PCMH and PCSP
WHAT IT FEELS LIKE
Presentation Outline Goals of the Patient Centered Medical Home and the Patient Centered Specialty Practice Identifying the Joint Principles Recognition Programs Standards Examples
Goals PCMH A model for care provided by physician practices aimed at strengthening the physician-patient relationship by replacing episodic care based on illnesses and patient complaints with coordinated care and a long-term healing relationship PCSP A program designed to improve quality and reduce waste and poor patient experiences that result from poorly coordinated care. The program focuses on coordinating and sharing information among primary care clinicians and specialists. It requires clinicians to organize care around patients and to include patients and their families or other caregivers in planning care and as partners
How Many Standards????
Facilitate communication, coordination and integration Facilitate appropriate and timely consultations and referrals Facilitate the efficient, appropriate and affective flow of necessary patient and care info Effectively address issues of responsibility in co-management situations Support patient centered care, enhanced care access and high levels of care quality and safety Recognize the PCP as the provider of whole person care to the patient and as having overall responsibility for ensuring the coordination and integration of care Patient Centered Comprehensive Coordinated Accessible Committed to Quality and Safety

Why Should I Do More? And More? And More? Enhanced Reimbursement Increased Patient Volume Improved Outcomes Recognition and Marketing But it is going to be more work. Most practices already have informal workflows that meet the guidelines, why not formalize it Many of the guidelines cross over between Meaningful Use and PQRI Recognition helps maintain MOC Credit for enhanced reimbursements
Why Participate?
Practice provides access to culturally and linguistically appropriate routine care and urgent team based care that meets the needs of patients and families Appointment Accessibility and timely clinical advice during and after office hours Practice provides continuity of care for patients and families in regards to clinician of choice Practice provides education on the medical home or medical neighbor model identifying the role of the PCP vs specialist Practice aims to meet cultural and linguistic needs of patients by providing interpretation or bilingual services and educational materials in the languages of their patients Practice utilizes the team approach to patient care Practice has procedures to ensure proper documentation and access to the medical record after hours PCMH Standard 1 PCSP Standard 2 Enhance Access and Continuity
Enhanced Communication
Practice has formal and informal agreements with PCP s identifying specified methods of communication, co-management or transition strategies, confirmation of receipt and acceptance, information regarding patient demographics and timing of the referral Referral must contain clinical question, the type of referral, urgency of referral, patient demographics, clinical information, primary practice care plan, treatment, test results and procedures Practice must respond to the PCP as to their plan of care, care management, patient education, follow up, and secondary referrals In MU stage 2 the practice must provide an electronic summary of care for more than 50% of referrals PCSP Standard 1 Track and Coordinate Referrals

PCMH Standard 3 and PCSP Standard 4 Plan and Manage Care Practice must be able to identify individual patients, manage and coordinate their care based on conditions and evidence based guidelines Practice must have evidence based point of care reminders for patients first and second important condition as well as unhealthy behaviors or mental health/substance abuse Must be able to identify high-risk or complex patients Utilize a care team for pre-visit preparation, collaboration regarding individual care plan, assess and address barriers, identify patients that can benefit from additional care and follow up with patients not keeping appointments Practice must actively manage the medications by reviewing and reconciling medications for care transitions, provide education about new prescriptions, assess understanding of the medication and treatment goal and identify any barriers to adherence Practice must transmit electronic prescriptions, perform drug-drug and drug-allergy interactions, alert provider to generic alternatives and formulary status
Disease Management
Practice improves patients ability to manage their health by providing a self-care plan, tools, educational resources and ongoing support Provide educational resources Document and develop self management ability and plans Counsel patients regarding healthy lifestyle choices Maintain current resource list Track referrals Arrange or provide treatment for mental health and substance abuse Standard 4 Self Care Support and Community Resources Offer opportunities for health education programs

DRP/HSRP Crosswalk to PCMH Standard 3 & 6 PCMH 3 PCMH 6 Element A, factors 1 and/or 2: Implement evidence-based guidelines. The practice implements evidence-based guidelines through point-of-care reminders for patients with first and second important conditions (factors 1, 2) and a third unhealthy behavior/ mental health/substance abuse. Automatic credit may be awarded for factors 1 and 2 for DRP and HSRP* recognition (or for one factor for DRP or HSRP recognition). Element C: Care Management. The care team performs the following for at least 75% of the patients identified in Elements A and B. If the practice has DRP (or HSRP) as an important condition, automatic credit is given for factors 1 7 in the Record Review Workbook, where each patient in the chart review matches the DRP or HSRP condition. Element A, factor 2: Measure performance.** The practice measures or receives data on at least three chronic or acute care clinical measures (factor 2). Automatic credit is awarded for this factor if the practice has DRP and/or HSRP recognition*. Element C, factors 1 and/or 2: Implement continuous quality improvement. The practice uses an ongoing quality improvement process to set goals and to act to improve on at least three measures from Element A (factor 1) and to set goals and act to improve quality on at least one measure from Element B (factor 2). Recognition* may be used as a baseline for goals for factor 1; however, additional documentation is required to demonstrate the practice s actions to improve performance. Element D, factor 1: Demonstrate continuous quality improvement. The practice demonstrates ongoing monitoring of the effectiveness of its improvement process by tracking results over time. Practices may use the process and data to establish comparative data from recognition* programs; but data must show comparison of at least two sets of DRP or HSRP data from practices with DRP or HSRP recognition to demonstrate improvement.* Element E, factors 1 and 3: Report performance. The practice shares performance data from Elements A and B within the practice, results by individual clinician (factor 1) and outside the practice to patients or publicly, results across the practice or by clinician (factor 3). Automatic credit is awarded to practices with current HSRP or DRP recognition that report performance data for Element A portions. Element F, factor 2: Report data externally. The practice electronically reports ambulatory clinical quality measures to external entities. Automatic credit is awarded for this factor for practices with DRP recognition* (HSRP also may apply).
Systematically track tests and coordinate care across specialty care, facility based care and community organizations Track lab and imaging tests until available, flag and follow up on overdue items All abnormal lab and imaging must be brought to the attention of the provider and the patient/family must be notified Electronically communicate with labs and facilities for results and incorporate these into the HER Coordinate and track referrals by documenting clinical reason and clinical information as well as required timing Establish agreements when co-management is needed Demonstrate and provide electronic exchange of clinical information to other providers and provide the summary of care to patient Develop process for identifying patients with hospital/er visit as well as ability to share clinical information. Obtain discharge summaries from hospital and other facilities Provide an electronic summary of care record to outside facilities PCMH and PCSP Standard 5 Track and Coordinate Care
PCMH and PCSP Standard 6 Measure and Improve Performance Use performance data to identify opportunities for improvement and acts to improve clinical quality, efficiency and patient experience Identify three preventive, acute and chronic measures as well as two utilization measures affecting health care costs Identify vulnerable populations to assess for disparities in care Obtain feedback from patients/families on their experiences with the practice and their care via survey tools Use ongoing quality improvement processes to set goals Identify at least three measures from element A, one from element B and one identified disparity in care Involve the patient/families in quality improvement teams Demonstrate ongoing monitoring of the effectiveness by tracking results over time, assessing the effect, achieving improved performance on two measures Share performance data within the practice as well as to patients and the community Electronically report clinical quality measures, data to immunization registries or syndromic surveillance to public health agencies
