Background: What Factors Inspired us to Start D-RAP?

Issues on the Horizon that could have a Devastating Impact on the Urban Core
PQRI MRAP4P Healthcare Bubble
Chronic Disease Crisis
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), chronic diseases are responsible for seven out of every 10 deaths in the United States -- taking the lives of more than 1.7 million Americans every year. Chronic diseases are also the primary driver of health care costs, accounting for more than 75 percent of the more than $2 trillion dollars spent each year on health care in the United States.
The Perfect Storm…
Population - 127,512 (850,251)Gender - 53% female (48.7%)Adolescents ages 10-19 - 15.9% (14.2%)Adult ages 20-64 - 55.8% (61%)Senior adults 65 and older - 14.5% (10.7%)Race - 83% African American (29%)Median family income - $28,307 ($44,740)Children below poverty level - 38.4% (15.4%)Percent of population below poverty - 28% (11.9%)Unemployment - 9.9% (4.8%)Uninsured - 45% (9%)
Leading health disparities health zone of the 6 health zones in Jacksonville and Duval County, Florida, in cancer, strokes, diabetes, HIV/AIDS, teen pregnancy, STD’s and infant mortality.

“Healthcare Bubble?”
Who will be most affected?
Much like the housing bubble those individuals on the lower end of the economic spectrum are the most likely to be affected-Urban CoreWill access to care be affected?
Health insuranceMedicationsPhysicians
If there is a bubble the government is going to respond and what seems volitional (EMR, EHRs, performance based reimbursement) may become mandatory. Those institutions/physicians that are unable to adapt rapidly to the changing healthcare environment will be vulnerable.
“Healthcare Bubble?”
If a “healthcare bubble” does exist, it is perhaps better to be Ford than GM. It is Judi's mission to develop mechanisms that allow us to position urban core patients and physicians to bridge the void and prepare for a worse case bubble scenario.
Pay for Performance (P4P) Implications for the Urban Core
ProsImproved systems Virtual Community Disparity NetworkThe light will be focused on disparities
ConsMedical DarwinismMargins are tightBarely Funded Mandate
A New Model of Chronic Disease Care
New models: Chronic Care Model (CCM), Future of Family Medicine, Medical Home Model.Regardless of what you ultimately call this (CCM, FFM or MHM) a new model of chronic care must emerge.Regardless of what we do it will take 2-3 years for this system to mature and for us to began to see improvement.
Issues in our own houseProvider Disconnect:• Apprehension by PCP- to see patient more than once a month and
by Specialists - more than 2 times per year• Fear of presumed perception of churning by payer and patient• Hesitancy to treat if not at goal and will attribute diseases not to goal
to patient issues (non-compliance)• Provider hesitancy to adopt EMR, which is key to managing and
addressing medical disparities (Journal Watch - Aug 2008)
Patient Disconnect:• Lack of trust that disease is life threatening or is of eminent cause of
morbidity• Lack of funds• Presumed system (provider) is churning for financial gain

Disparity Program: D-RAPResults:
• Program began in June 2006 with study group of 300, average A1c - 11.0
• Eleven months into the program average A1c - 8.5 at which time all diabetics enrolled
• Seeing a fast growing population of UF non-Commonwealth providers and patients utilizing the disparity clinics
• Patients are assessed each visit through PQRI and outliers are followed up by the nurses in disease management

Future Initiative:Negotiation to expand the Free Script program with Winn-Dixie
Registry Impacting ER Utilization
• Data on the number of case of diabetes in the ER
• Query of the under and uninsured non-emergent ER encounters of the Shands ER population
• (700) Patients sent letter offering a Community Affairs Clinic as an alternative
• Number of Uninsured Patients Sent from Shands ER and patients discharged from hospital between 2005 - May 2008 to Eastside and Brentwood were a combined total of - 1,654

Results•Decreased ER utilization by the uninsured approximately 14,000 since the start of program
•Decreased bed days
•Decreased length of stay
•Improved A1c, blood pressure and lipid profiles•Decreased ER utilization for asthma/COPD
Goals•Secure more funding for Freescripts
•Secure funding for labs (CK,CR,Lipd,HgbA1cLFT)
•Secure funding to guarantee the security of present positions currently funded by the hospital
•Secure funding for Medical Director and specialty oversight currently done on a voluntary basis
•Establish clinic in North Jax to complete disparity coverage in Healthzone 1 and on Jax’s Southside to provide services for the African-American, Hispanic and at risk underserved white (other) populations outside of Healthzone 1
