  2. The Uninsured

  3. Hannum thought he had a stomach flu or food poisoning from bad chicken. On Monday, his brother saw him looking ashen and urged him to go to the hospital. "He had a little girl on the way," his older brother Curtis Hannum said. "He didn't want the added burden of an ER visit to hang on their finances. He thought 'I'll just wait,' and he got worse and worse." By the time Hannum got to the hospital and was admitted to surgery, it was too late. Paul Hannum, 45, died on Thursday, August 3, 2006, from a ruptured appendix. His daughter, Cameron was born two months later.

  12. ACOs:A Rerun of the HMO Experience?

  13. Why the ACO/HMO Concept Resonates Proliferation of redundant high tech facilities and useless, even harmful interventions Neglect of primary care, public health, prevention, mental health Lack of teamwork Widespread quality problems need system solutions Inadequate public accountability

  14. HMO and ACO:Similar Definition, Purpose, and History Diagnosis: FFS and “fragmentation” Rx: Invert FFS incentives, shift insurance risk to doctors; “protect” patients with report cards; consolidate providers into larger entities Same vague definition: network of providers “held accountable” for cost (via capitation) and quality (via report cards) Shared poster child: Kaiser Permanente Both initiated by politicians advised by key policy entrepreneurs (HMO: Paul Ellwood; ACO: Elliot Fisher)

  15. HMO-ACO Logic FFS is the problem; capitation(shifting insurance risk) the solution. But . . . small clinics and hospitals can’t bear risk, so consolidation is necessary. Shifting risk creates incentive to deny care, so report cardsare necessary.

  16. Predicting the Impact of ACOs • Track record of HMOs • Results of Medicare’s Physician Group Practice Demonstration, 2005-2010 • Evidence on tools ACOs likely to use: • prevention and disease management • “care coordination” • report cards and P4P schemes • electronic medical records
