3 Go Beyond the Status Quo It isn t the mountains ahead to climb that wear you out; it s the pebble in your shoe. Muhammad Ali 3

4 Shaping the Curve 4

5 Another Way of Looking at This 85% by 2016 and 90% by 2018 of this category 30% by end of 2016 & 50% by end of 2018 of this category Description Category 1: Fee for Service No Link to Quality Payments are based on volume of services and not linked to quality or efficiency Category 2: Fee for Service Link to Quality At least a portion of payments vary based on the quality or efficiency of healthcare delivery Category 3: Alternative Payment Models with Fee For Service Base Some payment is linked to the effective management of a population or an episode of care Payments still triggered by delivery of services, but opportunities for shared savings or 2-sided risk Category 4: Population-Based Payment Payment is not directly triggered by service delivery so volume is not linked to payment Clinicians and organizations are paid and responsible for the care of a beneficiary for a long period (e.g., >1 year) Examples Limited in Medicare fee-forservice Majority of Medicare payments now are linked to quality Hospital value-based purchasing Physician Value-Based Modifier Readmissions/Hospital Acquired Condition Reduction Program Accountable care organizations Medical homes Bundled payments Eligible Pioneer accountable care organizations in years 3-5 Some Medicare Advantage plan payments to clinicians and organizations Some Medicare-Medicaid (duals) plan payments to clinicians and organizations Source: Rahul Rajkumar, MD, JD; Patrick H. Conway, MD, MSc; Marilyn Tavenner, RN, MHA CMS- Engaging Mulitple Payers in Payment Reform. JAMA. 2014;311(19(:

6 CMS Accelerates the Tipping Point for Everyone HHS goal of 30 percent traditional FFS Medicare payment through alternative payment models by the end of percent by the end of 2018 HHS Press Office % of payment tied to quality and value metrics (ex. Hospital Value Based Purchasing, Hospital Readmission Reduction Program) Traditional, Fee for Service Alternative Payment Models 6

8 Alignment of Strategy and Metrics Questions to Ask How many metrics am I tracking? How many metrics are duplicated? Do they have the same numerator and denominator? Source? Are they aligned with our results and strategic goals? What contracts are coming up for renewal that should have new metrics or should be at risk (mgd care, medical directorships, PMAs, etc.) What are we focused on?

27 HAC Summary Potential addition of three metrics to PSI-90 composite through the NQF review process: Perioperative hemorrhage rate, Perioperative physiologic metabolic derangement rate and Post-operative operative respiratory failure rates. Would engage in additional rule-making if so Finalization of time periods for FY 2017: Domain 1= 24 month period ending 6/30/15 and Domain 2= CY 2014 and Weights are: Domain 1=15% and Domain 2= 85% Narrative on scoring if data is not reported and a waiver is not obtained-a score of 10 will be assigned Refinements in measurements for CLABSI and CAUTI to include Non-ICU locations starting in 2018 (CY 2015 and 2016 performance periods) Exception policy/waiver for hospitals that experience disasters or other extraordinary circumstances 27

29 Expansion of Pneumonia Expansion to include principal diagnosis of aspiration pneumonia, sepsis and respiratory failure with a secondary diagnosis of pneumonia present on admission Retrospective analysis on FY 2015 Mortality shows: Expansion would include an additional 686,605 patients bringing the total to 1,663,195 patients An additional 86 hospitals would meet the min case requirement 41% of the cohort would consist of these expanded definitions Retrospective analysis on 2015 Readmissions shows: An additional 670,491 patients for a total of 1,765,450 patients An additional 67 hospitals would meet the min case requirement 38% of the cohort would consist of these expanded definitions 29

33 MACRA: Physician Payments Payment rates for will be.5% annually and then frozen Thereafter tiered.25% (MIPS participants) or.75% (APM participants). Creates MIPS: Merit-Based Incentive Payment System Starts 2019 & combines EHR incentive program, PQRS and VBPM Develops 4 categories of measures Quality, Resource Use, Clinical Improvement, & EHR Use Range of payment adjustments In 2019: -4% to +12% In 2027: -9% to +27% Program is budget neutral Allows providers in Alternative Payment Models (APMs) to opt out of MIPS and can be eligible to receive 5% lump sum bonus

34 SNF Value-Based Purchasing Good chance we are in the performance period now Requires 2 metrics: all cause readmissions and preventable readmissions Effective 10/1/18, with a 2% withhold Part of SGR fix in 2014 so not budget neutral: only 50%-70% to be returned to SNFs Same formula as hospital readmissions penalty 34

35 Medicare: Home Health Agencies 1. Announced in July the start of Star Ratings 2. Low spend providers in APMs 3. On July 6, 2015, CMS proposed the HHVBP Authorized by the ACA and implemented by CMMI as of 1/1/16 with the first payment year to be 1/1/18. Baseline year is CY15. Comments due by Sept. 4, 2015 Will be among all HHAs in 9 states: random selection Mass., Md., N.C., Fla., Wash., Ariz., Iowa, Neb., Tenn.

40 Aetna Defines Value Based Care Value Based Care is emerging as a solution to address rising health care costs, clinical inefficiency and duplication of services, and to make it easier for people to get the care they need. In value-based models, doctors and hospitals are paid for helping keep people healthy and for improving the health of those who have chronic conditions in an evidence-based, cost-effective way. This is a departure from the traditional fee-for-service approach. With fee-for-service, doctors and hospitals are paid based on the number of health care services they deliver, such as tests and procedures. Payment generally has little to do with whether their patients health improves Accountable Care Organization 2. Patient Centered Medical Home 3. Pay 4 Performance (FFS Base) 4. Bundled Payments 40
