Patient-Centered Medical Home:A Critical Opportunity
Patient-centered medical home presents a critical opportunity
To improve current and future performance in many areas: Quality of care and service Efficiency, effectiveness and cost of health care services Informed choice and access to health care services Patient / member satisfaction with their overall HAP experience
HAP has the experience and tools to capitalize on this opportunity: Primary care physicians with substantial experience with the concepts and
reality of the patient-centered medical home HAP programs and tools, including: physician reports, quality improvement,
“reward for quality” physician incentive program, web tools like Health Risk appraisal and Member Health Manager
HAP has leaders and physician networks with: Demonstrated interest in the medical home Ability to make substantial and rapid progress in its implementation Innovations in practice redesign underway

The Value of Primary Care
Evidence suggests that access to high quality primary care results in lower overall health care costs and lower use of higher cost and lower value services, i.e., specialists, ER, inpatient care– Adults with a primary care physician rather than a specialist as their
personal physician had a 33% lower annual adjusted cost of care and 19% lower adjusted mortality
– Increased primary care to population ratios are associated with reduced hospitalization rates for sixteen ambulatory sensitive conditions
– Health care costs are higher in regions with higher ratios of specialists to generalists
Primary care currently operates on a transaction-based model and reimbursement does not recognize the value of (and specifically reimburse for) individualized, comprehensive care management– There is a significant reduction in physicians in primary care specialties
with associated poor access to primary care for patients and escalation of care into higher cost settings

Patient Centered Medical Home
The Patient Centered Medical Home is an approach to providing comprehensive primary care for adults and children that emphasizes personal physician, physician directed practice, “whole Person” care orientation, coordinated care, quality and safety, enhanced care access, and full value payment
Recommended new payment model to consider:– Bundled, severity-adjusted care coordination fee paid on a monthly
basis for the following:• The physician and non-physician clinical staff work required to manage
care outside a face-to-face visit• The health information technology and system redesign incurred by the
practice– Combined with per visit FFS payment and– Performance based bonus payments based on evidence based
measures of care

Patient-Centered Medical Home
Element Explanation Comments
Personal physician Ongoing relationship with a personal physician: first contact, continuous
and comprehensive care
Members are assigned to a PCP at all times
Physician directed medical
practice
Personal physician leads team at practice level that collectively take
responsibility for ongoing care of patients
Team effectiveness is evident in higher / improved performance.
Whole person orientation Providing or arranging all the patient’s health care needs – preventive,
acute, chronic – at all stages of life
PCP accountability for quality and efficient care
Coordinated / integrated
care
Across all providers and settings and the patient’s community. Facilitated
by registries, IT, health info exchange to assure that patients get the
indicated care when and where they need it in a culturally and
linguistically appropriate manner
Documented use of registries and / or HAP MHM.Clinician/group CAHPS
Quality and safety Are hallmarks of the patient-centered medical homeHEDIS quality & safety measures exceed threshold
Enhanced access to care Open scheduling, expanded hours and new options for communications
between patients, personal physician and office staff
Office hours beyond 9-5 M-FNon-traditional hours & weekendsOpen access schedulingE-visits
Payment recognizes
added value to patients
More rational (and higher) payment for primary careFee schedule, pay-for-performance, public recognition
National Consensus Principles – AAAFP, AAP, ACP, AOA (March 2007)
These principles are recognized and supported in NCQA’s updated Physician Practice Connections recognition program and the BCBSM PGIP program

The Patient-Centered Medical Home
The patient centered medical home concept is supported by a large multi-stakeholder group reflecting a broad range of physician professional associations, major employers, major insurers and others that have formed an organization called the “Patient Centered Primary Care Collaborative”
– Over 80 members including: HAP, General Motors, Delphi, Walgreens, AIAG, IBM, AARP, Blue Cross Blue Shield Assoc, United Healthcare, CIGNA, AETNA, Wellpoint, Medical Network One, most of the primary care focused major physician associations and two major health systems (Geisinger and University of Pittsburgh Medical Center)
The basis for support is evidence that care delivered through primary care physicians increases the value of care, as reflected in improved quality and reduced expense
11
PCMH in Michigan
The group determined the joint principles of: Personal physician Physician directed medical practice Whole person orientation Care that is coordinated and/or integrated Quality and safety Enhanced Access Payment
The group then added the following Michigan footnotes: Patient-centered model of care that recognizes the patients as stewards of their own
health Personal physician may be of any specialty, but the practice must meet all requirements Clinical outcomes, safety, resource utilization and clinical and administrative efficiency
are consistent with best practices Transformational change in healthcare financial incentives should occur simultaneously
with, proportionally to, and in alignment with PCMH adoption HAP’s focus initially is to support primary care physicians to develop processes and tools
to support PCMH
The Michigan Primary Care Consortium convened a group of representatives from insurance companies, health plans, and professional associations to develop statewide consensus on the PCMH definition, identification, and metrics

Components of Patient-Centered Medical Home
Electronic prescribing (eRx)
Clinical information systems: registries, Electronic Health Record (EHR), access to lab, radiology and other test results
Use of registries for chronic care patient identification and tracking of tests and missing chronic care and preventive services
Follow up on abnormal test or subspecialty recommendations I.e. coordination and continuity
Advance planning for visits
Extended access/after hours coverage/same day acute care visits
E-visit or secure e-mail
Chronic care coordination through multidisciplinary teams, home monitoring, family involvement
13
Additional Features of Patient-CenteredMedical Home
Patient engagement
Integration of behavioral issues especially depression
Provider transparency cost/quality/patient satisfaction
Group visits for chronic care patients
Medication reconciliation between hospital/office/nursing home
