![Page 27: FLAACOs 2014 Conference - Transforming Provider Care in ACOs through Quality Improvement Programs](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060118/558a3111d8b42a39138b45ca/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Care Coordination: Scope of the Problem
• Avoidable readmissions and patient satisfaction with discharge-related care are recognized challenges nationwide. In Florida, more than 19 percent of Medicare fee-for-service (FFS) patients return to the hospital within 30 days of their hospital stay, costing Medicare approximately $1.2 billion.1
• This costly and quick return to the hospital indicates that there may have been a failure in the coordination of care as the patient transferred from the hospital to other care settings. Furthermore, people with Medicare coverage report greater dissatisfaction regarding discharge-related care than with any other aspect of care that Medicare measures.2

CMS Coordination of Care Goals
• Reduce readmission rates by 20% by 2019 • Increase medication safety through improved
quality of care coordination • Expand the length of time a beneficiary
remains in their home between hospitalizations and short-term institutional stays (community tenure)
• Increase the number of cross-setting communities to positively impact the majority of Medicare beneficiaries in the state

“Reforms Leading to Lower Hospital Readmission
rates”
“The all-cause 30-day hospital readmission rate among Medicare fee-for-service beneficiaries held constant from 2007 to 2011. In 2012, when the Affordable
Care Act’s reforms focused on reducing avoidable readmissions kicked in, this rate began to fall. After holding steady at 19 percent from 2007 to 2011, the all-
cause 30-day hospital readmission rate among Medicare fee-for-service beneficiaries fell to 18.5 percent in 2012 … We are pleased to report that the decline in
readmission rates is continuing into 2013.”

Coordination of Care: Aligning Readmission Goals
Aligning readmission goals across providers: • Patient Centered Medical Homes and Accountable
Care Organizations now report 30-day readmission rates to Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) for certification.
• Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS) will collect and report 30-day readmissions by physician.

Coordination of Care: Aligning Readmission Goals (cont’d)
• Home health agencies now report 30-day hospital readmissions.
• Nursing facilities will report 30-day hospital readmission rates.
• Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) surveys include Care Transitions measures.
• Readmission rates will become part of value-based measures for provider groups over the next 1 - 4 years.

Coordination of Care: Community Coalitions
Community Coalitions • Provide the community with great health care and
services through the collaboration of providers, community service organizations, payers, and others while fulfilling each organization’s mission;
• Build and strengthen communication and partnership with others in the community in an open, non-competitive forum;
34
![Page 35: FLAACOs 2014 Conference - Transforming Provider Care in ACOs through Quality Improvement Programs](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060118/558a3111d8b42a39138b45ca/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Coordination of Care: Community Coalitions (cont’d)
• Work together to develop strategies and processes to support patient’s as they move across the continuum;
• Measure the progress of efforts using data for the entire community; and
• Receive QIO support for technical assistance, resources, and data.
35
![Page 36: FLAACOs 2014 Conference - Transforming Provider Care in ACOs through Quality Improvement Programs](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060118/558a3111d8b42a39138b45ca/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Coordination of Care: HSAG Support
QIOs will support development of community coalitions that: • Define a shared, measureable, population goal for
improving care coordination in a defined geographic community;
• Support the implementation of community-level interventions that improve the coordination of care across provider settings;
• Increase medication safety in the community to prevent ADEs and reduce readmissions;
36
![Page 37: FLAACOs 2014 Conference - Transforming Provider Care in ACOs through Quality Improvement Programs](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060118/558a3111d8b42a39138b45ca/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Coordination of Care: HSAG Support (cont’d)
• Support community-specific root cause analyses identifying drivers of ineffective care transitions such as poor communication, poor patient activation, and other process deficiencies that can lead to poor outcomes, including ADEs that can lead to increased utilization of acute care services; and
• Assist the community coalition to collect data to monitor community-level interventions that demonstrate improved outcomes across various populations.

reporting for all quality measures – Maximum sharing rate (60 percent for the two-
sided model and 50 percent for the one-sided model) if the ACO generates sufficient savings and successfully reports the required quality measures
• After year 1: – Be assessed on performance – Perform well on selected quality measures
