12 Background Strong primary care focus since 1996 large primary care practice joined Implemented group-wide EMR in 2000 Logician/Centricity Created internal scorecards in 2005 reviewing quality of care by provider Diabetes perfect care Hypertension control

13 Background Carilion Health System became Increased physician leadership and a focus on being an Accountable Care Organization implemented EPIC system-wide opened a medical school with Virginia Tech entered MSSP program

14 Clinic Transition Goals Broaden the number of specialties working at Carilion Standardize our primary care model (PCMH) Optimize referrals within the physician group Fully utilize EMR to enhance communication Strengthen our patient-centered approach

15 Silos & Synergies Discovered other groups working in the system on similar work Focused on specific P4P metrics Developing protocols and processes Somewhat in silos Opportunities existed for working together Proposal approved to link these efforts under one Accountable Care umbrella

36 Insights from Case Studies of Primary Care Transformation within ACOs James Colbert, MD Senior Medical Director, Verisk Health Consultant, ACO Learning Network, Brookings Instition Instructor in Medicine, Harvard Medical School

37 Physician-Led ACOs Current Issues Very little literature exists on implementation efforts leading to the success of physician-led ACOs A study released recently revealed common gaps in readiness of organizations to become successful ACOs: Lack of human and fiscal resources Few care management tools Underutilization of health information technology Communication challenges Lack of knowledge regarding quality performance measures Source: Steckler, Feldman and Watts. A Physician-led Accountable Care Organization: From Award to Implementation. American Journal of Managed Care September 24,

38 Focus on Primary Care Transformation Primary care is central to the identity of a physician-led ACO Primary care + ACO = Success Mixed results from studies of financial return on investment for PCMH Yet, data suggest tying medical home to shared savings model may be a winning combination Brookings Institution Partnership with Patient-Centered Primary Care Collaborative PCPCC participated as reviewer for 2014 Brookings Institution ACO Implementation Guide Resulting discussions led to the idea of a collaboration between the ACO Learning Network and PCPCC 38

39 Primary Care Transformation within ACOs Building on work done for the physician-led ACO toolkit, the Brookings Institution s ACO Learning Network delved deeper into how ACOs are engaged in advancing primary care to identify best practices and lessons learned. Purpose To showcase examples of primary care transformation efforts that are taking place within accountable care arrangements Methods Stakeholder interviews Literature reviews Outcome A series of five case studies highlighting how ACOs are using advanced primary care approaches to achieve the goals of improved quality and reduced costs 39

40 Five Highlighted Organizations Adirondacks ACO - Northern New York Anne Arundel Medical Center - Eastern Maryland Bon Secours Medical Group - Virginia Hennepin County Medical Center Minnesota WellSpan - Pennsylvania 40

41 Common Themes Organizational Commitment to Primary Care Transformation: All five organizations had core commitment from leadership to support primary care innovation Many partnered with commercial payer to fund incentives for PCPs to improve quality Staffing Changes to Support Team-Based Primary Care: Medical assistants Data Analysts Dedicated RN Care Managers Health Coaches Pharmacists Behavioral Health Professionals Development of Care Management Programs: Models included embedded CM, home visits, call centers Assist with disease management, coordination of care, connections with community resources 41

42 Common Themes Implementing Transitions-of-Care Programs Successful discharge plan involves coordination of care between inpatient medical team and patient-centered medical home Elements include patient education, post-discharge phone call, visit with PCP Strategic use of Medicare TCM codes Provider Engagement Initiatives Importance of physician champions Helping clinicians to realize the value of care managers and physician extenders Collaborating around quality initiatives Gaining support of hospital partners and treating them as colleagues 42

43 Common Themes Engaging the Entire Team While strong physician leadership is necessary, it is not sufficient to truly transform care. Practice office staff support is integral. Building Health IT Infrastructure All organizations cited the need for improved health IT to enable population health management While many organizations initially used internal funds to improve health IT and data analytic capabilities, some also took advantage of external grants. Governance that Involves Clinicians, Patients, and Families Primary care clinicians as essential members of central leadership Patients and families should be active participants in governance 43

44 Policy Implications How should primary care delivery reform be funded? Commercial payers Large healthcare systems CMS Rethinking incentives for primary care practitioners Motivating providers to change practice patterns, implement team-based care How do we attract primary care team leaders? Support for primary care health IT and analytics Managing data is key to successful primary care and population health How best to integrate specialty care into the ACO Medical home neighborhood model Distributing shared savings to specialists 44
