EXECUTIVE SUMMARY There are 9 primary care partners participating in Staten Island Performing Provider System projects that require NCQA 2014 PCMH Level 3 recognition. All but three partners are on track to receive this recognition prior to March 31, 2018. Two of these partners will receive PCMH technical assistance through HANYS Solutions. The DSRIP primary care-based projects and organizational workstreams are interconnected and in line with the PCMH requirements. In addition to the technical assistance offered to partners, the PPS efforts to implement the projects and meet workstream milestones will support the PCMH transformation for these partners. The SI PPS anticipates that between these 9 primary care partners and the primary care practices participating in 4.b.ii, there will be significant expansion of the patient-centered medical home model on Staten Island further improving the quality of primary care in the borough. OVERVIEW OF PRIMARY CARE PROVIDERS As the United Hospital Fund s publication The Growth of Medical Homes in New York State, 2014-2016 indicates, the NCQA PCMH recognition program has had limited penetration in Staten Island. The borough has the lowest percentage of PCMH recognized providers in the city at 10%. While the reasons for this are not identified, Staten Island is dominated by small primary care practices composed of one to two physicians. Other boroughs tend to have many more medium to large size primary care practices and health centers with the human and technological resources to support the PCMH model and the Medicaid volume to financially support those resources through the New York State Department of Health Medicaid PCMH incentive payment program. According to the NCQA Recognized Clinician Directory, there are 13 primary care practices in Staten Island that have PCMH recognition with a combined total of 62 primary care providers. Ten of those practices are in the PPS network and nine of them have executed agreements to participate in PPS projects. Table 1 has a breakdown of the practices, their recognition status, and involvement with the Staten Island PPS. 2 P age

Since receiving PCMH recognition, both Beacon Christian Community Health Center and Community Health Center of Richmond have opened additional locations and hired additional PCPs. In addition to the practices identified above, SI PPS has also partnered on projects with another 3 organizations that have not yet received PCMH recognition. Table 2 identifies the additional primary care practices.

However, significant efforts are being made to engage 13 practices in NCQA PCMH recognition through project 4.b.ii. In total, SI PPS PCMH efforts for projects 2.a.iii, 3.a.i, and 3.c.i will include 9 organizations representing 25 practices and approximately 102 primary care providers. The map in Figure 1 demonstrates the locations of these 25 current and future PCMH PPS practices along with the geographic distribution of Medicaid enrollees. 4 P age

PCMH TIMELINE The DSRIP deadline for PCMH recognition under the 2014 Standards is the end of DY3, Q4 (March 31 st, 2018). However, as NCQA will be releasing new 2017 Standards, they will stop accepting applications under the 2014 Standards in September 2017. The New York State Department of Health has arranged with NCQA to make an exception for DSRIP participants, allowing practices that submit between September 2017 and January 2018 to receive a shortened two year recognition at a discounted price. While the actual PCMH transformation process is variable, the timeline for submitting for PCMH recognition is specifically prescribed by NCQA. Following NCQA s timeline, SI PPS has outlined the following submission steps in Figure 2 in order to meet the DSRIP deadline. Figure 2: General NCQA Submission Timeline 1 week Data Collection Policies and Procedures 9/23/17 Application Submission Survey Tool Submission NCQA Decision 11/30/17 6/1/17-8/31/17 9/30/17 60 days Following the new NCQA 2014 Standards deadline, the PCMH survey tool must be submitted no later than September 30, 2017 to receive the full three year recognition. As the NCQA review process can take up to 60 days, recognition would be expected around November 30, 2017. The PCMH application must be submitted at least one week prior to the survey tool so that NCQA has the time to process that component of the submission. This gives an application deadline of September 23, 2017. Per NCQA guidelines, all relevant policies and procedures must be in place at least 3 months ahead of PCMH submission. In addition, the majority of data elements to be included in the submission must be for a minimum of 3 months. Following those timelines, all data should be collected, at the latest, between June and August 2017 and policies and procedures should be instituted before June 2017. This gives practices approximately one month to complete their survey tool and compile their supporting documentation related to this data and these policies and procedures. Any organizations submitting as a multi-site (three or more locations operating under the same EMR and same policies and procedures), will have a slightly different timeline as there are additional steps in 6 P age

the submission process. Timelines for those organizations would look similar to the one in Figure 3. NCQA will stop accepting corporate applications under the 2014 Standards in March 2017. Figure 3: Multi-Site Submission Timeline 1 week 60 days Data Collection Policies and Procedures 12/1/16-2/28/17 3/23/17 Application Submission Corporate Survey Tool Submission 3/31/17 9/30/17 Site Specific Survey Tool Submission NCQA Decision 11/30/17 Practices that already have PCMH recognition will want to submit their materials prior to the DSRIP deadline and before their recognition expires as the renewal process is less arduous than that for new practices. A lapse in recognition will disqualify practices from the streamlined renewal process. Table 3 outlines the PCMH recognition timeline for each SI PPS practice that has not yet submitted its application. The timeline for UPG may change if it applies through a multi-site application.

Three partners completed detailed factor by factor responses for the NCQA Standards. The PPS contracted with HANYS Solutions to complete PCMH assessments for the remaining three primary care partners. 7 P age

Table 4 indicates a preliminary assessment of the partners status in regard to must pass elements and critical factors. If a practice is unable to meet the requirements of a must pass element, it will not receive any recognition from NCQA. For CHCR, Metro, and Victory, the selfreported assessments indicated that they would be able to pass all critical factors and must pass elements and should achieve Level 3 recognition prior to March 31, 2018. Similarly, RUMC should have little trouble meeting all must pass elements with a refocus on initial care coordination processes implemented for their current NCQA PCMH recognition. Based on their current operations, both SIUH and UPG will not meet a majority of the must pass elements.

UPG UPG has a robust EMR and an easy ability to make modifications as its Chief Medical Officer is also the CMO of its EMR system. It has been a successful partner in a Pioneer ACO with a strong focus on quality for its Medicare population but has yet to apply this effort to its Medicaid population. In addition, the 13 practices operate as a loose federation of clinics that do not follow standardized policies and processes. Their recent merger with Northwell Health may support more standardized polices and processes for the practices. UPG has nearly two years to complete its transformation to a multi-site NCQA Level 3 PCMH. The assessment identified the following PCMH components as critical gaps for UPG: Same day appointments Creating care teams and structured communication Population management for preventive and chronic care services Care transition processes Patient satisfaction surveys Quality improvement processes Overview Seven out of the nine PPS primary care partners have either become patient-centered medical homes or have the leadership buy-in to pursue the necessary transformation for PCMH. Two partners, SIUH and UPG, are at risk of failing the NCQA recognition process by the DY3 Q4 deadline without significant practice transformation efforts. Both would benefit from increased leadership support of PCMH transformation. Should the Advanced Primary Care requirements be less stringent than the NCQA Patient-Centered Medical Home standards, SIUH and UPG could consider pursuing APC as an alternative. DSRIP & NCQA PCMH ALIGNMENT While NCQA PCMH recognition is a distinct DSRIP milestone, the transformation to a patientcentered medical home directly aligns with a number of milestones from SI PPS projects and organizational workstreams. GNYHA produced a crosswalk that identifies the direct correlation between PCMH Standards and DSRIP project milestones. A modified version of the crosswalk can be found in Appendix B. A summary of the project and workstream alignment with PCMH follows in Table 5. Nearly every PCMH element intersects with some component of the DSRIP program. 10 P age

HANYS Solutions has a successful track record of PCMH transformation and recognition across the State and with a variety of types of primary care practices. The technical assistance components are outlined in Table 6 and were presented to the Ambulatory Care Workgroup in October 2015. Table 6: HANYS Technical Assistance Program Component Client Portal Web-based Advisory Sessions Cohort Project Plan Management Description Approximately forty (40) on-demand learning modules. Each cohort will be given a specific curriculum in alignment with the cohort level project plan, type of practice and type of submission. Regularly-scheduled live, web-based, interactive advisory sessions. This session gives the practice (s) the opportunity to ask questions, seek guidance and clarification. Cohort level project plan by a PCMH advisor and/or analyst for PCMH task management throughout the transformation. PCMH Advisory Services will develop the cohort project plan, monitor due dates, and manage aspects of the project plan while your team gets the work done. 12 P age

As the primary care practices are all at different stages of recognition and a few had already executed contracts with other organizations, only a few practices expressed interest in the HANYS Solutions technical assistance. Table 7 outlines the practices and their technical assistance partners. Both Beacon and CHCR chose not to pursue technical assistance as they had recently received NCQA 2011 PCMH recognition. Table 7: PCMH Technical Assistance Partners Practices Beacon Christian Community Health Center Brightpoint Health Metro Community Health Center Community Health Center of Richmond Richmond University Medical Center Staten Island Physician Practice Staten Island University Hospital University Physicians Groups Mt. Sinai Doctors Victory Medical Group Technical Assistance Partner N/A N/A Primary Care Development Corporation N/A HANYS Solutions N/A HANYS Solutions HANYS Solutions Primary Care Development Corporation In addition to technical assistance partners, the SI PPS s Director of Ambulatory Care Initiatives is an NCQA PCMH Certified Content Expert and has facilitated PCMH recognition for facilities in New York City. The SI PPS s Chief Medical Officer was the first solo practitioner to achieve NCQA PCMH 2014 Level 3 recognition in New York. They are both available to provide any needed support to primary care practices. WORKGROUP LEARNING COLLABORATIVE SI PPS has formed an Ambulatory Care Workgroup to address primary care-based projects. While initially focused on projects 3.a.i Model 1 and 3.c.i, the workgroup had a natural alignment with the planned PCMH workgroup and the two workgroups were combined. As the DSRIP and PCMH crosswalk section indicates, the PPS s efforts to promote evidence-based diabetes management and integration of behavioral health align with components of NCQA s PCMH 2014 Standards. The purpose of this workgroup, as outlined by its charter, is to provide clinical and operations expertise to support planning and implementation of primary care-based projects. The Workgroup may also provide guidance for relevant cross-project topics. The Workgroup is comprised of clinical and operations leaders from all seven primary care partner organizations and will guide development and implementation of identified projects, including processes, workflows, standards of care and more. In order to meet PPS-wide goals, the workgroup will 13 P age

also serve as a learning collaborative for partners to share best practices and learn from each other and from other committees and workgroups, such as the Care Management Workgroup, Clinical Integration Workgroup, etc. CLINICAL INTEGRATION SI PPS is supporting its partners in the implementation and enhancement of electronic medical records. NCQA PCMH 2014 Standards are aligned with CMS Meaningful Use Stage 2 requirements. Level 3 PCMH recognition has been structured in such a way that it cannot be attained without an EMR. Thus, implementing an EMR and ensuring that it has MU Stage 2 functionality is crucial for all primary care partners and their efforts toward achieving PCMH Level 3 recognition. Table 8 indicates which primary care practices are using EMRs with meaningful use certification. Table 8: Primary Care Practices and MU Status of EMR Practice AdvantageCare Physicians Beacon Christian Community Health Center Brightpoint Health Metro Community Health Center Community Health Center of Richmond Richmond University Medical Center Staten Island University Hospital University Physicians Group Mt. Sinai Doctors Victory Medical Group MU Certified Pending data In addition, SI PPS is supporting its project partners in integrating their electronic medical records with the local RHIO, Healthix. This clinical integration supports partner needs related to PCMH factors focused on electronic exchange of key clinical information and sharing of electronic summary-of-care records for care transitions.

Sinai Doctors Victory Medical Group RHIO Implemented/Operational Implemented/Operational Implemented/Operational In Development Implemented/Operational By DY3 Q4, all primary care partners will have an EMR implemented and will be connected to the Healthix RHIO. CULTURAL COMPETENCY & HEALTH LITERACY SI PPS has a strong focus on cultural competency and health literacy and, as outlined in the strategy for that organizational workstream, the PPS will be collaborating with primary care practices on the following: Cultural competency training - SI PPS is offering a compliment of trainings including language access, medical interpreting, health literacy health communication, cultural competency and healthcare equality. These trainings will be offered at all PPS sites and to all provider types. Every employee in the PPS will attend Bias, Culture and Values 1199 Training and Employment Fund s introductory Cultural Competency training. SI PPS has also contracted with the Pride Center of Staten Island to conduct PPS wide LGBTQ Healthcare Equality trainings. Population Health Literacy Improvement - SI PPS has convened a workgroup consisting of health care providers and literacy service organizations such as the YMCA, JCC, and the NYPL to assist with developing a borough-wide health literacy toolkit which focus on Staten Island specific health disparities and outcomes related to PPS projects. SI PPS has identified gaps in the provision of culturally and linguistically appropriate services based on results from a PPS wide Cultural Competency and Health Literacy needs assessment. SI PPS has secured a vendor for Language Access Services (including video remote and telephonic interpreting and translating services), has prioritized sites with little to no access to language services and will support sites with video interpreter equipment as needed. PPS is also offering Medical Interpreter Training and train-thetrainer courses available to qualified employees. As identified above, these goals directly align with PCMH requirements for culturally and linguistically appropriate services and assessment of health literacy. In addition, trainings will support PCMH requirements for training staff on communicating with the patient population, especially vulnerable groups. 15 P age

WORKFORCE TRAININGS The PPS is tracking a workforce of over 11,500 employees, union and non-union requiring various levels of training. Through a partner survey, SI PPS has catalogued current partner training programs utilized and then created a gap analysis for needed future training. This training will be clinical and non-clinical in nature and will be done in conjunction with 1199 Training and Employment Fund (TEF) and other potential vendors for such topics as LEAN Six Sigma training. Existing internal partner resources and new outside vendors will be used. Future training will be built upon a broad training module on DSRIP 101 a review of how DSRIP transforms relationships between inpatient and outpatient partners to improve care delivery. Partner specific training programs are being developed by using the original survey and also site visits. This approach has permitted a deeper dive into training needs and has led to the creation of training strategies by DSRIP project and job titles associated with each project. This is an on-going analysis, based upon program implementation and the movement of human resources as part of the collaborative health care integration process. Specifically in regards to PCMH transformation, 1199 TEF has a robust care coordination training that will support PCMH requirements for staff training. Additional training components on motivational interviewing will fulfill the needs of primary care practices to train staff on selfmanagement support, self-efficacy, and behavior change. As described above, the PPS will be implementing the cultural competency training. The PPS is also exploring project-specific trainings related to SBIRT, depression management, and diabetes education all of which align with aspects of PCMH. PERFORMANCE REPORTING Through the performance reporting workstream, SI PPS has contracted with SpectraMedix to develop an enterprise data warehouse. This warehouse will combine claims data and EMR data to create performance dashboards for partners. This will support PCMH requirements related to performance measurement and quality improvement. Numerous DSRIP measures fall into the PCMH categories of clinical quality, utilization, care coordination, and patient experience presenting the primary care practices with an array of metrics to incorporate into their quality improvement efforts. In addition, the SI PPS plans to support rapid cycle improvement efforts will further support partners development and enhancement of quality improvement programs. 16 P age
