Integrated Health Partnerships (IHP) Quality Measurement 2014
Principles Overview Potential Shareable Savings Based on Quality Measurement Measure Categories and Weighting Data Measures Scoring Example Calculations Principles for Additional Measures
Principles Quality measurement serves more of a monitoring function relative to reductions in Total Cost of Care (TCOC); not to solely incentivize improvement from year to year Quality based on primary care and patient/family centered care No new reporting requirements Quality must be high for this program to be effective and sustaining Quality includes health care processes, health care outcomes, and patient experience Collaborative effort designed to engage providers in the quality effort Whenever possible measures should be able to compare IHP sites Measure differences should be clinically relevant as well as statistically valid
Potential Shareable Savings Based on Quality Measurement Year 1: 25% of shared savings based on pay for reporting Year 2: 25% of shared savings based on quality performance Year 3: 50% of shared savings based on quality performance
Measure Categories and Weighting 2 Measure Categories 8 clinical quality measures o 5 clinic measures o 2 hospital measures 2 patient experience measures 32 individual measure components, scored as 9 measures Weights Clinical measures category = 75% of total scoring Patient experience category = 25% of total scoring Integrated model hospital measures account for 40% of each category Virtual model hospital measures account for 20% of each category
Measures Clinic Measures 1. Optimal diabetes care composite (5 components) 2. Optimal vascular care composite (4 components) 3. Depression remission at six months 4. Optimal asthma care composite adults (3 components) 5. Optimal asthma care composite children and adolescents (3 components) 6. Patient experience : CG-CAHPS 12 month survey tool Hospital Measures 1. Heart failure measure 2. Pneumonia measure 3. Patient experience: HCAHPS tool (10 survey modules) Utilize most current measure specifications in the Statewide Quality Reporting and Measurement System

Quality Measure Data Statewide Quality Reporting and Measurement System, administered by MDH (Minnesota Rules, Chapter 4654) Clinic Measures Clinical measure Clinic summary-level data submitted to MDH via MN Community Measurement (MNCM) Results used for IHP will be Medicaid-only data Patient experience (CG-CAHPS) Clinic summary-level data submitted to MDH via MNCM using a CMSapproved vendor Survey results used for IHP will be based on total population surveyed Hospital Measures Hospital summary-level Hospital Compare data submitted to MDH via MNCM and subcontractors (MHA and Stratis Health) Clinical and patient experience results used for IHP will be based on total population

Scoring and Calculation Max of 2 points per measure can be earned Composite measure components will not be scored separately, but results of these individual components will be reported back to IHPs in addition to their overall composite score Patient experience module results will be aggregated to determine the overall patient experience result IHPs consisting of multiple clinics/hospitals numerators and denominators for each clinic/hospital will be summed and points will be awarded based on overall score Total points in each category are summed up and divided by the total points available for that category to produce an overall category score of the percentage of points earned versus points available Total points available is determined by the number of measures for which an IHP meets minimum N
Awarding Points for Performance For Performance Periods 2 and 3, the IHP rate for each measure will be assessed for both achievement and improvement Sliding scale measure scoring The score for each measure will be the greater of the achievement or improvement score
Performance: Achievement < Minimum attainment threshold = 0 points Defined as the previous measurement period s 30 th percentile Upper threshold = 2 points Defined as the previous measurement period s 80 th percentile Minimum attainment threshold and < Upper threshold = even distribution between 1 point and 2 points Percentile < 30 30 < 40 40 < 50 50 < 60 60 < 70 70 < 80 80 Points 0.0 1.0 1.2 1.4 1.6 1.8 2.0
Performance: Improvement < 5% Relative improvement = 0 points 10% Relative improvement = 2 points 5% and < 10% = even distribution between 1 point and 2 points Percent (%) Relative Improvement Points Example < 5% 0.0 Performance Period 1 (Baseline) rate = 25% 5% - < 6% 1.0 6% - < 7% 1.2 7% - < 8% 1.4 8% - < 9% 1.6 9% - < 10% 1.8 10% 2.0 Performance Period 2 rate achieved = 28% Absolute improvement = 3% (28% - 25% = 3%) Relative improvement = 12% (3% / 25% = 12%) Improvement points earned for measure = 2
