  6. Pilot Organizational Chart

  7. Key Goals/ Measures • Progress Towards Full Implementation of Ten Core Expectations • Overall Improvement • 5 Must pass elements (leadership, team based approach & access) • Moderate Progress to Fully Implemented in the 10 categories (20 elements total) • Meet Participation Requirements • NCQA • Meet > 80% requirements • Improve Experience/Satisfaction • Patients & Families • Workforce • Improve Clinical Quality • Diabetes • Cardiovascular • Depression • Tobacco • Prevention • Reduce Waste • Emergency Department Visits • Avoidable Tests • Hospitalizations • Generic Pharmacy

  8. Maine PCMH Pilot “Core Expectations” for Practices • Demonstrated physician leadership for improvement • Team-based approach • Population risk-stratification and management • Practice-integrated care management • Same-day access • Behavioral-physical health integration • Inclusion of patients & families • Connection to community / local HMP • Commitment to waste reduction • Integration of health IT Core Expectation Definitions available at www.mainequalitycounts.org

  9. Core Expectation Summary • Pilot average improved in 100% of the core expectations from base line assessment through December 2010 • Most improvement in following areas (on average): • Integrated Care Management (all 3 elements) • Connecting with community partners (HMPs) • Engaging Patients in ongoing work of practice • Biggest opportunity for continued improvement (on average) : • Engaging Patients and Family Members • Connecting with community partners (HMPs) • Waste Reduction • Population Risk Stratification • Care Management (specifically element 5c: Care management staff have defined methods for tracking outcomes for patients receiving care management services)

  10. Core Expectation Summary • Minimum Requirements • 5 achieved 100% • 13 achieved 80%-<100% • 8 achieved < 80% • Must Pass Elements • 5 Practices did not meet 1 or more “must pass” elements

  11. NCQA PPC-PCMH Recognition • 100% of practice achieved National Committee on Quality Assurance (NCQA) recognition for Physician Practice Connection-Patient Centered Medical Home (PPC-PCMH) • 13 Practices (Level 1) • 5 Practices (Level 2) • 8 Practices (Level 3)

  14. Baseline Patient Experience Survey –Some Results

  15. Workforce-Culture Surveys • Administered in late Summer, 2010 • 18 of 26 practices received >75% response rate to culture surveys • Results to practices October-December, 2010 • Surveyed practices on six general dimensions: • adaptive reserve • community knowledge • health information technology • patient safety culture • Teamwork • staff burnout • Using Survey results to identify and feature high performing practices in various forums moving forward

  16. Adaptive Reserve

  17. Clinical Quality Improvement

  18. Reduce Waste and Avoidable Utilization (Adult)

  19. Year 2 • Focused work on reducing unnecessary & avoidable waste and utilization • Regional meetings in addition to learning sessions • Continued data collection, reporting and analysis • Continued transformation support to Pilot practices

  20. And.. • Preparing for CMS Multi-Payer Advanced Primary Care Demonstration—targeted start date July, 2011

  21. Medicare Med Home Demo • CMS “Multi-Payer Advanced Primary Care” (MAPCP) demonstration • States with multi-payer pilots invited to apply – must meet eligibility criteria • Majority of payers must participate • Pilot must be consistent with natl PCMH defn’s • Must connect with community resources & supports • Maine 1 of 8 states selected by CMS – Medicare to participate as payer in state PCMH pilots

  22. Medicare Med Home Demo • CMS offers up to $10 pmpm in new Medicare payments - Maine proposed: • $7 pmpm to providers, • $3 pmpm for community-based care management • Must describe expectations for budget-neutrality (i.e. must project $10 pmpm savings) • Maine proposal – through PCMH model, achieve… • 6-7% decreases in inpatient admissions • 5% decrease in ED visits • 5% decrease in specialty consultations • 5% decrease in imaging use

  23. MAPCP FAQs • Q: Are there plans to  expand the number of PCMH Pilot sites as part of the MAPCP Demo? • A: Proposed to expand the number of sites in the Maine PCMH Pilot by 20 practices (22 to 42) in Year 2 of the demo –July, 2012. However, this is subject to the other payers agreeing to continue to pay. • Q: What is the intersection between the ME PCMH Pilot/MAPCP demo & the upcoming CMS ACO program ? • A: Important to note that the CMS ACO  program is a “program” and not a “demonstration” – an important distinction. This issue came up during our application for the MAPCP demo, and CMS was quite clear that they understood this could be an issue for many states & provider groups.  Given that, we had several communications from CMS that essentially said they would not consider participation in the MAPCP demo to exclude provider groups from future participation in the CMS ACO program, but would also not want to pay providers twice for the same services. 

  24. Top Achievements for 2010—Our Perspective • All practices made some progress on Core Expectations, many made substantial progress on many of them, and most Pilot practices appear to have strengthened their improvement teams • Pilot practices are learning from each other (e.g., site visit and communications between teams) • Pilot’s commitment to deliver data feedback to practices in all areas of the evaluation (i.e., pt experience, clinical quality, cost/resource use) • Selection for participation in CMS MAPCP demo!

  25. In Their Own Words… • Stories from the field..

  26. “What I am most proud of from our first year in the Medical Home Pilot is forming a patient advisory council- patients will be part of our decision making; teaching staff what a team means; changing access for patients; putting more money into social work and disease management- taking care of the whole person has help some very sick people feel supported.” • Katie Sendze,Practice Administrator Winthrop Family Medicine, MGMC

  27. We are very proud of the response we got from the community when NCQA sent out press releases announcing our national recognition and what we accomplished to get it. • Margaret Towle, Adm Dexter Family Practice • I am proud of the group process that we have started including participants from all areas of the practice and the changes we have agreed to work on together.  I am proud of the training that we have been involved with and our staff has gained a great deal from what they are learning. • Catherine Princell Blue Hill FM

  28. The biggest improvement that we have made as a result of the Pilot participation is that staff now think in a mind frame of “the process” that a patient has to go thru to get what they need- this is very patient centered, its not just about “our convenience” “our process”, this is a paradigm shift! • Katie Sendze, Practice Administrator; Winthrop Family Medicine, MGMC • The biggest improvement is our EMR and how we have had to prepare everyone to use it.  The change of process and attention that everyone is giving to our patient charting has really been a quality improvement initiative and our patients are already noticing a rise in the standard of care. • Catherine Princell Blue Hill FM

  29. The “blue folder” project is our biggest improvement. This is a folder for our at risk patients and they take it with them to all doctor’s visits, the pharmacy, specialist, hospital, etc. There is a complete list of medications, allergies, surgeries, specialist contact info, OTC meds, emergency contact info and standing orders such as DNR and living will. Families of these patients have responded overwhelmingly with how this has helped them and save time and medication errors. One patient called an ambulance because she thought she was having a stroke. When they got there, they saw the blue folder on the table and was able to determine exactly what meds she was on, what her allergies were and contact information even though she could not communicate. • Margaret Towle, Practice Admin Dexter Family Practice

  30. Advice to Other Practices • Start now with the staff. Buy in to this project by everyone is vital. Get the picture of a patient centered home in their head and what that means and begin the process of how their office can be transformed. Margaret Towle Dexter FP I would advise any practice interested in starting the process to communicate fully with all of the players that will need to be on board to participate and look at their current process very carefully and allow a great deal of time for training. Catherine Princell Blue Hill FM

  31. ME PCMH Pilot “In the News” • “Get your doctor’s attention in the exam room” Bangor Daily News Written by Dr. Robert Allen from Penobscot Community Health Center, one of the PCMH Pilot sites, this is an article with practical tips on interacting with the patient in the exam room while, at the same time navigating through the patients’ information in the electronic medical record.
