7 The Beginning Is there a compelling reason for our organizations to collaborate in this market? What problems are we facing that we ve not been able to solve on our own?

8 The Pledge Responsibility to improve health Pledge to collaborate on persistent problems Not solvable by single entity or by competition Success depends on our personal leadership

9 Why Collaborate Problem complexity System fragmentation Shared population Risky to be the market leader Support emergent solutions Change the market for the region-sustainability Avoid the Tragedy of the Commons It s been successful before 9

21 A Systems Approach Is The Only Way to Address the Opioid Crisis The complexity of the opioid crisis requires a multifaceted, rapid, coordinated effort Recognize that everyone in the community has a role to play Collaboration Work on multiple parts of the problem simultaneously Clarity on the risks of prescription opioids Re-education of health care professionals Recognition that addiction is a chronic disease and treating it appropriately Agree to a minimum set of standards by health systems Health Affairs Blog, June 13,

22 Unintended Consequences/Collateral Damage Under treatment of pain Increase in number of heroin deaths Provider burnout Increased use of recreational cannabis Punitive approach to opioid patients Increased workplace violence Increase in Emergency Department visits Kick the can Additional demand for services that will further strain the current healthcare system 22

23 Acute Pain Prescribing Work Group CEO charge Aim #1: Achieve significant reduction in the number of pills or morphine milligram equivalents (MMEs) prescribed for acute pain to opioid naïve patient over one year Workgroup composition Approach? o Initial - Decrease acute opioid prescriptions by 20-25% by June 2018 o First Rxs, Post-operative Rxs, ED Rxs, Dental Rxs o Measurement - # of pills vs. MME? 23

24 Acute Pain Prescribing Work Group Final Prescribing Recommendations: o Initial patient assessment, realistic expectations of pain, shared treatment goals, start with non-opioids o If opioids appropriate, lowest possible effective strength short-acting opioid for shortest period of time o First opioid Rx for acute pain not to exceed 100 MME total, instruct patient 3 days or less is enough o For patients presenting in acute pain already on chronic opioids, opioid tolerant, or on methadone consider Rx for an additional 100 MME with plan to return to baseline o Geriatric patients assessed for risk of falls, cognitive decline, respiratory or renal impairment. Consider reducing initial opioid dose by 50% 24

25 Acute Pain Prescribing Work Group Postoperative Pain Rx Recommendations: o Minor surgeries? APAP, NSAIDS, multimodal options as part of pain management plan o Patients taking opioids pre-op should have postop pain management plan agreed upon before surgery o If opioids deemed appropriate to manage post-op pain low dose, short acting, with plan to taper after 3-5 days o Surgeon should manage all post-op pain o Individualized postop care and treatment but still possible to recommend maximum postop MME dose 25

26 Process to Operationalize? Review data from health plans: 26

27 Process to Operationalize? Select top surgical procedures Review current average MME and if possible 25 th percentile average MME to establish goals Develop consensus around expected pain/recovery mild, moderate, severe Create procedure groupings that fit with 100/200/300 or 400 MME maximum totals 27

28 Potential components of operationalizing Recommend tools in the EMR to simplify MME calculations, medication choice and dosing Suggested components to imbed in the EMR (alerts, order sets) Unified educational material for patient, pharmacists and clinicians Consensus on measurement specifications Suggestions on dissemination and implementation Pilot top 32 procedures in participating organizations 28

29 Next steps? Written report to CEOs in January Assess results (changes in MMEs) and unintended consequences and modify plans Collaborative-wide testing of top 30 procedures Work group may apply chosen methodologies to remaining procedures to recommend MME maximums Develop a method to review and revise recommendations at specific intervals to hold the gains 29

30 Allina successes 25% reduction in # of pts receiving 8 or more opioid Rxs between and (2,547 pts) Shared Decision Making Opioid Tool Educational posters for clinic lobbies and exam rooms Care goal around controlled substance management All specialty service lines required to have a opioid goal for 2018 Standardized order sets for IP procedural pain mgmt 30
