1 Advancing Health Care Reform: The ACA and Medicare Aging Advocacy Summit Presented by Joyce Dubow Augusta, ME November 14, 2012
2 Presentation overview How consumers can engage in the 3 aims and help to reform health care Approaches to quality improvement and delivery in health reform legislation (ACA) ACA and Medicare Future of Medicare Implications of sequestration
3 The Three Aims (DHHS) Better healthcare: Improve individual patient experiences of care along the Institute of Medicine s six domains of quality: Safety, Effectiveness, Patient-centeredness, Timeliness, Efficiency, and Equity. Better health: Encourage better health for entire populations by addressing underlying causes of poor health, such as physical inactivity, behavioral risk factors, lack of preventive care and poor nutrition. Reduced costs: Lower the total cost of care resulting in reduced monthly expenditures for each Medicare, Medicaid or CHIP beneficiary by improving care.
4 Patient/Person Centeredness/Engagement
5 Patient Engagement: 2 pathways (1)Engagement in one s own health and health care; and Center for Advancing Health- actions individuals must take to obtain the greatest benefit from the health care services available to them (Jessie Gruman, et al., 2010) Judy Hibbard- Consumers taking on new roles and behaviors, such as choosing high performing providers; selecting evidencebased treatments; collaborating with their providers; taking preventive actions; self-management; being vigilant to prevent errors (2) Engagement in policy development and governance to ensure patient perspectives are addressed
6 Why Patient Engagement Now? Greater sense of urgency due to fiscal constraints of federal and state budgets and the unwillingness of purchasers to contribute to a system that doesn t produce good results HIT, and the need to tie clinical and patient decisions to evidence A demand for greater accountability through measurement and public reporting
7 How will we know success? Health care that gives each individual and family an active role in their care; Care that adapts readily to individual circumstances as well as differing cultures, languages, disabilities, health literacy levels, and social backgrounds; Sees a person as a multi-faceted Requires a partnership between the provider and the patient with shared power and responsibility Gives the patient access to understandable information and decision support tools Determines whether patients achieve their desired outcomes. (AHRQ Report to Congress, 3/2011)
8 Problem drivers Scientific uncertainty Perverse economic and practice incentives System fragmentation Opacity to cost and quality Changes in health status Lack of patient involvement
9 We get what we pay for, but not what we want Incentives for high volume and intensity Inadvertent reward for poor care (e.g., payment for readmissions, correction of mistakes) Procedures paid more than primary care No incentive to integrate care Payment does not differentiate between good/poor performance (no reward for high quality, no penalty for poor care)
10 Where we need to go Current system (Too) often, unsafe Fragmented, uncoordinated, unnecessary care Provider-focused Timely (?), rushed Inefficient, wasteful Disparate (geography, gender, age, race, ethnicity) Costly, >unaffordable IOM Aims for improvement Safe Effective Patient-centered Timely Efficient Equitable
11 How we get there Payment redesign to focus on results and value Quality and consistency in treatment Timely evidence that is independent, and understandable Clinical records that are reliable, shareable, and secure Transparency requirements on cost, quality, including outcomes IOM, the Healthcare Imperative, 2010
12 Health Care Reform: The ACA
13 Infrastructure to support quality goals Evidence base Performance measures Health Information Technology Robust workforce
14 ACA quality provisions that relate to delivery reform Infrastructure: develop evidence, measures, HIT; test new ideas; certify shared-decision making tools New models of care: Shared Savings Program (ACOs); medical/health homes Accountability: transparency/public reporting Financial incentives/payment reform Workforce reform/strengthen primary care Wellness and health promotion *(HITECH provisions in ARRA meaningful use of HIT have significant implications for quality)
15 Infrastructure National Strategy for Quality Strategy Improvement in Health Care (NQS) Make care safer by reducing harm caused in the delivery of care. Ensure that each person and family is engaged as partners in their care Promote effective communication and coordination of care Promote the most effective prevention and treatment practices for the leading causes of mortality, starting with cardiovascular disease Work with communities to promote wide use of best practices to enable healthy living Make quality care more affordable for individuals, families, employers, and governments by developing and spreading new health care delivery models.
16 ACA: evidence for clinical and patient decisions: PCORI Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute, a private, not-for-profit entity to: identify research priorities and a research agenda conduct research, with priority to AHRQ, NIH release and disseminate findings (which many not be used in making Medicare coverage determinations, or for reimbursement or incentive programs.)
17 Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) PCORI doesn t actually define patient engagement or patientcenteredness, but rather incorporates these concepts in its approach to research Research focuses on outcomes that people notice and care about: survival, function, symptoms, and health-related quality of life PCORI poses the following questions : Given my personal characteristics, conditions and preferences, what should I expect will happen to me? What are my options and what are the benefits and harms of those options? What can I do to improve the outcomes that are most important to me? and How can the health care system improve my chances of achieving the outcomes I prefer? PCORI models another aspect of patient engagement inclusion of patients at the governance level
18 Infrastructure: measure development and reporting ACA : quality infrastructure: capacity to measure performance Performance measurement to improve quality, safety and efficiency, promote accountability, payment, and delivery reform HHS will: develop and implement a national strategy ( ) identify and fund gaps in measures oversee a process for collecting and aggregating data develop a framework for public reporting engage in a consultative process with stakeholders on selection of national priorities and quality measure (5-11)
19 Infrastructure ACA: CMMI to test new ideas The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation to test innovative payment and service delivery models that enhance quality of care provided to Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries; implement innovations as they are ready for prime time Examples of initiatives: ACOs, bundled payments, Primary Care Initiative, FHQC Advanced Medical Homes, Medicaid Incentives for the Prevention of Chronic Diseases
20 ACA: advance accountability, reward good quality, greater efficiency Physicians rewarded for P4R through 2014, then those who fail to report lose $ Physicians participating in MOC eligible for bonuses HHS to provide physicians with information on their resource use In 2013, public reporting on Physician Compare Value-modifier to reward physicians who deliver better care, lower costs
21 Delivery reform ACA: new delivery models Medicare Shared Savings Program (ACOs) Medical Homes pilot (Health Homes in Medicaid) Medicare Community-based Care Transitions program Independence-at-home demonstration
22 ACOs in the traditional Medicare Governance program (MSSP) Process to promote patient-centeredness, patient engagement, use of evidence Quality measurement and reporting Beneficiary notices Data sharing Risk sharing
23 ACO: whole-person orientation Seamless, coordinated, integrated care, available 24/7 Responsive, respectful, care that recognizes patients as equal partners in care decisions and delivery Ongoing efforts to examine care to improve performance, eliminate disparities
24 Patient engagement in ACOs ACO functions to demonstrate patient engagement: Patient involvement in governance Use of a patient experience survey Process for evaluating and addressing needs of population served Systems to identify high-risk individuals Mechanisms in place to coordinate care via enabling technologies Written standards for beneficiary access and communication Process to allow for shared decision making Communicating clinical knowledge in a way that is understandable to patients
25 Financial incentives ACA: accountability, incent better care, lower costs Hospital readmission reduction program Reduced payment for excess readmissions for 3 high cost/high volume procedures (acute MI, HF, Pneu) Public reports of readmission rates on Hospital Compare Assistance for hospitals with high rates of readmission Reduced payment for hospital/healthcare acquired conditions (e.g., bedsores, complications from extended use of catheters, injuries caused by falls) in the 25 percent of hospitals with highest rates)
26 Payment reform Payment to incent improvement Bundled payments encourage individual and shared accountability for entire episodes of care (including acute and post-acute care) or for a bundle of services Reimbursement for all the services needed by a patient for a treatment or condition across multiple providers or settings
27 Delivery reform ACA: strengthen primary care Increase payment to primary care providers (Medicare bonuses, Medicare rates for Medicaid providers) Establishing community health teams to support PCMH (grants, contracts) Support for training clinicians in primary care Community-based collaborative care networks (with FHQCs) to serve low-income individuals ACOs, PCMH pilots
28 Accountability/transparency/public reporting ACA: advance accountability, reward good quality, greater efficiency Physicians rewarded for P4R through 2014, then those who fail to report lose $ Physicians participating in MOC eligible for bonuses HHS to provide physicians with information on their resource use In 2013, public reporting on Physician Compare Value-modifier to reward physicians who deliver better care, lower costs
29 Meaningful use HITECH Meaningful Use Use of technology to achieve significant improvement in care Financial incentives ties payment specifically to the achievement of advances in health care processes and outcomes Stage 1 identifies core objectives basic functions to enable an EHR to support care improvement (vital signs, demographics, medications, allergies, problem list, smoking status) Provide patients with electronic versions of their health information
30 Summary of ACA steps to improve quality: an advocacy agenda Build the evidence base: comparative effectiveness research Incent HIT and data exchange Promote accountability through transparency/public reporting Align payment with performance Bundled, episode-based payments Penalties for preventable re-hospitalizations MA bonuses for attainment/improvement in quality Improve health service delivery Primary care; Medical homes; ACOs Care coordination Promote wellness and prevention Adopt enhanced role for patients through shared decision making and greater engagement through self-efficacy Appropriations
31 Public Policies to Support Patient Engagement Provider payment to incent patient-centered delivery of care Publication of patient experience and patient-reported outcomes Shared decision making grounded in evidence Value-based benefit design to encourage better patient choices Encourage patient-centered delivery Investment in and support of EHR adoption to facilitate patient access to their health information; enhance communication with clinicians; and enhance care coordination Encourage patient-centered delivery models through support of primary care, shared savings, etc.
