Today’s Agenda… The DATA shows we have a Healthcare spending problem

Collecting the DATA – Electronic Medical Records

Analyzing, Using and Sharing DATA

Hot Off The Presses - New Resources

The Problem

Soaring Cost of Healthcare • The US spends 16% of it’s GDP on healthcare –

nearly double all other countries – Schoolhouse Rock! Tyrannosaurus Debt

• New York spent nearly double the national average per recipient

• Not reflected in quality – ranked 50th in hospitalizations

• Unless spending is contained, the New York Medicaid Program will no longer be sustainable

• Fee for Service Credit Card

(Volume) – Medicaid and

traditional Medicare – Patient uses any

provider – Care not coordinated,

duplicative services

The Solution

• Managed Care Gift Card (Value)

– Costs are predictable – Services and

specialists are coordinated based on comprehensive plan of care

EMR 1.0

INTUITIVE • Predictive software

• Identify potential care issues

• Early detection of patient decline

• Suggest corrective actions based on accepted clinical guidelines

DYNAMIC • Assessments, Discharge

Tracking, Clinical Decision Support Software (CDSS), QI/QA, Tasking/Workflows, Interfaces

• Quarterly Updates

• Analyzing Data

• Dashboards

• Business Intelligence

STATIC • Census, MDS,

Careplans, Therapy, Billing

• Annual Updates

• Collecting Data

EMR Evolution

EMR 2.0 EMR 3.0

12

• Selecting an EMR is HARD-NO PERFECT EMR

• People make decisions, EMR is just a TOOL that helps

• EMR WILL NOT fix poor workflow/performers • ALL departments need to be included • On-going software maintenance and

training are CRITICAL to success • Workflow MUST be changed • Productivity is REDUCED when implementing

new features • EMR is a series of overlapping investments

whose benefit accumulates OVER TIME

8 Truths

of EMR

Truth about EMR

13

Increasing EMR Adoption

• Make list of things you wish your EMR could do

• Schedule an “optimization” or “tune-up” session with vendor

• Create plan to implement new features

• Review updates and release notes for new features/functions and get trained

14

Multiple Systems

Risk Factors when Clinical and Financial systems not integrated:

Information at Risk

Which system's data will you rely on? Which do you give to the OMIG, RAC, other auditors Discrepancies will need to be investigated

Demographic Financial Payers (to send out with patient), Authorizations (Case management) Census

Usually admission interface only, discharges have to be done independently in both systems

Contacts Emergency and ordering, notes by social workers, etc. Level of Care clinical determination, changes with condition of patient

MDS Missing, corrections, in-activations Diagnosis

Increasing importance on accuracy and maintenance as payment bundling coming soon

Analytics/Stastics (i.e., Hospital

Readmissions)

Which system's data will you rely on? Discrepancies will need to be investigated

15

Analyzing, Using and Sharing

DATA

Metrics important for SNF CMS, DOH and Payers monitoring: • Length of stay • Functional outcomes/improvement • Patient satisfaction • Admissions and readmission rates • Infection and fall rates • Five-star ratings • Survey and inspection results • EHR adoption and use

16

Analyzing Data

• Interpret – What does it mean • What reports are you getting, when

and why • This should be evolving

• Understand your outcomes • IDT approach to investigating • Consultant – Fresh eyes

• What value do you bring to a partnership

17

Using Data

• Use – Take action • Show staff what is working

(Celebrate the GOOD STUFF) • Identify focus areas for change

or improvement • i.e., Admissions, Clinical

Operations, Discharge Planning, Billing and Collections, etc.

• Make meaningful operational changes

18

Sharing Data

• Share – Communicate • Staff • Families • Partners (Hospitals, Providers) • Payers • Community • Be proactive!

19

Transition Issues Being Worked on by

DOH

Current Issues • Bedhold

• Plans required to cover Bedhold (page 13 of OHIP). If plan not paying, contact Vallencia Lloyd (Mainstream) or Mark Kissinger (MLTC)

• Vallencia Lloyd - vallencia.lloyd@health.ny.gov • Mark Kissinger – mark.kissinger@health.ny.gov

• Discharging • Homeless or no place to discharge to • SNF/Patient doesn’t agree with the Plan – Appeal Rights • Can current permanent residents be discharged via managed

care? – YES, but this isn’t new • NHTD, Money Follows the Person, etc.

21

Current Issues

• Plan needs to submit a demographic change which will make the address be the nursing home so notices are going to the right place.

• Guiding patients to plans you contract with – YES YOU CAN!

• Plans have restrictions on “marketing”, facilities aren’t marketing

22

• Medicaid Recertification • NYC issues - HRA providing

training

DOH Responds • Uniform Coding effective 1/1/2016 • DOH Working on new universal 3559 • Rosters

• Step 1 – make current NH Roster electronic via HCS • Step 2 – Build enhanced Roster to include Managed Care enrollees
