How will your hospital harm a patient today? 2
Healthcare Quality There are serious problems in quality Between the health hcare we have and the care we could have lies not just a gap but a chasm. The problems come from poor systems not bad people In its current form, habits, and environment, American health care is incapable of providing the public with the quality health care it expectsand deserves. We can fix it but it will require changes The degree to which health services for individuals and populations p increase the likelihood of desired health outcomes... 3
IOM Crossing the Quality Chasm Six Aims Safety Effectiveness Patient centeredness Timeliness Efficiency Equity 4
Federal Reform 5
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) was signed into law March 23. It was amended by the Health Care & Education Affordability Reconciliation Act, which was signed into law March 30. Result: Provides coverage to 32 million uninsured people by 2019. Costs an estimated $940 billion over 10 years (2010 2019).
Hospitals Shared Responsibility $155 billion over 10 years mainly is achieved through: Reduce hospital updates Medicare/Medicaid DSH payment reductions Hospital readmissions i policy Hospital acquired conditions But hospitals will experience reduced uncompensated care and additional revenue/payment for the newly insured.
Reforming the Delivery System Creates new ways to tie payments to quality improvement. Accountable Care Organizations i Bundling Pilots CMS Center for Innovation Value Based Purchasing Geographic Variation Medical Homes Gain sharing Medical Liability Demonstrations Health information/data will play an integral role in Health information/data will play an integral role in each of these strategies.
Encouraging Quality and Safety The law encourages quality and safety by: Establishing a national quality improvement strategy. Creating a public private institute to analyze the comparative effectiveness of treatments. Creating a patient safety research center to promote best practices. Taking steps to pay for quality rather than volume.
Hospital acquired conditions 2012 Secretary reports to Congress on state of current hospitalacquired conditions program. Consider expansion to other facilities: LTCHs, IRFs, SNFs, ASCs and hospitaloutpatient outpatient departments. 2015 Hospitals in top (worst) quartile receive 1% less on Medicare reimbursement. Report on Hospital Compare website after hospitals review and correct information.
Hospital Readmissions Decreased Medicare payments begin 2013 for hospitals with higher than expected readmission rates. 30 day readmissions measured for: Heart attack Heart failure Pneumonia 2015 Secretary may expand list to COPD, cardiac and vascular surgical procedures, others
Patient Safety Research Center Center for Quality Improvement and Patient Safety w/i AHRQ Research to identify best practices for quality improvement and health care system redesign Improve patient safety, promote successful adoption of best practices, build capacity to lead quality and safety efforts Technical assistance grants to entities to assist providers in adopting best practices identified through Center research.

A Culture of Safety 25
Challenger Report The unrelenting pressure to meet the demands of an accelerating flight schedule might have been adequately handled by NASA if it had insisted upon the exactingly thorough procedures thatwere its hallmark during the Apollo program Between that period and 1986, however, the program became ineffective. This loss of effectiveness seriously degraded the checks and balances essential for maintaining flight safety. 26

MI STate Action on Avoidable Rehospitalizations Funded by the Commonwealth Fund under the Institute for Healthcare Improvement Co lead by MHA and MPRO First phase: 27 hospitals implementing hospital focused interventions and starting cross continuum meetings. Payers organized to produce data reports for phase one hospitals on readmission rates. June 7 MHA and MPRO hosted a policy summit in Dearborn on payment and rehospitalizations. The summit attendees included providers, payers, government and employers. Commonwealth Fund will produce a policy paper as a result of that summit. Planning for broader expansion of MI STA*AR in Spring 2011
