The document outlines the CareMore model for population management, focusing on the significant percentage of Medicare beneficiaries who account for high healthcare spending due to chronic diseases. It emphasizes the importance of coordinated care through ‘extensivists’ and integrated technology for early intervention and efficient resource allocation. CareMore aims to proactively manage the highest-risk patients by utilizing predictive modeling and comprehensive support services to improve health outcomes and reduce costs.

The CareMore Experience

Chief Quality Officer

2. Fact Base: Medicare Only
2
• 15% of beneficiaries account for 75% of total cost of care
• Approximately 250 APK per year
• 20% of admissions are readmitted within 30 days of discharge
 Nearly ¾ of them could have been prevented
• Patients experience the following during hospitalization:
• 50% of acute admissions die or are readmitted within a year of discharge
Sources: Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Kaiser, Institute of Medicine, Center for Disease Control and Prevention
 > 50% have medication discrepancy  20% experience delirium
 30% have functional decline; only
50% return to prior baseline
 Decubitus ulcer (pressure sore) occurs
within hours of immobilization
 5% will have hospital acquired
infections
 Weight loss, nutritional decline, loss
of muscle strength

3. Health Spending & Chronic Disease
• 15% of the population spends 70% of the dollars
(Kaiser Permanente)
• 70% of all healthcare dollars are spent on chronic
diseases (Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality)
• Five chronic diseases make up the vast majority of this
category*
- Diabetes
- Congestive Heart Failure
- Coronary Artery Disease
- Asthma
- Depression
* Hypertension contributes to complications

4. Healthcare cost and quality problems are
concentrated….not widespread

5. Community physicians work in parallel with
CareMore Extensivists to provide a cohesive,
comprehensive solution

6. The CareMore model: an innovative healthcare approach that
proactively addresses the complex problems of aging
 “Extensivists” care for the
most ill and frailest patients
 NPs in neighborhood Care
Centers provide support
and care for the chronically
ill and frail
 Care delivery is coordinated
across all sites (PCPs,
hospitals, LTC, specialists)
 Proprietary resources and
programs are deployed
within minutes (not hours
or days)
 Efficient allocation of
clinical resources allows all
to practice at the highest
level of license
 Proprietary predictive
modeling and condition
identification allows us to
intervene early, often

7. CareMore’s operating principles and enabling capabilities
coalesce to form a highly effective model of care
Operating Principles
 Clinical Control - CareMore Extensivists determine when a patient requires proprietary services and
programs
 Speedy Deployment – Proprietary resources and programs must be available to adequately intervene and
be deployed within minutes (not hours or days)
 Efficient Allocation of Clinical Resources – Some types of physician labor is replaced with skilled, allied
health professionals such as NPs, MAs, therapists and dieticians
 Early, Proactive Intervention - Proprietary predictive modeling and condition identification resources allow
us intervene early and often to prevent acute episodes and sentinel events
 Intimacy of Contact – Management of complexity requires constant knowledge of the health condition

Present State
• CHF: Wireless Scales
• HTN: Wireless BP Cuffs
• Benefits: Patient Compliance, Data
Acquisition, Rapid Intervention
• Challenges: Patient Selection, False Alerts,
Data Volume, Segmented Care

11. CareMore Wireless Monitoring
Future State
• Integrated monitoring across disease states
• Selection of optimal patients
• Data management
• Provider alert management

12. CareMore – Sentrian COPD Program
• Identify-Monitor-Analyze-Act Model

• Use existing data to select optimal patients
and wireless monitoring options
• Integrate monitoring across chronic diseases
• Continuous risk stratification
• Create rules for alerts

13. 10,000 Member Initiative
• Goal = Proactively manage top 10% highest
risk CareMore members
• Intervention = Early identification and referral
to CareMore programs
• Approach = Develop inclusion/exclusion
criteria, generate list from EDW, apply risk
stratification criteria, prioritize outreach
