The Ecology of OPPE Musings about OPPE and its environment Things you know about healthcare costs The sudden healthcare crisis Outliers/means, improvement/risk Where data people (us) fit in Accountable Care Organizations
Increasing costs
but
slowing? In Hopeful Sign, Health Spending Is Flattening Out NYTimes 4/28/12 Much of the slowdown is because of the recession but some of it to changing behavior by consumers and providers of health care. In 2009 and 2010, total nationwide health care spending grew less than 4 percent per year, the slowest annual pace in more than five decades. CMS Experts were surprised at a drop in spending on some hospitalized seniors people enrolled in Medicare, whose coverage the recession should not affect. If the growth in Medicare were to come down to a rate of only 1 percentage point a year faster than the economy s growth, the projected long-term deficit would fall by more than one-third.
Compared to
Where does $ go?
Maxims Beware the man with a simple solution to a complex problem. He s not always wrong, but rarely entirely right. Good quality is a side effect of good care and good care is a side effect of good quality. Identify the outliers, move the mean.
Risk/Improvement Improvement How much? How many? Other Risk Likelihood Severity Detection Other

Perception Reality OPPE depends on how you look at it The view from other perspectives Think like an anthropologist Others perceptions of OPPE Not mission-critical Make-work Only important to administration
Stakeholders in OPPE? Informaticists Hospitals Physicians Regulators???
Strategies Strong support Physician champion Powerful committee Q&S department CEO OPPE Aikido Defend yourself Redirect force Protect your attacker
OPPE Aikido Become an ally Bearer of bad news Help to make it better Help solve problems Educate Work together Put some control in their hands TJC did Indicators and timing: organized medical staff
Strategies: getting started Identify respected believers Mine what you re already doing Payers: CMS, Leapfrog Quality entities: NSQIP, STS (CT surgery) Regulators: State, Federal Public reporting: CMS, BCBS Get their input What do they do? The Rolling Stones
Strategies: Easy Hard Easy Procedure-based (events) Hard Surgery GI Pulmonary Medicine ( cognitive ) (processes) Consults Time-based Revisits, follow up
Strategies Take an active role Build an indicator Revise Repeat
Meetings: Chairman s day 5:45 7-8 8-9 9-12 12-1 1-4 4-5 5-6 6-7:30 7:00 Wake up Desk work Med Exec Committee Patients Dept planning meeting Patients Charts, dictation Meet with problem physician Prepare presentation PTA meeting
Meetings Anthropologist You: commonalities, DB one-to-many Them: unique, intrusive, questionable value One on one Repetitive Be patient, but persistent
Usual first meeting 5 min late 10 min explain OPPE 15 min busy work bureaucratic intrusion useless waste of time duplication of effort administrative boondoggle 15 min lack of time inadequate resources no support staff administrative demands other responsibilities 15 min work
Anthropologist: doctors Competitive Strive for excellence Do the best for their patients Data- and detail-oriented; skeptical Defined/restricted by their work Chronically stressed Fearful of litigation Usual range of personalities
Kubler-Ross Denial Anger Bargaining Depression Acceptance
Loss of control Medicine: struggle for control over biology, behavior, environment Incomplete knowledge, limited technology Do an inherently imperfect job perfectly Personalities Past: practice medicine, solve problems Now: quality, efficiency, regulation, being watched intertwined with clinical activity Patients
Being heard People have to feel they have been heard Each person was given two ears and one tongue, so that we may listen more than speak. Rabbi Kerry M. Olitzky and Lori Forman, Sacred Intentions Native Americans Talking Stick - give the person holding it the honor of speaking while all the others have the duty to listen. One of the most common complaints they don t feel heard. Douglas Stone, Bruce Patton, and Sheila Heen, Difficult Conversations: How to Discuss What Matters Most Understanding what someone is saying doesn t mean that you agree with him. Whether you agree is not the issue in the listening process. Center for Conflict Resolution
Meetings: Strategies Big goal: not to win, but to complete task Immediate goal: indicators, leave You can t succeed by fighting with people Be flexible Don t debate every detail Acknowledge when they re right Hmm. There s some truth in that. We should work on it.
Meetings: Strategies Explain Handouts, references Teach Practical Reframe the task We have to do this Useful to chiefs/chairs, departments, doctors Do you want to be their IS department?
Meetings: Strategies Have a practical starting place Choices, suggestions Henry s list Datavision Internet Friends, associates
Meetings: Strategies Create ownership/control Involved in the process If we don t do this, someone else will Relevant measures, not arbitrary requirements What makes sense to them? If reject, redirect Examples: Other departments did X,Y,Z Suggest resources Colleagues Other institutions Professional organizations
Meetings: Strategies Anticipate problems Variation Practice styles and affiliations Solo/Group Coverage Defined populations/open to all Prepaid/FFS Clinical practice Own patients/hospitalists Hospital relationships Admit/refer Low volume
Meetings: Strategies Seduce them with data Have something to present Volumes, a few measures Teachable moments Aha! Moments Follow up Summarize Next steps Set timetables Write up your notes, email
Specifics:TJC What does TJC do? Creates standards OPPE goals Identify problems Timely resolution
Specifics: What do you need? A defined process Who reviews performance data How often will it be reviewed How will it be used (re: privileges) How are data incorporated into credentials file Approved Criteria Organized Medical Staff Documentation A plan Referenced by bylaws/governing documents
Specifics: FPPE My opinion: TJC unclear re: purpose, focus Granting privileges New staff Additional privileges Problems Previously Focused Review
Specifics: OPPE Maintaining privileges TJC Six competencies (suggested, not required) Identify and resolve problems Ongoing Every 6 months? 8 months? Is more often better? Diminishing returns Much of data is quarterly or semi-annual Perhaps identify a few for dashboard
What is your role? Gather data Convert data to information
Commercial Product Rollout Identify customers/clients/users Customer feedback during development Adequate resources Clear objectives Right process Position your product Give them what they need Find motivated people/early adopters Leverage past success From various sources
Who? decides what data to use? Organized medical staff Departments gathers, organizes and presents data? You sees and reviews data? Chair/chief, CMO, QA, MEC, Cred Comm Whole department? Individual physicians? If not, should they? When?
When? 6 vs 8 months Enough time to evaluate How much time to prepare, distribute? Maintenance, repetition
Where? Actions re: privileges must be documented Where stored? No requirement that it be stored continuously in credentials file. <source?> Simple: who, what, when reviewed and results Credential files Separate peer-review-protected folder
How? Simple/Complex Manual Hardware/software Process Iterative, agile
What? -1 Clinical Medical record Chart review Direct observation Discussion with others Consultants, surg assistants, nurses, admin M&M conferences Infection rates Guideline compliance CME participation
What? - 2 Quality Outcomes Incidents Complaints Peer reviews Rule violations Patients Complaints, complements Surveys
What? - 3 Volume Procedure performed in past two years? Regular procedures Emergency procedures Simulations? Layered approach General: Everyone (may vary between depts.) Specialty-specific: everyone Specialty-specific: subsets Specific departments
What? - 4 Review options OFI CME/training/proctoring/mentoring/suspension Meets expectations No issues, doing well, meetings, teaching, call Exceeds expectations OR times/los/outcomes/patient satisfaction Positive as well as negative Share gains/wins
Challenges -1 Technical issues clean data Maintenance time/resource commitment Midlevels CNM/CRNA/PA/NP TJC: equivalent to medical staff process Intensity: Inpatient higher; Outpatient lower
Challenges - 2 Zero data is, in fact, data Low/No-volume providers Increasing trend Retired/part-time Surgeons mostly in surgicenters Options Hospitals may use peer recommendations when there is insufficient peer review data to assess a practitioner s competence. Refer and Follow MS.07.01.03, EP2
Challenges 3 What kind of institution are you? No EMR non-discrete data What if everyone passes a measure? Risk adjustment Benchmarks Attribution Skeptics Cookbook medicine Your list
