Landscape
4-Point Strategy for ACO Success Primary Care Our primary care practices will operate as Patient Centered Medical Homes, and be financed to do so Care Coordination MaineHealth will assess, consolidate and/or reorganize systemwide care coordination resources to ensure the right focus on the right patients Information Technology Improve information available to clinicians at the point of care by aggregating real-time claims and select EMR information Transparency A physician-led peer review program will focus on reducing unwarranted variation in care
Definition, Vision, Goals Care Coordination is the deliberate organization of care activities and information exchange that ensures every patient receives the care he or she needs at every point along the continuum. Culture of Patient Centered, Integrated Care Communication & Information Technology Population Health to Complex Care Management Continuum Patient care is coordinated, continuous, tailored and based on shared responsibility Successfully activate the full use of cross system tools and processes to be used by all providers for all patients Patient data is accessible, actionable and transferrable Care / Case Management is aligned with patient and population needs Become a leader in integrated, coordinated care through the optimization of our care management model for at-risk patients

A Holistic Approach to Improving Beneficiary Health Medicare Shared Savings Program ACO Learning System
ACO Background Start Date: January 2014 Track 1 Model No Advance Payment Memorial Healthcare System(MHS) is Participating Provider 75 Participating Providers 9,000 Attributed Beneficiaries 95% EHR Penetration with 15 different platforms (most common EHR is eclinicalworks promoted by MHS)
Broward Guardian Culture Collaboration between Memorial Healthcare System(MHS) and Community based Primary Care Physicians. MHS is the 4 th largest public health system in the country and the only hospital provider in the market Located in Southern Broward County, boarding Miami-Dade County. Geographically small, but diverse population mix Extremely high benchmark MA(Medicare Advantage) Risk penetration is high (preferred method of contracting for providers and payers)
Focusing on the Three- Part Aim (Quality/Access/Costs) Strategy Driven by Limited Access to Capital Reality: Generate Savings or Close up Shop Focus on Short Term Savings Strategies Cost verses Benefit Short Term verses Long Term Physicians understand the relationship between Quality and Savings More Primary Care Utilization Avoid Unnecessary/Avoidable Utilization
Broward Guardian Care Coordination Model Engage High-Risk Patients High Cost and High Risk Develop Individual Care Plans Beneficiary/Caregiver/Provider Include Personal Goals Frequent Interaction and Contact Right service, Right Time, Right Place Reduce Avoidable Readmissions Reduce Unnecessary ED Utilization Eyes and Ears of the PCP
Borrowing from the Managed Care Community Chronic SNP(Special Needs Plans) Management Comprehensive Assessment Risk Stratification Individualized Care Plans Manage/Evaluate/Reassess Managed Long Term Care (MLTC) Home and Community Based Services Caregiver Engagement Holistic Approach
Comprehensive Assessment Looking Beyond the Clinical Florida 701B Assessment Tool Medicaid Qualification Managed Long-Term Care Holistic Approach Mental Health/Behavioral/Cognition Nutrition Health Conditions Specialized Services Medications Caregiver Information
The Hidden Risk A Real Life Example Patient Smith age 70 Diabetic/CHF (non-compliant) Patient Constantly Rescheduling Visits Does not get lab work when ordered Inconsistent Medication administration No glucose records Reports poor eating decisions The REAL Risk Factors Patient is primary caregiver for disabled spouse No extended family Struggles to put food on the table No air conditioning Only available transportation is neighbor
Empower the Coordinators to Think Outside of the Box!!! Success in any Disease Management or Care Management model is dependent on Patient Engagement and Self- Management. What can we do to help enable the patient to be more engaged?
