Oregon s Health System Transformation: Coordinated Care Model November 2013 Jeanene Smith MD, MPH OHA Chief Medical Officer
The Challenges Oregon Faced Rising healthcare costs outpacing state budget in Oregon Health Plan (Medicaid) and in state employees benefits 85 percent of Oregon Health Plan clients were managed in silos: 16 managed physical health care organizations 10 mental health organizations 8 dental care organizations. Traditional vendor relationships with health plans in both Medicaid and State Employees, without directed accountability nor incentives to be innovative. Only a few alternative payment reform efforts by some payers and a few patient centered medical home pilot efforts 2 Smith

CCOs: Governed Locally State law says governance must include: Major components of health care delivery system Entities or organizations that share in financial risk At least two health care providers in active practice Primary care physician or nurse practitioner Mental health or chemical dependency treatment provider At least two community members At least one member of Community Advisory Council www.health.oregon.gov
Federal- State Partnership: Cost and Quality Accountability July 5 waiver signed with Centers for Medicare & Medicaid (CMS), finalized terms and conditions Dec 17, 2012 Approval for CCOs as delivery system Oregon agreed to: lower per capita cost by 2 percentage points Improve quality and access or lose the federal investment of $1.9billion Transparency Ability to compare CCO performance Metrics will be reported quarterly and posted on OHA website Financials posted quarterly
Cost and Quality Accountability for the CCOs via Quality Pool: Incentive payments tied to 17 metrics in seven areas critical to reducing costs and improving quality: Addressing chronic conditions Reducing preventable and costly utilization Integrating physical and behavioral health care Improving access to effective and timely care Improving perinatal and maternity care Reducing preventable rehospitalizations Improving primary care for all populations
