4 1.0 Introduction The purpose of this document is to provide direction to Local Health Integration Networks (LHINs) regarding the in-year management of Quality-Based Procedures (QBP) under Health System Funding Reform (HSFR). Specifically, this document outlines policies regarding QBP reallocations, reconciliations and recoveries for the 2015/16 fiscal year. This document also contains other general requirements and conditions related to QBPs (see Appendix). 1.1 Scope These instructions apply to LHIN-managed QBPs (see Figure 1). Cancer Care Ontario (CCO) will provide separate instructions regarding volume management for CCO-managed QBPs. There will be no movement of volumes and funding between LHIN-managed and CCO-managed QBPs. Figure 1. LHIN-Managed QBPs in Hospitals Elective Primary Unilateral Hip and Knee Replacement Primary Bilateral Hip and Knee Replacement Inpatient Rehab (Hip and Knee Replacement) Unilateral Cataract Non-Cardiac Vascular (note 1) Tonsillectomy Knee Arthroscopy Non-Elective Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Stroke Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) Hip Fracture Pneumonia Neonatal Jaundice Figure 2. LHIN-Managed QBPs in the Community Elective Community Rehab Hip and Knee Replacement (CCAC / Hospital Outpatient) (note 2) Notes: 1) See Sections 2.0 and 5.1 for instructions regarding reallocations and reconciliations of non-cardiac vascular QBPs. 2) See Section 4.3 for instructions regarding reallocations from the Community Care Access Centre (CCAC) to Hospital Outpatient Rehabilitation. 4
5 2.0 Reallocations LHINs have discretion to perform the following QBP reallocations, provided the movement is consistent with the Principles for LHIN-Managed Volume Movement (see Section 3.0). QBP Reallocations Hospital QBPs Example Within QBPs Between QBPs within Elective and Non-Elective categories (see Figure 1) Non-Cardiac Vascular Hip Replacement from Hospital A to Hospital B Hip Replacement from Hospital A to Knee Replacement at Hospital B Stroke at Hospital A to Congestive Heart Failure at Hospital A Consult with ministry Community QBPs Within QBPs Between QBPs Hip Rehabilitation from CCAC to Hospital Outpatient CCAC Hip Rehabilitation to CCAC Knee Rehabilitation Between Sectors Within QBPs Inpatient Rehabilitation to Outpatient Rehabilitation at Hospital A The movement of volumes between elective and non-elective QBPs (see Figure 1) is not permitted. Prior to implementing any reallocations of non-cardiac vascular QBPs, LHINs are required to consult with the ministry by contacting QBPInquiries@ontario.ca. 5
6 3.0 Principles for LHIN-Managed Volume Movement The goal of Health System Funding Reform (HSFR) is to implement a strategic funding system that promotes the delivery of high-quality health care services across the continuum of care, and is driven by evidence and efficiency. Based on the key principles of quality, sustainability, access, and integration, HSFR aligns with the four core principles of the Excellent Care for All Act. As such, LHINs will be required to ensure that QBP volume movement is based on the following principles, which align with the Quality Domains in the QBP Integrated Scorecards. Quality Domain Effectiveness Appropriateness Integration Efficiency Access Patient- Centeredness Innovation Principles Supports improved outcomes of care and reduced adverse events (e.g. infections) by considering how results vary across providers. Supports improved appropriateness by considering how care aligns with the QBP Clinical Handbooks and in a way that avoids overuse, underuse or misuse where appropriate (e.g. substitution from inpatient to outpatient, less invasive procedures, discharge to community, reduced lengths of stay). Supports improved integration by considering how all parts of the health system are organized, connected and working with one another to provide high quality care (e.g. reduce 30 day readmission rate). Supports improved efficiency by considering the best use of available resources to yield the maximum benefit (e.g. proportion of QBPs with actuals costs less than the QBP price). Supports improved access by considering whether those in need of care are able to access services when needed (e.g. wait times, distance patients have to travel to receive appropriate care related to the QBP). Supports improved patient-centeredness by considering how results vary across providers (e.g. rate of patients involved in treatment decision, coordination of care). Supports adoption of innovative changes in the delivery of health care services. 6
7 4.0 Rates for Reallocations 4.1 One-Time Reallocations LHINs will have discretion to perform reallocations at a funding rate determined by the LHIN, provided the volume movement: Results in the same or more volumes being completed for reallocations within QBPs. Is cost neutral and does not result in a funding pressure. If the reallocation results in savings, the LHIN may use the savings to invest in additional QBP services. This applies to both reallocations between HSFR hospitals and between HSFR and non-hsfr hospitals. 4.2 Permanent Reallocations LHINs are required to identify permanent reallocations (i.e. intended to impact future years) in their QBP Volume Movement Reports. The ministry will adjust the Case Mix Index (CMI) of the receiving hospital based on the CMI of cases being received, as needed, to ensure that the net impact is cost neutral. For permanent reallocations between HSFR hospitals and non-hsfr hospitals, the amount of funding to be transferred will be based on the CMI of the HSFR hospital. 4.3 Reallocations From CCAC to Hospital Outpatient Currently, hospital outpatient rehabilitation is not funded as a QBP. As a result, for reallocations of QBP Unilateral/Bilateral Hip and Knee Replacement Rehabilitation from the CCAC to hospitals for outpatient rehabilitation, the hospitals will be provided with non-qbp base funding. For permanent reallocations from CCAC to hospital outpatient, the LHIN will need to: Input a base funding recovery batch in the Allocation Payment and Tracking System (APTS) for the CCAC; Input a base payment batch in APTS for the hospitals for an amount that is lower than or equal to the base recovery from the CCAC; and Ensure the CCAC s opening annualized base allocation reflects these reductions in the following year s HSFR funding allocations. 7
8 5.0 Reconciliations and Recoveries 5.1 Year-End Recovery of Funds The ministry will reconcile the 2015/16 QBP funded volumes against actual volumes achieved for each hospital and CCAC (i.e. surplus CCAC QBP funding cannot be offset against other CCAC pressures). Any funds not used for the specific intended purpose will be subject to recovery by the ministry at year-end. For hospitals, the ministry will net volumes and funding within the elective and non-elective QBP categories (see Figure 1) for each hospital, with the exception of non-cardiac vascular. There will be no netting between elective and non-elective QBPs or between hospitals in the LHIN. LHINs and health service providers will not receive additional funding if the total netted funding amount exceeds their allocated funding. Funding and volumes for non-cardiac vascular QBPs will be reconciled separately. The data sources for year-end actuals are: Hospitals Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) Discharge Abstract Database (DAD) / National Ambulatory Care Reporting System (NACRS); and CCACs Home Care Database (HCD). LHINs/hospitals that are in the process of significant shifts in activity away from QBPs towards non-qbp services should work with the ministry prior to fiscal year-end to determine any appropriate adjustments to their QBP allocation that would impact year-end reconciliation. 5.2 Rates for Recoveries The ministry will use the hospital-specific funding rate and CCAC-specific funding rate for the purposes of reconciliation (i.e. to calculate the value of services over or under the allocated volumes). The hospital-specific rates and CCAC-specific rates are listed in the 2015/16 HSFR Impact Analysis provided to each LHIN (see HBAM-Adjusted Total Cost Per Case or HBAM- Adjusted Direct Cost Per Case, depending on the QBP). 8
9 6.0 Process The following table outlines the process for QBP volume management in 2015/16: Date July 2015 Activity Ministry distributes HSFR funding letters to LHINs, including QBP funding and volumes for hospitals and Community Care Access Centres (CCACs). LHINs may reallocate QBP volumes at their discretion (see Section 2.0) based on Principles for LHIN-Managed Volume Movement (see Section 3.0), or consult with the ministry for Non-Cardiac Vascular QBPs. July 2015 to March 2016 LHINs inform the ministry of QBP reallocations by submitting a QBP Volume Movement Report to the ministry at QBPInquiries@ontario.ca no later than February 23, LHINs submit Allocation and Payment Tracking System (APTS) requests related to reallocations. All APTS requests must occur no later than March 8, Ongoing (up to June 30, 2016) Hospitals report QBP volumes to the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) Discharge Abstract Database (DAD) / National Ambulatory Care Reporting System (NACRS). The 2015/16 year-end cut-off date for reporting is June 30, Hospitals also report QBP volumes via the Self Reporting Initiative (SRI). The 2015/16 year-end cut off for reporting is June 30, CCACs report clinical cases and services to the Homecare Database (HCD) on quarterly basis. September to December 2016 Ministry issues reconciliation letters to hospitals and CCACs (copying LHINs) and recovers funding associated with QBP volumes not completed. 7.0 Contact Information For questions related to QBP volume management and operational policies, please contact QBPInquiries@ontario.ca. 9
