  1. Bundled Payment: 1 Year Later2014 AAPM&R Annual Assembly

  2. Brooks Rehabilitation: System of Care • Inpatient Rehabilitation • 157 freestanding IRF beds • 3,100+ admissions annually • Skilled Nursing • A new 100-bed SNF that opened July 2013 • Management of 35-bed SNU focused on joint replacements • Home Health Care • Covers 6 counties • 70,000+ skilled visits annually • Neuro Day Treatment • Day program for patients recovering from brain injury & other neurological disorders • Outpatient Therapy • 28 locations • 225,000 patient visits to over 23,000 patients • Physician Services • 11 employed PM&R physicians • Provide both IP and OP care • Community Programs • Adaptive Sports • Brain Injury Club House • Stroke Wellness • Rehabilitation Research • In partnership with the University of Florida • 14 active clinical trials

  4. Participation in Model 3(Includes Post-Acute Only) • Bundled payment program is referred to as CompleteCare internally & externally with its own branding: • Brooks is an “awardee convener” for a Model 3 program covering the following MS-DRG’s: • As an awardee convener, Brooks is financially liable for excess spending owed to CMS based on episodes that initiate in Brooks owned locations for a episode length of 60 days. Conversely, we have a financial opportunity if the total spend is less than the target • Initial target price based on Brooks 3 year historical data (2009-2012) • Price adjusted regularly throughout demonstration to account for National trends • Target price is net of a 3% discount guaranteed to Medicare • Risk phase began October 1, 2013 As compared to MS-DRGs covering Stroke, CHF, COPD, etc.

  5. Rationale for Participation in BPCI • Be on the forefront of possible payment reform and healthcare policy changes that might effect post-acute providers • Serve as a catalyst for our businesses to begin working together as a system • Experiment with clinical redesign • Have a stronger “voice” regarding future policy and payment reform changes • Prove that post-acute care providers have the sophistication to take “risk” and play a primary role in the continuum of care

  6. Original Expectations • Bundled Payment would be an experiment, a form of “research” • Breakeven financial performance • Would require diversion of patients traditionally seen in Brooks Rehabilitation Hospital thereby challenging belief systems • We would be able to back-fill loss of patients from Brooks Rehabilitation Hospital • Development of the care navigator, we were not sure what it would mean • The need for tools that would facilitate communication between settings – we never envisioned CareCompass • Would we have the ability to self-manage Medicare claims data and Brooks clinical data?

  7. What has Brooks changed internally as a result of Bundled Payment?

  8. Care Compass - Assists clinical team in prioritizing patients, predicting future needs, and alerts of declining status - Updates every 2-4 hours with key metrics

  9. General BPCI Volume Statistics • Cases triggering a Brooks Model 3 bundle since going live October 1, 2o13 through August 31, 2014 • Joint replacement cases = 665 • Hip fracture cases = 182 • Total cases = 847

  10. First Site of Care is Shifting SNF SNF SNF Historical Source: Jan 2009 – June 2012; CMMI Claims Data File Actual Source: Oct 1 2013 – Aug 16 2014

  11. 60 Day Readmission Rates Period: Oct 1 2013 – August 31, 2014; cases completed

  12. Patient Specific Functional Scale Results • The Patient Specific Functional Scale (PSFS) is a self-reported, patient specific measure, designed to assess to functional change over an episode of care • Patients asked to identify important activities they were unable to perform or having difficulty performing • Rating on an 11-point scale: • Score of “0” reflecting no ability to perform activity • Score of “10” reflects full ability to perform activity Results: Time Period: 10/1/2013 – 5/31/2014

  13. Financial Results *Episodes beginning between Oct 1, 2013 - August 31, 2014 *Before Administrative costs of $644 per episode *Before shared savings payout to two acute care hospitals *Savings estimated with a blend of actual Medicare reconciliation for 2 quarters and conservative projections based on actual 1st site of care and historical costs. Cost savings focused on diverting** certain IRF patients to SNF & reducing acute readmissions **Diversion focused on patients who meet a specific profile and where a SNF placement is highly predictable

  14. Overall Performance • Financial performance has far exceeded expectations • It is extremely difficult to make large meaningful improvements in hospital readmissions rates – we have barely scratched the surface of the work we need to do • Patient self reporting of their functional improvements is extremely strong • Patient experience matches our overall high performance of our individual businesses • We have gained tremendous experience managing Medicare claims data and internal clinical data • Savings is very asymmetrical across our different referral partners

  15. Lessons Learned

  16. Next Steps for Brooks Rehabilitation • Evaluate BPCI expansion to other diagnoses • Possibilities include CHF, Stroke, and Spinal Fusions • Would go at risk for the new episodes on April 1, 2015 • Use CompleteCareTo Serve as the Brooks “System of Care Roadmap (regardless of BPCI participation) • Use learnings with other patient populations as best practice model • Begin adoption of the Complete Care Clinical Model With Other Inpatient Populations • New thinking and training for clinicians • Standardization in clinical programming • Competencies in care planning and coordination • Longitudinal care planning - Thinking beyond own setting

  17. Observations and Possible Future Implications for Post-Acute Providers and Physicians • Post Acute represents a large portion of the cost of an episode of care and the increased scrutiny of PAC utilization will continue • Will lead to a decline in utilization of high cost settings • Less IRF admissions • Will require IRFs to develop new programs to offset loss of volume • Increased attention on physician driven metrics which drive costs • LOS, Discharge settings, Readmission rates • Physician gain sharing opportunities • Dramatic shifts in physician referral patterns • Physician differentiation based on being a high quality low cost provider • Close coordination and buy in from surgeons and PM&R physicians is a key success factor
