Robert Wood Johnson Foundation s Payment Reform for Population Health (P4PH): Overview and Framework
11 P4PH Vision and Mission Vision o Community-wide population health will be improved through a more supportive health care payment system. Mission (i.e., P4PH Goals): o o To better understand the systems, context and structures needed to create the conditions for a health care payment system to support community-wide population improvement; and To identify and address barriers and promote promising opportunities. Defining population health: o o Health outcomes of a group of individuals, including the distribution of such outcomes within the group. (Kindig and Stoddart, 2003) For our purposes, the population is geographically-based total community, not a patient panel or payer s covered lives.
Analytic Frameworks and Assumptions
Determinants of Health Population Health 1 20% Health Care 30% Health Behaviors 40% Socioeconomic Factors 10% Physical Environment - Access to Care - Quality of Care - Tobacco Use - Diet & Exercise - Alcohol Use - Unsafe Sex - Education - Employment - Income - Social Support - Community Safety - Environmental Quality - Built Environment 1. Defined as: Health outcomes of a group of individuals, including the distribution of such outcomes within the group. (Kindig and Stoddart, 2003). Not NOTE: Genetics as a determinant of health has not been included as we consider that facet much less amenable to being influenced by payment reform.

P4PH Activities: Issues and Barriers
19 Health System SDH Investment: The Why and the How Why Motivating Factors (Examples) Mission Driven External Policy Driven Business Case ROI/Evidence Nuts n Bolts (Examples) How Misaligned economic motives Rate-slide for managed care entities Wrong-pocket problem Structuring a risk-based contract State policies and contracting levers
20 Health System SDH Investments: Motivating Factors Type of Health Care Entity Motivating Factors Medicaid Managed Care Organizations (MCOs) - State policies and contracting levers - Low-income populations more impacted by social factors Commercial Plans - Some are mission-driven - MACRA Hospitals - Community Benefit Requirements - Financial incentives (federal; state; self-identified) Safety-Net Providers - See health beyond health care more integrated with social services Clinical Providers - Growing recognition that they can t treat everything medically - Part of a larger networks operating under certain financial incentives
21 Barrier Domains/Elements That Have Risen to the Top Trusted Environment/Convener Data and Population Metrics Care Delivery Integration of Community and Clinical Resources Payment and Financing 21
Trusted Environment/Convener Issues Who is the entity? How is that entity selected? How are all multi-sector community partners identified? How much time and energy should be spent on establishing governance? How are collective decisions made? What is the management structure? Barriers The right convener for the community Governance vs. interventions Financing the convener and the interventions Internal workforce capacity Accountability and transparency Knowledge of local environment
Data and Population Metrics Issues How to get started of collecting, analyzing, and sharing? What are the key components of data sharing partnership? Who should receive, analyze, house, and report out data/information? What problems are communities trying to solve using the data? Screening and referral system When should organizations build versus buy their own tools and programs? Barriers Data Measures Data Sharing Standardization ( semantic normalization ) Financing the infrastructure/maintenance/use
Multi-sector Care Delivery Issues Need to understand how health care and social services currently are delivered across the partners/community? Key providers? What are the key care delivery interventions to undertake? How will social services be integrated and coordinated with clinical services? How can you ensure the quality/capacity of social services? What are the desired shared outcomes/goals? Should social services organizations be financially at risk for performance? Barriers Accountability Power dynamics Everyone at the table Social service sector capacity/quality
Payment and Financing Issues Alignment of financing from core operational dollars, community benefit dollars, and premium/provider reimbursement dollars Can/should health care sector partners be held responsible for individuals and activities outside its four walls? Can/should health care sector partners be held responsible for individuals outside a health care provider s patient panel or payer s enrollees? How can the reimbursements for non-clinical interventions flow between health care sector partners and non-health care sector partners? Sustainability (i.e., for convener and interventions) Evidence (i.e., value proposition) Barriers Business Case/Return on Investment (ROI) Accountability Education for all partners to understand
Lessons Learned
Lessons Learned: Trusted Environment/Convener Build trust in each other and the convener Recognize all partners diverse viewpoints/perspectives, regardless of power Identify common interests Find and foster a community voice/ownership of the efforts Exhibit adaptive leadership qualities Demonstrate effective communication practices Utilize community organizing principles Separate form (who is convener) from function (what convener does)
Lessons Learned: Data and Population Metrics Ground efforts to collect and use data within a shared understanding across partners of mutual goals Use available data as an acceptable starting point Stay pragmatic and realistic when establishing partner expectations Identify the most effective data platform for collective use Develop standardized data definitions Establish a governance process for data collection, sharing, and analysis Identify target population that leads to short-term results (i.e., lowhanging fruit)
Lessons Learned: Multi-sector Care Delivery Start small - Identify practical interventions and data collection activities o Builds trust and demonstrates proof of concept Continued engagement ensures commitment and leadership Credible data collection and analysis is critical for intervention s proof of concept SDH assessments are critical to understand individual needs and link with community services Involve local community partners in key decision-making Engage all payers can help shift care coordination to be seen as a utility for total community
Lessons Learned: Payment and Financing Use existing provider payment models as a jumping off point o Need to increase signal strength and reduce noise Leverage other funding and financing sources o o Recognize other funding sources may be collectively used/multiple investors Medicaid financing changes are under exploration/ development Evidence o o Identifying positive ROI may be possible with a few population health interventions Using qualitative data and storytelling to illustrate the value in reinvestment and rebalancing of funds Intervention Savings o o For some interventions/ populations, initial savings may be substantial, but with fixed costs, savings will be not be continual Sites, always looking to control costs, will seek to titrate interventions and move individuals to less expensive/dependent support to diminish intervention costs
31 Lessons Learned: History of Innovation Shapes Readiness to Move Upstream Commitment to Multi-Sector Collaborations o Collective impact (e.g., AF4Q, RWJF s Bridging for Health, United Way, Re-Think Health) o Governmental initiatives (e.g., ONC s CHP Learning Program, CMMI s AHCs) Commitment to Data Acquisition, Analysis and Use o RHIOs; RWJF s DASH; ONC s CHP; APCDs; Camden Coalition Experience with Care Delivery Transformation o CMS / HHS Initiatives (e.g., CPC+, PCMH, other CMMI & HRSA projects) o IHI Quality Improvement o Evidence-based Community Strategies (e.g., AHRQ-certified Pathways model; Housing First) Participation in Alternative Financing Efforts o CMS Financial Alignment Demonstrations o Medicare Advantage o State Medicaid MCOs/Innovative Medicaid Models (MN s ACOs; OR s CCOs) o CMMI s State Innovation Model (SIM) grants 31
32 Lessons Learned: Enabling Factors Provide Foundation for Moving Upstream Having a sole or dominant market player o This can result in increased accountability for community s total cost of care. o Investment calculation: Covered population = large proportion of community. Having a mechanism to transfer healthcare premium resources (savings) to other sectors (e.g., The Vermont Green Mountain Care Board) Addressing care delivery improvements presently o Pre-cursor / concurrent development for success of community strategies (may be underappreciated) Understanding success begets success and can create challenges 32
33 Overall Lessons Learned APMs rarely directly reimburse non-clinical, SDH-related support services - hard to move from Auerbach s Bucket 2 to Bucket 3. Other financing sources (e.g., community benefit dollars, grants, and reserves) more commonly used to support SDHs. Three streams: Internal organizational level (operations)/external-facing organizational level (community benefit)/service provider level (APMs). Alignment is needed across the three streams (in addition to other potential financing sources other sectors including community development). The Why (motivation) is as important to understand as the How.
