  8. Bridging the Transition Between Payment Paradigms Mitigating Incentive Disconnect Between FFS, Value Based Payment 100% Total Cost Accountability Realizing Returns Today Preparing for Tomorrow Revenue Generated Through Incentive Model • Can increase FFS rates • Stabilizes physician economics • Improves performance on key quality and cost initiatives • Can increase market share • Creates infrastructure for care coordination, management • Builds physician comfort with performance focus Fee for Service 0% Time

  9. Forcing Tighter Ties Payment Reforms Place Greater Burden on Care Coordination Strategic Responses to New Payment Methodologies Pay-for-Performance Hospital-Physician Bundling Shared-Savings Model Episodic Bundling • Partner with PCPs • Invest in chronic disease management • Reduce utilization • Partner with post-acute providers • Standardize care site transitions Degree of Management Challenge • Standardize devices • Reduce orders and consults • Engage active medical staff • Standardize care processes • Track and analyze performance • Leverage physician incentives Actions needed under all payment reforms Provider Cost Accountability

  10. Creating a Value-Based Health Care Delivery System Michael Porter, Harvard University, 2013 Organize "Integrated Practice Units" or "IPUs" around patient conditions Organize primary and preventative care to serve distinct patient segments Measure outcomes & cost Offer bundled pricing arrangements Integrate delivery across separate facilities Expand geographic coverage by excellent providers Build and enable information technology The Strategic Agenda

  15. Moving Beyond “Us and Them” True Systemness Requires Demolition of Individual, Group Silos Clinically integrated. New Ambition for Hospital-Physician Relations Source: Health Care Advisory Board interviews and analysis. ” Traditional Goal: Strengthen individual practice ties to hospital center Collaborative Care Enterprise Words Matter Today’s Goal: Align priorities, strategies, and efforts of system leadership with those of broader physician network Traditional Goal: Strengthen ties within medical group/CI1 network “The language hospital leaders use to describe physician alignment—‘how do we get them to work with us’—reveals how deeply rooted this sense of separateness is.” Health System Executive

  16. The New Hospital-Physician Compact Collaborating to Deliver Value to Patients Patient Demands, System Responsibilities Source: Health Care Advisory Board interviews and analysis. Timely Access Top-Quality Care • Physicians build schedules around patient needs, connect to other providers to expand options • System invests in alternative access points and needed capacity • Physicians build and utilize evidence-based care standards • Clinical decisions prioritize quality • All providers accept, respond to transparent performance data Open Communication Cost-Effective Care • Physicians actively work to reduce cost, unnecessary utilization • System encourages use of low-cost care pathways • Physicians, care teams respond promptly to patient inquiries • Providers proactively engage patients in care management Unified Care Experience Principled Referrals • Referral decisions based on quality and cost, not habit • Physicians coordinate with peers to ensure safe and effective transitions • Care transitions appear seamless to patients • Information is a system asset, updated and utilized by all to streamline care experience

  17. Executing Strategy in the Accountable Care Era Securing Physician Alignment Care Transformation Reducing Costs, Advancing Quality Managing Total Population Risk • Evaluate, secure and stabilize primary care base • “Clinically Integrate” the network • Engage physicians in leadership, governance • Promote adoption of evidence-based care standards with aggressive quality targets • Start medical home transformation • Foster seamless data exchange across sites of care • Align clinical, operational and financial goals • Manage inappropriate utilization of high- risk patients • Reduce costs through quality improvement, care coordination • Leverage business intelligence systems to identify core competencies • Consider value-based contracts across payers • Tailor interventions for population health management Tactics for Evolving Primary Care to Support Accountable Care Strategy

Start by Segmenting Medical Staff by Role in ACO The Accountable Physician Enterprise Community-Based Medical Specialists Primary Care Hospital-Based Non Admitting Specialists Community Contractors Proceduralists Cardiology Medical Oncology Endocrinology OB/GYN Dermatology Ophthalmology Radiology Anesthesiology Pathology ED Physicians General Surgery Cardiac Surgery Neurosurgery Orthopedics Internal Medicine Pediatrics Family Medicine Hospitalist Effective Care Management Enterprise Minimal Relationship Efficient Procedural Enterprise “ACO Partners” “ACO Collaborators” “ACO Principals”

  19. More Than Just Great Clinicians Ideal Partners Willing to Demonstrate Cultural Compatibility Information-Powered Value-Conscious Open to Transparency System-Oriented Instinctively pursues system goals Prioritizes system needs over individual ambitions Trusts that decisions made with interest of patients, not politics, in mind Understands benefit of full data transparency Accepts results as validated, unbiased, accurate Views release of performance data as opportunity to improve Supplements personal experience with communal knowledge resources Actively contributes to expanding body of knowledge on care standards, patient records Source: Health Care Advisory Board interviews and analysis. Acknowledges continuous cost pressures within system Actively works to improve patient care in cost-effective manner Four Attributes of the Ideal Physician Partner

  20. Address Physician Concerns About Team-Based Care Key Responses to Common Physician Pushback Source: Innovations Center interviews and analysis. Fear of “Losing” Patients Medical Home is a physician-led team of providers Key relationship built around maximizing patient-physician interaction Physician actively engaged in overall patient care Protecting “Physician-Required” Tasks Best practices are standardized, maximizing physician time “Triggers” to engage physician can be built into care processes Physician-required tasks are not offloaded to team Imposition on Physician Time, Productivity Role and goals of physician defines how team is used Team extends time available to patient, without requiring additional physician time Cost of Creating the Care Team More efficient visits improve financial performance of practice More cost-effective to minimize physician time spent on non-physician tasks Allows team members to operate at the top of their licenses

  21. Finding the Right Physician Leaders Least Engaged Most Engaged ” Willingly Cooperative Passionately Leading Disruptively Opposed Grudgingly Obedient Distractingly Over-Enthused Great majority of physicians willing to support system strategy but need strong physician leadership Best suited to spearhead change, disseminate system vision Putting Our Best Foot Forward “Even today, we still have people within our system who viscerally oppose our ongoing shift to clinical process management and improvement. Change is hard. However, we have enough people who “get it”—and are deeply convinced of and committed to it—that we can move vigorously ahead.” Dr. Brent JamesChief Quality Officer, Intermountain Healthcare Source: Intermountain Healthcare, “How to Run Your Own Clinical Quality Improvement Training Program,” available at: http://intermountainhealthcare.org/, accessed May 14, 2012; Health Care Advisory Board interviews and analysis.

  22. Building an Effective Ambassador Corps Attributes of Effective Physician Ambassadors • Respected clinicians • Ethic of trust and stewardship • Effective communicators • Skilled at resolving conflict • Natural problem-solvers Ambassador Corps How Much is “Critical Mass”? Rule of thumb from change management research: The number of leaders necessary to spearhead organizational change is equal to the square root of n, where n is the total number of individuals in an organization Rank-and-File Physicians Small Groups of Leaders Make Large Impact Source: Intermountain Healthcare, “How to Run Your Own Clinical Quality Improvement Training Program,” available at: http://intermountainhealthcare.org/, accessed May 14, 2012; Health Care Advisory Board interviews and analysis.

  23. Funneling Patients Through A Siloed Enterprise • Primary care practices serve as feeders to specialty service lines • Each practice as individual point of care, not comprehensive network Primary Care • Specialty service lines serve as core business under FFS1 model • Care, services streamlined within each specialty but not across service lines Specialty Service Lines • Ambulatory space serves as driver of volumes to inpatient setting, treatment • Hospital as nexus of clinical enterprise rather than node on care continuum Acute Care Hospital Individual Components Strong But Disconnected Traditional Clinical Enterprise Source: Health Care Advisory Board interviews and analysis. Fee-for-Service.
