  4. Community Need – “The Ecology of Health Care” 1000 People 800 Report Symptoms 327 Consider Seeking Care 217 Visit Physician (113 PCP) 65 Complementary/Alternative Medicine 21 Visit Hospital OPD 14 Home Health 13 Visit ED 8 Hospitalized <1 Academic Medical Center NEJM 2001: 344:2022 Hospitalist Presentation

  5. CCHS Medical Staff Resource Model Define CCHS service area, collect age/sex cohort pop. (2006 – 2011) Estimate disease burden baseline (2006 – 2011) by major organ system prevalence/incidence models. Using NCHS – NAMCS survey data establish encounter frequency rates and estimate likelihood the patient will seek care. • Organic Growth • OHA share • Prevalence • Disease trends • Weighted average Adjust gross encounter estimates to current market specific share, project 5 year growth rates. Establish current physician supply, estimate future (> 5 yrs) based on three tiers of retirements Hospitalist Presentation

  6. CCHS Medical Staff Resource Model Correlate current physician supply with observed encounter activity (acute – ambulatory care) Correlate core program/Dx trends with estimated physician supply 5 yr projections Quantify impact on core product lines and clinical specialties based on retirement tiers Quantify net revenue impact on core service lines by retirement tier. Establish comparison baseline using net revenue per unit of service for core product lines. Quantify net revenue/retirement tier physician by service line. ID resource needs by net rev baselines and retirement tiers: Near term: < 18 months Medium term: 18 – 36 months Long term: > 36 months Hospitalist Presentation

  7. CCHS – Eastern Market Population Cohorts Net change 2006 - 2011 n = - 39,277 n =+ 29,328 Source: CCHS – CCF Marketing/Planning Total East Market population change: - 15,000 Hospitalist Presentation

  8. Disease Prevalence Findings • Peer reviewed research based prevalence and incidence rates for core disease groups (case types) were applied to 2012 service area population age/sex cohorts. Major disease categories considered in the analysis included: • Behavioral health • Neurological conditions • Cardiovascular disease • Digestive disease • Endocrine and metabolic disease • Female GU • Pulmonary • Infectious disease (primarily STDs) • Cancers • Chronic conditions specific to several of the disease categories were considered separately due to their increasing impact on resource utilization and have been considered by many as epidemic in proportion. • Metabolic syndrome (obesity, hypertension, diabetes, lipid disease) • Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) • Depression as a secondary diagnosis Hospitalist Presentation
