- participant will understand/be able explore the rationale and supporting evidence for PCMH

- participant will understand/be able understand the impact on patients, providers and payers

Disclosure: – I am a full time Emplyee of IBM I WILL NOT discuss any pharmaceuticals, medical procedures, or devices I have gratefully had my expenses covered to do some of my talks about PCMH by Merck, and Pfizer.

Course Objectives

The Cause? Mostly due to unregulated fee-for-service payments and an over reliance on rescue/specialty care. This is stark evidence that the U.S. health care Industry has been failing us for years “Commonly cited causes for the nation's poor performance are not to blame - it is the failure of the deliver system!!”

- Unaccountable Care Organizations

The Elephant in the room

Slide From Dr Martin Sepulveda

Health care is a business issue, not a benefits issue

Slide From Dr Martin Sepulveda

OUR IBM Patient needs A long-term comprehensive relationship with a Personal Physician empowered

with the right tools and linked to their care team.

The Joint Principles: Patient Centered Medical Home Personal physician - each patient has an ongoing relationship with a personal

physician trained to provide first contact, and continuous and comprehensive care Physician directed medical practice – the personal physician leads a team of

individuals at the practice level who collectively take responsibility for the ongoing care of patients

Whole person orientation – the personal physician is responsible for providing for all the patient’s health care needs or arranging care with other qualified professionals

Care is coordinated and integrated across all elements of the complex healthcare community- coordination is enabled by registries, information technology, and health information exchanges

Quality and safety are hallmarks of the medical home-

Evidence-based medicine and clinical decision-support tools guide decision-making; Physicians in the practice accept accountability voluntary engagement in performance measurement and improvement

Enhanced access to care is available - systems such as open scheduling, expanded hours, and new communication paths between patients, their personal physician, and practice staff are used

Payment appropriately recognizes the added value provided to patients who have a patient-centered medical home- providers and employers work together to achieve payment reform

Smarter Healthcare

Every country starts at the base of the pyramid with Wellness Prevention primary care, and they work their way up until the money runs out.

… “We start at the top of the pyramid, and we work our way down until the money runs out…And so we have to change the pyramid. We have to start at the base.”

What’s wrong with this picture?

Don’t handle your care needs in a BAD MEDICAL NEIGHBORHOOD!!

Unaccountable care, lack of organization, DO NOT GO THERE ALONE !!

Be wise when you pay for care, KNOW WHAT YOU BUY!!

“ We don't have a health care delivery system in this country. We have an expensive plethora of uncoordinated, unlinked, micro systems, each performing in ways that too often create sub-optimal performance, both for the overall health care infrastructure and for individual patients." George Halvorson, from “Healthcare Reform Now

HEALTH INDUSTRY -- WSJ WellPoint's New Hire.What Is Watson?

IBM – WellPoint

And the PLAN is – CPCi by CMMI Care management: Primary care practices will be able to

proactively assess their patients to determine their needs and provide appropriate and timely preventive care.

Access and continuity: Primary care practices must be accessible to patients on a 24/7 basis and be able to utilize patient data tools to give real-time healthcare information to patients in need.

Planned care for chronic conditions and preventive care: Participating primary care practices will deliver intensive care management for the patients with high needs and create a plan of care that fits a patient’s individual circumstances and values.

Patient and caregiver engagement: Primary care practices will have the ability to actively engage patients and their families to participate in their care.

Defining the Care Centered on Patient

“We do kidney transplants and dialysis more often than anyone, but we need to, because patients are not given the kind of coordinated primary care that would prevent chronic complications of renal and heart disease from becoming acute.”

George Halvorson (CEO Kaiser) from “Healthcare Reform Now”

So simple!So much!

If you scan the world for value based healthcare, you will find a common element: a relationship-based team with a project manager! A comprehensivist that can command and control in an accountable system.

Payment reform requires more than one method, you have dials, adjust

them!!!fee for health”

THE PRIMARY CARE TEAM

Reinventing Medicaid findings are Outstanding Oklahoma's patient-centered medical home initiative

has reduced Medicaid costs $29 per patient per year from 2008 to 2010. Moreover, use of evidence-based primary care, including screening for breast and cervical cancer, increased.

The Colorado initiative expanded access to care. Before the initiative, only 20 percent of pediatricians in the state accepted Medicaid; as of 2010, 96 percent and did and at a lower cost to the state.

Vermont, inpatient care use and related per-person per-month costs decreased 21 percent and 22 percent, respectively, from July 2008 to October 2010. ER use and related per-person per-month costs decreased 31 percent and 36 percent, respectively. 

Patient Centered Medical Home in Washington in State Acute care spending there was 18 percent below the national average. Inpatient stays per beneficiary were 35 percent below the national average.

Citation -- M. Takach, "Reinventing Medicaid: State Innovations to Qualify and Pay for Patient-Centered Medical Homes Show Promising Results," Health Affairs, July 2011 30(7):1325–34.

The Bottom Line in Medicaid PCMH starting to show an impact in access to care, quality, and cost control .

Patients love to see meaningful information about themselves and it take IT tools to

If you give patients educational materials with their name on it and with their data analyzed in it, they will read it, pour over it and discuss it with you.

If you tear off a generic sheet and give it to them, it often goes in the waste basket. If you give patients an analysis of their health risk AND if you include a “what if” scenario, i.e., what will their health risk be if they make a change; you can prove to them,

“if you the healer make a change, it will make a difference to your patient.”

PCMH is non-political – the right POV for delivery transformation

“We never abandoned advocating newModels of care. We’ve long pushed folksto realize that Delivery reform is the key.”The patient-centered medical home iscore.

“We included the attached chapter on PCMH in our book. and have a new publication on ACOs coming out in January.”

Who was the Shooter’s Doctor?

Away from Episodes of Care - FFS

Population management !!

Accountability !!

If we truly want to understand costs and where they can be reduced without compromising outcomes, we need to aggregate costs around the patient. (need a place to do that – that is PCMH)

The way care is currently organized leads to redundant administrative costs, unnecessary and expensive delays in diagnosis and treatment, and unproductive time for physicians.

A system integrator a place where data is aggregated, understood and held accountable at the level of the individual patient -- THAT IS PCMH. In fact, cost reduction will often be associated with better outcomes.
