EBMS Case Study: Value Based Health Strategylhenderson2232
EBMS’ value-based benefit strategy takes a holistic approach toward employee benefits. This strategy is focused first on the patient/employee, and second on how that impacts the overall financial health of your organization. The approach accomplishes the following:
1. Wraps a benefit design that supports prevention and wellness, with the ability to support the patient in the event of an unplanned or unexpected illness or injury. This is done through the wellness benefit available at first dollar, inclusion of a Health Reimbursement Account that can be carried over from year to year, reasonable out-of-pocket maximums, and generous in-network co-insurance.
2. Engages the employee through incentives, completion of an annual Health Risk Assessment (HRA), and additional funding by the employer into a Health Reimbursement Account or other qualified consumer directed account.
3. Empowers the employee through Disease Management and Wellness initiatives geared toward their personal needs, with targeted interventions from health coaches to educate and encourage compliance.
4. Provides greater access to care through an onsite-clinic. This model connects the provider with the pharmacist and care management team to close the loop between the benefit plan management and the services the patient is actually receiving.
5. Educates the members on the specific health concerns unique to your population. For example, following the completion of an HRA campaign, the group aggregate report might disclose your population to be at high risk for obesity and lung cancer. Through the addition of a smoking cessation program and wellness initiatives, your organization can see an immediate positive impact, with a reduction in your exposure to the illnesses tied to both of those behavior issues, and an increased productivity as members become more active and concerned with achieving good health.

Overcoming Fear of Health Technology Programsbartlettc
This document summarizes a presentation given by Prof. Mukesh Haikerwal and Chris Bartlett on using 21st century tools to overcome challenges in healthcare. It discusses how health technology programs have had some success but also poor publicity. Rising healthcare costs are challenging many countries. While developing economies spend less on healthcare currently, that spending is expected to increase with economic development. There is a need to better manage chronic diseases through tools like eHealth. New technological trends are impacting all parts of the healthcare system. Successful eHealth programs require leadership, a focus on users, and addressing behavioral changes.
New Zealand has a publicly funded healthcare system with universal coverage. It has a national electronic health record system including a unique patient identifier used for over 20 years. Most primary care practices use comprehensive electronic medical record systems integrated with labs and prescribing. Hospitals use integrated clinical workstations and patient administration systems. The national health IT plan aims to achieve high quality integrated care through shared care programs and national clinical systems like ePrescribing. Standards are developed through HISO and openEHR is used to define content and enable data sharing and secondary use through a shared health information platform.

This document discusses how adopting GS1 standards could improve efficiency and productivity in the NHS. It notes that the NHS performs well internationally but still faces challenges operating as a 1940s system in the modern world. Adopting GS1 standards could help standardize processes, reduce clinical variation, improve procurement practices, and free up clinicians' time by reducing administrative burdens.

Fam medicine making the case andrew bazemoreMolly Brenner
This document discusses the importance of primary care and family medicine in building an effective healthcare system. It provides historical definitions and reports supporting primary care as the foundation of healthcare. However, the US ranks lower than most other developed nations on health outcomes despite higher expenditures. There is a need to strengthen primary care through policies that increase the primary care workforce and distribution, support primary care training programs, and reduce compensation gaps between primary care and specialties. Primary care is essential for improving health outcomes, reducing costs, and achieving broad access to care.
This presentation was given on April 7, 2014 as part of FMCC 2014. Andrew Bazemore, MD, MPH serves as the Director of the Robert Graham Center for Policy and p[provided an update on studies in family medicine and primary care.
- The document summarizes the benefits of implementing a patient-centered medical home (PCMH) model, including reduced costs, improved outcomes, and better care coordination.
- Studies show PCMH practices have significantly reduced costs, especially inpatient costs, and utilization for high-risk patients. They have also improved outcomes such as reduced hospital days and emergency room visits.
- Transitioning to a PCMH model focuses on proactive, coordinated care through a team-based approach rather than episodic care during office visits. This emphasizes prevention, chronic disease management, and tracking of tests and follow-ups.

The US outperforms Canada in measures of timely access but lags in efficiency, equity, and healthy lives. Overall, the survey ranks Canada's healthcare system as 10th best globally and the US system as 11th.

The document discusses using models of care to understand the impact of networks of care for long term conditions. It describes a patient-centered "House of Care" framework for delivering coordinated care to people with long term conditions. The House of Care aims to provide person-centered care that addresses all of a patient's needs at both the local level, through integrated systems involving health, social care and other services, and at the personal level through care planning and self-management support. Implementing the House of Care framework could save the NHS money by reducing unplanned hospital admissions and empowering patients.
This document discusses the economic burden of diabetes in India. It notes that diabetes leads to a 17 times higher risk of blindness, over 50% of dialysis patients and amputations are due to diabetes, and diabetes is associated with a 4 times higher risk of hypertension. The costs of managing diabetes are high due to factors like delayed diagnosis, complications from the disease, and costs of drugs, hospitalizations, and surgeries. The costs are expected to rise significantly in the future. Currently, about two-thirds of healthcare spending in India is out-of-pocket. The document discusses the need for health insurance and social health insurance models to help address the rising economic burden of diabetes.
