Each provider may treat one aspect of a pa;ent’s care without regard to what other providers are doing. There is a focus on procedures and services rather than on the beneficiary’s total needs. This becomes a par;cular problem for beneficiaries with several chronic condi;ons and for those transi;oning between care providers, such as at hospital discharge. Poorly coordinated care may result in pa;ent confusion, over-‐treatment, duplica;ve service use, higher spending, and lower quality of care.” -‐ Medpac Report to the Congress: Reforming the Delivery System Source: Report to the Congress: Reforming the Delivery System, September 16, 2008, Statement of Mark Miller, Execu;ve Director, Medicare Payment Advisory Commission, to U.S. Senate Finance CommiSee, hSp://www.medpac.gov/documents/20080916_Sen%20Fin_tes;mony%20final.pdf; Clinical © 2011 The Advisory Board Company – 22421B Advisory Board interviews and analysis. 10 P4P Already a Reality Accountability Measures Transcend Hospital Walls Targe=ng Hospitals for System Performance Emerging Scope of Hospital Accountability Pre-‐Admit Care Hospital-‐Based Care Post-‐Acute Care CMS Measures Requiring Coordina*on R 30-‐day AMI1 R 30-‐day AMI readmission rate mortality rate R 30-‐day heart failure R 30-‐day heart failure readmission rate mortality rate R 30-‐day pneumonia R 30-‐day pneumonia readmission rate mortality rate Accountable En*ty Hospitals increasingly penalized for subpar care outcomes despite diffuse responsibility Source: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, “Hospital Compare,” available at: 1 Acute Myocardial Infarc;on. hSp://www.hospitalcompare.hhs.gov, accessed March 10, 2011; Clinical Advisory Board © 2011 The Advisory Board Company – 22421B interviews and analysis. 11 New Payment Models Extend Realm of Responsibility Reimbursement Increasingly Spanning Con=nuum of Care Con*nuum of Care Pre-‐Acute Inpa*ent Acute Post-‐Acute Readmissions Penal;es Inpa;ent Bundling (ACE Demonstra;on) Episodic Bundles (Na;onal Pilot Program on Payment Bundling) Shared Savings (Medicare Shared Savings Program) © 2011 The Advisory Board Company – 22421B Source: Clinical Advisory Board interviews and analysis. 12 Rethinking Our Rela;onships Across the Con;nuum Hospitals Must Partner with Previously Siloed Stakeholders Con*nuum of Care Pre-‐Acute Inpa*ent Acute Post-‐Acute Stakeholders involved: PCP Pa*ent Specialists Hospitalists Nurses Home Health SNF Medical Home Case Manager Pa*ent Allied Health PCP Pa*ent Specialists Care q Adequate q Length of stay management q Partner with post-‐acute coordina*on preventa;ve care q Inpa;ent u;liza;on providers impera*ves: q Disease preven;on management q Standardize care site q Reduce readmissions transi;ons q Reduce readmissions © 2011 The Advisory Board Company – 22421B Source: Clinical Advisory Board interviews and analysis. 13 One Thing We Can All Agree On Readmissions the Star;ng Point Carrots and S=cks to Improve Transi=ons HR 3590 Sec*on 3025 Sec*on 399KK Sec*on 3026 Readmissions Quality Improvement Community-‐Based Care Reduc*on Program Program Transi*ons Program • Star;ng in October 2012, • Establishment of a quality • Beginning in 2011, program will hospitals will face penal;es for improvement program for receive mandatory 30-‐day all-‐cause readmissions hospitals with high readmission appropria;ons of $500 million for three condi;ons (AMI, HF, rates within two years of bill over 5 years pneumonia) passage • Funding for en;;es that provide • Possible expansion to COPD1, • Hospitals will work with pa;ent care transi;on services for high CABG2, PTCA3, other vascular safety organiza;ons to reduce risk Medicare beneficiaries condi;ons readmissions 1 Chronic Obstruc;ve Pulmonary Disease. 2 Coronary Artery Bypass Gras. 3 Percutanueous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty.
