4 Agenda Signature Bundled Payment Overview Technology and Analytics Physician Engagement and Reporting Results and Next Steps 4

5 Learning Objectives Identify factors impacting physician performance Examine development of a physician performance analytics tool Analyze the benefits of physician performance analytics 5

6 Signature Medical Group Multi-specialty physician group in Missouri (150 physicians) Vision Physician-led healthcare Value-based payment activity ACO Maternity Care Home Medicare Advantage Bundled Payment for Care Improvement (BPCI) Why participate Awardee Convener 6

7 Signature BPCI Overview BPCI Awardee Convener 50+ orthopedic groups 2,000 physicians Geography 26 states and 60 cities 50,000+ annual episodes 7

8 BPCI overview Retrospective bundled payment covering 90 days Major orthopedic cases including total joints, spine, and trauma Historically orthopedic physicians have not been responsible for care beyond the surgery Bundled payments align with CMS goals to reduce costs, improve outcomes, and improve quality of care Goal = care redesign to achieve better outcomes at a lower cost 8

9 Care Redesign Goals Shift paradigm from specific clinical focus (surgery) to comprehensive focus (episode) Establish integrated biopsychosocial care model through out the entire episode Use evidence-based medicine to reduce/eliminate over utilized and unnecessary services, reduce adverse outcomes, and lower cost Use best practices to support standardized care pathways while maintaining physician decision making and individualized care plans Health IT value proposition Improve care management and reduce fragmentation with care management platform Improve physician performance with unbiased, targeted, and actionable analytics 9

10 Case management model Patients receive case management throughout episode Pre-operative phase Acute phase Post acute phase 2-8 weeks 1-4 days 90 days Risk assessments Surgery Care coordination Care plan development Discharge plan Biopsychosocial care model designed to comprehensively address patients needs through a physician-led care model 10

11 BPCI Results Based on 2015 data for Signature BPCI participants Post acute care cost reduction 33% nationally Adverse outcomes reduction 18% to 41% nationally Variety of pricing benchmarks high and low No change in patient population 11

12 No Changes in Patient Population 12 Baseline

13 Technology Needs 1. Care management system Track patient Record patient information Initially outsourced brought in house (CareMosaic) 2. Analytics Medicare claims data Clinical data Initially outsourced brought in house (CareAnalytics) 13

14 Analytical Needs and Solution Identify opportunities to reduce overutilization and unnecessary cost Identify which episodes to enter into risk Focus areas and key performance indicators Solution outsourced data analytics to outside company Data files large and complex Experience Reports Broad and general dashboards Static information 14

15 Early Report Examples Pros Provide information on major areas which needed focus Identified general comparisons and benchmarks Cons Too broad not specific Did not provided information to recommend specific actions Overwhelming and difficult to manipulate 15

18 Analytics Improvements Brought analytics in-house Hired IT and developers with prior managed care experience Integrated IT, clinicians, and admin into workgroups Used focused personnel Identified information which would Motivate physicians Impact case managers Assist management Address specific analytic needs and provide real time analytics Integrated analytics, reporting, and care management into one platform 18

19 Key Performance Indicators Categories - incident rate and frequency IRF (inpatient rehab facility) SNF (skilled nursing facility) HHA (home health agency) OPT (outpatient physical therapy) Readmit Incident rate the percentage of patients utilizing a service Frequency the number of occurrences when a service is used 19

20 Reports 1. DRG/Episode 2. Physician scorecard 3. PAC Facility (post acute providers) 4. Readmission detail 5. Utilization management 6. Post acute provider scorecards (SNF, HHA, and OPT) 20

26 Provider Engagement Initial engagement Face-to-face meeting with potential client/provider Review DRG/Episode analysis to demonstrate opportunity Ongoing engagement Regular webex meetings every 2 weeks Attendees physician champion, case manager, clinical lead, and/or admin Review reports 1-5 Identify focus area of call and align data review i.e. desire to reduce IRF utilization for Physician 10. Provide information on similar physicians and patient populations and show comparable data. Demonstrate alternatives and the benefits. Bi-annual or quarterly face-to-face meetings Monthly case studies with patient sub-claim level detail. Reviewed with physician, physician champion, case manager and clinical lead Quarterly meetings for case review and best practices with other providers either regionally or nationally 26

27 Multi-layered Physician Engagement Case Mgr. or Clinical Lead Meets regularly to review data and outcomes. Offer suggestions for improvement and alternatives Physician Physician Peer-to-peer: With similar or well respected peers compare: benchmarks, goals, resources Admin Provide easy to follow data analytics reports Always have detailed data available to address any question 27

28 Physician alignment Physicians are key to successful bundled payment programs Communication is essential Communicate results once a month Timely performance results Actionable solutions Tied to bonus and money Transparency 28
