A Look Ahead for Health System Pharmacies
1. Health systems will increasingly focus on population health management through formal programs with community pharmacies to improve medication adherence for high-risk patients. At least half of health systems will serve high-risk patients through these programs.
2. Health systems will explore innovative approaches to improve patient care outcomes and generate new revenue sources. The pharmacy enterprise in at least 50% of systems will use data analytics to measure its impact on care.
3. New drugs will require different management approaches like special storage or monitoring. At least 10% of new medications used in health systems will require distinct workflows.
4. Health systems will establish career ladders for pharmacy technicians to help pharmacists participate on patient care teams. At least 50

This document provides an overview of accountable care organizations (ACOs). It discusses that ACOs aim to improve care management, limit unnecessary expenditures, and provide patient freedom of choice while making providers financially accountable. The document outlines the principles of ACOs, their relationship to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, payment models, quality measures, stakeholders, and challenges of implementing ACOs.
Integrated Clinical Engagement Model To Improve Quality Of Care
The document discusses an integrated clinical engagement model used by payers to enhance quality of care through collaboration between payers, providers, and patients. A key component is a clinical data repository that integrates different types of patient data from various sources. This allows providers access to comprehensive patient information, payers to better manage costs and quality, and patients access to their own health information through personal health records. Challenges remain in fully implementing this model.

... Healthcare Marketing Leader: Pharmaceutical, Medical Device, RPA, SaaS, Digital Marketing Strategy, Managed Care, Market Access - John G. Baresky How IPAs Win Together
There are three ways, we believe, Independent Physician Associations win together in today's value based healthcare environment. We give you the answers here in this informative slideshare...
BayCare Physician Partners
1) BayCare is creating a Clinically Integrated Network (CIN) called BayCare Physician Partners to coordinate care across hospitals, physicians, and insurers in the Tampa Bay area.
2) The CIN will establish quality standards and use data sharing to monitor performance, with the goal of improving outcomes and reducing costs through greater integration and adherence to best practices.
3) Physicians will benefit from care coordination and performance-based payments distributed by the CIN, while maintaining independence in their practices.
Sha cin orientation final
CINs (Clinically Integrated Networks) are groups of healthcare providers that work to improve care, reduce costs, and maintain quality standards. They create structures to manage value-based contracts, allow providers to demonstrate value, and integrate physicians and health systems. Key elements of CINs include collaborative physician governance, a focus on population health through data sharing and care management, health IT infrastructure, and aligning provider incentives through value-based contracts and shared savings. Providers commit to engaging with the network, focusing on quality metrics, and using resources to standardize care. In return, CINs provide opportunities for shared savings contracts and support providers through committees and performance feedback.

Poster Presentation UT Austin
This document discusses challenges with patient matching in health information exchange. Accurately matching patient data between organizations is difficult due to issues like missing data and data entry errors. This can lead to problems like delayed care, safety issues, and costs. The authors propose that improving data quality, matching algorithms, and best practices could increase patient matching rates from an initial 10-15% to over 95%. Strong patient matching is needed for health information exchange to achieve its benefits.

Ddba 8560 powerpoint presentation
The document discusses different payment models for healthcare organizations, including fee-for-service (FFS), pay-for-performance (P4P), and value-based purchasing (VBP). It describes how the Affordable Care Act introduced VBP in 2012 to link Medicare payments to quality and efficiency metrics. Under VBP, payments are categorized based on their link to quality, and incentives or penalties are applied depending on whether targets for process, outcome, cost, and patient satisfaction metrics are met. The goal is to transition more payments to alternative models that reward value over volume of services provided.

Location: Cleburne, Texas
Type: Private, not-for-profit hospital
Beds: 137
Distinction: Top 2 percent in composite of five surgical care improvement process-of-care measures,
among more than 2,300 hospitals (more than half of U.S. acute-care hospitals) eligible for the
analysis.
Timeframe: April 2007 through March 2008. See Appendix for full methodology.
This case study describes the strategies and factors that appear to contribute to high performance
on surgical care improvement measures at Texas Health Harris Methodist–Cleburne. It is based on

materials provided by the hospital during May through June 2009.
SuMMAry
Texas Health Harris Methodist–Cleburne is one of the top performers in the
country on the surgical care process-of-care measures, often referred to as the
“core” or Surgical Care Improvement Project (SCIP) measures. The measures,
developed by the Hospital Quality Alliance and reported to the Centers for
Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), relate to achievement of recommended
treatment in four clinical areas: heart attack, heart failure, pneumonia, and surgi-
cal care. In addition to its high performance on surgical measures, Texas Health
is performing in at least the top 15th percentile in these other areas.
This case study focuses on Texas Health’s achievement in providing recom-
mended treatment related to surgical care. The hospital has relied on concurrent
review, changes to care processes, and preprinted order sets to improve. It also
has benefited from being a part of a larger health system. After the SCIP mea-
sures were introduced in 2004, an interdisciplinary workgroup aimed to identify
opportunities for improving the hospital’s performance on these measures.

Healthcare organizations are shifting to value-based payment models that focus on improving quality while controlling costs. Many organizations are struggling to determine where to focus their resources to drive improvements. Participants at a recent conference discussed that larger organizations with more resources have generally made more progress in developing the competencies needed for value-based care. Executives said organizations need to collaborate across silos to develop these competencies and succeed under new payment models.
Miami_Childrens_Hosp_GE_ CS_21NOV11
Miami Children's Hospital appointed a new CEO in 2008 with a mandate to transform it into a top 10 pediatric hospital. The CEO implemented a three-pronged approach of cultural change, process improvement, and stronger operations. This included defining a set of cultural values, implementing an operating cycle based on GE's model, and using Lean process improvement. The results after 3-4 years included improved quality, financial performance, customer satisfaction, and growth metrics that normally would have taken 10 years. Key factors in the success were engaging physicians, developing employees, and gaining strategic focus through the operating cycle.
Three Steps to Prioritize Clinical Quality Improvement in Healthcare
Healthcare organizations today have access to so much data from across their systems that they may struggle to know where to focus quality improvement efforts. An analytic framework and a stepwise process ensures organizations have broad data access and can identify the most significant opportunities for impact. With a strategic, data-informed approach to clinical quality improvement, health systems can consume fewer resources, discover cost savings, and improve ROI and the quality of care.
Three steps comprise an effective quality improvement process:
1. Adopt a healthcare-specific, open, scalable data platform.
2. Identify improvement priorities using the 80-20 rule.
3. Gain consensus from clinical teams on specific projects and goals.
Principles and Pracitces of Accountable Care Transformation
Facing the most sweeping payment transformation in history, healthcare systems are balancing two competing mandates: build the competencies needed to succeed under value-based payment models while remaining financially viable in the current fee-for-service landscape. Across the next decade, changing payment models will drive a fundamental transformation in care delivery, emphasizing dramatically lower costs and improvements in quality. While this final destination is clear, today’s health care leaders face high stakes and a great deal of uncertainty as they architect the path for their organizations' survival and success not only under value-based payment, but—critically—during the transition period.
Join Marie Dunn, Director of Analytics, as she outlines the key near-term priorities for health care organizations transitioning to value-based payment models, with a particular focus on the importance of leveraging data to drive effective decision making. She will also use Health Catalyst solutions to demonstrate these principles.
Marie will cover:
State of the transition from fee-for-service to value-based payment models
Near-term priorities for organizations looking to build the competencies to successfully manage at-risk contracts, including:
At-risk contract management: monitor performance against contractual requirements and leverage data to drive payer negotiations.
Network management: reduce leakage and improve referral patterns and network composition.
Care management: focus care team efforts by leveraging data to identify the patients in greatest need of support.
Performance monitoring: identify opportunities to improve performance on quality measures, like the ACO quality measures.
Strategies for balancing near-term priorities with long-term efforts to drive care transformation across the delivery system

They will dive deep into lessons learned in addition to providing a primer on what has always been and continues to be vitally important to success in value based care. Specifics they will cover include:
- Approaches to simplify quality metric reporting
- Enhanced methodology that zeroes in on identifying high-value opportunities to improve patient populations
- Key tips to expand your business with new contracts
Dr. Flaster and Mr. Varnum’s combined experience make them uniquely qualified to guide you in your ACO or CIN journey. Dr. Flaster comes from a clinical background where she worked as Associate Medical Director at Partners HealthCare - one of the largest ACOs in the country. Mr. Varnum is a professional services strategy leader with demonstrated expertise delivering payment model transformation and helping providers and payers to strategically adjust their operations.

Healthcare Delivery System

The U.S. Healthcare Delivery System
There is a rapid change within the healthcare system in the United States. The
changes that have occurred were made for the purpose of improving quality,
rewarding value and not volume, as well as integrating and coordinating the care
(Seshamani & Sen, 2018). As such, this paper will seek to put into consideration
current healthcare laws within the U.S. and the nurse’s role within this continuously
changing environment; the manner in which quality measures and pay for performance
affect patient outcomes. Furthermore, the emerging trends in the healthcare system,
professional nursing leadership, and management roles will be discussed.
The Emerging Health Care Laws and their Effects on Nursing Practice
One of the most crucial healthcare legislat ions that has been enacted in the United
States since the inception of Medicare and Medicaid in 1965 is the Affordable Care
Act (Obama, 2016). The ACA was enacted in 2010. Issues relat ing to affordability,
ease of access, and the care quality within the United States healthcare system were
some of the driving factors that formed the list of many t ime spanning challenges
that compiled the init iat ion of this legislat ion. Between 2010 to 2015 there was a
decrease in the number of uninsured cit izens in the U.S. by forty three percent as an
effect of the Affordable Care Act.
The payment systems in healthcare are undergoing some changes and the access to
care has also improved (Obama, 2016). The ACA promotes preventive healthcare
models that put emphasis on quality care, primary care, and the funding of community
health init iat ives (Lathrop and Hodnicki, 2014). Millions of previously uninsured cit izens
are also provided insurance coverage and also some healthcare areas that need
reforms so as to meet the needs of patients’ improved healthcare outcomes are
highly focused by the act. The act has an effect on nursing practice in several ways.
The first effect is that the act creates a high demand for healthcare professionals
that are sufficiently trained to provide healthcare services that are up to the acts’
standards. The second effect is that Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs)
who hold the Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) are required to be prepared so that
they can meet the increased needs through the provision of leadership skills in
community health centers. These professionals are also held accountable for direct ing
and advocating for future init iates as well as ser.

The document discusses collaborating with accountable care organizations (ACOs) to improve patient data. It notes that ACOs face challenges like implementing software, obtaining claims data, and translating data into actionable information. The typical ACO is risking $3.5 million and took out legal debt to finance their venture. Partnerships between providers and insurers are growing to better coordinate care and control costs through risk-based contracts and value-based relationships. Research collaborations can help ACOs understand factors influencing medication adherence and utilization to better manage patient populations.

Regulatory bodies oversee healthcare practitioners and institutions to enforce safety standards, improve quality of care, and ensure compliance with privacy and usage guidelines. Healthcare compliance professionals help organizations adhere to increasing government requirements around patient privacy, quality of care, fraud prevention, and staff protection. Healthcare policy and protocols can benefit patients, organizations, and the overall system by establishing guidelines, avoiding errors, and improving communication. Regulation is important in healthcare and health insurance to protect public health and welfare through various regulatory entities. Accreditation involves self-evaluation and external assessment to measure performance against standards in order to consistently improve quality of care. It has been shown to increase overall quality and reduce disparities through adherence to evidence-based procedures and a focus on access,
