Market Trends, PPACA and Health Reform
• PPACA is mostly about health insurance reform; it significantly impacts health care delivery reform
• For doctors and hospitals, the clearest aspects of PPACA spell out payment reduction schedules
• Health Reform’s government payment schedules are not keeping pace with inflation
• Providers must retain current commercial insurance base to ensure economic sustainability
• Kaiser

PPACA & Health Care Reform
• Most substantive piece of legislation to affect the health care industry since the passage of Medicare in 1965
• Goal: Increase the scope of insurance coverage and access to a greater number of Americans and reduce cost
M A Y 1 2 , 2 0 1 14
![Page 5: Aco structure presented by hankwitz 5.12.11 meeting](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062405/5553f4f5b4c90577468b48b6/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Question
• So, how does the government propose to increase access and at the same time reduce cost?
M A Y 1 2 , 2 0 1 15
![Page 6: Aco structure presented by hankwitz 5.12.11 meeting](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062405/5553f4f5b4c90577468b48b6/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Start with Value & Triple Aim
• VALUE = Quality/Cost … as compared to peers
• TRIPLE AIM = Improved Outcomes, Lower Costs & Higher Patient Satisfaction

& add Payment System Change
CURRENT FUTUREVolume Driven
- Admissions- Visits- Procedures- Interventions- Widgets- More volume equals ($) more revenue
Care Driven- Wellness & Prevention- Care Coordination- Clinical Integration- Care Management- IT Connectivity- Aligned Incentives leads to fair and equitable revenue

Payment Reform = New Ways to Deliver Care
• If PPACA covers more lives, and payment reform is in place, what mechanisms do we have to ensure quality care?
• PPACA contemplates an Accountable Care Organization
![Page 9: Aco structure presented by hankwitz 5.12.11 meeting](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062405/5553f4f5b4c90577468b48b6/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
ACO Defined
• An integrated health care delivery system that relies on a network of primary care physicians, one or more hospitals, and subspecialists to provide care to a defined population.

“ACOs have been compared to the unicorn:
Everyone seems to know what it looks like, but nobody’s actually seen one.”

Big ACO vs Small aco
• Big “A” Accountable Care Organization (ACO)– Medicare population– Draft Rules & Regs have not had positive reception
• Small “a” accountable care organization (aco)– PVHS Employee & other ERISA Health Plans
• Defined population• Self-funded• ERISA allows flexible plan design and reimbursement• Care coordination principles apply

Basic Characteristics of Clinical Integration
• Careful selection of participating physicians• Significant contributions of financial and “sweat” capital by
participating physicians• Development and adoption of clinical protocols• A performance-monitoring process• Care review based on the implementation of protocols• Mechanism to ensure adherence to the protocols• Use of common information technology to ensure an exchange of
all relevant patient data• Aligned financial incentives

Definition of Care Coordination
“Care coordination is the deliberate organization of patient care activities between two or more participants (including the patient) involved in a patient’s care to facilitate the appropriate delivery of health care services. Organizing care involves the marshalling of personnel and other resources needed to carry out all required patient care activities and is often managed by the exchange of information among participants responsible for different aspects of care.”

Information Technology
• Necessary to manage the services and costs of care for a population
• Provide the right information, at the right time, in the right form • Appropriate infrastructure to assure security, maintenance, and
use• Permit practitioners to make decisions based on current,
comprehensive information and patient history• Ability to pay providers; redistribution of funds or claims
processing

Key IT Functional Needs
• Access to comprehensive patient data, viewed across service providers
• Make established clinical guidelines available for all providers• Compliance reporting showing variations in care at the provider
and network level • Track physician performance against benchmarks and peers• Clinical decision support based on network determined guidelines
including point of care alerts • Secure mechanism for provider communication
– Facilitate PCP and specialty coordination– Support care transitions

Financial Management
• Need tools and data to support strong modeling • Must have complete physician data as well as hospital information• Typical payor data sets won’t be enough – incomplete and far too
old to help manage care and COST of care

Role & Functions to Consider• To be the physician driven vehicle through which UMA
can:– Provide clinically integrated services– Perform Utilization Management– Develop, approve and implement EBM practice
guidelines for all specialties (HealthTeam Works)– Monitor physician compliance to practice guidelines
and report compliance to participating providers (Verisk Health – Sightlines Medical Intelligence)
– Counsel non-compliant providers and discipline them if non-compliance continues
– Implement and assist Systems of Care supporting patient centered medical homes and medical neighborhoods (CO Medical Society initiative)

Role & Functions to Consider (continued)
• To be the physician driven vehicle through which UMA can:– Prove that value to those who are paying for healthcare
is critical to receiving fair reimbursement for services rendered in that receiving fair reimbursement is essential to achieving the professional satisfaction of NCIPA providers
– Ensure only high quality providers satisfying established criteria participate in the network (Credentialing)
– Promote clinical HIE interconnectivity in collaboration with CORHIO
– Establish compensation options such as P4P, bundled payments and shared savings arrangements (starting with PVHS as the Beta site)

Historically formed to enable joint
contracting aimed at achieving higher

ACOLegal entity owned

required) designed to achieve the Triple Aim of quality, cost
and satisfaction
Payment anticipated to be based on
Medicare fee for service with bonus for shared-savings

Getting Ready…
• Readiness Assessment– Convene a team – Inventory existing projects and initiatives that align
with strategic goals– Identify strengths and gaps
• Critically examine:– Structure– Governance– Financial alignment– Systems integration– Clinical integration

Getting Ready…
• Identify operational infrastructure opportunities that are readily transferable to a Medicare ACO – Mitigation of unnecessary 30 day readmits– Expedient provision of meaningful clinical information
to PCP upon patient admission or discharge– Identify ACE and Bundled Payment opportunities
• Facilitate medical management of the ERISA health plans– Identify and manage the most costly disease categories– Manage the most costly ETG’s– Manage to appropriate site of service

– High quality and appropriate utilization – Performance demonstrated through quality metrics– Care coordination and collaboration among hospitals,
physicians, other providers– Data collection and data sharing
• Implement – Just do it!
