5 Definition of Clinical Integration > In the words of the Federal Trade Commission:... an active and ongoing program to evaluate and modify practice patterns by the network's physician participants and create a high degree of interdependence and cooperation among the physicians to control costs and ensure quality... This program may include: (1) establishing mechanisms to monitor and control utilization of health care services that are designed to control costs and assure quality of care; (2) selectively choosing network physicians who are likely to further these efficiency objectives; and (3) the significant investment of capital, both monetary and human, in the necessary infrastructure and capability to realize the claimed efficiencies.

6 Objectives of Clinical Integration > Establish a network of providers that enables enhanced coordination of care > Create a new partnership model with employed and independent physicians that includes defined roles for physician leadership > Define performance improvement initiatives to provide demonstrated value to the market > Provide a platform for joint contracting to support care redesign and performance improvement initiatives > Create a model for success under value-based (risk) contracts > Satisfy FTC requirements > Avoid the cost of acquisition 6

7 Organizations Must Be Physician-Led Requires deep integration of providers > Physicians are the main players in healthcare & organizations need to understand their needs 7

9 Legal Analysis and Options > Utilize up-to-date FTC and DOJ guidance > Organize in a structure that supports program objectives Physician-Hospital Organization Independent Practice Association Subsidiary of the Health System > Each legal option is capable of achieving clinical quality + financial objectives though differ in ownership structure and capitalization requirements > Example- some hospitals and physicians already have a PHO or IPA in place and are using those entities as the foundation for their CI programs 9

10 Physician Governance Create a Winning Team > Physicians and hospitals need to play nice in the sandbox > Allow physicians to guide the development of care strategies and clinical protocols > Diversify clinical integration governance committee and include physicians that represent different perspectives > Identify leaders and champions in the community > Include the difficult physicians 10

11 Conditions of Participation > Member physicians or groups in the CI network must sign a participation agreement > Critical that members adhere to guidelines > Physicians must be active participants in program activities > Ensure that stated objectives are met and that network s value proposition is able to be demonstrated to the market 11

12 Quality & Performance Measures > Clinical quality and operational improvement projects are necessary components of a CI program > Defines how quality is measured; adopt and promote EBGs > Allows physicians to take an active role in care redesign and protocol development to: Increase quality More effectively manage costs Reduce variation and eliminate unnecessary waste Improve care delivery at the local level > Performance initiatives span across specialties and sites of care 12

21 Contracting Options & Rewards for Value > Although the sole purpose for creating a CI network is not negotiating better rates with payers--- CI Networks are rewarded for demonstrated value > VALUE = the highest quality care at the lowest cost > Able to contract with payers and employers (including health system) > Arrangements range from specific procedure to population of patients 21

22 Reward For Performance > Examples of contracting models that reward for performance: Enhanced base rates- increased fee-for-service rates based on expected performance Performance incentives- incentive payments made for performance improvement initiatives Shared savings- savings shared based on a reduction in the cost of care 22

23 Incentive Alignment > Calculation and distribution of CI incentives to physicians and to the health system occur after performance is achieved Realized through cost savings Quality and efficiency programs negotiated > Funds distributed based on meeting performance objectives and can be defined in a variety of ways > Distribute rewards based on measurable performance > Reduce complexity of distribution methodology > Increase transparency across network 23

24 Aligned Incentives: Action Steps > Pay for performance incentive plan > Healthcare is regional so its important for physicians to help set criteria > Consider individual and group incentives > Takes a team to care for patients > Set tangible measureable targets > Use what you have > National Benchmarks > Baseline clinical outcomes > Patient safety > Patient satisfaction scores > Research Findings > Develop new measures > Outcomes > Efficiency > Regionalized > Attributable > Constantly reassess measures for appropriateness and measurability 24

25 Incentivizing Change Align Incentives Program Assumptions: Modify compensation to reward desired outcomes Compensation must be altered for a significant portion of a practice for physicians to take notice Incentives should mimic what your are trying to accomplish at each phase 25

26 Aligned Incentives: Use of IT Tools > Get doctors accustomed to looking at reports > Give them actionable tools that help today s practice > Pay them to attend training > Pay them to use CPOE > Pay for EMR/E-prescribing adoption > Begin to pay for performance improvement + meeting quality targets 26
