1 INFObrief Deloitte 2012 Survey of U.S. Health Care Consumers Consumers utilization of the health care system Background This INFOBrief presents key findings about consumers utilization of the U.S. health care system in particular, their use of primary care and hospital services and consumers interest in and views of system of care innovations from the Deloitte 2012 Survey of U.S. Health Care Consumers. INFOBriefs also are available on the topics of consumers and health information technology; life sciences products and innovations; and consumers and health plans. For the full report: 2012 Survey of Health Care Consumers in the United States, 2012 Consumer Study Infographic, Five-Year Look Back, INFOBrief source questions and other INFOBrief reports, visit com/us/consumerstudies. Highlights: Satisfied with care, but thirsty for information Most consumers have primary care providers, most people use them, and most people are satisfied with the medical services they provide. What they would like from doctors and hospitals is transparency about care quality and fees. In 2012, most consumers (84 percent) said they consider themselves to be in good health but more than half (52 percent) say they have been diagnosed with one or more chronic conditions. Half (51 percent) currently take prescription medications. Nearly 8 in 10 consumers report having a primary care provider (PCP) and three in four consumers say they sought medical care from a doctor during the last 12 months. More than 4 in 10 consumers say they received care in a hospital in the last year. Consumer use of emergency care is on the rise 13 percent went to an emergency room in 2009 and 19 percent did so in Satisfaction with primary care providers is consistently high and has increased steadily since Many consumers are satisfied with their hospital care: 65 percent of those who had used any type of hospital service in the past year including inpatient, outpatient, or emergency room services say they were satisfied with the care received. When people expressed dissatisfaction with hospital care, the reasons they cited were related to cost, customer-service, and the style or manner of service delivery.

2 Consumers want transparency regarding fees and quality. Three out of four consumers believe providers should publish quality of care information on the Internet; two out of three believe that hospitals should publish their prices on the Internet. Younger age groups are particularly active in seeking online quality and price information. Alternative avenues of non-urgent care, such as retail clinics, pharmacies, and shopping malls, appeal to consumers who were surveyed particularly if they could obtain care there more cheaply and quickly. Many are open to using nonphysician providers, such as nurse practitioners or physician assistants, as their primary care providers or as an option if a doctor is not available.

3 Key Findings: Use of the health care system Figure 1: Health care use 2008 to % 83% In 2012, around 2 in 5 consumers say they received 78% care in a hospital in the last year, either as an 76% 61% outpatient (23 percent), emergency patient (19 percent), or inpatient (8 percent). In An 2012, increasing 76% of number consumers of report 65% respondents report using visiting emergency a doctor care, or rising other health from care 53% 13 percent in 2009 to 19 professional percent in in the past year, compared 51% with 83% in % In 2012, 2 38% in 3 say they had a wellness 39% check-up in the past 12 months and 2 31% in 5 say they had seen a doctor for an 26% illness or injury during that time. 23% 16% 19% 13% 8% 8% Percentage responding Yes * Hospital service figures for 2008 and 2009 are 1 year estimates calculated as half the reported 24-month rates Doctor visit (any purpose) Have primary care provider Doctor visit for well/check up Prescription medications Doctor visit for illness/injury Over-the-counter medications Hospital care (all types) * Outpatient care * Emergency care * Inpatient care *

4 Hospital care Use of emergency care is rising, while satisfaction with outpatient, inpatient, and emergency hospital care is decreasing. Quality and customer service issues are driving these attitudes more than cost. Figure 2: Hospital experience satisfaction % 71% Satisfaction with outpatient and inpatient care is high especially for those with insurance. 59% 55% 44% Satisfaction with emergency care is much lower, particularly for the uninsured. 41% Insured Uninsured Rating of 8, 9, or 10 on a 10-point scale where 10 is Completely satisfied Satisfied with outpatient hospital care (% of those who received) Satisfied with inpatient hospital care (% of those who received) Satisfied with emergency (ER) hospital care (% of those who received)

5 Hospital care Use of emergency care is rising, while satisfaction with outpatient, inpatient, and emergency hospital care is decreasing. Quality and customer service issues are driving these attitudes more than cost. Among consumers who say they were dissatisfied with the experiences they had in a hospital setting, dissatisfaction is driven more by quality and services factors (2 out of 3 consumers) than by cost (40 percent). Figure 3: Dissatisfaction with recent hospital care 3 Cost 41% Customer service Access/availability Coordination/follow-up 16% 24% 28% 32% 37% 42% 2 out of 3 consumers who were dissatisfied with their recent hospital care cited service related reasons (66% ER and 62% inpatient care) Treatment process 36% 39% Style/manner Skills/specialization 26% 35% 35% 2 out of 3 consumers who were dissatisfied with their recent hospital care cited quality related reasons (63% ER and 67% inpatient care) Infrastructure 17% 19% 8 Of those who were dissatsified with their hospital care experience Emergency Care Inpatient Care

6 Primary care A growing number of consumers are using nurse practitioners (NPs) or physician assistants (PAs) for primary care. Those who switch care providers do so for service, quality, or cost reasons. One in four Medicare enrollees and one in three consumers with commercial coverage experience issues with access. For the uninsured, access is a substantially greater problem. Figure 4: Perceived availability of primary care, by insurance source % 64% 7 64% Perceptions of availability and quality vary considerably by insurance status and source. For those without insurance, access is perceived to be substantially more difficult than for the insured. 69% 58% 58% 58% 61% 72% 39% 38% 46% 48% Medicare enrollees perceive greater access and shorter 48% waiting times for appointments than other 41% groups. 42% 37% 44% 39% 46% 27% 25% 26% Availability of doctors who are likely to accept my insurance Length of time have to wait to get appointment with primary care doctor Availability of places for care after normal business hours Quality of care provided by hospitals Quality of care provided by doctors Rating of 8, 9, or 19 on a 10-point scale where 10 is completely adequate Uninsured Medicaid Direct purchase Employer-sponsored Medicare

7 Primary care A growing number of consumers are using nurse practitioners (NPs) or physician assistants (PAs) for primary care. Those who switch care providers do so for service, quality, or cost reasons. One in four Medicare enrollees and one in three consumers with commercial coverage experience issues with access. For the uninsured, access is a substantially greater problem. Few switched primary care providers (8 percent) in 2012, a decline from 17 percent in 2008 (not shown).

8 Primary care A growing number of consumers are using nurse practitioners (NPs) or physician assistants (PAs) for primary care. Those who switch care providers do so for service, quality, or cost reasons. One in four Medicare enrollees and one in three consumers with commercial coverage experience issues with access. For the uninsured, access is a substantially greater problem. Figure 7: Type of provider,among consumers who have a PCP % 87% Consumers with a medical doctor (MD) as a PCP have declined over the past five years. During the same time period, use of a nurse practitioner (NP) or physician assistant (PA) as a PCP has increased from 4 percent to 10 percent. 1 4% 1% 1% MD NP/PA Other

9 Retail clinics Consumers are receptive to using retail clinics for minor medical problems. Why? Value, convenience, and access.

12 System of care innovations Consumers are open to using non-md providers for primary care.

15 Stakeholder considerations Consumers are eager for meaningful and satisfying health care experiences. Consumers are satisfied with their primary care providers. They re mostly satisfied with outpatient and inpatient hospital services, although this appears to be decreasing over time. And they feel a growing dissatisfaction with the emergency room which may be a reflection of increased ER use and a corresponding increase in waiting times and frustration. Nevertheless, the pattern is surprising. Satisfaction with individual elements of the health care system appears to be dropping, while a slight uptick is evident in satisfaction with the system overall. Understanding health care consumer satisfaction is important. The way that consumers view the system directly affects the way they use providers and seek care. System-level performance improvement initiatives such as evidence-based care and efficient delivery and administration of care are not on consumers radar except in the sense that they would like the health care system to offer better value for money spent, improved quality, and better access. Consumers would like quality of care ratings and price transparency to be readily available online. The consumer s experience is personal. People don t want to wait for care. They want a good experience with their provider and an affordable one. Consumers are increasingly willing to use other avenues for care if they more convenient or faster, and consumers are open to new service delivery models such as the use of non- MD professionals for primary care and retail clinics.

16 Stakeholder considerations Among important considerations: 1. Convenience and satisfaction drive the consumer experience. Optimal consumer experiences will help drive and consolidate patient loyalty. Four pressure points are shaping the current provider landscape: operating margins, clinical transformation, consumer expectations, and market rationalization. Likely outcomes include acceleration of consolidation, unprecedented alignment of hospitals, physicians and allied health, and substantial disruption in the delivery system. Health care providers confront a raft of opportunities and challenges consumer-oriented service strategies to position to drive patient loyalty and create an optimal consumer experience are of essence. 2. Capitalize on consumer interest in new and non-traditional delivery channels and service models particularly in primary care. High-quality care, convenience, ready access, and affordability all work to consolidate consumer interest and potentially, ongoing loyalty. New service delivery models draw upon a different mix of provider and organizational skills and competencies which have implications for staff recruitment and ongoing training as well as for organization s product and service mix. 3. An engaged health care consumer is central to successful strategies to re-focus the current health care system. Carrots and sticks to motivate and incentivize consumers to manage their own health will be necessary and organizations such as providers, health plans, and bio-pharma will need to devise and implement effective consumer engagement strategies. Specifically, tools and systems to encourage consumer engagement, patient self-management, and patient activation, and facilitate personal responsibility for managing health. In particular, devising strategies to take advantage of new technologies such as distance medicine and telemedicine, self-care, bio-monitoring, and e-visits that reduce demand for in-person visits to physicians, allied health clinics, and other ambulatory facilities.

17 About this research Wellness & healthy living Since 2008, the Deloitte Center for Health Solutions has annually polled a nationally representative sample of the U.S. adult population (up to 4,000 U.S. consumers) about their experiences and attitudes related to six domains. These online surveys have queried adults in varied health status, income, and insurance cohorts to gauge the degree to which individuals are engaging with the health care system as patients or consumers. In 2012, a nationally representative sample of 4,012 U.S. adults, aged 18 and older, was surveyed in February, using a webbased questionnaire. The sampling frame was based upon quotas reflective of the 2010 U.S. Census to ensure proportional representation of the nation s adult population with respect to age, gender, race/ethnicity, income, geography, insurance status (insured or uninsured), and primary insurance source (employer, direct purchase, Medicare, Medicaid, and other).* This marks a change from , when fewer quotas were used and supplemented by cell weighting to achieve a representative sample. In those earlier years, the survey results were weighted with respect to basic demographics (age, gender, race/ethnicity, and income), but not additional variables such as insurance status and source. To achieve even closer sample alignment with insurance status and source distributions in the U.S. population, a more extensive set of quotas was used in 2012 and additional weighting was not necessary to achieve a representative sample. Differences reported in insurance status and source between and 2012 are due largely to this adjustment in sampling. Health policy Consumer Survey: six domains of health care Health insurance Alternative health services The margin of error is +/- 1.6% at the.95 confidence level. The survey consisted of 65 questions addressing specific behaviors and attitudes, with 39 potential follow-up questions and an additional 20 questions asking about demographic and healthrelated characteristics. English and Spanish versions were available. Participants were asked about behaviors before attitudes within each topic area to reduce response bias. Information resources Traditional health services * Source: Quotas for insurance status and insurance source distributions were based on KCMU/Urban Institute analysis of the 2011 ASEC Supplement to the CPS, presented in slides published by the Kaiser Family Foundation (
