Building a Healthcare organization that delivers better patient value John S. Toussaint M.D. CEO Thedacare Center for Healthcare Value CEO Emeritus Thedacare MMS 04/06/11 Financing Reform through Program Cuts, Higher Taxes/Fees Over 10 years, despite $938 billion in additional spending, Health Reform actually reduces the deficit by cutting other programs and increasing revenues Cuts to Medicare/Medicaid Market basket adjustments (including productivity adjustments) for certain hospitals and other providers - $196 billion Restructuring of payments to Medicare Advantage (MA) plans - $136 billion Revenue provisions Industry fees (pharmaceutical industry fee, medical device fee, insurance industry fee) - $107 billion Higher Medicare tax on high-income taxpayers - $210 billion Reducing Medicare and Medicaid Disproportionate Share Hospital (DSH) payments to hospitals - $36 billion Other cuts (e.g., home health payment rates) - $87 billion Cadillac tax -$32 billion Penalty payments by employers and uninsured individuals - $65 billion Total = $455 billion Other revenue (e.g., indoor tanning tax) - $111 billion Total = $525 billion 2 1
Core components of the quality and cost problem? Payment systems that do not reward healthcare providers to deliver better value Lack of transparency of performance Providers do not have a consistent methodology to improve care Current Payment Systems Reward Bad Outcomes, Not Better Health Healthy Consumer Continued Health $ Preventable Condition No Hospitalization Acute Care Episode Efficient Successful Outcome High-Cost Successful Outcome Complications, Infections, Readmissions 2

How do we define value in healthcare? 7
Providers, policy makers, and academics are seeking value Leading perspectives on value have various nuances to consider, but all stress a more coordinated, patient-centered, and informed approach is necessary Porter Berwick Makadon Value Definition Vl Outcome f (Population Health, Quality x Experience Value = Experience of Care, Per Value = Cost Value = Capita Cost) Cost Overarching Themes Nuances Definition Value is considered from the lens of the consumer Outcomes are defined as both health status and experience, with an implied interrelationship between the two Measurement Measurement of value inherently requires a longitudinal / population based perspective Accuracy requires better accounting for and attribution of cost Outcomes include a three tiered Theory stresses alignment; to Value Curve defines the frontier of hierarchy: maximize value, there must be performance based on Quality, 1. Health status achievement aligned incentives for the individual Service, and Cost 2. Process of recovery actors in the system 3. Sustainability of health Cost includes the total costs of the full cycle of care for the patient s medical condition, not just the cost of individual services An integrator is needed to accept responsibility for the three aims for a specific population (e.g. Kaiser Permanente) Cost is measured per capita and requires measurement of actual costs, currently obscured by pricing and discounting methods Theory implies tradeoff between cost and quality, unless a provider can push the frontier Cost is measured on a per patient basis and could extend across many sites of care WHIO Cost vs WCHQ Clinical Quality 8

Single plan of care developed with patient - is visible, continuously updated with patient driven schedule and goals. Clinical Quality Admirable, but not 100% reliable. Reliable, standard work, using Manage errors. Nursing maintaining evidence-based quality and real time thru heroics problem solving to prevent errors. Physician Role Hierarchical. Partner in care team. Exposes thinking to professionals team. Nursing Role Task oriented. Too much time spent running for supplies and equipment. Care manager. Expanded and empowered role in decision making and patient care progression. Bedside management of quality measures Pharmacist Role Back end. Bedside presence. More involved in patient contact/education. Teacher to patient and team. Environment Semi-private, dated. Private. Designed for patient/ staff safety, and to support collaborative processes.
