8 Access Demand Perverse incentives still in play Piece rate Medicare/Medicaid payment units of work cost value Plus new incentives!!

9 Consolidation of insurance companies Consolidation of hospitals Integrated Delivery Systems Accountable Care Organizations

10 Where Do We Want to Be? 1. Affordable coverage for all 2. Payment for value 3. Coordinated care 4. Continuous improvement/innovation 5. National health goals, leadership, accountability The Path to a High Performance US Health System A 2020 Vision and the Policies to Pave the Way, pg , The Commonwealth Fund

11 How Do We Get From Where We Are To Where We Want To Be?

12 State of the Evidence Volume 348(26) 26 June 2003 pp The Quality of Health Care Delivered To Adults In the United States McGlynn, Elizabeth A.: Asch, Steven M.: Adams, John: Jeesey, Joan: Hicks, Jennifer: DeCristofaro, Alison: Kerr, Eve A. BACKGROUND We have little systematic information about the extent to which standard processes involved in healthcare a key element of quality are are delivered in the United States. METHODS We telephoned a random sample of adults living in 12 metropolitan areas in the United States and received written consent to copy their medical records to evaluate performance on 439 indicators of quality of care for 30 acute and chronic conditions as well as preventative care RESULTS Participants received 54.9 percent of recommended care. CONCLUSIONS The deficits we have identified in adherence to recommended processes for basic care pose serious threats to the health of the American public. Strategies to reduce these deficits are warranted. 12 Not for reuse or distribution without permission

37 Ongoing Issues Benefit to patients? More individualized targets? Smaller cohorts? Specialist / PCP interactions

38 ProvenHealth Navigator SM (Advanced d Medical Home)

39 ProvenHealth Navigator SM (Advanced Medical Home) Partnership between primary care physicians and GHP that provides 360-degree, 24/7 continuum of care Embedded nurses Assured easy phone access Follow-up calls post-discharge and post-ed visit Telephonic monitoring/case management Group visits/educational services Personalized tools (e.g., chronic disease report cards)

P = < 0.003

44 Ongoing Issues Scalability? Generalizability? Specialist / PCP interactions

45 PGP Demo Quality Payments (Overall Benefits to Medicare) Geisinger Results: Year 4 Shared Savings $1.8 Million earned ($1.3 Million paid after holdback) $900 Thousand based on Quality $900 Thousand based on Efficiency Physician Quality Reporting Initiative (PQRI) 100% of earnings based on PGP quality score $1.1 1 Million Physician Group Practice Demonstration Performance Year 4 Quality Measures Results August 20, 2010 RTI International

46 Transitions of Care

47 Transitions of Care Began January 2008 as joint quality/efficiency initiative that complements ProvenHealth Navigator SM (Advanced d Medical Home) Inpatient and outpatient interventions Eliminate unnecessary admissions Reduce preventable readmissions Free up capacity for more acutely-ill patients Focused on risk stratification, team communication, and post discharge communication and follow-up Program expansion is planned to look at targeted DRGs (CHF, AMI and Pneumonia) Modeling and predictive instruments used

48 Fundamental Innovation at Geisinger How and Why? Anatomy Continuum of Care (provider all-in ) Hub and spoke provider design Aligned incentives Insurance/provider joint goals Market Demography Brand Market share (insurance and provider) Electronic enabler across 43 counties

49 Fundamental Innovation at Geisinger How and Why? Financial Health Balance sheet Operating margin Hedging strategy Planned risk taking Sociology IHS culture Clinical leadership (insurance and provider) Patient centric design The common good goal

50 All of the above permissive but not enough Clinical leadership Pride of purpose Professionalism Overarching

51 Question: And Now What? Answer: Reengineering i Care!

52 More value for patients!

53 Or "Price controls!!"

54 Caveats I For all of the Innovations Cost in hospital Hospital volume Total cost of care New relationship to payer or New payment incentives or Backfilled volume with new payer mix

55 Caveats II Scalable? Applicable to non-integrated Delivery Systems? Applicable in absence of real-time EHR? Applicable in fee-for-service settings? Pending wider use in marketplace
