Traditional Health Worker Transformation Update Carla Jones Summary
Three providers are now contracted with and reimbursed by IHN-CCO for Traditional Health Workers(THWs); Benton Community Health Centers, Communities Helping Addicts Negotiate Change Effectively(CHANCE), and Family Tree Relief Nursery.
Reimbursements include:o Patient-Centered Primary Care Home (PCPCH) subcapitation & Case Management payments to
support non-traditional services for members, including care coordination.o Palliative care case rate payments to provide relief for patients & families with a serious condition.o Psychiatric subcapitation to support Mental Health Technical Specialists, case management, and
care coordination services.Alternative Payment Methodology (APM) & IHN-CCO Engagement
Per Member Per Month (PMPM) capitation for members enrolled in the programs.
Performance Metric agreement to determine program continuance in subsequent contracting years.
The CCO has quarterly meetings with contracted providers to discuss member capacity, financial, and qualitymetric reports.
IHN CCO’s Report Card
IHN-CCO will spend $1.4 million on THWs and non-traditional case management and care coordinationservices in 2017.
IHN-CCO ranked as the #2 CCO out of all Oregon CCOs in spending on Other Member Services (non-traditional) in 2016.
Discussion
IHN-CCO Emergency Department (ED) data is useful for the organizations that work as THWs in order to goback and reach out to the members.
o The THW metric reports do not show a positive impact on ED utilization so far, but targetedoutreach may help with this metric.
Addressing funding issues:o The state has some studies that may focus the work in this area.o The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) Waiver has areas concentrating on health-related
services that may contribute to moving THW work forward with a focus on Social Determinants ofHealth (SDoH).
o Working on a way to get us the information on working with children who are high-needs or high-risk, which would force the CCO to target those areas and the kind of provider the CCO would needto hire to work with this target area.

2017 contracts are final, but at the end of the year there will be evaluations to determine how to moveforward with provider contracting.
There are no stand-alone navigation service contracts in Lincoln County.
Community Health Worker Close-Out Kelly Volkmann Summary
The Community Health Worker (CHW) Pilot integrated CHWs and Health Navigators (HNs) within PCPCHs.The CHWs helped create barrier-free access to healthcare, a closed loop referral system for accessingcommunity resources, and taught health care and lifestyle classes.
Key Findings
Benton County Health Services (BCHS) successfully hired, trained, and integrated CHWs and HNs into theirnew clinical care teams.
Touch data shows increasing use of CHW services across all sites; also showed which services CHW mostconnected to.
Important to have a project champion as well as a project lead, ideally clinic manager or supervisor.Successes
Processes and protocols for successful replication were developed and documented.
Developing trusting relationships with other PCPCH agencies and bridging the agency communication gapthat previously existed.
Qualitative evaluation of providers and clients yielded very positive responses that relate directly to theTriple Aim.
Challenges
The pilot is not easily scalable.o It is time and resource intensive to train a health navigator to work effectively and safely as part of a
clinical care team.o This is being partially addressed by the new THW Training Hub pilot that is currently getting started.
The success of this pilot might make it seem like it is easy to insert a CHW/HN into a primary care team, butthere is a huge need for support and technical assistance to the care team as they decide how they want touse their CHW/HN and they get used to having an HN as part of the team.
The CHW/HNs are very carefully trained and are not released to work in an outside agency until they havedemonstrated that they are ready to work independently in their new role.
Sustainability
Currently, the CHW/HNs are being contracted with IHN-CCO through a PMPM payment.
BCHS is working with IHN-CCO to determine if this is the best way to do this and if so, what is the bestmethodology going forward.
Discussion
While the effect of opening up provider time is difficult to measure, it can be shown through the positiveimpact on the rest of the clinic’s IHN-CCO member panel.
Certified Medical Assistant Scribes Close-Out Scott Balzer Summary
This pilot aims to increase provider efficiency and improve provider compliance with regulatoryrequirements for documenting quality of care by training Medical Assistant staff to scribe office visitsallowing the physician to focus on the care of the patient.
Key Findings
Lack of qualified Certified Medical Assistants (CMAs).
No standardized scribe training.
Cost can be offset solely by increased productivity.
Increased provider satisfaction and reduced burnout.Successes
Increased access, more provider time, reduced human resources, offsetting costs, and improved patientsatisfaction.
DST 7/27/17
3 of 24
Challenges
Sustained productivity and scribe applicants in other communities.
More robust study of quality improvement with the scribe.Sustainability
The scribe pilot will be sustained moving forward pending sustaining increased productivity and reduction ofcosts.
Provider/staff satisfaction and reduced burnout remains at an all-time high within the clinic.Discussion
Experience in CMA Scribe retention and turnover; it can take a month for a provider to get used to aparticular scribe.
The CMAs chart but the provider is still responsible for what is written and must have oversight for all chartnotes and transcription.
Pilot Proposal Presentation Process Decisions
Yes, the committee wants to see proposal presentations and interact with the proposers.o The meetings on August 10, 2017 and August 24, 2017 will be extended by 30 minutes to allow for
more time for the five proposal presentations.
The proposer will complete the entire Pilot Proposal Presentation template, which is due July 24, 2017.
The proposer will be requested to focus on Pilot Summary and Goals for a 5 minute presentation.o Following that, the DST will have questions with a focus on collaboration, state metrics, self-
sustaining, reduction of costs, and improving access.To Do
The Transformation Department will research electronic voting in order to improve the process regardingconfidentiality and avoid the groupthink mentality.
o Poll Everywhere and voting clickers will be researched.

Certified Medical Assistant (CMA) Scribes Samaritan Family Medicine Residency Clinic
Dates: 10/1/2015 – 3/31/2017 Pilot Funds Used $270,233
CMA Scribes increases provider efficiency and improves provider compliance with regulatory requirements for documenting quality of care by training Medical Assistant staff to scribe office visits allowing the physician to focus on the care of the patient. A new staff classification (CMA 2.0) was to be created reflecting the additional skills and training required to fulfill the duties of this new role that combines traditional CMA duties with documentation of the office visit and assuring appropriate medical home services.
Key Findings: 1. Using certified medical assistants as scribes was too difficult to implement. The lack of staffing and turnover of CMAs within our community does not
create a sustainable situation. 2. Implementing scribes can have a direct impact on provider job satisfaction and efficiency, but have little impact on staff workflow. 3. The cost of scribes can be offset with a small increase in productivity. The increase in provider efficiency allows for additional appointments per clinic day.
The increase in available appointments to patients increases access.
Additional Information: 1. The scribe pilot will be sustained moving forward pending sustaining increased productivity and reduction of costs. 2. The greatest outcome of this pilot was increased provider satisfaction. 3. The impact of scribes is expected to continue. The scribe and CMA have proven to be the most two influential positions for a provider to rely on to reduce
their workload throughout the day.
Community Health Worker Benton County Health Services
Dates: 4/1/2016 – 12/31/2016 Pilot Funds Used $377,245
The pilot provides qualified Community Health Workers (CHWs) and Health Navigators (HNs) as part of the IHN-CCO members care team. CHWs/HNs provide assistance that is culturally and linguistically appropriate to members who need to access services and participate in processes affecting their care. The pilot uses CHWs/HNs who share ethnicity, language, socioeconomic status, and/or life experiences with the residents of the communities they serve to provide a range of services. These services include health education and information, health care system navigation, care coordination, limited case management, outreach, chronic disease self-management education and support, referrals to social service and community resources.
Key Findings: 1. Benton County Health Services (BCHS) successfully hired, trained, and integrated CHWs/HNs into their new clinical care teams. 2. Touch data shows increasing use of CHW services across all sites; also showed which services CHW/HN most connected to. 3. Important to have a project champion, provider or nurse, as well as a project lead, ideally clinic manager or supervisor. 4. Comprehensive list of documents that can be shared with other agencies or CCOs and that can act as a roadmap to integrating CHWs/HNs into a clinical
setting.
Additional Information: Currently, the CHW/HNs are being contracted with IHN-CCO through a PMPM payment. BCHS is working with IHN-CCO to determine if this is the best way to do this and if so, what is the best methodology going forward.

Samaritan Health Plans 2017 Legislative Session Summary
July 12, 2017
Highlights: Oregon’s health system moved in a very different direction this session in contrast to what is happening in Washington DC. The Oregon Health Plan and Medicaid program was fully funded to continue current coverage and benefits without increasing requirements for recipients. A women’s reproductive health law was passed and funded that outlines a broad range of services to be provided without cost share, it expanded access to services for women eligible for Medicaid except for immigration status, extends postpartum care for 60 days for women in the CAWEM program, and requires coverage for abortion in nearly all health plans. Cover All Kids legislation and funding will provide medical assistance to children up to 300% federal poverty level who reside in Oregon, it is estimated that over 14,000 children would receive medical assistance in 2017-2019. A reinsurance pool was created to help offset high cost insurance claims and stabilize the individual market. A number of bills were passed focusing on improvements in the mental health system, including some additional funding to the community-based service system.
Missed Opportunities: The legislature was not able to come to agreement controlling the growth of prescription drug costs or increasing the transparency around pricing. This area continues to be one of the biggest drivers to cost in the health care system. Creating policy direction for the future of CCOs was left on the table; the five year contract cycle for CCOs is expiring in 2019 without new legislative direction. There was no movement toward improving the OHP eligibility, enrollment, and re-enrollment process or increasing the populations enrolling in CCOs. There continues to be between 15% and 18% of people eligible for OHP who are not enrolled in a CCO.
Budget: The OHA budget (HB 5026) and revenue (HB 2391B) bills were the first big budget pieces to come together for the legislature and the Governor. The package represents shared sacrifice across the health care sector, both cost containment and new revenue, to fill the $934 million OHP budget gap. The bills include hospital and insurer taxes as well as reductions in CCO rate of growth. Key components include; an insurer premium tax of 1.5%, additional tax of .7% on net revenue of large hospitals, and reductions in the rate of growth in the CCO global budget from 3.4% to 2.58%. For IHN-CCO, the provider tax would be a pass through matching scenario that has been used in the past. These and other actions will maintain the current OHP coverage for eligibility and benefits.
DST 7/27/17
12 of 24
The OHA has reductions in their fee for service budget, including the removal of $5 million to encourage the movement of around 60,000 individuals to CCO enrollment. There are new Key Performance Measures to track the processing time for eligibility determinations and the percentage of OHP members enrolled in CCOs. There are also two budget notes to conduct a rate review of the mental health residential rates and the other is to provide a report to the Legislature by December 2018 on each regions governance model and single plan of shared accountability for behavioral health system.
A government cost control bill (SB 1067) was passed that focuses on government efficiencies. Health system impacts include PEBB and OEBB to adopt cost growth limits of 3.4% per year and limits hospital reimbursement of in-network hospitals at 200% and out-of-network at 185% of Medicare for most hospitals. This late session bill addresses the state employee health insurance cost growth but does it on the backs of other payers, providers, and hospitals.

Final Report and Evaluation Pilot Dental Medical Integration (DMI) for Diabetes
Use the following format to provide a summary of your project. Please include:
A. Amount of pilot funds used. Were additional funds used from other sources? If so, how much?$48,590.51 was spent of pilot funds (42.4% of pilot funds). Pilot activities proved to be less costly thananticipated resulting in a remaining budget of $66,139.49.
• Dental Program Clinical Coordinator: The bulk of funds supported the position of Dental ProgramClinical Coordinator to aid in pilot coordination, data collection and analysis, as well as otherInterCommunity Health Network (IHN) CCO assigned duties. Pilot funds were only allocated for timespent working on pilot designated activities. Samaritan Health Plans and the dental plans found merit inthis position and together contracted funding to sustain this position full time.
• Oral Hygiene kits: The oral hygiene kits included any purchase of a denture care kit, brushing aids, andor electric toothbrush.
• Care Coordination: The cost of care coordination reimbursement for the medical clinics was based onthe fee for service model. The medical clinics received $10 for every dental screening conducted on IHNdiabetic members. The final amount distributed totaled $6,750.
• Direct Mailers: The direct mail piece went out to new members every month as a reminder to our targetpopulation that they had dental benefits and included their dental plan phone number needed to calland schedule an appointment. In August 2016, a gift card incentive was incorporated with the directmailer. Once a quarter the incentive mailers were sent to every eligible member who had not seen theirdentist and every new member each month.
• Lunch and Learns: With each new clinic and each new year a lunch and learn was conducted. A dentalprofessional would conduct a brief 30 minute overview of the links between oral health and systemichealth, what the screening entailed, and the monthly data that would be collected.
• Patient Education: Patient education in the form of clinic posters and educational brochures wereordered to engage members in their coverage of dental benefits.

Many of the medical and dental professionals that engaged agreed that the most important outcome that emerged from the pilot was providing oral health patient education, dental resources, and cross-system coordination within a medical office setting. A medical clinic participant stated, “Being able to educate patients about their dental coverage and resources available was the most important outcome of the pilot. Being able to answer questions and give the name and phone number of who to contact was a valuable tool in educating our patients.” Year two of the pilot brought its own success with relief for Edentulous (no teeth) members. In year two, medical clinics were able to better address these members specific needs with a denture care kit (denture brush, denture case, denture adhesive paste, and education) as well as offering an overview of what the Oregon Health Plan (OHP) covered for denture care. In July of 2016, OHP expanded their denture coverage from no denture replacements to one denture replacement every ten years. With the DMI pilot we found it was not only important to educate medical providers on healthy dental habits but also to have open communication between provider and IHN to provide up-to-date dental benefit coverage to ensure consistent communication for IHN members across the region. Along with the importance of educating the patient, soon came the importance of educating the medical provider and staff. With the dental screening being conducted by the medical staff, oral health questions arose which many medical staff did not feel they had the training to answer. At the beginning of the pilot each clinic received a brief dental training from an oral health professional. As the pilot continued into its second year and additional training was requested, it became apparent that continued oral health education for medical providers and staff was essential in breaking down the siloes between medical and dental and moving towards truly integrated care.
D. How has your Pilot contributed to Triple Aim of improving health; increasing quality, reliability, and availability of care; and lowering or containing the cost of care? Lower Cost – According to our cost analysis the variability over the years means that we cannot determine if the pilot participants PMPM costs are rising at a lower rate than non-pilot participants. It is recommended that this data be re-analyzed with 2017 and possibly 2018 claims data to see if it shows a rate of growth difference between non-pilot and pilot participants. Better Access – Our data shows that out of the medical patients who needed a dental referral, 55% made a connection with their PCD post medical intervention. Out of the dental patients who needed a medical referral, 89% made a connection with their PCP post dental intervention. Quality Care – Our pilot measures show successful implementation of oral health screenings and dental referrals by medical office staff. Provider Burnout – Although no measureable tracking was done to collect data for this aim, it is worth mentioning that only 1 out of our 8 medical clinics implemented workflow that required the PCP to conduct the dental screenings. The other 7 clinics implemented workflow that encouraged medical assistants and care coordinators to expand their duties to include oral health screenings and dental referrals. This workflow results in quality care growth without adding more burdens to the PCP. “The dental pilot contributed to the Triple Aim care by helping us identify patients that we needed to educate on resources and options available to them to get them the dental care that they needed. Often times we were seeing the same patients go to the Emergency Dept. to get dental care when what they really needed was to see their dental provider and to be educated on getting proper dental care. By identifying and educating these individuals from the PCP office, we were able to help improve their health, decrease unnecessary ED visits and help improve the quality of their lives.” – Medical clinic pilot participant.
E. What has been most successful? According to the measurable data the dental screening compliance proved to be the most successful activity of the pilot. The dental screening was a two question interface between member and medical staff within a participating pilot clinic. With eight medical clinics participating there were multiple approaches to conducting each screening. The workflows that proved to be most effective include the use of multifaceted phases and interdepartmental staff communication. This approach had limited disturbance of physician time with patients.

However, the success did not stop at the screening. The medical clinics were supplied with a dental contact list and were able to refer members to the appropriate resource achieving a referral rate of ninety-four percent and exceeding the target rate by nineteen percentage points. Once enough dental claims data was collected, the medical clinics were supplied with a correspondence document that indicated which of their medical patients had a dental visit in the last twelve months. This allowed for even more accuracy and attention to be focused on the patients oral health within a medical office setting. Another success that occurred was within the dental clinics as they achieved a one-hundred percent of members who needed a medical referral from a dental office received one from their dental provider and staff. This was due in part to open communication between the dental plans and the IHN dental coordinators. Leaving open communication between these entities allows for accurate placement and better quality of overall care. The final success was conducted by the Lincoln County participants, implementing DMI screenings, referrals, and data collection within 30 days.
F. Were there barriers to success? How were they addressed? The initial barrier was medical clinic involvement. The idea of dental medical integration was fairly new within our region two years ago and it was often difficult to engage the right clinic participant. The pilot start date was February 1st, 2015 and the first monthly report wasn’t submitted until April of 2015 with spotty reporting until July 2015. To address this barrier dental health education was given as well as hiring a dental program clinical coordinator to coordinate the dental medical integration pilot. This allowed for a continued bi-monthly contact between IHN and the medical clinics allowing for regular data reminders, open communication for questions or difficult care coordination, and overall guidance of implementation. With this open communication the medical clinics were able to voice the concern of another barrier to screening. Many medical clinics participate in other pilots, Quality Improvement Projects, state metrics, as well as Performance Improvement Projects and receive payment for the extra work being done. The pilot budget allowed for payment of care coordination within the medical clinic setting furthering the appeal to implement the much needed service of a dental screening and care coordination. A member’s unwillingness to engage with their dental provider was also presented as a barrier. Patient education was provided, however during the post pilot review it became clear that the education provided had little effect on member’s interest due to the language layout of the brochures. A barrier that quickly emerged was the trial of a dental warm handoff from the medical staff. The original thought for connection between medical staff and dental staff was to engage with a personal phone call from the medical office to the dental plan/clinic to aid in scheduling the patient while they were in the medical office. The main occurrence that recurrently presented was long wait times when calling the dental plans as well as the dental clinics. With most of the medical offices reporting a wait time of an hour the warm handoff requirement was changed to a dental referral. The success of a dental warm handoff occurred within the medical clinics that house an Expanded Practice Co-Located Dental Hygienist (EPDH). All IHN members can receive dental assessments regardless of dental plan assignment by these EPDH’s. However, the referral to the assigned dental home still needed to occur by the medical staff. The co-located EPDH’s were NOT an outcome of the pilot; however it further encouraged provider engagement of dental medical integration. Another barrier emerged in regards to electronic health records (EHR). The medical clinics found it to be difficult and labor intensive to conduct the dental screening. With no flags or reminders within a member’s EHR and no way to officially document the screening results, it left the medical staff to track everything manually. With cross-facility communication the participants were able to share best practices and workflow effectiveness in regards to flagging schedules to ensure that staff knew which members needed a dental screening. An Epic flowsheet was also developed that when accessed showed the screening questions and indicated if a referral was needed after the screening. Another barrier that presented throughout the life of the pilot that deserves further discussion is the closed loop referral. All of the medical clinics voiced concern that after a referral was made there was no correspondent communication to inform the medical provider if that member was seen, by whom, and what for. A correspondence log was trialed for a brief period of the second year, however due to limited employee resources the logs were often returned months later than expected and this pathway did not allow for direct
DST 7/27/17

communication between the primary care provider and the primary care dentist. This goal was never achieved during the life of the pilot leaving a major barrier to the quality of care for the IHN population.
G. How readily would the pilot be scalable or replicable? Describe cautions and considerations when consideringscaling, or replicating the Pilot. (i.e. Success dependent on personality/skills set, or activities appropriateunder certain conditions like size, target population, etc.)Many aspects and activities of the pilot can easily be implemented system and/or region wide. For example,many of the medical clinics have voiced the importance of the dental screenings and expanding this service to allof their IHN-CCO patients. The concept of dental practices within a medical clinic, what was once foreign andintimidating, has now proved its relevance and its implementation within these medical clinics has naturallyexpanded to aim for a higher goal of entire IHN-CCO clinic population inclusion. However, the barrier of a closedloop referral, universal EHR tracking, appropriate patient and provider education, and employee turnover aremain concerns that when not addressed makes navigating through systems and resources difficult for memberand provider engagement.With the continued efforts of the dental integration workgroup some of these barriers will be addressed.However to ensure the quality of care is not overlooked with dental medical integration a higher level discussionneeds to occur in regards to continued oral health education for medical providers as well as a solution for aclosed loop dental referral and easy communication between primary care providers and primary care dentalproviders.
H. Will the activities and their impact continue? If not, why?Three out of the eight medical clinics have co-located EPDHs and will continue to screen and refer theirmembers to this onsite service.Half of the medical clinics have verbally expressed they will continue dental screenings within their workflow
and expand to include populations other than IHN-CCO diabetics.Many medical clinics explained an added benefit of the pilot was being able to offer an oral hygiene kit afterstressing to the member the importance of oral health and the connection to overall health and wellness. Thebudget allowed for a bulk purchase of oral hygiene kits to help supply the medical clinics with another year oforal hygiene kits. However, supplies will run out and the dental integration workgroup are looking for otherfunding avenues to continue this benefit in the future.All dental plans have expressed they will continue screenings and referrals as needed and continue in the effortof dental medical integration.The direct mail piece activity missed the target of a 50 percent response rate. However, the response rateexceeded the national average by 1.3 percentage point. The dental integration workgroup will further analyzecollected pilot data around this activity and decide at a future date if these efforts were effective.The Dental Integration Workgroup will continue to hold quarterly meetings as well as continue the collaborativeefforts to expand dental medical integration within our region while using the evidence and guidance we havecollected from this pilot.
“This pilot has really been able to help us identify patients that need outreach so we can educate them on theirdental care and help get them connected to their providers! It is a fantastic project and I am so thankful that ourclinic has been able to participate! Making this sustainable so that it can continue and keep moving forwardwould be a great step in the right direction towards holistic care.” – Medical pilot participant.
