Better quality, Better health, Lower costs
January 9th, 2014
Optimizing hospital care Better care, better health, lower costs
You have to have the will to improve;You have to have ideas about alternatives to the status quo; andYou have to make it real through execution
All three have to be arranged by leaders – they are not automatic
How can leaders accelerate innovation?
1. A population-based care plan2. Anticipation of workforce needs3. Coordination of care across settings4. Transparency of payment reform5. Meaningful actionable measurement
1. Actualizing hospital reform thruclinician leadership
Better care, better health, lower costs• Region-wide bed-board triage
system• Hospital, rehab and SNF• CMS waivers• Patients located by need, not
facility revenue or compliance
Avoid transfusions of red blood cells for arbitrary hemoglobin or hematocrit thresholds and in the absence of symptoms of active coronary disease, heart failure or stroke.
Five Things Physicians and Patients Should Question
Optimizing rural careBetter care, better health, lower costs
1. Reduce the gap between practice and policy
2. Actualize 3 planned levels of care3. Become the national benchmark for
measurement4. Make VT a magnet for the workforce
“Our current clinical capabilities are such that we never lose a life because we are missing capacity when a life threatening situation presents itself; but we are all really stressed ”
-Rural health system medical director

Reduce policy gap“My biggest hope is that reform will work,
but my biggest fear is that it will not.There needs to be physician buy in. There
needs to be a critical mass of engaged supportive physicians “
