elements accessibility, comprehensiveness, coordination of care, continuity of care, team work, population management (practice level) Accountable Care Organization (ACO) subset of Clinical Integration ~ Local accountability for a defined population quality, access, cost, patient satisfaction ~ Aligned incentives across physicians, hospitals, other clinicians & providers of health care ~ Applies the Joint Principles of the PCMH across an entire system of care ~ Requires clinical integration (Advisory Board Definition) - Network of physicians working in collaboration - Physician-led initiatives to improve the quality & efficiency of care. Strong management and health information technology support. - Legal basis for collective negotiation by independent physicians on basis of improved clinical outcomes & efficiencies. 5

6 Current State of Primary Care 6

7 Primary Care is Stressed The demands on primary care are high Workforce shortage ~ 78 million baby boomers reach age 65 beginning in 2011 ~ Estimated shortage of 40,000-60,000 primary care physicians over the next 10 years Procedure-oriented payment system works against primary care Care coordination & population management are lacking Appointment wait times are too long Health care reform expanded coverage does not expand access and does not address work force 40% family physicians considered leaving their practices in 2010 (M3 USA poll of 3,729 FPs) 7

12 New Direction Patient-Centered Medical Home 12

13 Joint Principles of Patient- Centered Medical Home Personal physician Physician-directed medical practice Team approach Whole person orientation Coordination of care Quality & safety Enhanced access Payment for added value 13

14 Practice-based Care Team Great Outcomes Health Information Technology Practice Management Practice Organization Health IT Care Management Quality and Safety Quality Measures Patient Experience Access to Care and Information Continuity of Care Services Practice Services Patient-Centered Medical Home = High Performing Primary Care Practice 14

15 Payment Reform Advocacy Blended Payment Model Pay for Performance- Clinical and Patient Experience Pay for Performance- Clinical and Patient Experience Fee for Service for Visits/Procedures Fee for Service for Visits/Procedures Care Coordination Payment (monthly payment based upon the level of PCMH) Care Coordination Payment (monthly payment based upon the level of PCMH) 15

16 Today Tomorrow Traditional Practice My patients are those who make appointments with me Patients chief complaint determines care Care is determined by today s problem and time available today PCMH Our patients are those who are registered in our medical home We systematically assess all our patients health needs to plan care Care is determined by a proactive plan to meet patients needs without visits Care varies by scheduled time and memory or skill Care is standardized according to evidence-based of the doctor guidelines Patients are responsible for coordinating their own care I know I deliver high-quality care because I m well trained Acute care is delivered during the next available appointment and to walk-ins It s up to the patient to tell us what happened to them Clinic operations center on meeting the doctor s needs A team of professionals coordinates all patients care We measure our quality and make rapid changes to improve it Acute care is delivered by open-access and nonvisit contacts We track tests and consultations, and follow-up after ED and hospital visits A multidisciplinary team works at the top of our licenses/training to serve patients 16

17 Evidence for the PCMH Just Keeps Growing 17

18 PCMH Pilot Outcomes Pilot Incentives Hospitalization Reduction ED Visit Reduction Total Savings (per patient) Colorado Medical Home for Children Community Care of North Carolina P4P 18% $215-$1,129 PMPM payment 40% 16% $516 Geisinger (Proven Health Navigator) P4P PMPM payment Shared savings 18% $500 Group Health Cooperative PMPM payment 16% 29% $10 PMPM Intermountain Health Care (Care Management Plus) P4P % 0.7-3% $640-$1,650 MeritCare Health System & BCBS of ND PMPM payment Shared savings 6% 24% $530 Driving Quality Gains and Cost Savings Through Adoption of Medical Homes, Health Affairs $119K savings/pcp

19 Patient-Centered Care = Decreased Health Care Utilization 509 adult patients, 1 year study Davis Observation Codes measure patient-centeredness Controlled for sex, age, education, income, self-reported health status, obesity, alcohol abuse, & smoking Patient-centeredness above median associated with: ~ Decreased visits for specialty care ~ Decreased hospitalizations ~ Decreased laboratory & diagnostic tests ~ Decreased total charges 34% ($1,435 vs. $948) Bertakis et al., JABFM, May-June,

20 TransforMed Small Practice Results 2-year outcomes data 36 unrelated, independent practices Improved Finances ~ Practice revenue 11% increase ~ Physician salaries 14% increase ~ These results are without payment reform Improved Satisfaction ~ Physician satisfaction 58% increase ~ Staff satisfaction 66% increase Quality ~ One year data indicates that independent practices can improve quality while lowering costs consistent with results from large, integrated systems 20

21 PCMH Pilot Outcomes Physicians & Staff Happier staff Happier physicians Increased revenue Increased take-home pay in today s payment environment Team-based care Relatively rapid returns from transformation Increased standardization of care Patients Improved satisfaction Improved preventive care Improved quality measures Reduced ED utilization Reduced readmissions Reduced hospitalizations Longer team-based appointments Enhanced patient communication Reduced per capita cost for certain chronic conditions 21

22 Comprehensive Primary Care Initiative (October, 2011) 5-7 Regional markets ~ 75 primary care practices in each market ~ 200 Medicare patients/practice ~ EHR or registry; preference given to EHR MU Stage 1 Public- & private-payer partnership ~ 60% practices revenue generated from participating payers ~ letter of intent from payers by November 15 Medicare/Medicaid payment reform for primary care ~ Traditional fee-for-service payments ~ Risk adjusted care coordination PMPM fee average $20 (range $8-$40) reduces to average $15 in years 3 & 4 ~ Shared savings increased reliance in years 3 & 4 Operational Summer 2012 CMS has authority to expand to across the country if the initiative is shown to improve quality & lower costs 22

23 Path to Clinical Integration & Accountabilty 23

24 PCMH. Then what? What is missing? 24

25 Triple Aim Improved care for individuals patient experience Improved health for populations Reduced cost 25

26 PPACA Implications for Physicians Improved access ~ Include teams of non-physicians ~ Engage & monitor patients at home Incentives to change clinical practice ~ Exceptional patient experience ~ Shared clinical goals ~ Shared decision making ~ Proactively manage preventive care ~ Expand use of EHRs ~ Collaboration with hospitals dramatically reduce readmissions ~ Patient-centered outcomes research to tailor care Removing barriers ~ Administrative simplification 26 Annals of Internal Medicine, August 23, 2010 Robert Kocher, MD; Ezekiel Emanuel, MD; Nancy-Ann DeParle, JD

27 Evolution of Care All Physicians Team-based care Focus on the top of license, training & interest Improved communication patient engagement Clinical integration Patient engagement including those who need encouragement/incentive to engage Patient-centered aligned incentives outcomes, quality, cost Population management 27 External accountability outcomes, quality, cost Payment reform

28 Clinical Integration Accountable Care What is still missing?

32 Clinical Integration Clinical Integration is NOT Physician employment A return to capitation of the 80s Electronic health records IPA/PHO messenger contract model Gimmick to bypass anti-trust law Program led by the hospital Clinical Integration is A network of physicians working in collaboration usually with a hospital A program of physician-led initiatives to improve the quality and efficiency of patient care. ~ Strong management and health information technology support. Legal basis for collective negotiation by independent physicians on the basis of improved clinical outcomes and efficiencies. Advisory Board,

33 Essential Elements for CI/ACO Physician commitment & leadership ~ Governance ~ PCMH ~ senior-level, full-time medical director ~ Culture of teamwork & shared commitment Financial resources ~ CMS estimate - $1.8 million to start ~ AHA-sponsored study - $ $26.1 million to start Clinical guidelines & standardized care across the continuum of care Data collection & analysis performance measurement Population management ~ Early identification of high-risk individuals Patient engagement ~ Proactive interactions Payment reform ~ Aligned financial incentives

34 Capitation vs. ACO Economics Management Environment Capitation Era Discounts Withholds Lower utilization Prevention Patients enroll into a gatekeeper model Booming economy Limited informatics ACO - Clinical Integration Contracts at current price Incentives Appropriate utilization Chronic disease management Attribution Relationships then care coordination Recession Robust informatics 34
