4 The Healthcare Quality/Value Challenges In the U.S. we spend more per capita on healthcare than any other country in the world In spite of those expenditures, U.S. Healthcare quality is often inferior to that of other nations and often doesn t meet expected evidence based guidelines There are significant variations in quality and costs across the nation with increasing evidence that there may be an inverse relationship between the two Healthcare expenditures account for a larger section of the U.S. economy over the years and funding those expenditures is increasingly more difficult 4
5 The Healthcare Quality/Value Challenges There continues to be considerable waste in the delivery of healthcare, as well as fraud & abuse CMS/HHS, and the executive branch is responsible for the healthcare of a growing number of persons in the public sector, and influences healthcare quality in the private sector CMS/HHS, in partnership/collaboration with other healthcare leaders, must address these issues Academic Medical Centers & Surgeons could provide great value Health Information Technology is indispensable in this The Affordable Care Act of 2010 is a major step forward to address the healthcare quality/value challenges 5
6 The Triple Aim Better Health for the Population Better Care for Individuals Lower Cost Through Improvement 6
7 IOM Aims for Quality Improvement Safety Effectiveness Patient centeredness Timeliness Efficiency Equity 7
8 Federal Stakeholders in the U.S. Healthcare System Department of Health & Human Services Veterans Affairs Department of Defense Department of Labor Department of Housing & Urban Development United States Coast Guard Office Personnel Management Federal Bureau of Prisons Federal Trade Commission Office of Management & Budget Department of Commerce National Highway Transportation & Safety Administration 8
9 Department of Health & Human Services: Agencies Secretary of HHS Administration for Children and Families Administration on Aging Agency for Healthcare Research & Quality Agency for Toxic Substances & Disease Registry Centers for Disease Control Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Food & Drug Administration Health Resources & Services Administration Indian Health Service National Institute of Health Program Support Center Substance Abuse & Mental Health Services Administration Multiple other Assistant Secretaries 9
10 Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Will provide health benefits for over 114 million Americans in FY 2011 PP Budget Medicare 48.1 million beneficiaries Medicaid 56.1 million beneficiaries CHIP 10 million beneficiaries Will spend $784 billion in FY 2011 PP Budget Medicare $476 billion Medicaid $297 billion CHIP $11 billion Effective January, 2011 incorporated the Office of Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight (OCIIO) as part of CMS 10
11 Ongoing CMS Core Medicare Work Provider payment focused activities Efficient, timely, accurate payment of claims Ongoing demonstrations and pilots of alternative payment methodologies and systems Addressing fraud & abuse Beneficiary focused activities Benefit education Health promotion and disease management education Beneficiary protection and advocacy Multiple tools to improve quality, efficiency and value Data collection & availability 11
12 Partners/Targets For Advocacy Federal Government Congress House: Ways & Means, Energy & Commerce Senate: Finance, HELP A variety of caucuses White House Many senior advisors Office of Management & Budget
13 Partners/Targets For Advocacy Executive Branch Agencies U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) Office of the Secretary, Office of the Assistant Secretary of Health Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Agency for Health Research & Quality (AHRQ) Centers for Disease Control (CDC) Food & Drug Administration (FDA) Health Resources and Service Administration (HRSA) National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of the National Coordinator (ONC) for HIT Many other HHS and other federal agencies have influence over surgical topics and issues
14 Partners/Targets For Advocacy Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Office of the Administrator Key Surgery Areas Office of Clinical Standards & Quality (OCSQ) Conditions of Participation, Conditions for Coverage Quality Improvement and Measurement Quality Improvement Organizations (QIOs) and ESRD Networks Information Services: Clinical Data systems Coverage decision making Center for Medicare Payment Center for Medicaid State Survey Agencies and regulatory oversight processes Regional Offices (10) Innovation Center
15 Partners/Targets For Advocacy State Governments Dialysis Providers/Organizations Professional Associations Renal Physicians Association American Society of Nephrology American Nephrology Nurses Association National Renal Administrators Association American Medical Association Kidney Care Partners Kidney Care Quality Alliance Private health plans Patient Advocacy Organizations: Should probably be #1 stop
16 Some Personal Notions & Experience Know the framework of the regulatory system that affects you, the people who run it, and work with them Congress passes laws (statutes) that direct federal agencies what to do and defines their authorities The President can sign or veto any law passed Agencies implement laws, following Congressional directives and intent, but if unclear have discretion to interpret the law as the agency (and executive branch leadership sees fit Regulations, through public rulemaking Administrative rulings, sometimes, with or without public comment Guidance and directives through manuals, letters, and other mechanisms There are multiple points at which advocates can effectively influence the above
17 Some Personal Notions & Experience Advocates can and do have major influence on the federal framework With regards to federal rulemaking Notice of Proposed Rule Making (NPRM) days of public comment Agency reviews comments, responds to all comments, and revises the proposed rule as indicated Final Rule is issued, published and implemented Cycles of rulemaking at CMS If final rules are unacceptable Influence subsequent laws and regulations Judicial challenges Elect new leaders
18 Ensuring Quality & Value: CMS Tools/Drivers/Enablers Contemporary Quality Improvement Transparency: Public Reporting & Data Sharing Incentives: Financial through payment reform Regulatory vehicles National & Local Coverage Decisions Demonstrations, pilots, research, innovation 18
19 Contemporary Quality Improvement Need to set priorities, goals and objectives, strategic framework first Evidence Based goals, metrics, interventions, evaluations Includes conformance with evidence based guidelines, balanced with patient centered considerations Cost effectiveness, let alone comparative effectiveness, has not yet been addressed adequately Rapid cycle development, implementation and change methodology Leveraging of resources and efforts: Current and future models collaboration, alignment, synergy, priorities Many examples: Hospital Quality Initiative, Organ Donation Campaign, QIOs, ESRD Networks, IHI, Bridges to Excellence, NCQA, Nursing & Home Health Campaigns, many health plan collaboratives, local collaboratives, etc. 19
20 Contemporary Quality Improvement : Collaboratives & Communities Quality Improvement Organization (QIO) 9 th SOW Care Transitions Theme Every Diabetic Counts Mississippi Health First (expanding to Texas) Links to: ACA Section 3025: Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program ACA Section 3026: Community Based Care Transitions Program 20

36 Goals for Value Based Purchasing Incentivize the best care and improve transparency for Beneficiaries Transform CMS from a passive payer to an active purchaser of care Link payment to quality outcomes and stimulate efficiencies in care Recognize and address potential unintended consequences for Beneficiaries 36
37 Hospital Value Based Purchasing : Background Hospital Value Based Purchasing Report to Congress 2007 Premier Demonstration and other Demos Experience with other reporting programs Hospital Inpatient and Outpatient Quality Reporting Programs Physician Quality Reporting System ESRD Quality Incentive Program beginning January 1,
38 Hospital Value Based Purchasing Program (HVBP) Affordable Care Act (ACA), Section 3001 Effective date: FY2013 payment for discharges on or after October 1, 2012 Criteria: Must be a Hospital Inpatient Quality Reporting Program participant Meets quality metrics by demonstrating improvement or high levels of achievement 38
39 Hospital Value Based Purchasing FY2013 Medicare payment based on quality measure performance 5 Clinical topics Acute Myocardial Infarction Heart Failure Pneumonia Surgeries and Hospital Acquired Infections (HAIs) HCAHPS patient survey 39
40 Hospital Value Based Purchasing Replace current 2% with HVBP in a 5 year phased in approach between FY 2013 and FY Payment Year RHQDAPU* HVBP** FY13 1% 1% FY % 1.25% FY % 1.50% FY % 1.75% FY17 0% 2.0% *Annual Payment Update **Reduction from the Base DRG payment for all hospitals 40
41 Regulation Conditions of Participation or Conditions for Coverage COPs are minimum health and safety standards set by CMS for facilities that may receive Medicare payments 17 separate provider/supplier settings have COPs Survey & Certification U.S. healthcare facilities certified must be in compliance with current Medicare regulations & applicable state laws S&C process uses interpretive guidelines to assess compliance with regulations 41 In combination, a powerful tool for quality/value
42 Other Tools National Coverage Decisions, Payment Policy, Benefit Design Deciding whether a device, service or therapy is paid for (or not) can influence quality of care E.g., Non payment for Hospital Acquired Conditions (HACs) E.g., Non coverage of Never Events for both hospitals or physicians E.g., limitation of services to qualified facilities or providers, such as ICD implantation, etc. CED and use of registries collects further quality information Patient incentives: Waiver of co pays Demonstrations, pilots, research Numerous CMS Demonstrations in past and going forward with the ACA 42
43 Conclusions CMS Statutory Authority provides powerful tools to focus on improving quality, value & patient safety QI by providers, payers, collaboratives, others Transparency: Public Reporting and Data Dissemination Incentives Regulatory compliance Coverage, benefit, and utilization purposes Research and Demonstrations Health Information Technology essential to above Opportunities for input & alignment abound 43

58 Innovation Fellowship Details (still pending) at conference 58
59 Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) Medicare Shared Savings Program (Section 3022) ACO Program must be implemented by January 1, 2012 ACO Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) issued March 31, 2011 Public comment ended June 6, 2011 Final rule publication date not determined (publicly) Encourages providers of services and supplies to: Create ACOs Be accountable for health & experience of care for individuals Improve population health Reduce rate of healthcare spending 59
60 ACO Proposed Rule Provisions Providers must notify beneficiary of participation Includes description of program, quality/cost focus Beneficiary can opt out & seek non ACO care Beneficiary to be notified of data sharing Purpose: Coordinate care better Beneficiary can t be required to see ACO providers Beneficiary may opt out of data sharing arrangements For those opting in, data sharing has limitations Patient selection controls to avoid cherry picking 60
61 ACO Proposed Rule Provisions Types of providers & suppliers Professionals (physicians, hospitals) in group practice arrangements Networks of individual practices of professionals Partnerships or joint ventures of hospitals & physicians Hospitals employing ACO professionals Others, as determined by the Secretary Governing body of ACO professionals and beneficiaries Application with detailed submission requirements Minimum responsibility for 5,000 beneficiaries 61
62 ACO Proposed Rule Provisions Rigorous (& complicated) monitoring plan In order to qualify for financial shared savings, must meet specified quality standards (65 proposed in NPRM) Quality reports to CMS, feedback to providers 50% of PCPs must meet meaningful use standards by year 2 Pubic reporting requirements Termination by CMS if: Avoidance of at risk patients Failure to meet quality standards 62
63 ACO Proposed Rule Provisions 3 year agreement at minimum Primary care driven model for organization Specialty driven ACO founders not proposed in NPRM Two shared savings risk models original proposal One sided Risk: ACO shares in any savings in first 2/3 years; Third year can lose money if costs >Medicare norm. Two sided Risk: ACO at risk all three years; can have greater % of savings share, however. Waivers allowed FTC of DOJ and IRS issues 63
64 Reaction to ACO NPRM Largely negative Too complicated, too restrictive Too much undefined risk No specialty focused ACOs Negative comments about each criteria component CMS responded in interim Pioneer ACO Model: Applications being accepted Advance Payment ACO Model: Public comments Accelerated Development Learning Sessions Final rule pending review of comments & policy decisions 64
65 ACO Final Rule Pending: Details (if available) at conference 65
66 Will ACOs be the Answer? Probably not, in the short to intermediate term The concept is intriguing, but whether it is translational is in doubt Can you replicate existing likely ACOs in other communities without requisite infrastructure? The model is untested, will it achieve the goals of better quality at lower costs? ACO program under ACA is a voluntary program that is essentially a demonstration Financial risk may not be assumable for many Consolidation, reduced competition? 2 nd Generation Managed Care? 66
67 ACA: Academic Medical Centers ACA Section 3025: Hospital Readmission Reduction Program ACA Section 3026: Community Based Care Transition Program Healthcare Delivery Research (Section 3501, AHRQ coordinating with CMS) Identifies best practice institutions, organizations, etc. Supports innovation in health care delivery system improvement Quality Improvement Technical Assistance (Section 3501) 67
68 ACA: Academic Medical Centers Establishing Community Health Teams to Support the Patient Centered Medical Home (Section 3502) Medication Management Services in the Treatment of Chronic Diseases (Section 3503) Emergency medicine regionalized systems and research, trauma care centers access & payment Demonstration to integrate quality improvement and patient safety education into healthcare worker education (Section 3508) National Health Care Workforce Commission (Section 5101) Recruitment, education and training, retention 68
69 ACA: Academic Medical Centers National Center for Health Care Workforce Analysis (Section 5103) Multiple student loan programs, various training & retention programs, & demonstration programs established Primary care Nurse led care, advanced practice nursing, etc. Allied health, public health, dental, pediatric, direct care professionals, geriatric, mental health, cultural competency in disabilities, mid career, etc. 69
70 ACA: Academic Medical Centers United States Public Health Services Track (Part D, Section 271) Centers of Excellence additional funding Medical Residency funding enhancements Teaching grants and demonstrations in graduate medical education The list goes on and on and on. But, will ACA survive the legal, political and funding challenges in its entirety? If not, which sections? Whether or not, will savings estimates be achieved? 70
71 Conclusions The Affordable Care Act provides innumerable opportunities to improve the quality, value and efficiency of healthcare in the United States CMS is a major implementation center for this historic piece of legislation Implementation crosses Medicare, Medicaid, CHIP and the entire health care sector, including the private sector Implementation affects fee for service as well as managed care models, plus untested new models 71
72 Conclusions There are numerous opportunities and needs for involvement of academic medical centers in implementation of ACA and further health reform in the future: Design of and leadership in contemporary quality improvement initiatives Huge gap in comparative & cost effective analysis/improvement, let alone basic clinical knowledge Ongoing input in review and improvement in clinical guidelines Balancing evidence based population RCT viewpoint with need for individual patient centered concerns 72
73 Conclusions Education of multiple audiences in evidencebased medicine use: Clinicians: Current/future, academic/community Policy makers Payers Patients, consumers and their families Development and use of quality and value metrics Multiple perspectives: Clinicians, patients, payers, etc. Relevance, actionability, accountability, attribution 73
74 Conclusions Collection, analysis, reporting and use of healthcare data Health Information Technology development, adoption and meaningful use via EHRs Other forms of data collection: Registries, claims, encounter data, telehealth, chart review, surveys, etc. Balance of scientific rigor vs.. information efficiency Minimization of burden Privacy & security Dissemination of data for widest possible appropriate use 74
75 Conclusions Development of and participation in new reimbursement and delivery systems Achieve the Triple Aim Higher quality leading to overall lower costs Innovation, rapid change & adaptability Care transitions and coordination Integration of delivery systems Patient Centered, all of IOM Quality Aims Public health focus, as well as individual health 75
76 Conclusions We cannot continue to cover and pay for everything that s available without considering: Evidence based coverage & payment decision making Comparative effectiveness and cost effectiveness analysis Overall costs involved, including global costs of lost productivity, quality of life, etc. But are Academic Medical Centers ready? Rapid cycle change, integrated systems (no departmental silos), authenticity & will to change (e.g., academic tenure?) 76
77 Conclusions The under emphasized topics (?ignored): End of life care & Palliative Care Health disparities reduction, not talk Racial/ethnic Geographic Age Gender Socioeconomic LGBT Medical Conditions 77
78 Healthcare Reform, Politics & Surgery Healthcare Reform in context of budget deficit ACA originally estimated by CBO to generate Joint Steering Committee must come up with $1.2 trillion in savings If not, reverts to sequestration process Current projections are that JSC may come up with $ billion of savings Shortfall of same amount will lead to additional sequestration cuts of $ billion from Medicare, Medicaid, CHIP 78
79 Healthcare Reform, Politics & Surgery Likely targets for further cuts: Post acute care setting: Long term care (SNFs), Home Health, Hospitals (especially GME) DME Sustainable Growth Rate (SGR) Tort Reform 2012 Election 79
