Delivery Systems Reform { Improving the way providers are incentivized, the way care is delivered, and the way information is distributed will help provide better care at lower cost across the health care system. } FOCUS AREAS Pay Providers Deliver Care Distribute Information
Source: Burwell SM. Setting Value-Based Payment Goals HHS Efforts to Improve U.S. Health Care. NEJM 2015 Jan 26; published online first. A health system that provides better care, spends dollars more wisely, and has healthier people Focus Areas INCENTIVES Description Promote value-based payment systems Test new alternative payment models Increase linkage of Medicaid, Medicare FFS, and other payments to value Bring proven payment models to scale Align quality measures CARE DELIVERY Encourage the integration and coordination of clinical care services Improve individual and population health Support innovation including for access INFORMATION Bring electronic health information to the point of care for meaningful use Create transparency on cost and quality information Support consumer and clinician decision making
Delivery System Reform (Incentives) Incentives: Improve the ways providers are paid, now looking to reward value and care coordination rather than volume and care duplication Pay providers for what works, whether something as complex as preventing or treating disease, or something as straightforward as making sure patients have more than one way to communicate w/ the team of clinicians taking care of them o Example: New Medicare payment goals to drive quality and value; many new payment models being testing at the CMS Innovation Center (such as NextGen Accountable Care Organizations) o BH Example: Section 223 Demonstration Improving Quality of Community Behavioral Health Services
Section 223 Elements o Criteria for CCBHCs (SAMHSA) o Prospective Payment System (PPS) to pay costs + quality incentive (CMS) o Evaluation to see what difference it makes (ASPE) Timelines/Process o Planning grant RFA issued May 2015 o Planning grant states awarded October 2015 o Demonstration states selected Dec 2017 o Annual Report to Congress re outcomes and recommendations Dec 2018
High Powered Budget Incentives Consolidates funding across service lines; moves accountability towards population focus Can reward integration of primary care and specialty behavioral health care Can favor prevention and early intervention approaches Especially for clinical preventive services Challenges Business case relies on savings subject to meeting quality thresholds Behavioral health quality measures are underdeveloped
High Powered Levers Making care easier Incentive through reimbursement Workforce attractiveness Measure quality Paying for what works
