Open Door PCP panel sizes Primary care panel size: 1,400/1.0 FTE PCP over 12 months 1,650/1/0 FTE PCP over 18 months 2,100/1.0 FTE PCP over 36 months
Patients by Age and Sex - 2014 (Under age 1) (1-19) (20-49) (50-64) (65 & Up) After childhood, we see a considerable difference between the number of men and women that we see. We attribute this trend to the high number of women that we see during child-bearing age.

Pay for Performance in Focus 2001 - Salary Armageddon 2006 - NP/PA incentive 2007 - eclinicalworks implementation 2009 - Clinical report cards introduced 2011 - Pay for Performance implemented 2013 - Human Resources strengthened 2014 - Tableau database rolled out 2016 - Relevant database rolled out AZARA PVP rolled out
Paying for clinical quality Clinicians of all stripes want to also be judged by the quality of care they give, not just by how many patients they can see. Clinicians are more concerned about how well they are taking care of patients much more than how fast they are moving from patient to patient.
Volume counts, but it s not everything Yes, volume-based reimbursement still reigns supreme. BUT. As healthcare organizations that employ clinicians, shouldn t their quality of care matter more than it currently is represented? We are all patients at some point isn t a clinician who gives good care what matters most?
Pay For Performance 2010 plan devised to incorporate clinical quality metrics as a compensation component 2011 plan rolled-out, first P4P payments HTN bonus trigger set at 60% control rate 2015 metric goals revised HTN bonus trigger set at 66% control rate
P4P magnifies need to define the PCG Using Hypertension control as an example, we only assign the quality of patient s care to the PCG if: 1) Patient is assigned to that PCG 2) Has been diagnosed with Hypertension > 12 months (eliminates concerns about newly diagnosed conditions) 3) Has seen the PCG at least twice in the past 12 months (eliminates the very common and valid concern about not having sufficient face-time with some patients on one s panel)

Pay for Performance breakdown 2016 (2017 breakdown is being revised) Bonus potential is 10% of salary for a clinician who is not in a leadership/managerial position 50% - clinician hits productivity target 25% - clinician site hits productivity 15% - clinician s clinical quality rating (1-4) 10% - individual goals set with clinician s site medical director
Determining Clinical Quality Rating We rate clinical quality on a scale of 1-4. Dr. XXX is on track to hit 10 of 12 P4P metrics. Metrics achieved: Clinical rating: 10-12 4 7-9 3 4-6 2 0-3 1
Summary Clinicians are hard to find, highly-trained, independentminded professionals that you want to nurture, support, and cultivate. Compensation strategies can help or hurt your chances at retention and recruitment. Incentivize what you want to influence (productivity, quality, panel size, satisfaction, camaraderie/citizenship, etc) Make the system as fair and transparent as possible And if at first you don t succeed, try and try again!

History of Incentive Plan First year of incentive plan 2015; Discussions and Planning began May 2014 Why we started the program: Reflect pay for performance changes in medicine Reward high performing providers, incentivize middle of the road providers, align poor performers Recruitment and retention? Helps align goals of the providers with the practice Previous bonuses were not timely or objective enough to change behavior Guiding principles: Awarding of bonuses is objective & predictable Compensation is timely and reflective of performance Supports the goals of organization Enough skin in the game to change behavior Transparency Getting it off the ground: CEO buy in Provider workgroup meets three to four times per year to define objectives and provide feedback Ongoing meetings with CMO, COO, CFO ( three legged stool meeting) Communication and feedback from Providers

Administrative / Qualifying Metrics: In order to qualify for a bonus all the following standards must be met.

What we learned from 2015? Previous issues with coverage resolved itself departments covered themselves Overall increase in productivity. Some providers respond, some not so much. Not all clinical sites and departments should be held to same standard. Difficult to reconcile this and still appear to be objective and fair. Providers made more money Have not figured out a way to include Ob s who deliver in hospital in plan Cycle Time Improved
2016 Plan Updates Increased weighting of clinical outcomes from 20% to 35% to reflect the shift to Value Based Compensation. Included plan to get to a 50% bonus based on clinical outcomes by 2018 Urgent Care performance tier moved up No more differentiation between mid levels and physicians This was first year providers required to have downside risk (5% holdback for productivity performance < 85%) 3 providers had money held back; 1 recently left organization and cited dissatisfaction with downside risk in exit interview Eliminated Bonus for 90%; Shifted more bonus to high performers ( >100%). Plan included to only bonus for >100% by 2018. Clinical Performance measures based on departmental performance

Challenges Behavioral Economics Empanelment Measuring Patient Satisfaction Tools for effectuating change in population health
Ann Intern Med. 2016;164(2):114-119.
Empanelment Patients seen in the past 15 months + Patients on Managed Medicaid Panel + Patients are asked to agree on Primary Provider ( Preferred PCP ) as part of the PCMH.
Telephone Survey Questions When visiting your primary care physician or specialist, how long do you usually spend in the waiting room before you see the doctor? Overall, how would you rate the quality of care you received from this doctor? How would you rate this doctor on giving you a clear explanation of tests and treatment options?
Tools for effectuating change How can we increase our panel? How can we get patients to come in to be seen if they need a measure? How can we see what our progress has been?
Bronx Lebanon Incentive Plan Total incentive could result in an increase of reimbursement of approximately 30% Data aggregated for quality across multiple HEDIS measures using RHIO data Patient satisfaction data collected on a daily basis through telephone surveys (Cipher Health) Visit volume will be a component that is phased out over time Panel size based on empanelment
Final Incentive Breakdown Values MEDICINE PEDIATRICS Panel 21% 35% Quality 26% 11% Visit 41% 50% Satisfaction 7% 4% Documentation 6% 0%
Panel Size Providers incentivized to have more 1800 patients in care: Patients seen in the past 15 months + Patients on Managed Medicaid Panel + Patients are asked to agree on Primary Provider ( Preferred PCP )
Quality Component Standard measures that are based on the UDS, EPP and HQIP. Each measure has a threshold above which incentive $ begin to be available and a benchmark when the maximum dollar amount is achieved. We only pay to the benchmark so doing better than benchmark does not benefit provider
Patient Satisfaction Provider specific patient satisfaction responses on a modified CAHPS survey Baseline threshold of >20% positive topline answers Target >55% topline answers
Visit Volume Incentive is a per/visit dollar value for each visit.
Documentation Improvement Providers receive real time alerts at time of visit Provider achieves incentive based on their response to documentation improvement alerts
