7 Outline High-Value, Transformation and Equity Making the Business Case Lessons from the Field 7

8 High-Value in A Time of Healthcare Transformation Value-based purchasing and health care reform will alter the way health care is delivered and financed; quality not quantity Increasing Access: Assuring appropriate utilization Linking to the PCMH, decreasing ED use & avoidable hospitalizations Improving Quality: Providing the best care Importance of Wellness, Population Management Controlling Cost: Focusing on the Pressure Points Importance of hot spotting and preventing readmissions, avoiding medical errors, and improving patient experience 8

9 Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Health Care A High-Value Target Racial/Ethnic disparities found across a wide range of health care settings, disease areas, and clinical services, even when various confounders (SES, insurance) controlled for. Many sources contribute to disparities no one suspect, no one solution Social Determinants of Health Navigation Communication Stereotyping Mistrust Variations in care and quality, inefficiencies, costly care and poor outcomes are the epitome of low-value 9

10 IOM s Unequal Treatment Recommendations Increase awareness of existence of disparities Address systems of care Support race/ethnicity data collection, quality improvement, evidencebased guidelines, multidisciplinary teams, community outreach Improve workforce diversity Facilitate interpretation services Provider education Health Disparities, Cultural Competence, Clinical Decisionmaking Patient education (navigation, activation) Research Promising strategies, Barriers to eliminating disparities 10

11 Developing Interventions Lessons from the Field 11

12 Building the Foundation at MGH AHA Inaugural Equity of Care Award Winner Recognizing leaders in the field of equitable care that demonstrate success in reducing healthcare disparities and promoting diversity within their organizations. Disparities Committee Underlying Principle, 2003 While data specific to disparities at MGH important, not necessary to begin to take action given IOM Report documented issue nationally Charge Identify and address disparities in health and health care wherever they may exist at MGH Subcommittees: Quality, Patient Experience, Education/Awareness Present plan and results to Board, Executive Council and hospital leadership Build on Strong Foundation Diversity/Recruitment/Retention/Promotion at all levels, including Governance, Leadership, Physicians, Nursing, HR, GME Fortify efforts in racial/ethnic data collection, add new elements 12

14 What we have learned Disparities in Quality 1. Less communication sensitive, less prevalent Beta blocker post MI, ACE with CHF 2. More communication sensitive, more prevalent Flushot, Pneumovax, Tobacco Cessation 3. Inpatient less prevalent than outpatient, especially when susceptible to social determinants (more navigation of complex systems, more challenges) Asthma, Diabetes, Colon Cancer Screening 4. Organizations that are under-resourced, and minority serving, may have overall lower quality Related to infrastructure 14

15 Foundation for Action We are moving to the world of big data Collect REaL will be key as we demonstrate value We are moving to the world of performance monitoring, transparency, and accountability Monitoring performance, and targeting services accordingly will be the essential foundation for care management, population health, safety, patient experience Identifying disparities can lead to high-value targets Growing interest in disparities by gender, age, sexual orientation, disability 15

16 Equity and Action Developing Interventions--Equity Chronic, complex, costly conditions will be managed through interprofessional, well-trained care teams focused on population health (the 20/80 rule) IT, Care coordination and training necessary Emergence of coaches, navigators, and reemergence of community health workers Utilizations, Wellness, Care Management, Transitions One size won t fit all; need focus to impact utilization, patient experience and patient safety Cross-cultural communication and Interpretation Health literacy Patient engagement and Shared decisionmaking Need to make case that will lead to better care for all patients 16

17 Develop Culturally Competent Interventions Diabetes Disease Management Program A quality improvement / disparities reduction program with 3 primary components: Telephone outreach to increase rate of HbA1c testing Individual coaching to address patients needs and concerns regarding diabetes self-management to improve HbA1c Group education meeting ADA requirements *Also focus on link between mental health, chronic disease management, and prevention 17

18 Diabetes Control Improving for All: Gap between Whites and Latinos Closing % of Patients with Poorly Controlled Diabetes (HbA1c > 8) 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% 37% 34% 24% 24% 29% 20% Year Whites Latinos * Chelsea Diabetes Management Program began in first quarter of 2007; in 2008 received Diabetes Coalition of MA Programs of Excellence Award * 18

19 Navigate to Prevention and Wellness CRC Navigator Program Initiated 2005 Use of registry to identify individuals, by race/ethnicity, who haven t been screened for colon cancer Navigator contacts patient (phone or live) Determine key issues, assist in process Education Exploration of cultural perspectives Logistical issues (transportation, chaperone) GI Suite facilitates time/spaces issues 19

20 CRC Screening Over Time 75% Chelsea Patients Latino White CRC Screening Completion (%) 65% 55% 45% 35% 25% Year 20

21 Educate Providers and Staff Link to Transitions, Safety, Patient Experience Quality Interactions Cross-Cultural Training as part of MGPO QI Incentive; casebased, evidence-based, interactive e-learning which allows learners to develop a skill set to provide quality to diverse populations; 150,000 trained nationwide 987 doctors completed at MGH; more than 88% said program increased awareness of issues, would improve care they provide to patients, and would recommend to colleagues; average pretest score 51%, posttest score 83% Trained 1500 frontline staff with Healthcare Professional Version Trained over 6000 health care professionals in 6 months, Available at: 21

22 Patient Experience Do you think the following group of patients receive a lower quality of care, same quality of care or a higher quiality of care than most White, English-speaking patients? N/A % Lower quality of care Hispanic/Latino (N=151) Black/African American (N=164) Asian (N=193) LEP patients (N=141) 22

23 Patient Perceptions of Unfair or Disrespectful Treatment Race and Ethnicity (adults 18+) 23

24 Preparing for the Future Addressing variations in quality such as racial/ethnic disparities in health care will be essential going forward if we are to achieve equity, high-performance and high-value This is not just about equity for equity s sake cost is key as equity connects to all areas of quality: Population Management Transitions of Care and Readmissions Appropriate Utilization and Avoidable Hospitalizations Patient Safety Patient Experience Healthcare organizations ignore this at their own peril action will separate winners from losers 24

Kaiser Permanente comprises: Kaiser Foundation Health Plan Kaiser Foundation Hospitals Permanente Medical Groups Kaiser Permanente Mission Our mission is to provide high-quality, affordable health care services and to improve the health of our members and the communities we serve. 29 June 5, 2018 HSAG HIIN Disparities Series Page 29

30 Kaiser Permanente: By the Numbers 8 regions serving 8 states and the District of Columbia More than 12.2 million members Nearly 22,080 physicians 213,000 employees (more than 57,141 nurses) 39 medical centers (with hospitals) More than 680 medical offices (ambulatory care) $60.7 billion operating revenue (2015) 30 June 5, 2018 HSAG HIIN Disparities Series Page 30

31 Health Disparities Vision Statement Adopted by the Kaiser Permanente Partnership Group and endorsed by the Kaiser Foundation Health Plan/Hospitals Boards of Directors in 2007 Kaiser Permanente will: Be a leader in eliminating disparities in health and health care Provide equitable care to our members Target resources to areas of need in the communities we serve Identify and implement strategies and policies that support equity in health nationwide, including universal coverage June 5, 2018 HSAG HIIN Disparities Series Page 31

32 Getting Started Identified several sponsors to encourage partnerships Quality, Diversity & Inclusion, Community Benefit & Health Policy KP National Quality Committee Choose the starting points of hypertension control in African Americans and Colorectal Cancer Screening in Latinos Literature review Identified evidence Voice of the member Video ethnography was used to hear from members Expert opinion We also interviewed staff and physicians for consistency June 5, 2018 HSAG HIIN Disparities Series Page 32

33 Actions Service and communications tools enhanced with culturally responsive language and rationale Consistency with existing programs Allows for broad partnerships Both formal and informal champions are needed (at many levels) Re-educated on evidence based medicine and clinical practice guidelines Collaborative calls Monthly calls sharing effective practices and tools Short presentations and 30+ minutes to discuss and ask questions Annual collaborative meeting Note: Geography makes a difference Currently moving from imputed data to self reported race/ethnicity June 5, 2018 HSAG HIIN Disparities Series Page 33

34 Health Disparities Reasons for disparities are complex and multi-dimensional individual physical and cultural environment personal health management health care delivery and financing The challenge to health systems is to identify influential factors that are potentially modifiable through health system intervention Modifiable Measurable Clinically Significant June 5, 2018 HSAG HIIN Disparities Series Page 34

35 Common Modifiable Factors Patient-Provider Communication Health literacy and language proficiency are consistent predictors of disease control; over and above race/ethnicity Good communication has an impact beyond patient satisfaction Evidence that the quality of communication is associated disease outcomes (e.g., hypertension control, symptom abatement) Medication Adherence Persistence disparities in medication adherence across chronic conditions Strong evidence that improving medication adherence has the potential to reduce disparities in control (e.g., diabetes, hypertension) Copays, ease of access and regimen complexity may be important levers for intervention June 5, 2018 HSAG HIIN Disparities Series Page 35

36 Key Insights: The Patient Voice Know your patient. Communicate with your patient. Give the patients to have a chance to have their input. - Patient The doctor, he encouraged me, he talked to me. And that s why it is very important to be open I had someone that I could talk to. - Patient It is so wonderful for a doctor to come into that comfort zone with you and know that something s going on. Patient [The doctor] says we re a team, and she s a team with every patient she has. - Patient We know from members that there is a need for Kaiser employees and physicians to prioritize cultural competency and community partnership as central to their success.
