2 Overview The Impetus for Change Introduction to Continuum of Care A Case Study on Orthopedic Care The Evolution of Outcome Measurements Closing Comments: Accountable Care

3 The Impetus for Change Unsustainable growth in health care expenses High variability in quality and cost >50 Million uninsured Fundamental changes to employer provided health coverage

4 Health Insurance Premiums Outpace Inflation

5 What s Wrong with our System? Historical reimbursement models reward inefficiency, excess utilization and illness Customers (patients) have historically had limited sensitivity to cost of care or lifestyle impact on their health Health care is practiced in silos Industry has been slow to adopt/embrace IT solutions No accountability since Quality is difficult to measure Significant variation in care

6 Introduction to Continuum of Care Definitions: A range of services developed and organized to address the variety of needs individuals have as they age The provision of comprehensive care from the hospital to the home, which advocates the pooling together of medical and social services within the community and the creation of linkages between community care initiatives at all levels of the health care system Health care services provided either during inpatient hospitalization or for multiple diagnoses over a lifetime to give a basis for evaluating effectiveness, quality and cost of care
