The Cost Conundrum and More
Where the Jobs are
      new us jobs in healthcare and all other industries




 He
Healthcare is a major US jobs program!!
Academic Health Center Challenges
 The current clinical and academic environments continue to become
  more complex and challenging to manage.

 PPACA challenges us to make a step change in the way we care for
  patients

 Mechanism/resources/incentives to develop leadership and
  management expertise are required to develop a clinically and
  academically successful department, school, business unit, AHC, etc.

 Market and regulatory pressures continue to threaten the cash flow of
  the healthcare system.

 Pressures on operating margins and cash flow creates tension between
  the academic and clinical enterprises.

 Research which is critical to advancing healthcare loses money
Academic Health Center Challenges

 Difficulties in effecting timely decision making and communication

 Cultural -- Need to eliminate barriers to new thinking and practice:
  “This is the way it has always been done.”

 Academic and clinical silos and the separateness of professional
  schools/training

 Old facilities that get in the way of progress, innovation, new practices

 Rebuild The Public Trust of HC Providers


 All of the relevant environmental issues must be identified and addressed.
Shortage of 91k Physicians in 9 yrs or maybe not?
Physician Issues on Horizon

    •   Changes to geographic adjusters in payment
    •   Quality reporting mandatory for physicians
    •   Public reporting (‘physician compare’)
    •   Sunshine Act
    •   Physician pay ‘value’ modifier
    •   Medicaid payment rates
    •   Hospitals are now major employers of physicians
    •   Primary care vs. specialty reimbursement
    •   No ‘fix’ for SGR
Opportunities

 Significant unmet needs
 Aging demographics
 Large underserved populations
 Evolving science leading to new medicines
  and predictive, personalized and precise
  solutions
 Innovation and value creation for patients
  and health care systems
Yet Science and Technology Drives us to a new era

                       High throughput science

Health is a state of complete physical mental and social well being
        and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity
The Health spectrum
HEALTH VIS-À-VIS DISEASE: MOVING THE TARGET




So much for the theory and the tools---existing or soon to come--- that
 will make Predictive Health possible. But what would it look like in
                     practice in the real world?

•   Evolution from patient focused to consumer focused
•   Health is becoming continuous rather than episodic
•   Consumers are now influencing the behavior of doctors and hospitals
•   Better health encourages sharing
The Future is now

»   Personalized – emphasis on collecting more health data to better customize care
»   Wherever – portable devices will help bring care to you
»   Whenever – health care will no longer be confined to the doctor’s office
»   Participatory – consumers will be actively involved in managing their health
»   Crowd sourced - real-time access to aggregated health data

How I See It
» Integration of the AHSC is more important than ever given the trends
  that are seen in the PPACA bill. Today we see more and more
  physicians coming together into large multi-specialty groups and an
  increasing numbers of hospital mergers. Further we are seeing
  physicians seeking employment by hospitals as an increasing trend
  well demonstrated by the migration of cardiologists from independent
  group practice to hospital based practice.

» If AHSCs are to be successful moving ahead as leaders in clinical care
  they must bring the missions of research and education into this new
  environment and learn to adapt to the changes ahead. Bringing
  translational research and the science of health care delivery into the
  next decade will call for careful attention to organizational structure as
  well as physical structure. The central core medical center with
  distributed satellites of multi-disciplinary clinics and ambulatory
  services (e.g. imaging and sophisticated laboratory testing) will bring
  the AHSC clinical care and its translational research to the community.
  Efficiency, quality, integration and connectedness will be critical
  attributes of a successful AHSC
Strategic Alignment Framework
Objectives of a New Model in Many AMCs
These restructurings are typically occurring in anticipation of health reform’s implementation to enable:
              A unified strategy linking clinical and academic success including:

      A single face to the              Increased efficiency:              Streamlined decision-
            market:                                                              making:

   service lines
Building for Convergence

         Governance Structure/Organizational Culture Must also Support Convergence
» Changing traditional culture
  entails at least three major
  factors, which are
  challenging in any
  environment… and
  particularly in Academia:
Goals for a New Organization

       If we agree with the AHSC characteristics of aligned organizations,
we can use these characteristics to evaluate whether potential models advance the
                   organization’s ability to achieve these goals

• Contribute to success across all missions and leverage the unique capabilities enabled by
  being an AHSC
• Ability to create a unified clinical vision and to implement that vision
• Ability to align incentives and invest funds in the areas of highest priority
• Eliminate or minimize redundant overhead and streamline administrative processes
• Engage and involve the faculty in creating a highly successful enterprise
• Ease of implementation
• Likelihood of success
SYSTEMS ABLE TO DEVELOP EXCELLENCE IN CORE CAPABILITIES
  WILL BE SUCCESSFUL IN ANY FUTURE SCENARIO FUTURE IN IN
The Question for the Future


• The question is not:
• “What will medicine look like in 20 years?”

• The questions are:
• “What can medicine be in 20 years?”
            and
• “What can we aspire to be as leaders in
  fulfilling that vision?”

Today we see more and more physicians coming together into large multi-specialty groups and an increasing numbers of hospital mergers. Further we are seeing physicians seeking employment by hospitals as an increasing trend well demonstrated by the migration of cardiologists from independent group practice to hospital based practice. » If AHSCs are to be successful moving ahead as leaders in clinical care they must bring the missions of research and education into this new environment and learn to adapt to the changes ahead. Bringing translational research and the science of health care delivery into the next decade will call for careful attention to organizational structure as well as physical structure. The central core medical center with distributed satellites of multi-disciplinary clinics and ambulatory services (e.g. imaging and sophisticated laboratory testing) will bring the AHSC clinical care and its translational research to the community. Efficiency, quality, integration and connectedness will be critical attributes of a successful AHSC

Editor's Notes

  1. Some days I do feel like I am in the movie “Ground Hog Day”. The movie in DC keeps playing the same thing over and over again he world is challenging us in many ways and while we feel the challenges we laso have many opportunities. The new BIG goal is to achieve Predictive Health and the Square wave life. We are making small steps forward here at Emory but this is a transitional process and in order to continue the transition we have to respond to the changing health care environment not by abandoning our commitment to our mission but by responding to the changes in healthcare and in order to do that integration is essential.
  2. Every one in this room is familiar with these stressors that continue to add uncertainty to our daily work This next one was orignally assembled by Carnegie Mellon University professor Paul Fischbeck – and reported by Mark Roth of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette (December, 2009)  – and highlights our Per Capita Healthcare Costs by Age as compared to four other countries (Germany, the U.K., Sweden and Spain).
  3. the good (and bad) news is that it is probably the strongest sector of our economy. Needed disruptive change in the healthcare sector will create disruptive change in the overall economy. How do we balance it? The health care sector added 290,000 jobs last year through November, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data compiled by the Advisory Board, http://i.huffpost.com/gen/894539/original.jpg There appears to be an inzatiable appetite for healthcare. The care has never been more sophisticated and more expensive
  4. Over the last five years, health care job growth has outpaced employment trends overall. Health care jobs account for one out of every six of the jobs created in 2012 so far, Employment rose in the health care industry over the last six years, even as jobs disappeared overall during the Great Recession and have reappeared slowly since. Indeed, when the U.S. hemorrhaged jobs in 2008 and 2009, health care companies continued hiring. The health care sector added 290,000 jobs this year through November, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data compiled by the Advisory Board, http://i.huffpost.com/gen/894539/original.jpg

  6. The HA article shows that the implementation of some increasingly popular operational changes in the ways clinicians deliver care—including the use of teams or “pods,” better information technology and sharing of data, and the use of nonphysicians—have the potential to offset completely the increase in demand for physician services while improving access to care, thereby averting a primary care physician shortage. shortages could be averted with physician "pooling," effective use of nurse practitioners and physician assistants and technology that reduces the need for face-to-face visits. "Furthermore, if we include the impact of diverting a fraction of patient appointments to nonphysician professionals or of addressing some of the demand through electronic com-munication channels, the predicted physician shortage essentially evaporates," the authors wrote, citing a 2009 Kaiser Permanente study that found that primary-care visits decreased 25.3% after implementation of an EHR that encouraged electronic communication with patients—rather than in-person visits—pertaining to management of chronic con-ditions.
  7. It is not like there are no opportunities in fact there are many but they require us to respond to the new dynamic. And BioScience and Bio Technology shows us the way to a new Vision of Health Care
  8. we see the beginnings of bespoke medicine, which makes what we are doing now feel like prêt-à-porter. Mike Snyder and his colleagues at Stanford ventured beyond the concept of genomics-based personalized medicine to introduce the iPOP , an integrative personal omics profile . On information overload We are drowning in data. But we don't have enough ability to analyze it. The more data you throw at something, you will find correlations—but correlation is not causation. What we now have is a demand for statisticians to shrink down the correlations to things that can be tested. Because if you don't, you're going to end up chasing mirages.
  9. We are all leaving trails of DATA DUST Perhaps jobs in this sector can offset some of the jobs liost http://www.intelligentfingerprinting.com/#
  10. People thinking and writing in this area have become enamored of alliteration---an ever-lengthening list of P words is used to describe this new biomedicine. Here are four of those words—we have chosen Predictive Health as a theme because it emphasizes discovery of markers that have predictive value and the focus on health as opposed to disease We could add here Professionalism as a seventhP. And some now like Precision. Along with enormous potential for good, new knowledge brings ethical and moral challenges that must be addressed.
  11. “ The ONLY wrinkle I have I sit on”” Calment
  12. This slide illustrates the basic concept of our institute. We propose, in parallel, to both deliver what we know now and conduct basic science research aimed at discovering new predictors and new ways to keep people healthy A Center for Health Discovery and Well Being will engage cohorts of healthy people in a program of detailed health assessment upon which to base personalized health plans. This will also be a demonstration project that will enable rapid translation and validation of new discoveries The basic science component of the Institute will be a broadly interdiscipinary activity that will aim to create new information that will help to understand human biology and provide both rationale and tools for translation to caring for human beings
  13. THERE ARE TWO CONCEPTS HERE---ONE IS THAT a. HEALTH AND DISEASE ARE A CONTINUUM, NOT A DICHOTOMY AND THE OTHER b. IS THE CONTRAST OF EMPHASIS OF CONTEMORARY MEDICINE AND PREDICTIVE HEALTH
  14. Our institute is assembled in this way The basic determinants of health interact to affect Processes that also interact and may be early indicators of an unhealthy state prior to development of end organ failure—i.e. disease. We will concentrate on the upper part of this scheme We will focus both basic science and technologies and the range of other disciplines that will be essential to implementation of a new system on the processes that determine health
  15. The integrated activity is diagramed here. Known and developed predictive measurements will identify people at risk for losing their health permitting early personalized health sustaining programs Predictive measurements will also define processes that will be new targets for novel interventions before disease develops. As processes are understood, more sophisticated health markers will be discovered and pharmacologic interventions will be developed that maintain the healthy phenotype For the most part, we now operate in a linear model that suggests unidirectional development from the basic laboratory to translational research to clinical trials to new therapy A circulating model may be more efficient where information resonates among the research laboratory, the clinic and health care professionals
  16. THIS LINKS DISEASE BURDEN AND COST, SO NOT JUST THE COST SAVINGS BUT THE SAVINGS IN HUMAN MISERY TO BE HAD BY PREDICTIVE APPROACH PHC HAS POTENTIAL TO PROVIDE BETTER RISK ASSESSMENT AND PREDICTION, EARLIER DETECTION, EARLIER TREATMENT AND TARGETED TREATMENTS.
  17. THE GOAL OF PREDICTIVE HEALTH IS NOT JUST TO BE FREE OF DISEASE BUT TO FLUORISH
  18. We designed the center with the deliberate goal of creating a space that did not look and feel like a clinic and was welcoming to essentially healthy people. We worked with an architect who familiarized himself with the Predictive Health concept and translated the concept into a physical space. A basic need for the concept to work is to engage healthy people in caring about their health and we felt that the physical space was an important part of that.
  19. Using validated questionnaires, we collect quantitative information about physical health, behaviors, environments and “well-being” that includes tendencies to depression, perceived stress, sleep quantity and quality, social support, familial relationships, and even spirituality.
  20. Measurements physical health made in the center are non-invasive determinations of body composition as well as BMI, and ultrasound determinations of detailed functions of large and small blood vessels. Overall cardiopulmonary health is determined by a treadmill determination of maximum oxygen consumption, a standard measurement.
  21. There are a number of biomarkers of the health of the bodys major systems that are available, but are not routinely made in healthy people. Our asessment of health include s an extensive battery of known biomarkers. But, a basic hypothesis of Predictive Health is that there are a few processes that are basic to normal function and that these can be measured. Oxidative stress, inflammation, immune function and regenerative capacity comprise these fundamental processes and can be measured using developing research methodology.
  22. NOT EVERYTHING GOT BETTER, BUT A LOT OF THINGS DID AND IMPROVEMENT APPEARS TO BE SUSTAINED BDI, first published in 1961,[5] consisted of twenty-one questions about how the subject has been feeling in the last week. Each question has a set of at least four possible answer choices, ranging in intensity. . The Perceived Stress Scale was developed to measure of the degree to which situations in one’s life are appraised as stressful. Psychological stress has been defined as the extent to which persons perceive (appraise) that their demands exceed their ability to cope. The Epworth Sleepiness Scale is a scale intended to measure daytime sleepiness or their probability of falling asleep on a scale of increasing probability from 0 to 3 for eight different situations that most people engage in during their daily lives,
