1 Tennessee Health Care Innovation Initiative More information available at:
2 Delivery System Transformation Payment Reform is essential since the current health care delivery system as a whole is simply not sustainable. Right now the system is mostly fee-forservice meaning a service is provided and the provider submits a claim for reimbursement. Therefore more services means more payment. Met with more than 100 different groups from across the state in more than 80 meetings between Feb. and Oct Includes providers, payers and other stakeholders Focus on population-based care (preventative) and episodebased care (acute) Three technical advisory groups focused on three initial episodes: total joint replacement, asthma, and labor and delivery Plan to add new episodes every six months Our goal is to pay for outcomes and for quality care, rather than for the amount of services provided value-based care instead of volume-based. This is an issue being examined nationwide and Tennessee is recognized as a leader in this effort. The state is working collaboratively with hospitals, medical providers, and payers to work towards meaningful payment reform. By working together, we can make significant progress toward sustainable medical trends and improving care. The State Innovation Models Initiative provides funding for states to develop and test state-based models for multi-payer payment and health care delivery system transformation with the aim of improving health system performance for residents of participating states. SIM Testing SIM Pre-Testing SIM Design States with SIM Grants
3 To develop Tennessee s health care innovation plan, we have engaged with over 100 different groups in over 80 meetings Stakeholder group A State Innovation Model Public Roundtables B Provider Stakeholder Group C Payment Reform Payer Coalition D Employer Stakeholder Group E Payment Reform Technical Advisory Groups Stakeholders involved Open to the public in person or by conference call. Topics include payment reform and other health policy issues facing the state of Tennessee. Select providers meet regularly to advise on overall initiative implementation State healthcare purchasers (TennCare, Benefits Administration) and major insurers meet regularly to advise on overall initiative implementation Periodic engagement with employers and employer associations Select clinicians meet to advise on each episode of care Meeting rhythm As needed Monthly 2 per month As needed 4-5 per episode

6 Delivery System Reform: Overview Populationbased Basis of payment Maintaining patient s health over time, coordinating care by specialists, and avoiding episode events when appropriate. TN Payment Reform Approach Patient centered medical homes (PCMH) Examples Encouraging primary prevention for healthy consumers and care for chronically ill, e.g., Obesity support for otherwise healthy person Management of congestive heart failure Episodebased Achieving a specific patient objective including all associated upstream and downstream care and cost. Retrospective Episode Based Payment (REBP) Acute procedures (e.g., hip or knee replacement) Perinatal Acute outpatient care (e.g., asthma exacerbation) Some behavioral health Some cancers
7 How retrospective episodes work for patients and providers Patients and providers deliver care as they do today Patients seek care and select providers as they do today Providers submit claims as they do today Payers reimburse for all services as they do today Payers calculate incentive payments based on outcomes after a predefined period Quarterbacks are provided detailed information for each episode which includes actionable data
8 Delivery System Reform: Payment Risk-adjusted costs for one type of episode in a year for a single example provider Risk-adjusted average episode cost for the example provider Cost per episode Average Example provider s individual episode costs Example provider s average episode cost High cost Average cost per episode for each provider Low cost Annual performance across all providers This example provider would see no change. Individual providers, from highest to lowest average cost If average cost higher than acceptable, share excess costs above acceptable line If average cost between commendable and acceptable, no change Acceptable Commendable If average cost lower than commendable and quality benchmarks met, share cost savings below commendable line Gain sharing limit If average cost lower than gain sharing limit, share cost savings but only above gain sharing limit
9 Delivery System Reform: Quality Each provider report will include provider performance on key quality metrics specific to that episode Some quality metrics will be linked to gain sharing, while others will be reported for information only Asthma Exacerbation Follow-up visit rate (linked to gain sharing) Percent of patients on an appropriate medication (linked to gain sharing) Repeat asthma exacerbation rate Inpatient admission rate Percent of episodes with chest x-ray Rate of patient self-management education Percent of episodes with smoking cessation counseling offered Total Joint Replacement (Hip & Knee) 30 day readmission rate (linked to gain sharing) Frequency of post-op DVT/PE (30 days postsurgery) Frequency of post-op wound infection (90 days post-surgery) Frequency of dislocations or fractures (90 days post-surgery) Average length of stay Perinatal HIV screening rate (linked to gain sharing) Group B streptococcus screening rate (linked to gain sharing) Overall C-section rate (linked to gain sharing) Gestational diabetes screening rate Asymptomatic bacteriuria screening rate Hepatitis B screening rate T-day vaccination rate

13 Evolution of Population-Based Reform Most medical costs occur outside of the office of a primary care physician (PCP), but PCPs can guide many decisions that impact those broader costs, improving cost efficiency and care quality. The vision for Tennessee s Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH) program is a team-based care delivery model led by a primary care provider that comprehensively manages a patient s health needs. Specialists Patients & families PCP Ancillaries (e.g., outpatient imaging, labs) Providers are responsible for managing health across their patient panel Coordinated and integrated care across multidisciplinary provider teams Focus on prevention and management of chronic disease Expanded access Referrals to high-value providers (e.g., specialists) Improved wellness and preventative care Use of evidence-informed care Community supports Hospitals, ERs
