Pay for Performance Methods Hospital Inpatient Quality Reporting Program 2% payment penalty Hospital Value-Based Purchasing Program (VBP) 1-2% payment penalty Hospital Readmission Reduction Program 1-3% payment penalty Hospital Acquired Condition Reduction Program Non-Payment unless POA & 1% penalty for Lower Quartile Hospitals 2
Paying for Value 3
Hospital Value-Based Purchasing (VBP) Program A paradigm shift in Medicare reimbursement strategy, linking a portion of hospital s payment to performance. Transforming CMS from a passive payer of claims to an active purchaser of quality care Encourage hospitals to continually improve quality of care. 4
Value-Based Purchasing (VBP) Program Background Part of the Patient Protection & Affordable Care Act (2010) Incentive program linking Medicare reimbursement to performance on quality measures Initially funded by a 1% withhold of Medicare discharge payments For BHCS, approximately $4 million at risk in 1 st year By 2017, approximately $8 million at risk Possible to earn more than 1% back
Performance-Based Incentive Payments: Funding Incentive payments funded by phased-in reduction risk to base operating DRG payments. 6

Total Performance Score (TPS) Methodology FFY2013 Process of Care (70% of TPS) 12 Core Measure Scores (each worth up to 10 points) For each measure, opportunity to earn the higher of achievement OR improvement score Patient Experience of Care (30% of TPS) 8 HCAHPS Dimension Scores (80 points total) For each measure, opportunity to earn the higher of achievement OR improvement score Consistency (up to 20 points possible) 13
Threshold, Benchmark & Baseline Calculations Process, Patient Experience, & Outcome Efficiency Process, Patient Experience, & Outcome Efficiency Achievement Scores Threshold 50 th percentile during baseline period. 50 th percentile during performance period Improvement Scores Threshold Hospital s score during baseline period. Hospital s ratio during baseline period. Benchmark Mean of top 10% of nation during baseline. Mean of lowest 10% of nation during performance period. Benchmark Mean of top 10% of nation during baseline. Mean of lowest 10% of nation during performance period. 14
Example: Surgery Patients Who Received Beta Blocker Prior to Surgery September 2010 May 2011 Achievement About 70% of the distance => 7 achievement points Improvement About 40% of the distance => 4 improvement points Measure score = maximum of achievement or improvement = 7 15
Calculating Process Domain Performance Score Clinical Process Performance Score (0-100 scale) = (Earned Points TOTAL / Possible Points TOTAL ) * 100 16
HCAHPS Domain Scoring Component Description Maximum Points Achievement* and Improvement Evaluates each dimension based on achievement & improvement scores, similar to scoring methodology for clinical process measures. Dimensions Nurse communication 10 Doctor communication 10 Clean, quiet 10 Responsiveness 10 Pain management 10 Comm. about meds 10 Discharge info 10 Overall rating 10 Consistency Evaluates consistency across dimensions 20 Total Combines components to provide an overall HCAHPS score 80 100
Example: Nurse Communications September 2010 May 2011 Achievement About 40% of the distance => 4 achievement points Improvement About 0% of the distance = 0 improvement points Measure score = maximum of achievement or improvement = 4 18
HCAHPS Scoring: Consistency To incentivize improvement across all HCAHPS dimensions to > 50 th percentile Lowest scored dimension determines points Score determined according to the # of percentiles the lowest dimension score is between the 0 th - 50 th percentile of hospital performance during the baseline period. Hospital Consistency Score: Points 0 th percentile > [lowest performing dimension] < 50 th percentile 0-19 [all 8 HCAHPS dimensions] > 50 th percentile 20 19
Calculating Patient Experience (HCAHPS) Performance Score HCAHPS Performance Score (0-100 scale) = Earned Points TOTAL + Consistency Points 20

As scores improve, the slope of the payment conversion line will move towards the conservative estimate line. 0% 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 90% 100% Score Payment Conversion Line - Current Estimate Using National Data Payment Conversion Line - Conservative Estimate 21

BHCS VBP Measurement and Reporting TPS score can only be maximized by exceeding achievement benchmark values Benchmark and threshold values will be fixed using the baseline period, July 2009 March 2010 Both core measures and HCAHPS domain scoring will be based on the most recent 9 months of data 23
