2 Health Care Costs Skyrocketing According to estimates, in the GCC (Gulf States) region alone, health care costs are expected to grow five-fold from now to $60 billion by Demand for overall health care is projected to grow 240 percent in the next 15 years with cardiovascular treatment poised to grow 419 percent. Cardiology will make for 24 percent of the health care costs. Source:

17 CREST Trial Shows Stenting Equally as Safe and Effective as Surgery (March 2010) The Carotid Revascularization Endarterectomy vs. Stenting Trial (CREST) Randomized clinical trial of surgery vs. stenting in 2,502 patients at more than 100 hospitals in the U.S. and Canada Showed comparable safety and efficacy for the two methods Results highlight hli ht importance of participating i in the CARE Registry to collect and report data on both CAS and CEA procedures

19 D2B Strategies Reduce MI Deaths (December 2009) Seventy five percent of participating hospitals in ACC s Door-to-Balloon (D2B) Alliance by 2008 were able to treat ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction patients within 90 minutes This data shows that the way care for heart attack patients is delivered can make a life or death difference F th t d i th D b i f JACC For more on the study, view the December issue of JACC. The study findings were also covered in The Boston Globe (12/2, Kowalczyk), USA Today (12/3, Sternberg) and HealthDay (12/2, Edelson).

41 The Case for Improved Systems of Care D2B H2H

42 Improving Quality is the Bridge to Effective Cost-Containment We must measure to manage healthcare Payment incentives i must align with better Value, Quality, and Efficiency CVD is the biggest cost burden (43%) in Medicare CV care has the most science, performance measures, and opportunity for cost containment and savings

43 In Health Care, We Must Measure to Manage

44 JAMA article on Patient Selection for ICD Implantation 111,707 patient records evaluated ated for guideline adherence in ICD implantation decisions ICD implantations were not in accordance with practice guidelines in 22.5 percent of patients ACC and HRS respond

50 Promoting Global Change Realignment of incentives for all payers, hospitals, physicians, and other clinicians Threats to the status quo health care reform, public reporting/transparency, payment reform, economic forces, population increase, rapid urbanization, lifestyle, difficult to track rural statistics Convincing ggovernments that professional societies can increase quality and reduce unnecessary spending Vision, clarity of intent and leadership Luck (improves considerably with hard work!)

51 How to engage the physician community Valid data Clinical data Quantifiable impact and performance feedback 27% reduced morbidity and mortality from pre-hospital EKG The profession as a trusted source Practice realignment around teams of care Data-driven coordination of care Payment incentives and reform Transparency and public reporting Alignment with government

52 How to engage public policy leaders
