Back in 2012, we created a segmentation to understand how US doctors are dealing with all this consolidation and integration. Are they drinking the kool-aid? Or sitting it out?
Segmentation inputs include: • Use of EHRs • Knowledge about meaningful use criteria • % of medication DAW vs generic allowable • P12M experience on salary, management by health plan,
or use of evidence based guidelines
• Willingness to work in solo practice • Perceptions on physician responsibility for patient
treatment compliance

STRATEGIC HEALTH PERSPECTIVES℠
CAREGIVERS IN THE NEW AGE
• Increasing complexity of clinical medicine
• Increasing administrative complexity
• Demanding patients
• Increasing workload as coverage expands and complexity increases
• The burden of the Electronic Health Records and the rise of scribes
• But…compared to what?
• Leading the transformation of care delivery
• Overcoming Improvement Fatigue
MASSIVE MEDICAID
MASSIVE MEDICAID
• US Medicaid Population edges out France for top 20 spot in total population with 70,515,716 enrollees
• US Medicaid spending edges out Argentina for top 25 economies at $540 billion
• US Medicaid is bigger than Wal-Mart by $50 + billion
MASSIVE MEDICAID
• Churning in Medicaid eligibles and exchange population
• Who will take these enrollees and what will be the financial impact on providers that do take them?
• Medicaid covers kids, mums, expansion populations, supports the dual eligible and is the default LTC policy for the middle class
• Can we design financially sustainable delivery models for Medicaid?
• Medicaid is dominant for low income and children
• Medicaid population has significant churn of approximately 25%
• Exchange Population has 40% churn due mainly to changing life circumstances
• Get to 65 and you are “home free on Medicare” ….at least for now
• Republicans may move age of Medicare eligibility up
• Democrats may move age of eligibility (or buy in) down

• Major changes in health policy only occur when one party holds the Presidency and both Houses of Congress
