This document discusses moving healthcare payment models from fee-for-service to value-based systems. It argues that fee-for-service incentivizes volume over quality and has led to rising costs. Value-based models where providers accept risk could better align incentives with the "Triple Aim" of improving outcomes, reducing costs, and improving experience. This involves measuring quality comprehensively, focusing more on wellness and managing populations' clinical and financial risks. Pharmaceutical companies may also take on more risk through accountable treatment organizations managing medication therapy. The goal is true measurement of quality to solve for value in healthcare.
Soraya Ghebleh - Use of Financial Incentives PaperSoraya Ghebleh
This document discusses using financial incentives to influence clinical decision-making by healthcare providers. It notes that while incentives aim to improve quality and reduce costs, their effectiveness depends on many factors. The document examines key determinants like a provider's biology, behaviors, social environment and physical setting. It recommends incentives be used cautiously and only in defined settings, populations and problems where results can be clearly measured. Both small and large provider groups may respond to some incentives like those targeting directly measurable outcomes.

Many healthcare organizations seem to have been in perpetual pilot stage while experimenting with value-based payment models. Healthcare organizations are focusing their efforts in two primary areas: developing the skills to successfully manage at-risk contracts and, preparing for the considerable business and care delivery transformation necessary for true population health management. But what are the foundational competencies needed to take on risk? Healthcare organizations should consider the following 5 key areas: 1) at-risk contract management, 2) network management, 3) care management, 4) performance monitoring, and 5) improvement prioritization. The value of analytics in each of these competency areas is to prioritize limited resources on the highest impact area.
As the financial and demographic landscape changes, our healthcare services need to provide something significantly different to meet the needs of the Scottish population.

This document analyzes the true financial impact of hospital readmissions beyond just the CMS penalty. It finds that the penalty calculation disproportionately penalizes hospitals, and that even small reductions in readmissions can significantly reduce financial penalties. Hospitals should consider both the penalty amount and savings from reducing variable readmission costs when deciding whether to implement readmission reduction programs.

- The responses are broken down based on the GPs' level of involvement in commissioning, ranging from the consortium level to not being actively involved. GPs with higher levels of involvement tended to have more positive views
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) made changes to the 5-star rating system for nursing homes. The ratings are based on three measures: onsite inspections, quality measures, and staffing levels. CMS introduced strengthened quality measures to more accurately assess quality and standardize measures for post-acute care. Nearly a third of nursing homes will now receive lower scores under the toughened standards, with only 49% receiving the top two ratings of 4 or 5 stars compared to previously 80%. Changes taking effect in 2015 include factoring the use of anti-psychotic drugs and improved calculations for staffing levels.
Practical ways to use data for fundraisingFiona McPhee
This document discusses segmentation strategies for fundraising. It begins by acknowledging that understanding how supporters behave allows for more informed decisions. Segmentation helps fundraising programs increase results by tailoring asks to specific groups. Recency, frequency, and value (RFV) is commonly used to segment donors based on when they last gave, how often, and gift amounts. More recent, frequent, and higher-value donors typically respond best. Additional overlays like demographics, psychographics, and location can provide further insight. Proper segmentation allows targeting the right messages to the right donors through the right channels to maximize outcomes and return on investment.

Principles and Pracitces of Accountable Care TransformationHealth Catalyst
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
My 2013 PBMI presentation on my thoughts about using data and consumer engagement to shift the pharamcy industry to a industry focused on value as part of the overall health reform efforts.
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.
This document discusses the important role of agents and brokers in selecting health plans and ensuring successful employee enrollment. It notes that 90% of employers rely on brokers for health insurance assistance. While 90% of employers shopped for different plans, most made no change, showing the influence of brokers. The document also outlines strategies brokers can take to educate clients and employees about new types of plans like consumer-driven health plans. This includes becoming more strategic advisors focused on utilization reduction and engagement. Finally, it emphasizes that agents who become experts in consumer-driven health plans will be very successful in the market.

Harnessing Population Health Management to Promote Quality Improvement in Hea...Queena Deschene, RCFE
- Population health management focuses on keeping populations healthy and managing the health of those with chronic conditions through risk stratification, care coordination, and patient engagement.
- Advances in mobile technology, analytics, and cognitive computing like IBM's Watson are enabling more proactive, personalized, and predictive care that is centered around the individual patient.
- As payment models shift from fee-for-service to value-based care, and consumers take a more active role in their health, organizations need to harness data and analytics to improve outcomes and lower costs through population health management approaches.

Finding the Right Care for the Right Price, Cost and Quality (Geof Baker)Geof Baker
This document discusses the state of public reporting on healthcare costs and quality, lessons learned from transparency efforts, and viewpoints from various stakeholders. Key points include:
- Public reporting can help improve healthcare quality and reduce costs by promoting provider efficiency and informed consumer decisions.
- Major challenges include small sample sizes, risk adjustment difficulties, inconsistent ratings, and lack of provider engagement.
- Next generation transparency tools should provide integrated, user-friendly searches; comparative cost/quality data; and actionable information to guide treatment decisions.
- Stakeholders like employers, consumers, and physicians express needs around accessible cost/quality data and opportunities for improvement.
This document discusses strategies for healthcare practices to improve financial viability through increased transparency and improved front-end collection methods. It recommends defining costs and billing upfront to set clear patient expectations. Practices should invest in tools to check insurance benefits and eligibility in real-time. Staff should be trained to educate patients on their financial responsibilities. Providing cost transparency builds trust with patients and increases referrals through positive word-of-mouth. Overall, transparency can lead to higher profitability through reduced bad debt and improved revenue cycle management.
Disruptive Transformation and the Accountable Care OrganizationDarwin Health
Presentation by John Marchica (Darwin Health) and Bob Roth (Cypress HomeCare Solutions) at the Home Care Association of America Leadership Conference, Sep. 30, 2016.
Value-based healthcare aims to increase quality and decrease costs by tying reimbursements to performance outcomes rather than fee-for-service payments. A survey of healthcare CEOs found that most believe value-based models should dominate over fee-for-service and can increase revenues and profit margins. However, some CEOs are concerned it may decrease revenues or margins. Measuring patient satisfaction, health outcomes, and costs will be important for value-based reimbursement. Integrating and analyzing data on populations, processes, and responses can help create high-value healthcare delivery systems.
Value-Based Purchasing and the Role of Home Care TechnologyAlayaCare
While shifting financial models is a major challenge facing healthcare, we can safely assume where that shift is heading. As it stands, there continues to be a paucity of good evidence as to how to run an effective Value-Based Purchasing (VBP) program, and definitive metrics on how it can lead to better outcomes. Thus, this shift is underway filled with far more expectations than answers.
With this guide will you learn how your home care agency can prepare, adapt and thrive in a value-based purchasing landscape with the help of modern home care technology.
The State of Consumer Healthcare: A Study of Patient ExperienceProphet
Providers must deliver a holistic patient experience that extends beyond clinical care interactions. The current state of the patient experience is poor and getting worse according to surveys, with 81% of consumers unsatisfied. While providers see patient experience as important, they overestimate their performance by over 20 percentage points compared to consumer ratings. Improving patient experience can drive operational efficiencies and reduce costs while helping organizations achieve their missions. Providers must take a holistic view of patient experience, empower their staff, and thoughtfully invest in technologies to enhance the experience.

It then describes five common psychographic patient segments - Self Achievers, Balance Seekers, Priority Jugglers, Direction Takers, and Willful Endurers - and how their characteristics relate to likelihood of paying bills and preferred payment methods. The rest of the document discusses how a digital platform can implement psychographic segmentation to personalize patient financial communications and improve collections rates.
The Link between Provider Payment and Quality of Maternal Health Services: A ...HFG Project
This paper explores a growing trend among health care payers to combine a quality measurement initiative with a redesigned provider payment system. It presents a conceptual framework of how provider payment links with quality of maternal health services and analyzes real provider payment systems in low- and middle-income countries where payment is linked with quality measurement. It discusses how provider payment systems have been redesigned to improve quality, how quality is defined and measured, whether provider behavior changed in response to the payment mechanism, and reasons for why the payment mechanism did or did not work to achieve improved quality of maternal health services at the point of care.

It proposes a solution to make care coordination and quality accountability feel similar to a traditional HMO model by: 1) Tracking provider referrals and specialty visits, 2) Guiding provider selection based on quality/efficiency, 3) Incentivizing referring providers, 4) Allowing real-time patient tracking, and 5) Reinforcing quality at every patient encounter. The goal is to create a "virtual patient-centered medical home" model to manage ACO patients.
Integration of MTM in Primary Care 28FEB12Wayne Pan
This document discusses integrating medication therapy management in primary care settings and incorporating community pharmacists in a patient-centered medical home. It provides details on how pharmacists can be involved in medication reconciliation after a patient is discharged from the hospital to improve care coordination and patient outcomes. The document also addresses how patients would benefit from these services and ensuring proper alignment across the healthcare system to support the patient experience.
Enhancing patient care through better dataWayne Pan
This document discusses enhancing patient care through better data and care coordination. It describes how the Santa Clara County IPA Medical Group implemented a common web-based communication platform to facilitate care coordination across providers and settings. The platform allows sharing of patient data, embedding of quality reminders into workflows, and patient access to their own information. Through coordinated efforts of hospitalists, case managers, and utilization review staff using this platform, the group aims to improve the patient journey from hospital to post-acute care to primary care follow up.

The document discusses bringing patient-centered health care to patients by integrating retail pharmacy. It describes SCCIPA's journey to address readmissions by improving care coordination and transitions through medication reconciliation and physician follow-up post-discharge. It outlines SCCIPA's pilot project to leverage AccessExpress and retail pharmacies to help patients understand their medications after leaving the hospital.
This document summarizes a presentation given by Dr. Wayne Pan of the Santa Clara County IPA (SCCIPA) on 5 "dangerous ideas" for improving healthcare quality. The ideas are: 1) Ask how health plans can help providers rather than what providers can do for plans, 2) Require providers to use a common EHR platform for communication, 3) Use the EHR platform to provide performance feedback, 4) Implement physician bonus programs tied to quality targets, and 5) Focus on coordinating care for the whole patient through reminders, checklists and follow-ups. The document provides examples of how SCCIPA has implemented these ideas, such as engaging office staff, using data to drive feedback, and linking

THE SPECIAL SENCES- Unlocking the Wonders of the Special Senses: Sight, Sound...Nursing Mastery
Title: Unlocking the Wonders of the Special Senses: Sight, Sound, Smell, Taste, and Balance
Introduction:
Welcome to our captivating SlideShare presentation on the Special Senses, where we delve into the extraordinary capabilities that allow us to perceive and interact with the world around us. Join us on a sensory journey as we explore the intricate structures and functions of sight, sound, smell, taste, and balance.
The special senses are our primary means of experiencing and interpreting the environment, each sense providing unique and vital information that shapes our perceptions and responses. These senses are facilitated by highly specialized organs and complex neural pathways, enabling us to see a vibrant sunset, hear a symphony, savor a delicious meal, detect a fragrant flower, and maintain our equilibrium.
In this presentation, we will:
Visual System (Sight): Dive into the anatomy and physiology of the eye, exploring how light is converted into electrical signals and processed by the brain to create the images we see. Understand common vision disorders and the mechanisms behind corrective measures like glasses and contact lenses.
Auditory System (Hearing): Examine the structures of the ear and the process of sound wave transduction, from the outer ear to the cochlea and auditory nerve. Learn about hearing loss, auditory processing, and the advances in hearing aid technology.
Olfactory System (Smell): Discover the olfactory receptors and pathways that enable the detection of thousands of different odors. Explore the connection between smell and memory and the impact of olfactory disorders on quality of life.
Gustatory System (Taste): Uncover the taste buds and the five basic tastes – sweet, salty, sour, bitter, and umami. Delve into the interplay between taste and smell and the factors influencing our food preferences and eating habits.
Vestibular System (Balance): Investigate the inner ear structures responsible for balance and spatial orientation. Understand how the vestibular system helps maintain posture and coordination, and explore common vestibular disorders and their effects.
Through engaging visuals, interactive diagrams, and insightful explanations, we aim to illuminate the complexities of the special senses and their profound impact on our daily lives. Whether you're a student, educator, or simply curious about how we perceive the world, this presentation will provide valuable insights into the remarkable capabilities of the human sensory system.
Join us as we unlock the wonders of the special senses and gain a deeper appreciation for the intricate mechanisms that allow us to experience the richness of our environment.

Taking Stock Of Pay-For-Performance: A Candid
Assessment From The Front Lines
Data from the nation’s largest P4P program show some positive
changes but no breakthrough improvements in the quality of care.
by Cheryl L. Damberg, Kristiana Raube, Stephanie S. Teleki, and Erin
dela Cruz
ABSTRACT: Pay-for-performance (P4P) has been widely adopted, but it remains unclear
how providers are responding and whether results are meeting expectations. Physician or-
ganizations involved in the California Integrated Healthcare Association’s (IHA) P4P pro-
gram reported having increased physician-level performance feedback and accountability,
speeded up information technology adoption, and sharpened their organizational focus
and support for improvement in response to P4P; however, after three years of investment,
these changes had not translated into breakthrough quality improvements. Continued mon-
itoring is required to determine whether early investments made by physician organizations
provide a basis for greater improvements in the future. [Health Affairs 28, no. 2 (2009):
517–525; 10.1377/hlthaff.28.2.517]
P
ay-for-performance is being de-
ployed at all levels of the U.S. health
system to stimulate improvements in
health care, little is known about what behav-
ior changes have occurred as a result of P4P
and whether the changes made by providers
pay for performance bonus programs barely scratched the
surface with respect to either improving quality or reducing costs

154. moving from
maximizing
the pill
to
maximizing
total
benefit
To summarize, big pharma needs to rethink its
role and broaden it conception of innovation to
products beyond the chemical compound to adapt
to the changing needs of their customers. In other
words, companies should move from maximizing the
pill to maximizing total benefit, in which the chemi-
cal compound is one contributor. Those innovations,
which we call medicines as a service, should address
the true needs of patients and payers as the custom-
ers and support sustainable commercial models. It
should be kept in mind, however, that the attrac-
tiveness of such models will differ across companies
because of differences in product line-up, geographic
reach, internal capabilities, and cost structure.
Importantly, companies will have to have the trust
of stakeholders in a given market and the ability to
engage them effectively in order to deploy service-
based models successfully.
155. accountable
treatment
organization
(ATO)
An advanced risk-sharing model could offer
overall medication management for entire patient
populations on a per-patient fee basis. The fee would
reflect expected drug treatment cost based on patient
characteristics, as well as expected cost of care for
defined exacerbations, such as hospital admissions for
uncontrolled hypertension. Thus, the pharmaceuti-
cal company would assume financial risk and can
reap rewards, if it manages drug therapy for a patient
well, and lose money otherwise. This entity, which
could be called an Accountable Treatment Organiza-
tion (ATO) could partner directly with an ACO to
agree on a formulary and treatment algorithms, and
thus cut out intermediaries, such as distributors and
PBMs. The attraction of this particular model is that
it aligns the commercial interest of manufacturers
in increasing sales with the policy goal of optimiz-
ing patient care.
156. a
biosimilar
strategy?
It also encourages the rational use of later-
generation originator (e.g., innovator) drugs with
improved tolerability and potency for patients
with conditions that cannot be controlled with
generics or who experience side effects because
companies would be able to benefit from sales of
generics (e.g., biosimilars) as well. Part of rational
use could be genetic testing to identify patients
whose molecular or genetic disease dependencies
makes them likely to benefit from a given drug
or who cannot tolerate a given drug.
