Riding the Rapids of Payment Reform: Downstream Effects of Quality Reporting ...Bill Presley
In this presentation, we highlighted how quality measurement programs impact reimbursement affecting your revenue. The revenue at risk in your organization. We focused on quality programs like Value-Based Purchasing (VBP), Merit-Based Incentive Program (MIPS) and Alternative Payment Models (APM) and their impact on Part A and Part B reimbursements.
It’s no surprise that reimbursement tied to quality performance is quickly becoming a reality for hospitals and physicians. CMS’ aggressive goals aimed at increasing the percentage of Medicare payments associated with quality versus quantity can be achieved through such programs as Value-based Purchasing and MACRA. This session will cover scoring methodologies, reporting requirements, reimbursement impact, infrastructure (and other resource needs), EMR tools and tactics, and workflow modifications.
Revenue at Risk: Understanding Financial Impacts of Quality ReportingBill Presley
Jodi Frei, Northwestern Medical Center Vermont, and I co-presented at the MUSE Executive Institute on Revenue at Risk: Understanding Financial Impacts of Quality Reporting. The Executive Institute featured many amazing CXO's discussing the changing landscape of revenue cycle management and how finance, quality, and IT departments are converging on revenue cycle.
Though pay for performance is the common theme, the logistics of programs including Value Based Purchasing (VBP), Inpatient Quality Reporting (IQR), Hospital Acquired Condition (HAC) Reduction Program, Readmission Reduction, MACRA, MIPS and APMs, are very different. In this session, the specifics of each Quality Program including reporting requirements, scoring methodologies, and associated incentives and penalties will be covered. In addition, tools to track performance and quantify financial risk will be shared.
Reimbursement in this era of health care reform is challenging. We all seek success under this new normal in health care. Optimizing revenue capture in a quality reimbursement model requires acquisition of new knowledge and the use of new tools and strategies. Join us in the conversation; share your strategies; learn from others.
The Alphabet Soup of Clinical Quality Measures ReportingBill Presley
CMS is transitioning to what the they call "a new and more responsive regulatory framework" for quality reporting and reimbursement. CMS goals are "…electronic health records helping physicians, clinicians, and hospitals to deliver better care, smarter spending, and healthier people". Over the next couple years, we will see a transformation of fee for service into value-based care models driven by the VBP, Quality Payment Program, MACRA, Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) and Alternative Payment Models (APM). Healthcare organizations will no longer be motivated by implementing and meeting Meaningful Use, but instead will be driven by value-based care and risk-based payment models that focus on quality outcomes for reimbursements.
In this Education Session we will review:
• How CMS is aligning clinical quality measures (CQMs) to reduce the reporting burden for healthcare organizations and providers. We will cover the vision and goals for achieving quality alignment for CMS.
• We will dive into the following CMS reporting programs and how they interact with each other: Value-Based Purchasing (VBP), Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA), Merit-based Incentive Payments (MIPS), Hospital Inpatient Quality Reporting (IQR), The Joint Commission (ORYX), Outpatient Quality Reporting (OQR), and Alternative Payment Models (APM).
MO HIT Assistance Center Rural Hospital presentationlearfield
The document summarizes the services provided by a Regional Extension Center (REC) in Missouri to assist healthcare providers with adopting and using electronic health records (EHRs). The REC provides technical assistance, training, and guidance to help providers select and implement EHR systems, redesign workflows to optimize EHR use, and achieve meaningful use incentives. It has helped over 1,100 primary care providers and 55 rural hospitals to date. Key services include vendor selection, implementation support, workflow redesign, user training, and helping providers meet meaningful use criteria.
From effectively implementing electronic health records to reducing hospital readmissions to reporting more specific Medicare patient data, health care providers are reaping rewards from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services for improving particular quality and safety measures. But many are also facing penalties, and the results for some institutions have been mixed. On the whole, the national readmission rate is dropping, but in 2014 a record 2,600-plus hospitals were fined for seeing too many patients return for care within 30 days, according to federal data.
This session will help attendees understand the range of CMS cuts and bonuses and a firsthand look at how the new regulations can help providers improve care.
Ramani Moonesinghe, Associate National Clinical Director for Elective Care at NHS England, discusses the use of data for monitoring care quality at various levels within the system.
An Insider's Guide to Working with CMS - Shari LingCancerSupportComm
This document summarizes a presentation given by Shari Ling, Deputy Chief Medical Officer at CMS, to the Cancer Policy Institute at the Cancer Support Community. Some key points:

- CMS aims to align quality measures across different healthcare settings to reduce reporting burden and focus measurement on the issues that matter most to patients.
- CMS is responsible for administering Medicare, Medicaid, and other large healthcare programs, and uses quality measurement to incentivize higher quality, more coordinated care, and payment reform efforts like value-based purchasing.
Opportunities in today's healthcare delivery system finalWilliam Cockrell
William Cockrell discussed incentives and opportunities in healthcare following the passage of the Affordable Care Act. He outlined three levels of incentives - those given just for being liked, those requiring proof that practices like the payer, and those requiring proof payers should like the practice. Cockrell then detailed specific incentive programs from Medicare, Medicaid, and Blue Cross Blue Shield including bonuses for primary care, use of electronic records, care transitions, and quality metrics. Participation in these programs and improving operations will position practices for future value-based payment models.
Evaluation of the Integrated Care and Support Pioneers ProgrammeNuffield Trust
This document summarizes the findings of evaluations of the Integrated Care and Support Pioneers Programme in the UK. The evaluations found that while Pioneers aspired to comprehensive system change, their activities focused more narrowly on initiatives like risk stratification and care coordination teams. Progress was difficult to measure against indicators and Pioneers faced challenges from financial pressures and competing priorities. The evaluations concluded that further integration will be challenging under increasing demands on the health system.
Developing Innovative Payment Approaches: Finding the Path to High PerformanceNASHP HealthPolicy
This document discusses developing innovative payment approaches to improve health care performance. It notes problems with the current payment system like fragmented care and rising costs. The goal is to create incentives for care coordination and slow spending growth. Different payment methods like fee-for-service and bundled payments correspond to organizational models on a continuum from independent practices to integrated systems. The document outlines payment reforms in the Affordable Care Act like accountable care organizations and bundled payments. It emphasizes testing various models through the new Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation to reduce costs while preserving or enhancing quality.
The document summarizes Maine's Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) pilot program. Key points:
- The 3-year multi-payer pilot aims to support practice transformation for improved outcomes and lower costs. It includes 26 primary care practices across the state.
- Practices are required to meet core expectations like team-based care, same-day access, and incorporating patient/family input. They receive learning supports and ongoing data feedback.
- The pilot is evaluating changes in clinical quality, patient experience, and cost/utilization measures like hospitalizations. Early lessons indicate the importance of leadership, teams, and external coaching support for change.

Hospital readmission reduction's impact on assisted living feb 2013Joyce Clark
This document discusses how hospital readmission reduction programs under the Affordable Care Act are impacting assisted living facilities. Hospitals now face penalties for excessive readmissions within 30 days of discharge, prompting them to form Accountable Care Organizations and shift patients to lower-cost post-acute care settings like assisted living. As hospitals feel the financial pressures, assisted living facilities need to demonstrate their ability to provide quality care and minimize readmissions in order to maintain partnerships with hospitals and referral sources. The document provides strategies for assisted living facilities to enhance their services, collect data, and implement best practices to adapt to these healthcare industry changes.
This document discusses Tennessee's pursuit of value-based purchasing for its Medicaid population as a way to improve healthcare quality while reducing costs. It outlines what value-based purchasing is, including common payment models that reward value over volume. Tennessee currently has over 1.6 million Medicaid recipients, and the document advocates for shifting away from fee-for-service and towards value-based purchasing as a better fit. Tennessee's initiative includes episodes of care, primary care transformation, and long term services/support programs to achieve the goals of improving the healthcare system's value and making care more efficient, high-quality, and patient-centered. Challenges and opportunities of this approach are also addressed.

1) Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) are groups of doctors, hospitals, and other care providers who come together voluntarily to give coordinated high quality care to their patients.
2) ACOs aim to improve care and lower costs through improved care coordination and preventative care. They are paid for keeping their patients healthy instead of paying for each test and procedure.
3) For ACOs to be successful, providers need organizational capabilities like managing risk, using electronic health records, tracking performance measures, and engaging patients in self-care.
Soraya Ghebleh - Using Financial Incentives to Influence Clinical Decision Ma...Soraya Ghebleh
This slide deck discusses some of the relevant factors that should be considered when designing financial incentives for providers of healthcare services.
The document discusses the changing landscape of healthcare and new models of care delivery in the UK. It outlines the Care Quality Commission's (CQC) role in regulating healthcare services to ensure high quality and safety standards. The CQC aims to encourage improvement, share information to support change, and take an intelligence-driven approach to regulation. New models of integrated care discussed include GP surgeries located in A&E units and pharmacists reviewing medication for care home residents. The CQC's priorities are to encourage innovation, use data to drive regulation, promote a shared view of quality, and improve efficiency.
The document discusses the challenges and opportunities facing the US healthcare system in light of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA). It notes the fragmented and episodic nature of care prior to reforms, and the goals of PPACA to introduce new models like accountable care organizations (ACOs) and health insurance marketplaces. However, it also acknowledges the uncertainties created by reform and ongoing tests of new programs. The document advocates for a coordinated, team-based approach leveraging emerging technologies like telehealth to improve outcomes across domains and overcome common challenges in a sustainable way.

The presentation emphasizes that digital health technologies can help improve care but also require leadership, change management, and integrating new competencies and ways of working into clinical practice.
This document discusses several trends in healthcare, including the growing role of technology in patient engagement, the migration to value-based care, and the expansion of Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act. It notes that technology tools are empowering patients to take a more active role in their health, while value-based models require defining and measuring meaningful outcomes. The expansion of Medicaid will increase enrollment and expenditures but also drive innovation in care delivery models.
Environmental forces will drive the transformation of healthcare delivery and financing over the next decade, demanding changes from hospitals and health systems. The document identifies 10 must-do strategies for hospitals to implement, including aligning providers, improving quality and efficiency, and developing integrated systems. It also describes core competencies organizations should develop, such as creating accountable leadership and utilizing electronic data. Hospitals are encouraged to assess their progress on strategies and competencies to successfully navigate the transition to value-based care.
The document describes a simulation project called SIMTEGR8 that was conducted to evaluate the impact of interventions from the Better Care Fund on emergency admissions in Leicestershire, UK. The project used simulation modeling to assess four integrated care pathways and provide recommendations. Workshops were held with stakeholders and patients to discuss the pathways and identify issues. The findings from the project informed local commissioning of integrated care under the Better Care Fund.
Purpose of the Call:
•Speakers from AHS will share:
•AHS’ approach to measurement for improvement (MedRec)
•Lessons learned throughout our measurement journey
•Their approach to using data to drive change at the frontline
The document discusses current industry trends in healthcare, including a shift from volume-based to value-based reimbursement and the development of accountable care organizations and population health management. It outlines two stages of integration for providers: strategic alignment and clinical integration. Stage I strategic alignment can be achieved through various models including joint ventures, clinical co-management agreements, and professional services agreements. Stage II clinical integration focuses on merging clinical and business models through accountable care organizations, clinically integrated networks, and quality collaboratives.
This document discusses spinal analgesia and its role in multimodal analgesia protocols for postoperative pain management. It presents evidence that continuous epidural analgesia with low-dose local anesthetic and opioid combinations provides effective pain relief for 48-96 hours following colonic or pelvic surgery. Intrathecal analgesia is shown to provide lower pain scores and less opioid consumption than patient-controlled analgesia, allowing for earlier mobility and discharge from the hospital. While adverse effects like pruritus, sedation and respiratory depression are risks, they are manageable when patients are properly monitored, especially for the first 24 hours following neuraxial opioid administration. The document advocates for multimodal, opioid-sparing analgesia and suggests intrathecal
This document discusses the quadratus lumborum (QL) block. It begins by describing the anatomy of the QL muscle and its relation to surrounding fascia. It then outlines four types of QL blocks - lateral, posterior, anterior, and intramuscular - showing their needle positions and expected spread. Studies comparing these blocks found the anterior approach consistently blocked lumbar nerves while the posterior approach showed more reliable thoracic spread. Risks include lumbar plexus involvement and proximity to kidneys. In conclusion, QL blocks may provide superior thoracic coverage to TAP blocks and the anterior approach can block the lumbar plexus, but more research is needed to validate techniques and determine best practices.
This presentation discusses the opioid epidemic, guidelines for prescribing opioids, and strategies for managing postoperative pain with reduced opioid use. It provides objectives about understanding the societal costs of the opioid epidemic, complying with state prescribing laws, and following guidelines for different types of pain. The presentation reviews CDC guidelines for prescribing opioids, the Arizona prescription drug monitoring program, factors influencing opioid use, and results from a study showing most patients use fewer opioids than prescribed after surgery. It emphasizes multimodal analgesia, patient education, and tapering or discontinuing certain medications before surgery to reduce postoperative opioid needs.
Non-pharmacologic pain-relieving therapies discussed in the document include embracing family/companionship, heat/cold application, massage, repositioning, and environmental modifications like lighting, sounds, temperature. Spiritual interventions of being present, prayer, listening, touch and reflection are covered. Deep breathing exercises are recommended to help with surgery's stress response and relaxation/guided imagery/mindfulness practices can help reduce discomfort through visualization.
This document discusses the use of intravenous lidocaine, magnesium, and ketamine infusions for perioperative pain management. It provides an overview of the mechanisms of action, evidence from studies, dosing recommendations, and conclusions about each agent. Specifically, it finds that lidocaine reduces postoperative pain scores and opioid use when given as a bolus plus infusion. Magnesium decreases morphine consumption and pain scores when used perioperatively. Ketamine significantly decreases postoperative opioid use when given intravenously in the perioperative period, especially for more painful surgeries. The document concludes that a multimodal approach using these agents can help manage acute perioperative pain.
The document announces Surgical Spring Week, the annual conference of the Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons (SAGES) to be held March 22-25, 2017 in Houston, TX. The conference will feature scientific sessions and postgraduate courses with Dr. Horacio Asbun serving as Program Chair and Dr. Melina Vassiliou as Program Co-Chair.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

Everything – even an introduction – is influenced by the new health care landscape.
10 years ago, what I would tell you is this
39 hospitals, more than 180 primary care offices and 900+ care locations including urgent care and free-standing Eds
30,000 employees including nearly 3,000 physicians/ACPs and 15,000 nurses
Full continuum of care including several nationally recognized specialty services
Geographic footprint that spans South Carolina and North Carolina and reaches into Georgia
More than 11 million patient encounters every year
More than $8 billion in annual revenue
But it’s not 2005. And while we do describe ourselves in these terms still today, we no longer define ourselves by these terms.
Why?
Big only matters if big = access to care.
full continuum of care matters if care is integrated and produces value
Today, I’ll introduce CHS this way…
Innovative care organizations and services
One of the most comprehensive electronic medical records systems in the country
More than 60,000 diabetic patients in managed care
One of the largest virtual critical care (e-ICU) programs in the nation
More than 500 behavioral health ED consults conducted virtually per month
Patient safety initiatives prevented more than 9,800 patient safety incidents and saved nearly $60 million related health care costs over two years
Why is this our we describe ourselves today?
Up until now providers could have had and/or position when it comes to volume or value. But in today’s world the conversation about value is a conversation about strategy. Quality is the driver of evolving integrated delivery networks and moves beyond what is just transactional.
Surgeons, like all providers, have a decision to make. The question is what do you want your role to be? Is it a narrow role? In the case of surgeons, just a procedural role? Or is it broader, with more responsibility? There are positives and negatives to both. The burden is educating yourselves to make strategic choices and asking the right questions.
FROM VOLUME TO VALUE
Volume: Facility based, Individual patient focus, variable, Issue-focused, Silo work, Fee for Service, Uncoordinated
Value: Team-based care, Safe, Improved Quality, Engaged Physicians, Transparency, Care Coordination, Team Accountability, Standardization, Innovation, Cost Containment, Patient-centric, Reactive, Information Technology
Our system faces many of the same issues and questions that you do. And as we look at these areas and see the overlap and understand how the landscape is changing for both us as providers we have asked ourselves hard questions about our direction and our focus. How we are able to answer those questions drives how we redefine ourselves and how we create a high-quality, high-value, high-performing system that is positioned to thrive in a new economic reality. These are six questions that our organization had to ask of ourselves as we began to decide what our role would be in the transformation. How would be move from a service model to a performance model? As went about answering these questions we uncovered the challenges and the opportunities facing us.
Pursuit of quality is a long journey
Not directly about revenue – though they are related.
These five words represent many of the challenges we face as we go through our particular journey.
Performance
Unification
Accountability
Culture
Differentiation
From a system standpoint, we can no longer look at treatment as episodic. What happens before the OR and what happens after the OR impact outcomes and therefore impact performance
Never easy, never quick but necessary
Work different & do different work
ISOC

Three year study developing a mental skills curriculum to help surgeons remain focused in the OR (being led by Dr. Stefanidis, using a grant from AHRQ)
Strategy to enhance safety and performance – training not typically offered but a necessary change in part to adapt to new payment pressures
Among our results
25,614 patients received appropriate care
9,844 patient safety events avoided
$60 million in related health costs avoided
Nearly 1,000 readmission avoided
More than 28,000 patients discharged from the ED in under 180 minutes
Overall strategy of collaboratives, coaching and cultural improvement achieved transformative results:
One of the first systems to form a Patient Safety Organization
Federal PSO designation provides to improved information sharing across the System
One of 27 healthcare organizations selected for CMS’ Partnership for Patients Hospital Engagement Network (HEN)
One of just two healthcare systems to receive HEN contract modification: Leading Edge Advanced Practice Topics
Aggressively reduce harm in five areas: Sepsis, Antibiotic Stewardship, Procedural Harm, HACs, Readmission and Community Care
Culture is impacted by two key themes: patient and family engagement and safety across the board:
Identified as a leader and recognized by the Caregiver Action Network (CAN) as one of the national top 25 patient and family engagement best practices for the “Carolinas approach” of obtaining a deep understanding of each hospital’s genuine performance and establishing and sharing linkages between patient and family engagement and HEN outcomes
Achieved significant milestones in the transformation of our culture towards engaging patients and families as partners, including:
Family member voice keynoting annual HEN leadership meeting to discuss patient harm event
Significant increase in the number of hospitals in our HEN who have established Patient and Family Advisory Councils
Patient and family engagement as the central topic for our quarterly Leadership Development Institute, a gathering of approximately 1,400 leaders representing the entire care continuum
Patient keynote during our Quality and Service Sharing Day, a gathering of nearly 1,000 to celebrate the best projects in safety, quality and service

Transparency is being demanded by consumers and forced by third-party rating systems – there will only be more
Last year Consumer Reports released it’s first ranking of CV care
US News & World Report is about to release data on five common hospital diagnoses: heart bypass, heart failure, knee replacement, hip replacement and COPD
Metrics include safety and performance – people will have more data and ask more questions
Even if payments aren’t directly linked to performance, public perception of performance can impact volumes
