Presentation Overview: Part I • QI Program Overview • Background • Million Hearts Campaign • Disease Management • Components of a CCIP • Case Studies • Discussion • Brief break/Stretch
Presentation Overview: Part II • CCIP Reporting process • Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) • CY2011 and CY2012 submissions • Role of Central Office Quality Team • Role of Regional Office (RO) Account Managers (AM) and Clinicians • Review CCIP Reporting Tool • Case Studies • Questions and Wrap up
Quality Improvement (QI) Program • 42 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) § 422.152 • Applies to all MAOs, including SNPs • Seven components of the QI Program • Serves to integrate and coordinate all of the assessment tools and reporting requirements
QI Program -2- 1. Chronic care improvement program (CCIP) • Meet the requirements of 42CFR §422.152(c) • Addresses populations identified by CMS based on review of current quality performance 2. Quality improvement projects (QIPs) • Meet the requirements of 42CFR §422.152(d) • Expected to have a favorable effect on health outcomes and enrollee satisfaction • Address areas identified by CMS
QI Program -3- • Develop and maintain a health information system • Encourage providers to participate in CMS and Health & Human Services (HHS) QI initiatives • Contract with an approved Medicare CAHPS vendor to conduct the Medicare CAHPS satisfaction survey
QI Program -4- • Include a program review process for the formal evaluation of the QI Program that addresses at least the following areas on an annual basis: • Impact • Effectiveness • Take remedial action to correct problems identified using ongoing quality improvement
Background • Identified need to improve reporting tools for both the CCIPs and the QIPs • Follow the QI cycle of Plan, Do, Study, Act • More focused on interventions and outcomes • Participate in national health initiatives • CCIPs must be clinical • QIPs may be clinical or non-clinical
Background -2- • CMS is involved in several important Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Initiatives • Want to ensure that our beneficiaries enrolled in the Medicare Advantage (MA) program have the opportunity to benefit from these initiatives
Background -3- • The required topic for the CY 2012 CCIPs is reducing risks for cardiovascular disease • This topic is the focus of the national Million Hearts Campaign
Background -4- • The required topic for the CY 2012 QIPs is decreasing plan all cause readmissions • Current HEDIS® measure • One of the goals of the national CMS Partnership for Patient Initiative
Heart Disease and Strokes • Also referred to has cardiovascular disease (CVD) • Over 2 million heart attacks and strokes each year • Leading killers in the U.S. • Cause 1 of every 3 deaths ~ 800,000 deaths • Leading cause of preventable death in people < 65 Source: Million Hearts Campaign 2012
Heart Disease and Strokes -2- • Billions of dollars (~ $444 ) in health care costs and lost productivity • Treatment accounts for ~ $1 of every $6 spent • Greatest differences in racial disparities for life expectancy Source: Million Hearts Campaign 2012
CVD Leading Cause of Shorter Life Expectancy Among African Americans Source: Million Hearts Campaign 2012
Improving CVD Care • Aspirin • Blood pressure • Cholesterol • Smoking Source: Million Hearts Campaign 2012
Status of the ABCS Source: Million Hearts Campaign 2012
Million Hearts Outcomes • 10M more people with HBP controlled • 20M more people with high cholesterol controlled • 4M fewer people will smoke • 20% drop in average sodium intake • 50% drop in average trans fat intake Source: Million Hearts Campaign 2012
Key Components of Million Hearts Community Prevention • Reduce the number of people who need treatment Clinical Prevention • Optimize care for those people who do need treatment Source: Million Hearts Campaign 2012
Medical System Messages • Clinicians • Emphasize power of prevention • Create systems to get an “A” in the ABCS • Use decision supports and registries to drive performance • Deploy teams • Pharmacists • Monitor and influence refill patterns • Work in teams • Teach adherence Source: Million Hearts Campaign 2012
Medical System Messages -2- • Insurers • Measure and incentivize performance on the ABCS; collect and share data for quality improvement; empower consumers • Individuals • Know your numbers—and goals • Take aspirin, if advised • Get aggressive with BP and Cholesterol • Cut sodium and trans fats • If you smoke, quit Source: Million Hearts Campaign 2012
Community Messages -2- • Retailers and Employers • Offer blood pressure monitoring and educational resources • Focus on improving ABCS care in retail and worksite clinics • Advocacy groups • Monitor and demand progress toward goal • Promote actions that prevent heart attacks and strokes Source: Million Hearts Campaign 2012
Community Messages • Government • Support community and systems transformation to reduce tobacco use and improve nutrition • Provide data for action • Foundations • Support consumer and provider outreach and activation Source: Million Hearts Campaign 2012
Million Hearts: Getting to the Goal Source: Million Hearts Campaign 2012 1 Population-wide indicators 2 Clinical systems
What is Disease Management? • Supports physician/patient plan of care • Emphasis on prevention • Outcomes evaluated continuously
What Can Disease Management Do? • Improve safety and quality of care • Improve access to care • Improve patient self-management • Decrease costs • Provide health improvement based on plan on population
Disease State Selection • Determine incidence and prevalence • Identify data sources • What data do I have to use to track and monitor progress for the patients • Is the disease relevant to the patients • Are there gaps in the current program
Disease State Selection -2- • Is the disease clinically manageable • What is the current impact for the MA plan members • Will changing how the disease is managed have a positive impact
Disease Management: Six Required Elements • Population identification • Evidence based guidelines • Collaborative care • Patient self-management • Process and outcome measures • Routine reporting/feedback loop
Population Identification • Process of identification • Data sources • Target population
Evidence Based Guidelines • Set of actions based on clinical research • Effectively manage or improve outcomes • Ensures consistency in treatment
Collaborative Care Model • Structured interdisciplinary team • Patient centered CCIP • Designed to provide best possible outcomes
Patient Self-Management • Systematic provision of education and supportive interventions • Increase patient skills and confidence in managing their health
Process and Outcome Measures • Determines program stability • Reflects the impact on health status of the targeted population
Routine Reporting/Feedback Loop • Process of communication • Keeps all care team members and patient in the loop
Required CCIP Disease Selection • New for 2012 • Cardiovascular Disease focus • Must still be individualized to meet the needs of the MA plan’s population
Components of the CCIP • Disease state selection • Six disease management elements • Anticipated outcomes • Goal(s) • Interventions
Anticipated Outcomes • Determining what the program will achieve • Must positively improve health outcomes • Important factor in evaluation of the CCIP
Goals • Relevant to the program • Specific • Measureable • Positive effect on health outcomes • Attainable
Interventions • Relates to the both the disease state selected and the goals • Designed to reach the goal • Some questions to consider • Can this intervention improve health outcomes • Can the impact of the intervention be measured • Is the intervention sustainable
Case Study #1: Diabetes • Develop a Diabetes CCIP • Walk through the components of the CCIP • Provide specific examples for disease management elements and the CCIP components
