Private Payer Sponsored:Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Dakota•Hospital admissions decreased by 6% and emergency department visits decreased by 24% in the PCMH group from 2003 to 2005, while increasing by 45% and 3%, respectively, in the control group.

A Forum for Statewide PCMH EffortsA Forum for Statewide PCMH Efforts
Patients First in the First State was created as a partnership between Blue Cross Blue Shield of Delaware (BCBSD) and Medical Society of Delaware (MSD).
Objectives:
•Design and launch an operational statewide PCMH program.
•Provide a policy and program design framework for analysis and adoption of standardized criteria.
•Provide an information-sharing infrastructure for multiple stakeholders for best practices.

NCQA AccreditationParticipants must earn a minimum of Level 1 NCQA PCMH Recognition by the end of the 3 years
MSD Practice Support ProgramMSD Practice Support ProgramPractice TransformationEnhanced in-office support and “Learning Collaborative” education for up to 15 participating sites. A “Practice Coach” will provide support with:
– Use of data to guide the delivery of clinical care, – Training on the NCQA PCMH requirements, – Practice re-engineering.
MSD is partnering withA nationally recognized company in Colorado to plan and administer the practice support program.
Clinical Care Coordination
Leveraging ExpertiseLeveraging Expertise
The Wall Street Journal, The Denver Post, and The Northern Colorado Business Report all recently spotlighted patient-centered care, compensation to primary care physicians and HealthTeamWorks.
In the Colorado PCMH initiative with Anthem BCBS, PCMH practices being coached by HealthTeamsWorks;•Reduced hospital admissions by 18% •Reduced ED use by 15% •Reduced total cost of care by 14.5% (compared to non-PCMH practices•Experienced Return on Investment ranging from 250 to 450%
VisionVisionMulti-Payer PCMH Environment Remains Optimal
• Not practical to treat patients within the same practice differently
based upon their insurance carriers
• A PCMH program including attribution, metrics, practices support,
and payment structure has been created
• An infrastructure for sharing lessons learned/best practices for the
State and other payers has been created
VisionVisionOpportunity for Multiple Stakeholders to Participate
With formal launch of program in May 2012, additional
opportunities for participation will include:
•Committees
•Information Sharing Conference Calls
•Educational Sessions & Expert Speakers (w/ CME)
•“Consortium” meetings
