Cyndy Nayer is the co-founder and CEO of Leveraging Health, an organization focused on linking health policy and management to value-based designs. Their mission is to maximize the value of every dollar spent on health by identifying innovations that improve health and economic outcomes. Leveraging Health publishes research on value-based designs and how sectors like employers can implement strategies focused on outcomes like prevention, chronic care management, and appropriate care delivery. Value-based designs engage employees, employers, and providers by incentivizing health outcomes through benefit designs and aims to improve health status through behavioral change interventions.
The document discusses value-based design (VBD) and its focus on using data and incentives to improve health outcomes, quality, and cost efficiency. It notes that VBD leverages prevention, chronic care management, and appropriate care delivery. Successful VBD requires engagement of employees, employers, and providers, and focuses on communication and alignment of incentives.
This document summarizes health care cost trends and initiatives for the City of Cincinnati from 1999-2009. It shows rising health care costs until initiatives like an 80/20 plan in 2005 and the Healthy Lifestyles wellness program launched in 2007 helped control increases. The Healthy Lifestyles program provides incentives for preventative health activities to encourage employees to adopt healthier lifestyles and lower costs long-term. Statistics on program participation and incentives earned are provided for 2007-2009, showing increasing participation over time.
The document discusses payment reform and outlines Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan's new payment model. The current fee-for-service model rewards volume over value. The goals of payment reform are to reward high value services, remain profitable by keeping people healthy, and pay less for lower quality care. The new BCBSM model includes tiered fees to pay high performing providers more, steering patients to these providers, privileging only high performers for certain services, shared savings programs, and bundled payments to expand DRG-based hospital payments to other services. The transformation requires linking higher payments to better performance over the long term through stepwise changes aligned with payment reforms.
1) Current payment systems incentivize providers to focus on high-volume procedures over management and coordination of care.
2) Reforming payments to better reflect the relative costs of different services and paying for outcomes rather than individual services could help address these issues.
3) There are several promising approaches under development, including bundled payments, patient-centered medical homes, and accountable care organizations. However, challenges remain around implementation and coordination across payers.
The document discusses various payment reform models that aim to control rising health care costs while maintaining or improving quality. It describes bundled payment, global payment, and medical home models. Bundled payment sets a single payment for all services for an episode of care. Global payment provides a set monthly fee per patient. The medical home model pays providers additional fees for care coordination capabilities. Implementation challenges include determining who oversees the payments and driving delivery system transformation. Evidence suggests these models may reduce costs but their effects on quality and access require further study.
The document discusses how the Affordable Care Act aims to address problems in the US healthcare system like the large number of uninsured, rising costs, and quality and access issues. It will expand coverage to 32 million uninsured through Medicaid expansion and health insurance exchanges. Reforms to payment and delivery systems are also expected to help slow premium growth and reduce costs over time. Implementation will occur gradually through 2019, with many provisions taking effect in 2014 such as the individual mandate, Medicaid expansion, and state-based insurance exchanges.

Technological University’s Center for
Innovative Materials Research.
Center for Innovative
Materials Research
In 2005, the U.S. Army recognized
the potential for advanced compos-
ites in military vehicles and other
battlefield applications. This led to a
five-year, $11 million agreement that
included funding for the design and
construction of the Center for Innova-
tive Materials Research (CIMR). The
$3.2 million, 7,200-square-foot full-
scale testing facility opened in 2006
and features a 30-foot clearance
height and a 25-ton crane to accom-
modate the testing of full-scale struc-
tural components, such as portable
battlefield bridges up to 100 feet long.

6. Oakland County Combined Regional Emergency Services
Training (CREST) Center
Reality-based training is what Oakland
Community College’s $15 million CREST
facility is all about. CREST (Combined
Regional Emergency Services Training)
is the only facility of its kind in the country.
It has become a national model for provid-
ing police, fire and EMT personnel with
scenario-based training – training that’s
taken on new meaning and dimensions
since the tragic events of Sept. 11, 2001.
The concept of a training “city” providing
realistic settings for real-life problems
faced by emergency responders is an in-
novative outcome of Oakland Community
College’s more than 30 years experience
in training emergency services personnel.
The CREST facility is located near
I-75 and M-59 at Oakland Community
College’s Auburn Hills Campus. This is
a unique training facility with furnished
houses, a bank, convenience store, motel
and five story live fire training tower. The
