1 The Quality Hierarchy for ESRD Patients The Integrated Care Management Imperative Allen R. Nissenson, MD, FACP Chief Medical Officer, DaVita HealthCare Partners, Inc. UCLA Nephrology Grand Rounds

2 Background We are working harder but making less Quality and financial incentives are not aligned Lack of understanding, cooperation, and collaboration between: Hospitals & physicians Physicians & physicians Current trends in healthcare growth and Medicare spending are unsustainable 2

3 Background: Estimated Numbers of Point Prevalent ESRD Patients USRDS

4 Background: Financial Drivers ~1.5% of Patients 1,2 ~10% of Costs ESRD + Late Stage CKD ~$30B per year Other Medicare Other Medicare 1 Source: USRDS (publicly available comprehensive clinical and financial dataset reported to and used by CMS) 2 ~375K ESRD + ~300K Stage 4 Chronic Kidney Disease 4

22 A Powerful and Meaningful Message Rallying our TMs, our Village QOL Mortality Hospitalization Patient Experience Bringing Quality to Life 22

23 Deaths per 100 Patient Years Gross Mortality 2012 preliminary figure derived from internal data 23

24 Patient Experience 1 CAHPS forms a strong foundation 2 Significant analytics in-progress 3 Goal: World-leader in patient experience 24

25 Admissions per Patient Year Hospital Admissions (DaVita) Unadjusted analyses; source: USRDS 25

26 Admissions per Patient Year Hospital Admissions by Provider (2009) Unadjusted analyses; source: USRDS 26

27 What Causes Hospitalizations? Percent of Total Admissions Fluid-excess (directly & indirectly related) 30.4% CVD (controllable) 9.9% Fluid overload 6.5% Hypertension 5.3% CHF 4.0% Fluid and electrolyte disorders 2.7% CVD (non-controllable) 2.1% Infection (directly related) 19.9% Vascular access 10.4% Septicemia 5.5% Vaccine preventable pneumonia 4.0% Diabetes (directly related) 5.1% Diabetes 4.3% Diabetes-related amputation 0.9% Other 0.3% Depression 0.3% Total listed above 55.7% All additional causes (e.g. brain aneurysm) 44.3% Grand total 100.0% 2009 USRDS data; DVA patients. 27

29 CLINICAL PROGRAMS: Development, Support and Goal-Setting

30 How it All Will Work, Effectively and Efficiently Where we have are going been 30

31 Structured Prioritization, Innovation, Testing, & Scale Alignment First, decide what projects to take on Aligned with strategy / value? Discovery Learn, hypothesize, define, test, pilot, analyze Go / no-go decision; if go, hand to Diffusion Diffusion Deploy, scale, make it sticky (integrate w/it) Determine next step Measurement Determine created value Next steps (continue? back to Discovery? etc.) 31

32 Clinical Execution Model: Requirements and Tactics Checklists Process Common Glossary language Committees Governance & Councils Execution Model Documentation StarPoint mgmt system Planning, Master calendar Promotion, & ticklers Preparation Information Communication sharing & plan collaboration 32

33 Clinical Execution Model Checklist Our Process (i.e. the steps) 33

34 Segment Checklist & Associated Forms Our Activities (i.e. actions) 34

35 Graduated Clinical Performance Support Opportunity Type of Support Developing Testing mode As needed (pilot facilities) Diffusing Mature Optimized Significant: mean and variability Minor: mean Significant: variability Minor: mean and variability Active surveillance and intervention (ASI) <20% ASI, >20 watchful monitoring (WM) WM for all 35

38 Pilot Networks Top 4 programs Each with multiple pilots Each across multiple years Additional pilots needed from other clinical teams (VH, Rx, Home, etc) Will require extensive network of pilot facilities, so none are overburdened 38

39 Clinical Roundtable Build a FORUM for people AROUND THE VILLAGE to talk about CLINICAL PROGRAMS in a MEANINGFUL WAY 39

40 Goals of NQW Advance the clinical agenda in pursuit of becoming TGHCTWHES... By assembling a CROSS-FUNCTIONAL group of leaders... To provide INPUT AND GUIDANCE on key clinical strategic and tactical issues, and To improve COLLABORATION AND UNDERSTANDING between Atlas & Field leaders 40

41 NQW 2013: Continuing the Momentum 2012 Topics & Outcome Infection management Clinical prioritization filters Infection mgmt now one of Big 4 Complex Programs Output from deep-dive used in program design 2013 Topics & Outcome Preparedness for large influx of complex clinical programs in coming years Field preparedness for earlier and more effective self-management of mature clinical programs 7 high-value topics to be tackled by NQW sub-groups Filters developed at NQW now used in Alignment prioritization process 41

42 Integrated Care Mgmt

43 The Key Issues Heredity vs environment (what makes us tick) Physicians are humans Companies are collections of humans FFS, and Bundles are not conducive to true integrated care Most integration services are separate from core dialysis care delivery Existing TMs main role will be to achieve excellent results from Fundamentals and Complex Programs aimed at Mortality, Hospitalizations, and Patient Experience 43

44 Innovation in the Delivery Model PAST Provider-centric Volume driven Quality given attention No focus on inefficiency Lack of alignment FUTURE Patient-centric Quality driven Utilization focused Collaboration focus Safety focus Safety?? 44
