Minnesota awarded largest testing grant in the country ($45.3 million), February 2013 Five other states also received SIM testing grants from CMMI: MA, ME, VT, OR and AR. 16 states received design grants National SIM Grants
Vision Every patient receives coordinated, patient-centered primary care. Providers are held accountable for the care provided to Medicaid enrollees and other populations, based on quality, patient experience and cost performance measures. Financial incentives are fully aligned across payers and the interests of patients, through payment arrangements that reward providers for keeping patients healthy and improving quality of care; and Provider organizations effectively and sustainably partner with community organizations, engage consumers, and take responsibility for a population s health through accountable Communities for Health that integrate Medicare care, mental/chemical health, community health, public health, social services, schools and long term supports and services.
What are We testing? Can we improve health and lower costs if more people are covered by Accountable Care Organizations (ACO) models? If we invest in data analytics, health information technology, practice facilitation, and quality improvement, can we accelerate adoption of ACO models and remove barriers to integration of care (including behavioral health, social services, public health and long-term services and supports), especially among smaller, rural and safety net providers? How are health outcomes and costs improved when ACOs adopt Community Care Team and Accountable Communities for Health models to support integration of health care with non-medical services, compared to those who do not adopt these models?
Goals and Vision 60% of fully insured population in ACO/TCOC models 200,000 Medicaid enrollees in ACOs Evidence of better health and lower costs from first round ACO models 67% of primary care clinics are HCH 15 Accountable Communities for Health Quality measures and payment structures that align across payers ACO/ACHs begin to integrate behavioral health or LTC or social services/public health Providers and communities partner in new and deeper ways $111 M in savings to Medicaid, Medicare and commercial payers

ACH Advisory Subgroup Convene 12 members in February April, 2014 to: Provide guidance and advice in setting strategies to raise awareness of the ACH vision across Minnesota that will create community readiness for innovation in health and health care system redesign. Provide advice on soliciting and receiving input from diverse stakeholders and communities regarding the ACH approach and applying that input to program planning as appropriate; Develop recommendations for selection criteria and recommendation of ACHs in collaboration with existing advisory groups and the SIM leadership team by the end of March At a later date the State in collaboration with the Community Advisory Subgroup will re-evaluate the work of the advisory subgroup to determine the needs for ongoing support and advice throughout ACH implementation. 11

How to Get Started Engage Community Members, Reach Out Goal: ACH s will engage community members and stakeholders to establish priorities to impact health goals, build partnerships that will integrate and coordinate care within their communities. Engage community members (citizens). Engage providers, community / local public health, community or cultural organizations, schools, tribes, faith based organizations, patient advocacy groups, worksites, employers, housing, social services, behavioral health and other medical or non-medical groups who care for or provide services for all aspects of an individuals health. Local Public Health is Required to Participate. Clinics / ACOs.
How to Get Started, Identify and Define Your Population Population is broadly defined such as, geographical, defined by patient population, or health needs of the community, high resource use in a smaller segment of the communities population, or a specific population such as a high rise or a virtual population of members. Intentional efforts should be made to reach marginalized and underserved communities.
How to Get Started to Identify Population, Build On Community Based Data Build on local public health and/or hospital community assessment. Check out your local public health agency. Each public health agency needs to complete their community health assessment by February of next year. Use SHIP Community Assessment data. Consider health systems utilization data or health plan data or workforce or other community collected data.
ACH Community Engagement The primary goals of the community engagement process are to: Raise awareness of the ACH vision and opportunities for patient centered, coordinated integrated approach; Create community readiness for innovation in health and health care system redesign, delivery and payment; and Receive input from diverse stakeholders and communities regarding the ACH approach, including ACH structure and governance.
