20 Key Characteristics of Accountable Care

21 Implications for the Industry High Level of Integration Low Fee-for-Service Payment Model Full Capitation 21

22 Difference Between an ACO and an HMO General Characteristic HMO ACO Geographic coverage Defined region Primary coverage based on primary care provider but also responsible for services provided outside the local area Stakeholders Patient mix Hospitals, physician organizations Hospitals, physician organizations Public ACO: minimum of 5000 Medicare patients (mixed patient demographics) Private: varies according to payer plan Care coordination Restricted through Increased flexibility contracting options Payment model FFS shifting to P4P P4P, partial capitation, bundled payments Performance measure HEDIS Locus of control Payer organization Physician Public: PQRI, meaningful use Private: HEDIS, NCQA, Premier

23 Key Characteristics Clinical Integration provides a conduit between various providers. Accumulation and sharing of information, leading to better outcomes Coordination of Care provide the care at the right time and at the right place Patient Engagement Empower and engage the patient, self-care concepts Financial Management Systems Highly competent staff and financial systems 23

24 Purpose is to Drive Alignment Reasons for: Declining physician incomes Changing physician demographics Realizing greater economies of scale Opportunity to improve reimbursement Offset physician shortages Improved patient outcomes 24

25 Purpose is to Drive Alignment Challenges Cultural hospitals, physicians and payers have different cultures Operational hospitals work separately while physicians work collaboratively Trust historical mistrust Autonomy and control who drives the bus? Sharing revenue how do you divide up the dollar? Capital where does the startup money come from? 25

26 What Will They Look Like? IPA-Directed Lead by Primary Care Providers with specialty groups and hospitals in the subordinate position, PCMH Multispecialty Physician Group Directed Directs ACO with the hospital subordinate Physician-hospital Organization Directed Partnerships with physician practices to take risk Integrated Delivery Network Directed Has control over hospitals, physicians, and ancillary services 26

27 What Will They Look Like? Limited Alignment Participation in managed care network Call coverage agreements with hospitals Hospital medical directorships Moderate Alignment Targeted cost incentives Joint ventures Full Alignment Employment Clinic model 27

28 Various Payment Models Full Prepayment Global Care Rates PCMH Reimbursement Fee-for-Service Loss of Autonomy Managed Care Network (IPAs, PHOs) Private Mergers Limited Alignment/ Integration Moderate Alignment/ Integration Full Alignment/ Integration Continuum of Reimbursement Design Outcome Measures Large % of Total Payment Care Coordination; Moderate % of Total Payments Simple (Mostly FFS); Small % Of Non-FFS Payments Greater Integration/Alignment

29 Getting Ready 29

30 Getting Ready Conduct self organizational assessment Organization culture and accountability level Clinical quality results Infrastructure Current Leadership Information and ability to share Current cost structure Do you have adequate access to capital Are you ready to take risk? 30

31 Getting Ready Conduct partner organizational assessment What is their vision? Can your organization collaborate with this partner? What is their level of clinical quality? Can they demonstrate cost effective care? How does = 3? 31
