CMS has adopted a framework that categorizes payments to providers

Description

Medicare Fee-for-Service examples

Payments are based on volume of services and not linked to quality or efficiency

Category 1:

Fee for Service – No Link to Value

Category 2:

Fee for Service – Link to Quality

Category 3:

Alternative Payment Models Built on Fee-for-Service Architecture

Category 4:

Population-Based Payment

At least a portion of payments vary based on the quality or efficiency of health care delivery

Some payment is linked to the effective management of a population or an episode of care Payments still triggered by

delivery of services, but opportunities for shared savings or 2-sided risk

Payment is not directly triggered by service delivery so volume is not linked to payment Clinicians and

organizations are paid and responsible for the care of a beneficiary for a long period (e.g., ≥1 year)

Limited in Medicare fee-for-service Majority of

Medicare payments now are linked to quality

How you respond to the challenge in the second half will

determine what you become after the game, whether

you are a winner or a loser.

-Louis Camuti

An Innovative Solution to Reducing Readmissions:

Graham Hospital and The

W.R.A.P Program

14

W.R.A.P-Graham Hospital

• With the rising emphasis on reducing hospital readmissions, it is important to identify and utilize evidence based programs that can help ensure patient safety at discharge, as well as shore up hospital confidence that it is providing effective and successful individualized discharged plans for each patient.

• Wellness Recovery Action Plan (W.R.A.P.) offers many of the necessary components for a successful disease management program

• Offered in both in-patient and out-patient settings, to maximize efforts to successfully reduce preventable hospital readmissions, specifically for the C.O.P.D. population

15

Why Use W.R.A.P

While countless curriculums' can be found on disease management techniques, W.R.A.P. has some unique components that set it apart from the others:

A) It is an Evidence Based Practice- Extensive research has proven its techniques are effective in the management of chronic health conditions.

B) Low cost to implement- there are no costly materials to buy or fees associated with the use of the curriculum.

C) It is empowering and offers immediate buy-in for the participants- There is no one telling them what they must do. They can choose the wellness tools that they know will work best for them and then put it all together in a succinct plan they can reference daily and revise as see their needs changing.

D) It looks at the WHOLE person and helps participants to see the spectrum of wellness to illness and action steps they can use to intervene before they end up back in a crisis and must go back to the hospital again.

16

W.R.A.P COPD Program

• Week 1- Introduction to W.R.A.P.

• Week 2- Explanation of COPD

• Week 3- Representative from Dietary address how diet affects their COPD management, as well as tools they can use each day to help improve their quality of life.

• Week 4- Representative from Pharmacy address how their meds work to help improve lung function and other overall organ systems connected with COPD.

• Week 5- Coverage of the W.R.A.P. curriculum that helps group members develop Wellness Tools that they can use each day to help stay healthy, despite having COPD.

17

W.R.A.P COPD Program

• Week 6- Explanation of the W.R.A.P. curriculum, which allows group members to identify COPD triggers, early warning signs, when things are breaking down, crisis plan management of COPD.

• Week 7- Coverage of the W.R.A.P. curriculum for a Post Crisis W.R.A.P. plan.

• Week 8- Question and answer time, assistance with group members in writing certain parts of their W.R.A.P. plan, finish up any W.R.A.P. curriculum that had not been covered in previous weeks, etc.

*Department representatives are there for question and answer only. They do not need to bring any prepared curriculum with them, but are welcome to bring ideas, handouts or demonstrate techniques they think might be beneficial to

participants.

Required Resources

A) Train the Trainer cost: 7 weeks of one day per week training= $1,386.00

B) Cost per class for the facilitator's salary: Weekly 2 hours= $49.50 or $396.00 for 8 weeks

C) Yearly cost for the four required W.R.A.P. C.E.U. sessions: 8 hours each-$198.00 or $792.00 total

A+B+C= If W.R.A.P. was offered four times a year, the total cost to the organization including the train the trainer, group facilitator hourly

salary and yearly C.E.U. requirements would= $3,762.00

19

W.R.A.P-ROI

• An internal audit was done in 2012 by Graham's financial services department to get an estimated cost of what one readmission costs the organization.

• At that time, they found the average gross charge per inpatient to be $22,622.

• As of January, with the adjustment percentage of 58.5% being applied to each person, the average net loss with each readmission is $9,388.

Unspecified Psychoses

• A “super-utilizer” groundswell is emerging. Programs designed to serve high-need, high-cost populations are growing in number – the Center for Health Care Strategies (CHCS) recently catalogued such programs in 26 states, and expects this number to steadily increase.

Top 5 APR-DRGs in Illinois

These top 5 APR DRGs for Illinois are from October 1, 2013-September 30, 2014 RAP Statewide Report

In other states and at the federal level,

policymakers are increasingly

making it a priority to launch and scale these

programs.

Centerstone Crisis Center in Partnership with Herrin Hospital • Hospital and Emergency Department costs related to mental

health crises are one of the biggest drivers of Medicaid costs in southern Illinois. Seeing a need to reduce unnecessary ED and hospital utilization for persons with mental illness in crisis, Centerstone has developed two service lines: Community Crisis Assessment and Crisis Stabilization.

25

• In 2014, Centerstone’s ED and hospital diversion care service lines saved Illinois $4.1 million in prevented Medicaid costs.

• In January 2014 at the start of the Southern Illinois Healthcare Centerstone collaboration, the average number of hours a person with a behavioral health crisis could expect to be in the Herrin Hospital ED was 7.3 hours.

• Due to the partnership with Centerstone, the 2015 average hours are now 6.1 hours.

• This is a 20% reduction, freeing up valuable staff time in the ED to address other urgent needs.

26

Centerstone Crisis Center in Partnership with Herrin Hospital

• Centerstone’s Community Crisis Assessment Team provided 2,730 crisis services in 2014.

• Mental health related ED visits can cost as much as 50% more than that of other ED visits, for an average cost of $3,100.

• With Centerstone’s Crisis Assessment Services costing $402 per assessment on average, this is a savings of $2,698 per encounter if the community crisis assessment prevented an ED visit.

• For the individuals who received a preventative crisis assessment be for e an ED visit occurred, estimated 2014 savings for ED visits alone is $3 million.

27

Community Crisis Assessment

• Centerstone’s Crisis Stabilization Unit (CSU) is a cost-effective hospitalization alternative for individuals with mental illness needing a safe, short term, 24/7 staffed unit with nursing coverage.

• The CSU prevented 537 hospitalization nights while providing a safe, short-term 24/7-staffed unit with nursing coverage.

• This amounted to a mean per diem savings of $2,021, a total savings of nearly $1.1 million in 2014.

An Innovative Solution to Enhanced Medication

Reconciliation:

Anderson Hospital Collaborative Pilot Project: Connecting Hospital EMRs with the

IL PMP

30

31

The Illinois Prescription Monitoring Program (PMP) Collaborative

A collaborative effort to leverage existing technology in order to enhance medication

reconciliation by facilitating accurate and more timely communication of medications across the

continuum

• A centralized repository of controlled medication prescription information collected from 2800+ pharmacies in Illinois

• Information is electronically uploaded on a weekly basis to the IL Dept of Human Services (DHS) PMP website

o 1 million prescriptions/month

• Clinicians currently access the PMP

by navigating to and logging in at the website to view patients current & historical use of controlled medications

32

What is the Prescription Monitoring Program (PMP)?

33

Objectives of the Pilot Collaborative

Phase I: Introduce seamless direct integration between PMP & Acute Care Hospital Electronic Medical Record (EMR) - allowing clinicians direct access to current PMP medication information from their EMR

Phase II: Integrate a data transfer link between PMP & LTC medication information to Hospital’s EMR to provide enhanced accuracy of patient medication

reconciliation resulting in decreased readmissions and improved safety

Automated timely access = improved efficiencies Saves 100 hours / week of clinician time

Eliminates need to remember additional username and password currently needed to log into the PMP

Allows for expanded monitoring of PMP information Is the requisite 1st step prior to Phase II connection of

PMP+ (LTC) IT consulting service is being offered FREE through this pilot

• Huge value add due to the EMR button -no need to log into the PMP manually • Expands numbers of staff “eyes” to monitor medication

sources • Used PMP data to justify denial of medications to potential

drug seeking patients • Augments medication reconciliation for admission &

discharge

38

Anderson Clinician Feedback

“It’s been awesome!”

39

PMP Achieving the Triple Aim

More accurate real-time medication

reconciliation

Since Anderson Hospital submits approximately 1,200 automated

requests weekly, the approximate value to the

hospital equals $8,000 weekly or slightly more than two FTE

physicians annually.

Enhanced continuity of care on transfers between LTC &

hospitals

Increased accuracy of medication reconciliation

resulting in decreased readmissions and improved

patient outcomes
