Comparison group is the per capita national change in Medicare expenditures, not regional comparison.

13 Patient Centered Medical Home 6/23/10 BOD Approval 6/23/11 Last application submitted NCQA Recognition Achieved August 2011 Level 3 (highest level) 34 primary care sites Last RN care coordinators hired April 2012 Specialty Care Coordination Quality Measures Accountable Care Organizations ACO Health Information Technology Patient Experience Better Care Primary Care

14 Technical strategies Easier Data Collection Data Sharing EHR/EMRs Adaptive strategies - Harder Technical vs. Adaptive Strategies Working to develop processes for implementation Developing consensus Getting through the Five Stages of Data Denial, Depression, Anger, Bargaining, Acceptance Leadership on the Line: Staying Alive through the Dangers of Leading Heifetz, Linsky HBS Press 2002

20 Decision Making Process Why Pioneer ACO Pilot

21 Wal-Mart wants to be your MD dramatically.... lower the cost of healthcare.. become the largest provider of primary healthcare services in the nation. 21

22 STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS High Coordination FUTURE -$ $$ Low Risk TODAY -$ High Risk REIMBURSEMENT Low Coordination

23 10,500 Healthcare Partners Pioneer ACO Simulation Results 10,000 9,500 National Trend 9,000 8,500 8,000 7,500 7,000 6,500 Base Healthcare Partners Trend 2006 Baseline Savings National Target 23

24 Challenges in Implementation Pioneer ACO Pilot

25 Corresponding Business Framework Shareholder Shares Investment Dividends Bellin ThedaCare Healthcare Partners Physician & clinic partners asked to participate Obtain units of risk/reward & costs Financial support for improvement & efficiency Equal distribution of Shared Savings / Losses

26 Team Based Approach SNF Example of After Care Process: Clinical & Data Analysis Team After Care cost issue identified by CMS claims & Thompson Reuters report Confirmed by claims data (After care is 15-20% of all payments) High Level Overview Not actionable Analysis of payments by After Care category (SNF, Home Health, Hospice, Swing bed) Identification of high cost / high use facilities Determination of Length of Stay and readmission rates by facility Detailed analysis Actionable Info. Determine clinical actions necessary (augment with clinical results & data)

27 Coordination between multiple government agencies Outside the box thinking does not work well in a highly regulated environment CMMI has its plate full (SSP, Pioneer, CPCI, Innovation Challenge, etc.) CMS Bureaucracy

28 A Ha s Pioneer ACO Pilot

29 Pioneer ACO Shared Savings / Losses & Costs 100% The Model 694 Physicians Shared Savings / Losses & Costs 50% of Total Hospital System Shared Savings / Losses & Costs 50% of Total 354 Independent Physicians 26% of Total 340 Employed Physicians 24% of Total Equal to or greater than 50% of Independent Physicians participate Independent Physician receive between one and two units Less than 50% of Independent Physician participate Independent Physician receive one unit and health systems will assume remaining units

32 Questions?

33 Medicare Shared Savings ACO Mark Kaufman, MD, Senior Vice President and Chief Medical Officer, Dean Clinic

34 Dean and St. Mary s Accountable Care Journey Partnership for Healthcare Payment Reform Summit June 20, 2012

35 Dean and St. Mary s Dean Health System Multi-specialty physician group practice 800 providers with over 1.5 million ambulatory visits per year Network of more than 60 locations St. Mary s Hospital in Madison Part of SSM Healthcare in St. Louis First ever health care winner of the Malcolm Baldridge Quality Award Part of SSM of Wisconsin Hospitals in Madison, Baraboo and Janesville plus SNFs Strategic partnership since 1912 Joint ownership Dean Health Insurance - 320,000 members; largest HMO in Wisconsin Navitus - over 2 million customers SMDV rural clinics and ASCs Page 35

36 Being Accountable for Care Nothing new for Dean and St. Mary s Long standing commitment to delivering better care at a lower cost At risk for medical costs since 1983 through Dean Health Insurance Commitment to transparency in outcomes reporting WCHQ HEDIS Page 36

37 Why Consider Pursuing Formal ACO Designation? Natural evolution in our value based journey Dean s current revenue stream has major capitation basis Adding Medicare ACO patients will further catalyze Believe that reimbursement will continue to shift from fee for service to value based care ACO aligns with Dean and St. Mary s emphasis on patient-centeredness, clinical quality, service and costeffective care Page 37

38 Medicare Options Less CMS Risk Continuum More Medicare Cost Comprehensive Primary Care Bundled Payments X4 ACO Track 1 ACO Track 2 Pioneer ACO Medicare Advantage = Insurance Product Page 38

39 ACO Comparison Considerations Pioneer and MSSP similarities 33 quality performance metrics Financial gain sharing opportunities Pioneer and MSSP distinctions Track 1 does not have downside financial risk Pioneer and Track 2 have downside financial risk Only Track 2 limits the downside financial risk Page 39

40 Pioneer versus MSSP Decision Dean and St. Mary s applied to be a Pioneer ACO We were very proud to be offered Pioneer but, ultimately, declined the opportunity We have applied for MSSP Track 2 with anticipated start date of July 1, 2012 Page 40

41 Why MSSP Track 2? Timing issues were the primary drivers Plan to manage our estimated 17,000 ACO patients very intensively All patients: HRAs; shared decision making; health promotion/outreach Moderate risk patients: all the above plus DM and remote care coordination High risk patients: all the above plus CM, CC, home care social support and palliative care Data and sophisticated analytics will be essential In the process of building an integrated data warehouse with robust CRM capabilities The additional 6-12 months that MSSP affords was a key factor in our decision Pioneer start date was 1/1/2012 Page 41

42 Why MSSP Track 2? Secondary considerations MSSP Track 2 limits the downside financial risk while Pioneer does not MSSP Track 2 has a larger gain sharing opportunity compared to Track 1 Our relatively low cost of care makes MSSP Track 2 more attractive than Pioneer because of the different methodologies to update baseline benchmarks Page 42

43 Page 43 Delivering Value

44 ACO Challenges Managing as a carve out and at the point of care Timeliness of data from CMS Building a data warehouse based on Epic ACO population risk stratification CRM capability Achieving the appropriate balance between investment in medical management and return Financial and clinical Page 44
