5 Pharmacy and the New Health Care Model: Roles and Responsibilities for Pharmacists A C T I V I T Y O V E R V I E W Health care in the United States is in transition as technologies and treatments continue to emerge and the population continues to age. The active engagement of all health care practitioners will be required to embrace quality improvement and change management strategies to ensure that patients receive care that is effective and safe. Requirements of the Affordable Care Act are also driving change and accountability in all areas of the health care system. The accountable care organization (ACO) model is impacting medication management across the health system, and pharmacists can significantly impact medication-use management in this evolving health care model. Additionally, hospitals will be rewarded for high-level performance and penalized for poor performance on quality measures, patient perceptions, readmissions, mortality, and safety measures as they relate to Medicare beneficiaries through value-based purchasing. The goal of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) meaningful use incentive program is to promote the spread of electronic health records (EHR) to improve health care in the United States. Eligible providers and hospitals are allowed to earn incentive payments by meeting specific criteria. Important changes in health care policy and technologies impact medication management and the pharmacist s role in patient care. This educational activity will explain how current practices will be impacted and changes that will be required as these additional roles and opportunities evolve. A C T I V I T Y O B J E C T I V E S After attending this application-based educational activity, participants should be able to Explain the fundamental principles behind the concept of ACOs. Predict potential opportunities for pharmacists to actively participate in ACOs. Explain the mechanisms by which performance will be measured under the CMS hospital value-based purchasing program. Define the role of clinical quality measures under the CMS EHR meaningful use incentive program. Describe possible roles for pharmacy in the new health care model. 5

10 Pharmacy Leadership Forum Pharmacy and the New Health Care Model: Roles and Responsibilities for Pharmacists Planned and conducted by ASHP Advantage and the Center for Health-System Pharmacy Leadership. Supported by an educational grant from Baxter Healthcare Corporation. Pharmacy Leadership Forum Pharmacy and the New Health Care Model: Roles and Responsibilities for Pharmacists The ABCs of Accountable Care Organizations James G. Stevenson, Pharm.D., FASHP, Chair Chief Pharmacy Officer University of Michigan Health System Professor and Associate Dean for Clinical Sciences University of Michigan College of Pharmacy Ann Arbor, Michigan Why Accountable Care Organizations (ACO)? Desire to integrate hospital and physician care Better align incentives around quality and costs, with an opportunity to share in savings Promote evidence-based and patientcentered care with improved coordination 10

11 Accountable Care Organizations Networks of physicians and other providers that work together to improve the quality and costs of health care services for a defined population Need for new system that creates incentives for providers to work together to bend the cost curve and improve quality Goal Improve care for individuals Improve health of the population Reduce growth in health care expenditures ACOs were compared to the elusive unicorn: everyone seemed to know what it looks like, but no one had actually seen one. Jenny Gold, Kaiser Staff Writer ACO Patient Centered Medical Home (Primary Care) Specialty Areas Inpatient Care and Transitions of Care Challenge to take principles from PCMH and extend to specialty care/areas; integrate with inpatient care and transitions 11

12 ACO Goals Avoid unnecessary duplication of services and medical errors Link provider reimbursements to quality metrics and reduction in the total cost of care for the assigned population When an ACO succeeds in saving health care dollars, it shares in the savings it achieved for the program Shared Savings Program Providers agree to be accountable for quality and cost of care of at least 5000 beneficiaries ACO is allowed to share in the savings it achieves if it meets specified quality measures and cost controls targets Demonstration projects have shown that with integrated approaches and coordination, significant reductions in cost of care can be realized Basic Features Enrollment of patients may be formal or through attribution to ACO that provides the preponderance of care Performance measurement including data on utilization, costs, and quality measures Costs in the ACO population are compared to other non-aco populations and savings or costs may be shared with the ACO (risk) 12

13 Key Strategies Considered by ACOs Treat patients in best location Utilize practice guidelines Utilize the expertise of team-based care Avoid unnecessary admissions Enhance data integration between providers/hospitals in all sites of care Focus on chronic care of populations Focus on preventative care, screenings, and wellness Refer internally Improve transitions of care Audience Response Which one of the following is a goal of ACOs? a. Better care for populations. b. Focus on inpatient care. c. Increase hospital admissions and revenue. d. Provide care for groups > 10,000 patients. Organization Core Principles for ACOs Strong base of primary care collectively accountable for quality and total per capita costs across the full continuum of care for a population of patients Payments linked to quality improvements that also reduce overall costs Reliable and progressively more sophisticated performance measurement, to support improvement and provide confidence that savings are achieved through improvements in care 13

14 Organization Core Principles By placing some of the financial responsibility on the provider, ACOs hope to limit unnecessary expenditures while continuing to provide patients with the freedom to select their medical services By increasing care coordination, ACOs can help reduce unnecessary medical care and improve health outcomes, leading to a decrease in utilization of acute care services Organization Payment Models One-sided risk ACO share any savings without any financial risk through a defined time period Two-sided risk ACOs share in the savings and losses for a defined time period Importance of Medications At least 2/3 of physician visits result in prescription medication Chronic diseases managed primarily by drug therapy Medicare beneficiaries have high utilization of medications and multiple chronic conditions Suboptimal use of medications can lead to excess costs in care, hospital admissions, ED visits 14

15 Key Medication-Related Measures in CMS* Demonstration Project (Pioneer) Risk standardized, all condition readmissions Medication reconciliation after discharge from inpatient facility Currently defined as being overseen by a physician or a clinical pharmacist Influenza immunization Pneumococcal vaccination Tobacco use and tobacco cessation intervention *CMS Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Key Medication-Related Measures in CMS Demonstration Project (Pioneer) Diabetes hemoglobin A1c <8 LDL <100 BP < 140/90 Aspirin use poor control hemoglobin A1c >9 Controlling high blood pressure Ischemic vascular disease LDL <100 Aspirin use Heart failure Beta-blocker therapy for left ventricular systolic dysfunction Coronary artery disease Drug therapy for lowering LDL ACE inhibitor or ARB for CAD and diabetes and/or LVSD Audience Response To what degree is your pharmacy currently engaged in initiatives to improve the measures in the Pioneer ACO? a. Not at all. b. To a small degree. c. To a moderate degree. d. We are currently engaged in improving all of these through the pharmacy. 15

16 The Role of Pharmacists in ACOs Key role in assuring optimal outcomes related to medications through: Ensuring appropriate medication use Reducing adverse drug events Improving transitions of care Preventing hospital readmissions More optimal management of chronic conditions Preparation for Pharmacist Integration Developed a systematic and standardized pharmacy practice model to provide comprehensive patient care Established collaborative practice agreements with physicians Obtained special clinical privileges endorsed by credentialing committee Developed new billing structure and process for service reimbursement Pharmacist Practice Model Embedded pharmacists in primary care clinics Patient recruitment Physician referral Site-specific disease registries Targeted interventions without referral Collaborative practice agreements with delegated prescriptive authority Diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia Scheduled patient visits/consults Clinic visits (30 minutes) Phone consults (15 30 minutes) 16

17 Therapeutic Interventions by Pharmacists Year 3: 2,674 interventions increased dose added medication decreased dose deleted medication optimized regimen Example of Impact on Clinical Measures Diabetes Management by pharmacists Results during Year 1 (ramp up) Patients with baseline A1c > 7% (n=270) had a mean decrease of 0.8% (95% CI 0.6 to 1.0, p<0.001) Patients with baseline A1c > 9% (n=118) had a mean decrease in A1c of 1.4% (95% CI 1.1 to 1.8, p<0.001) Focus on High Risk Patients Average Number of Admissions <$10,000 (n=1210) $10-50,000 (n=197) $>50,000 (n=40) Annual Health Care Cost 17

18 11 Large Number of Medications in High Cost Patient Population Average number of medications $20,000-50,000 (n=147) $50,000-80,000 (n=76) $80, ,000 (n=55) $110, ,000 (n=34) Annual Health Care Cost Opportunity/Call to Action Pharmacists should be actively engaged within their health-system s ACO initiatives Pharmacists should be an integral part of providing team-based care Selection of most appropriate regimen Modifying regimens as needed to achieve goals Patient education/patient empowerment Enhancing medication adherence Targeted interventions for high risk populations Opportunity/Call to Action Identify opportunities for starting new services or expanding existing programs Chronic disease management Polypharmacy Adherence Transitions of care Educational needs of patients Medication access issues Case management of high risk populations 18

19 ACO Summary Accountable for quality, cost and overall care for patients Payment reform that promotes value Shared savings program that rewards providers with incentive payments for improving quality of care and reducing cost Performance measurement that allows organizations to be accountable for quality and cost for a defined population Delivery system changes that promote integrated, organized processes of care must embrace a teambased approach Significant opportunities for pharmacists 19

25 The overarching goal of these initiatives is to transform Medicare from a passive payer of claims to an active purchaser of quality healthcare for its beneficiaries. This new program will necessarily be a fluid model, subject to change as knowledge, measures and tools evolve. Measures or measurement domains need not be given equal weight, but over time, scoring methodologies should be more weighted towards outcome, patient experience and functional status measures. Across all programs, CMS seeks to move as quickly as possible to the use of primarily outcome and patient experience measures. 25
