   MORAL: To be sitting and doing nothing, you
    must be sitting very, very high up
Road Map

   What are the issues that are
    directing how health care
    is delivered in your
    community?

   What organizational
    disciplines are required for
    a hospital to successfully
    plan and execute its
    mission?
       What should we monitor?
       What tough decisions lie
        ahead?
The New Political and Economic
Climate and the Implications for
          Hospitals
The New Political Climate –
Designing New Delivery and Payment Models

   Aggressive movement to EMR + EHR
       Stimulus Funding Available
       “Meaningful Use”
   Value-Based Purchasing:
       Episode based reimbursement (Bundling)
         ● One payment for the total health care
           “episode”
         ● Shared/allocated by all providers
       Pay For Performance initiatives
       “Never Events” (Hospital-acquired conditions)
       Chronic Care Management
       Medical Homes
The New Political Climate –
        Moving targets and new regulations



   Impact of insurance requirements
       Know your community
 340B Program – CAH’s may apply
  immediately
 Medicare inpatient hospital payment
  adjustment volume
       Extended for 1 year
       Criteria threshold up to 1600 Medicare
        discharges
The New Political Climate –
        Moving targets and new regulations


   Extended Medicare flex grants for 1 more year
   Payment adjustment for home health – thru Jan,
    2017
       3% add on


   Medicaid expanded to 133% of federal poverty level
       What’s the impact in your community?
   Medicaid and Medicare phased in matching hospital
    payment - 2014

Barriers to Collaboration Today
   Top Physician Concerns…
       Personal income
       Malpractice costs
       Work load
       “Hassle factor” of today’s
        medicine
   …Compared to major goals
    and concerns of hospitals:
       Quality – evidence based and standardized care
       Access – developing new markets/physician practices
       Costs –improve cost effective care and management of
        chronic care
       Margin – to support the mission and recapitalize the
        institution
       Access to capital

    Why Active StrategicPlanning  MORAL: To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up
  • 6.
    Road Map  What are the issues that are directing how health care is delivered in your community?  What organizational disciplines are required for a hospital to successfully plan and execute its mission?  What should we monitor?  What tough decisions lie ahead?

    The New Politicaland Economic Climate and the Implications for Hospitals
  • 8.
    The New PoliticalClimate – Designing New Delivery and Payment Models  Aggressive movement to EMR + EHR  Stimulus Funding Available  “Meaningful Use”  Value-Based Purchasing:  Episode based reimbursement (Bundling) ● One payment for the total health care “episode” ● Shared/allocated by all providers  Pay For Performance initiatives  “Never Events” (Hospital-acquired conditions)  Chronic Care Management  Medical Homes
  • 9.
    The New PoliticalClimate – Moving targets and new regulations  Impact of insurance requirements  Know your community  340B Program – CAH’s may apply immediately  Medicare inpatient hospital payment adjustment volume  Extended for 1 year  Criteria threshold up to 1600 Medicare discharges
  • 10.
    The New PoliticalClimate – Moving targets and new regulations  Extended Medicare flex grants for 1 more year  Payment adjustment for home health – thru Jan, 2017  3% add on  Medicaid expanded to 133% of federal poverty level  What’s the impact in your community?  Medicaid and Medicare phased in matching hospital payment - 2014
