How to transition intelligently into risk-sharing arrangements by understanding the characteristics of government population and practice pattern analysis. A presentation from Joshua Rosenthal, PhD, Chief Scientific Officer and Co-Founder at RowdMap, Inc., on how doctors and hospitals can use newly released government data to intelligently transition into risk-sharing arrangements and delivering an analysis of providers and their performance against national and regional benchmarks for unnecessary spend and no value care at the 2015 national conference of CAPG – The Voice of Accountable Physicians Group.

At the core of Risk-Readiness℠ is
Unwarranted Variation:
RowdMap applies Dartmouth Atlas for Unwarranted
Variation methodologies to data on Medicare Parts B
& D. This research has been repeatedly validated
over the last 30 years and we now have a national
data set to apply the methodologies at a large scale.
The estimated 30% of medical expense that
goes to unnecessary care. This unnecessary
spend drives billing in a fee-for-serve economic
model, but success in pay-for-value comes
from managing and mitigating these pockets
of variation. Every provider has a unique practice
pattern that informs Risk-Readiness

For 50 years, reducing health care spend has
focused on the smallest piece of the spending pie.
“It’s generally agreed that about
30 percent of what we spend on
health care is unnecessary. If we
eliminate the unneeded care, there
are more than enough resources in
our system to cover everybody.”
-Dr. Elliott Fisher,
Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy
Shift focus from clinical edits, audits, and recovery efforts to
identifying care that is clinically appropriate, but unnecessary.
Historical efforts have shown returns, but they only look at a
fraction of total spending. Unnecessary care can account for up
to 30% of total spending and provides significantly larger
opportunities for cost containment and quality improvement.

If Dr. Fee for Service had same ratio
as Dr. Pay for Value:
• His decompression rate would drop from
6.01 to 0.436 per patient.
• Which translates to 2,608 fewer
decompressions per year.
• At an average cost of $332 per
decompression, this represents potential
savings of over $850K
If Dr. Fee for Service’s decompression to fusion
rate were average for orthopedic surgeons:
• He would have 1629 fewer decompressions
for a potential savings of $540K.

For example, 1 doc in 1 county on 1 DRG funnel
= $850k unwarranted / unexpected spend.
This will not show up in traditional utilization review
or actuarial analysis.
If only 5% of your book is at risk, you don’t care; but

How to Read RowdMap’s Provider Risk-Readiness SM Profiles
All metrics are based on “appropriateness of care” as defined by the Dartmouth Atlas for Unwarranted
Variation. CMS data sets (inclusive of Part B and Part D claims) were used to calculate efficiency (this
can be done on individual claims across all lines of business and holds up with astonishing accuracy
across populations as FFS offers the largest national dataset for benchmarking and makes an ideal
target for measuring practices patterns against unnecessary spend with natural referral networks.
All providers are compared against peers or cohorts. Physicians designate a primary specialty with CMS. All
physicians with the same specialty designation are classified as a cohort and peers may be normalized
based on actual practice patterns. For example, a GP is compared with other primary care focused
physicians. This allows apples-to-apples measurement against different specialties. Providers can be
measured against similar specialists in similar geographies or across lines of service.
Procedural efficiency address performance for pertinent procedures; prescription efficiency for
prescriptions; visit addresses visits per patient per condition per provider based on practice pattern;
referrals addresses referrals to specialists belonging to that condition ranked by intensity of specialist
type and practice patterns from target specialists; overall efficiency is composite score (weighting can
be adjusted based on domain, individual drill down metric or individual specialty, DRG or drug class).
A green dot indicates good performance (high efficiency / low unnecessary spend / risk-readiness) and a red
dot indicates low performance (low efficiency / high unnecessary spend / limited risk-readiness). The
dotted line in each profile indicates the national average for the metric (benchmarks can be set against
geographies). (Visualizations can includes dynamic tables, geo-coding, funnels and arcs.)

79. Across the board:
Above average Risk-Readiness SM
Overall Risk Readiness performance is better than individual drivers indicating physicians are
providing value beyond measures typically assessed in utilization review or by actuarial
analysis (unit cost, etc.).
This should be highlighted in payer negotiations and likely indicates strong performance in
when moving into very aggressive arrangements including setting up plans.
Notable variation within groups around overall performance and individual performance
domains including referrals.
This indicates greater than average opportunities to contain unnecessary costs based on
internal best practices within a group and across CAPG and should lead to greater than
average performance improvements particularly for specialists.
