  9. But What Do We Get? The 15 minute visit!

  10. The Result: The Current Medical Home

  11. Why? Follow the Money! • What we want: • Relationship, time with our providers • Caring, compassionate interactions • Coordination & integration of care • Ability to access care 24/7 • What we pay for: • Visits • Tests • Procedures • Procedures • Procedures

  12. The Stalemate That Blocks Change Employers & payers unwilling to pay for desired services unless providers demonstrate value AND show potential to save money Providers unable to transform practice without viable & sustainable payment for desired services BUT

  13. A Recipe for Change?

  14. Community Leadership for Change Maine Quality Counts DHA’s Maine Quality Forum Maine Health Management Coalition MaineCare 14

  15. The Medical Home & ACOs: Models for Change! Employers & payers pay for desired services if providers can demonstrate value AND reduce spending = Payment Reform Providers change practice, create value with viable & sustainable payment for desired services = Delivery System Change AND

  16. Defining Medical Home “A medical home is not a building, house, or hospital, but rather an approach to providing comprehensive primary care. A medical home is defined as primary care that is accessible, continuous, comprehensive, family centered, coordinated, compassionate, and culturally effective.” American Academy Pediatrics

  17. Maine PCMH Pilot Practices 17

  18. Maine PCMH Pilot “Core Expectations” for Practices • Demonstrated physician leadership for improvement • Team-based approach • Population risk-stratification and management • Practice-integrated care management • Same-day access to care • Behavioral-physical health integration • Inclusion of patients & families • Connection to community / local HMP • Commitment to reducing avoidable spending & waste • Integration of health IT

  19. Community Care Teams • Multi-disciplinary, community-based, practice-integrated care teams • Build on successful models (NC, VT, NJ) • Support patients & practices in Pilot sites, help most high-needs patients overcome barriers – esp. social needs - to care, improve outcomes • Key element of cost-reduction strategy, targeting high-needs, high-cost patients to reduce avoidable costs (ED use, admits) 19

  20. Maine PCMH Pilot Community Care Teams Schools Transportation Environment • Community Care Team Housing Outpatient Services Workplace Care Mgt Family Food Systems High-need Individual PCMH Practice Med Mgt Specialists • Community Resources Shopping Coaching Hospital Services Behav.

  22. So…What About ACOs? “Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) will constitute groups of providers - physicians, other clinicians, hospitals or other providers - that together provide care and share accountability for the cost and quality of care for a population of patients” T. Lake et al, “Lessons from the Field: Making Accountable Care Organizations Real “, NIHCR Research Brief, Jan 2011 22

  23. PCMH: Hub of Wider Delivery & Payment Reform Models (ACOs!) ACO

  24. ACOs in Maine – What’s Happening? • Employer-Provider ACO Pilots • Maine Health Management Coalition leadership • MaineGeneral-SEHC, EMMC, other pilots • Medicare – multiple ACO options • Pioneer ACO – EMHS • Shared Savings programs – MH, CMMC, MePCA • Medicaid: Value-Based Purchasing strategy • Seeking “Accountable Communities” proposals 24 24

  25. Engaging Consumers, Partnering with Patients • Untapped “force” for improving health care • Need to shift from provider-centered to patient-centered approaches (think banking!) • Need patients to better understand their role • To improve their health, and • To change health care system • Changing patient role requires changing culture of US health care 25

  26. Patient Engagement • What We Say: • We want patients to take active role in making decisions about their health • We want patients to ask questions • We want patients to express values & preferences • What We know: • Patients – even well educated, are reluctant to ask questions • Patients are fearful of challenging provider recommendations • Many patients feel physicians are authoritarian (vs. “authoritative”)

  27. “Better Health. Better ME!” Consumer Engagement Campaign • Take Charge of Your Health: • Step ONE: VISIT your Primary Care Provider • Step TWO: ASK Questions • Step THREE: KNOW your numbers • Step FOUR: FIND and use community resources and programs to support health 27

  28. Partnering for Improvement 28

  29. ABIM “Choosing Wisely” Campaign • Physician-led effort to identify opportunities to improve care and decrease use of wasteful services • Have created lists: “5 Things Physicians & Patients Should Question” • Appeals to professionalism • Promotes partnership with patients • Have engaged multiple specialty physician groups 29

  30. Patient Tools 30

  31. Consumer Reports “Best Buy Drugs” 31

  32. ‘Old-School’ Managed Care Focus on reducing costs Global capitation PCP at full financial risk PCP as gatekeeper Very limited information and tools vs. PCMH + ACOs Focus on demonstrating value New care management fees (plus performance payments?) Limited financial risk to PCP Primary care team coordinates care & supports patient needs across “med neighborhood” Improved information and tools (EMR, registries) Managed Care All Over Again? 32

  33. Change is Hard • Hard to repair the plane in flight • Hard to practice while practicing! • People fear change (loss) - any change

  34. QC 2013 – Save the Date! Aligning Maine’s Forces To Achieve the Triple Aim of Improvement • Wed, Apr 3, 2013 • Augusta Civic Center • Dr. Donald Berwick • Join us! 34
