Demographic Trends
• 1/3 US population – Baby Boomers• 10,000 people a day reach 65• 1 in 10 Baby Boomers is managing multiple
chronic illnesses; by 2030:• 1 in 4 have diabetes• 1 in 2 have arthritis• 1 in 2.5 will be obese
• Treatment of patients with co-morbities cost 7 x those without chronic illness
• 2/3 Medicare spending - 5 or more chronic conditions
1313
Challenges with Today’s Care
• Healthcare costs growing; burden to business
• Overuse; volume “treadmill”
• Inconsistent care; fragmentation
• Lack of coordination
• Payment model at odds with countering rising costs
• Data issues
1414
The Response Payment Reform
• To optimize the healthcare dollar and improve health
outcomes, both government and private payers are
(gradually) shifting from volume-based reimbursement to
value-based reimbursement• Fee For Service
• Shared Savings
• Global Risk
• P4P• Value Base Purchasing• Readmission Penalties• Bundled Payments• MSSP• ACO Arrangements
1515
Population Health 101
• In order to move from volume to value, and accept more risk, you must understand the patient population. • Define – Who am I responsible for? • Measure – standard metrics • Analyze – understand risk • Improve – what interventions • Control – Create accountability
1616
Key Considerations
• Able to manage risk
• Integration
• Engaged physician leadership
• Culture shift
• Effective HIT and data management
• Time to change – pace
1818
Our Strategic PathSince becoming a Clinic- 2006
• Developed a multi-specialty medical group• Physician leadership• Substantial quality, safety, and process improvements• Implemented EPIC enterprise-wide• Constructed Riverside campus• Opened a medical school in partnership with VT• Implemented medical homes in all primary care sites• Created MajestaCare, partnered with Aetna for
accountable care, MSSP (risk arrangements)• Built a culture of collaboration and team work
1919
Our Initial Areas of Focus
• Population Health• PCMH
• Care coordination for high-risk and high-frequency patients
• Wellness, prevention, Choosing Wisely• Transformation work
• Payment reform• Provider Engagement • Health IT / Data

What is PHM and It’s Purpose?• Definition: The coordination of care delivery across a population
to improve outcomes through disease management, care management, and demand management
• Goal: To improve outcomes and reduce utilization for patient populations with clinical and financial risk
• ‘Populations’ are identified through community need assessments, clinical risk registries

Area 1: Disease-Focused Ambulatory Case Management
Area 3: Ambulatory Quality / Pay for Performance (P4P)
Behavioral Health / Psycho-social
Sickest and/or highest-utilizing 5-10%
Rising-risk 40-50%
Low risk 45-55%
Advanced CHF, COPD, IHD, DM, asthma, cancer, psychosocial problems
Patients with less severe chronic illnesses or behaviors that significant elevate morbidity or mortality risks; HTN, DM, hyperlipidemia, tobacco use, obesity
Patients without medical problems; focus on prevention, wellness, and connectivity to health system

“Health IT is essential not only to accountable care organizations (ACO) but also healthcare in general”
Kathleen Sebelius, MPA,
Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services

Population Health Management
• Fundamental to every major healthcare reform initiative today• Patient-Centered Medical Home
• Accountable Care Organization
• EHRs alone are not sufficient to manage populations effectively
• Provider groups and health systems that automate the spectrum of population health functions will be best positioned to succeed
