Healthcare Overview Quality, Cost, Access
The U.S. Health Care Industry • Insurance companies work with both employers and MCO’s to provide coverage; • The government provides a form of insurance for qualifying patients through Medicare/Medicaid Source: Institute for Industrial Engineers
U.S. Health Challenges: Quality Most American hospitals provide safe and effective care for the vast majority of patients, the vast majority of the time The vast majority of caregivers are well trained and conscientious Western medicine’s ability to save and extend life, and to improve the quality of life for the ill and injured is nothing short of miraculous
U.S. Health Challenges: Quality …but that does not change a harsh reality… …care is far too unsafe… …and quality is too inconsistent…
U.S. Health Challenges: Quality Schuster MA, McGlynn EA, Brook RH. How good is the quality of healthcare in the United States? MillbankQuarterly, 1998; 76(4):517-63 (Dec). Extensive literature review performed at RAND in 1998: • Only 50% of Americans receive recommended preventive care • Patients with acute illness: • 70% received recommended treatments • 30% received contraindicated treatments • Patients with chronic illness: • 60% received recommended treatments • 20% received contraindicated treatments
U.S. Health Challenges: Quality American health care "gets itright” 54.9% of the time. McGlynn EA, Asch SM, Adams J, et al. The quality of health care delivered to adults in the United States. N Engl J Med 2003; 348(26):2635-45 (June 26).
U.S. Health Challenges: Quality So why is this so hard? • Inadequate levels of safety and inconsistent quality result from clinical uncertainty which in turn results from: • An increasingly complex healthcare environment • Rapidly exploding medical knowledge • Lack of valid clinical knowledge (poor evidence) • Over reliance on subjective judgment
U.S. Health Challenges: Quality • Rapidly Exploding Medical Knowledge • In 2004, the U.S. National Library of Medicine added • almost 11,000 new articles per week • to its on-line archives • That represented about 40% of all articles published, • world-wide, in biomedical and clinical journals. • (1,500 – 3,500 completed references per day, 5 days a week) • To maintain current knowledge, a general internist would need to read: • 20 articles per day, 365 days of the year This is an impossible task…
U.S. Health Challenges: Quality • Medical errors and iatrogenic injury: • 98,000 deaths / year • 770,000 - 2 million patient injuries • $17 - $29 billion dollars • More US deaths/yr than for traffic accidents, breast cancer, & AIDS • Hospital-acquired infections: • 1.7 million NSI/year - $3,000/case • 8.7 million additional hospitals days/year • 98,987 deaths/year • $4.2 - $11 billion annually • Adverse drug reactions: • 770,000 to 2 million per year • $4.2 billion annually • 6-10% of hospital patients suffer 1 or more serious adverse events Institute of Medicine 2000 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
How Would You Measure Success? • Patient Safety • Patient Centeredness • Timeliness • Efficiency • Effectiveness • Equity Voice of the Customer!

Sound familiar? Healthcare System Today • Costs of Poor Quality • Estimated 35% of all healthcare costs = waste • Duplication, non-value add, redundancies • Medical errors, adverse events, preventable deaths, process defects Descriptive Statistics • Largest single industry in the world • Approximately 17% of the USA’s GDP • Expenses increasing at 4 - 10% annually • Major pressure to become more efficient and provide higher quality care • Shortage of skilled workers

Inefficiencies Drive Up Cost • Unnecessary & Overuse of Medical Services • Practice variation among providers • Defensive Medicine – Risk of liability suits • $70 – 126 billion annually • End of Life Care • Seen to have significant overuse • ¼ cost of Medicare services is for patients in last year of life • Fragmentation of care • Repeated medical histories and duplicative diagnostic tests • Services that yield savings are not used effectively • Preventive care • Care for chronic conditions, such as hypertension, high cholesterol, diabetes Source : IIE & Ronald M. Davis, MD, Addressing the Rising Cost of Health Care, AMA eVoice, Feb 2008,
More Contributions To Rising Costs • Intensity of Services • Longer life spans and increase in chronic disease • Increased need for on-going treatment, long-term care • Inflation in high cost / high technology products • Pharmaceuticals • Surgical supplies • Non-Clinical Spending- especially “transactional” costs • Duplicative services • Facilities & technology • Staffing
What Are The Solutions To The Rising Costs Of Healthcare? • Reduce the burden of preventable disease • Health care delivery must be more efficient • Must reduce nonclinical health system costs (administration, overhead, etc.) • Promote value-based decision making • Understanding cost, benefit, clinical outcomes • Selecting drug therapies, insurers, legislators Source: IIE & Ronald M. Davis, MD, Addressing the Rising Cost of Health Care, AMA eVoice, Feb 2008
What Does It All Mean For IE’s IE’s are in a unique position to greatly improve the healthcare system • Improving quality of care • Decreasing cost through increasing efficiency This creates a high demand for Process Optimization and Project Management
Types Of Hospitals • Community • Profit – Investor owned • Non-Profit – Supported by local funding • Teaching • Associated with a Medical College & provide clinical training to medical students and other health professionals • Public • Owned and operated by federal, state or city governments • Tertiary –Could be any one of the above • A major hospital that usually has a full complement of services including pediatrics, general medicine, various branches of surgery and psychiatry or • A specialty hospital dedicated to specific subspecialty care (pediatric centers, oncology centers, psychiatric hospitals). Patients will often be referred from smaller hospitals to a tertiary hospital for major operations, consultations with subspecialists and when sophisticated intensive care facilities are required

Typical Hospital Organizational Structure • Two Governance Structures • Board of Directors & CEO / Management • Medical Staff • Key Leadership Roles include • CEO – Chief Executive Officer • COO – Chief Operations Officer • CNO – Chief Nursing Officer • CFO – Chief Financial Officer • CIO – Chief Information Officer • CMO - Chief Medical Officer (VP of Medical Affairs)
Multi-Hospital System Structure • Organizational Structures • Traditional Functional • Matrix Organizations • System vs Facility Structure • System functions vary by organization • IE’s may be at system level or facility level (or both)
Integrated Health Care Systems “ a network of organizations that provides, or arranges to provide a coordinated continuum of services to a defined population and is willing to be held fiscally and clinically accountable for the health status of the population served.” Stephen Shortell, et al., 1993
Integrated Healthcare Delivery Network • Aligns health care facilities to deliver integrated healthcare services by improving quality and reducing costs to a defined geographic area • Hospital and physician components and at least one other component of care are required for a system to be considered highly integrated • In 2007, there were an estimated 450 health care systems that were vertically integrated • Ownership or formal agreements Source: IIE & KnowledgeSource , Integrated Healthcare Networks Market Overview , 2008
