  3. Goals • Have a basic understanding of Value Based Purchasing • Have a basic understanding of HCAPS • Have knowledge of CMS’s Readmission Reduction Program • Have some specific ideas about how respiratory therapists can play a role in reducing COPD readmissions • Leave with hope and encouragement that Respiratory Therapists can be leaders in Healthcare Reform and continue to grow and thrive as a profession

  4. Affordable Care Act Attempts to reform the healthcare system by: • Providing more Americans with affordable quality health insurance • Curbing the growth in healthcare spending Condensed version – 974 pages long

  8. What has Changed? Past • Diagnosis Related Groups (DRG) • Paid for treating Future • Pay for Performance • Population Management

  9. Hospital Value-Based Purchasing Purpose • Promote better clinical outcomes for hospital patients • Improve their experience of care during hospital stays

  10. How will they achieve this? • Eliminate or reduce occurrence of adverse events (healthcare errors resulting in patient harm) • Adopting evidence-based care standards and protocols that result in the best outcomes for the most patients • Re-engineering hospital processes that improve patients’ experience of care

  11. Measures:Hospital Value-Based Purchasing Hospital’s performance will be based on their performance in several areas

  12. Measures:Hospital Value-Based Purchasing Fiscal Year (FY) 2013 • 12 Clinical Process of Care measures • 8 Patient Experience of Care dimensions - HCAHPS survey

  13. Clinical Process of Care measures AMI Heart Failure Pneumonia Surgical Care Improvement

  14. Measures:Hospital Value-Based Purchasing Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 • 13 Clinical Process of Care measures • 8 Patient Experience of Care dimensions (HCAHPS) • 3 30-Day Outcome Mortality measures: • Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) • Heart Failure (HF) • Pneumonia (PN)

  15. Measures:Hospital Value-Based Purchasing Fiscal Year (FY) 2014

  16. Measures: Hospital Value-Based Purchasing Fiscal Year (FY) 2015 • 12 Clinical Process of Care measures • 8 Patient Experience of Care dimensions (HCAHPS) • 3 - 30-Day Outcome Mortality measures: • Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) • Heart Failure (HF) • Pneumonia (PN) • 1 Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) Composite measure: • Patient Safety Indicator (PSI-90)] • 1 Healthcare Associated Infection: • Central Line-Associated Blood Stream Infection (CLABSI) • 1 Efficiency measure: • Medicare Spending Per Beneficiary (MSPB)

  17. Hospital Value-Based Purchasing Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS)

  18. How Can we Always Have Patient Satisfaction

  19. HCAHPS - Intent To provide a standardized survey instrument and data collection methodology for measuring patients' perspectives on hospital care Are we comparing Apples-to-Apples?

  20. HCAHPS - Goals • To produce comparable data on the patient's perspective on care • Designed to create incentives for hospitals to improve their quality of care • Increase the transparency of the quality of hospital care provided

  21. HCAHPS - Measures

  22. HCAHPS – Public Reporting

  23. HCAHPS – Public Reporting

  24. HCAHPS – Public Reporting There is much more and – The public is out there shopping

  25. Readmissions Reduction Program subpart I of 42 CFR part 412 (§412.150 through §412.154)

  26. Readmissions Reduction Program • Requires CMS to reduce payments to hospitals with excess readmissions • Effective for discharges beginning on October 1, 2012 • Provides incentives for hospitals to reduce the number of hospital readmissions

  27. Readmissions Reduction Program • 2,211 American hospitals received reimbursement penalties for high readmission rates • Together they forfeited about $280 million in Medicare funds in 2012 • According to Medicare, 2 out of 3 hospitals evaluated failed to meet its new standards for preventing 30 day readmissions.

  28. Proposed Replacements of the hip or knee

  29. Readmissions Reduction Program • I in 5 Medicare beneficiaries are readmitted within 30 days - Which equates to 2.3 million patients • National cost of over $17 Billion • Half of patients readmitted had no physician contact • 70% of surgical readmits were for chronic medical conditions. • Potentially 40% of all Readmissions are preventable • New England Journal of Medicine • Stephen F. Jencks, MD, MPH, Mark Williams, MD and Eric A Coleman, MD MPH.

  30. Readmission Factors • 69% were non compliant with meds • 51% lacked knowledge: How to use Therapy Devices • 45% inadequate knowledge of medications • 42% unable to self manage care • 37% had no follow up visit with Physician • 31% develop infection post discharge AARC webcast August 28-12 “Hospital to Home-efforts at Reducing Hospital Readmissions”.
