Market Forces are Pushing Providers Towards Accepting RiskBut each organization is moving at their own pace as they: a) evaluate their ability managing more risk, and b) develop the necessary tools and skills needed

Fee for Service Full CapitationBundled Payments

Upside/Downside Contracts

Upside Only Contracts

As provider organizations move towards accepting incremental risk, many will increasingly

rely on clear insights from analytics to guide their operations

Low Risk High Risk

Leaders need insight on performance against ‘bonus’ metrics that exist in upside only contracts (e.g. quality measures, annual wellness visit completion)

Leaders need a clear picture of their patient panel’s risk and how their

organization is managing the overall costs of that population

Leaders need visibility into how costs are managed by episode of care, by risk stratification, and

by chronic condition

Leaders need to have a complete understanding of how to manage costs and practice patterns within their provider network, and begin to have analytics proactively suggest

areas for tighter focus/control

Example - Quality Dashboard #2 – Patient/Measure Level Detail

“Propensity to Act” algorithms allow users to create outreach programs tailored towards patients based on their likelihood to engage and take action

Patient lists should include all relevant information for outreach. Strong patient lists will include preferred contact methods and outreach history information.

Patient list should enable a user to see all gaps for a patient. One outreach should be done to address and discuss all gaps.

Risk AdjustmentIn the Value Based Care world – Risk Adjustment Analytics most strongly correlate with analytics on your organization’s top line revenue (leaving cost and quality bonus measurements aside)

Domain Categories

Demographics, Status, and Patient Panel Shifts – General demographic information and population shifts (separates signal from noise)

Predictive Analytics – Identification of potential HCC Conditions in the population needing validation, results in adds and deletes

Financial Forecasting – Estimation and projection of expected revenue based on population risk

Chart Review/Coding Quality/Productivity – Productivity and efficiency metrics for coding staff

Initiative Reporting – Reporting of operational initiatives for risk capture (e.g. Wellness visits)

Compliance – Turnaround time and chart reviews

Note: While there are many topics that a report consumer may want to know about that are not readily apparent in the domain categories, those topics can be addressed through further filtering the data

Patient Encounters – For the encounter year, how well is the health system able to hold wellness visits with their population

Page 14: Value Based Care Analytics - Florida Chapter of HFMA€¦ · Value Based Care Analytics An Overview of Measures, Metrics, and Enabling Technologies ... • Build out reporting data

Example - Risk Adjustment Dashboard #1 – Patient Encounters

A health system may have focused operational initiatives aimed at engaging patients for their Annual Wellness Visits and/or In-Home Assessments.

Dashboards should be used to measure the success and/or failure points of the engagement initiatives

An entry level Patient Encounter dashboard will track Annual Wellness visit completions

More advanced dashboards will rely on developing predictive analytics that will suggest areas where conditions are likely to be incomplete or inaccurate

Any “System Level” analytics should have the capability to drill down via filters or export raw details. Exports should be used to allow customers to take action on the missed or inaccurate conditions.

Advanced practices will find a way to incorporate these actions into the EMR, so the actions are present at the point of care.

Any predictive analytics should be balanced to look for missing, as well as potential coding errors. Analytics looking only for missing codes limit the opportunity to identify anomalies or trends in the data that may result in compliance risk.

An Effective Medical Cost Management Dashboard should answer:

- How are we doing managing costs?

- Where are the opportunities?

- What is the quantified opportunity?

- How can we take action?

Where the opportunities exist may involve exploring filters and views – but each view should make the answers to the other questions apparent

Identify high risk and rising risk patients to help avoid developing long-term health conditions that are costly and complex to treat

Use behavioral patterns to create meaningful care plans, predict a patient’s willingness to participate, and prioritize those patients who are likely to engage in healthy behaviors to reduce the risks of chronic diseases

Supplement traditional clinical trials and drug discovery techniques using analytics. Providers are able to choose therapies with high success of likelihood by matching patient genetic information with previous patients’ results.

Identify patients when risk factors occur during a hospital stay (infection development, extended length of stay), indicating a high likelihood of readmission within the 30-day window.

Identify patients likely to skip appointments without advance notice.

Providers can send additional reminders to at-risk patients, offer transportation or suggest rescheduling and offer open slots

to other patients with acute needs.

Robotic Process Automation & Cognitive Automation

Many healthcare organizations are starting to jointly apply robotic process automation and cognitive automation to a broad spectrum of processes, including Utilization Management (UM)

Deterministic Outcomes Probabilistic Outcomes

Realm of Robotic Process Automation (RPA) Realm of Cognitive Automation (C.A.)

“Mimics Human Actions”

Robotics Process Automation is the process of automating simple defined tasks (think ‘Macros’)

RPA Realm:• Rules-based tasks• Operational processes

“Augments Human Intelligence”

Cognitive Automation is the process of capturing a significant volume of decisions made on a set of criteria, and using that data to construct/train a model that can probabilistically predict the outcomes of future decisions on similar criteria

Cognitive Realm:• Cognitive analytics• Decision making

Robotics Process Automation and Cognitive Automation, in brief:

Emerging health system core operations use cases include:

Prior Authorizations: Augment prior-auth review using advanced analytics to further automate clinical decision making (vs. manual review) and triage cases to appropriate staff level

Appeals and Grievances: Triage appeals and grievance cases to appropriate staff level for review and/or decisioning

Predicting Health Conditions: Measure correlation between related datasets (e.g. Prescriptions and vitals) to confirmed health conditions (on the problem list)

Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and Natural Language Processing (NLP)

OCR and NLP are commonly used jointly to ‘digitize’ paper records (fax or EMR Notes) and parse them for key insights

Optical Character

Recognition

Natural Language Processing

Ocular Character Recognition (OCR) can be used to convert Faxes or PDFs into discrete data elements that can be used by machines

Natural Language Processing (NLP) logic is used to convert ‘free text’ into complex relationships based on key words found in the free text

Applications

Convert fax or paper mail sent in for a prior-authorization request into a digital format that can automatically be filed and stored with other meta data (sender, date of receipt)

Transform paper electronic medical charts into digital text that can be searched and reviewed using automated processes

Comb through text in prior-auth requests to pull out data elements for patient, provider, diagnoses, and requested procedure. Once the data elements have been accessed, rules can be created to triage the request. Combined with OCR, fax or mail requests can be automated.

Analytics FrameworkThe road to action from data begins with data collection and relies on the integration of analytics into management review and staff workflows

Data Collection Analytics Operations

Advocate for Raw Data

Request data from ecosystem partners to be used in analytics:

1) Claims data from your payers

2) Lab feeds from lab partners

3) ADT feeds from inpatient partners

4) Cost data

5) Referral network data

Create a Data Lake

Store data in its native, raw format so that it is unconstrained in future uses

Integrate and Harmonize

(Data Warehouse)

Build logic to ensure that data from the various sources ‘speaks the same language’ and can be used for reporting purposes

Measure Actions and Outcomes – Begin by measuring operational tasks (completions of actions) and outcomes – how your organization performed on measures that are important to the business

Define the responsible parties and review cadence of ‘Summary Level’ analytics which define direction. Determine how data can be meaningfully inserted at the point of care.

• Define the list of metrics that leadership will manage by and define the cadence for which they will be created and reviewed

• Across Medical Cost Management, Quality, and Risk Adjustment, define the top metrics that impact overall performance

• Benchmark like staff against population to identify outliers and investigate need for additional training or remediation

Enable Physicians, Nurses, and Care Team Staff to take action by placing the relevant data in their hands at prescient times for enhanced monitoring and clinical decision-making

Test and Validate Hypotheses for how to improve outcomes – Predictive algorithms can be used to model the hypotheses, machine learning can be used to measure effectiveness and suggest better hypotheses

Package and Deliver subsets of data to staff at the appropriate moments with the appropriate insights – Integration with scheduling and customer centric data sets can enable staff with the right data at the right time
