  16. THE IMPACT OF IMPROVEMENT: What is the System Supposed to Do? A: Move people from right to left—and keep them there Health care spending Healthy/ Low Risk At-Risk High Risk Active Disease Early Symptoms 20% of people generate 80% of costs A value-based health care system Source: HealthPartners

  17. PROMOTE WELLNESS • The primary function of the health care system is to cure illness • keep people healthy • We must re-emphasize primary care • The “medical home” needs to be further defined and promoted • The patient needs to be activated

  18. NURTURE THE EVIDENCE BASE • Gaps in evidence abound • Even where evidence has been developed, there are too few tools to translate knowledge into practice • Appropriateness of care needs further study – it’s tightly linked to quality IMPROVEDPRACTICE NEWEVIDENCE

  19. HOW MUCH HEALTH DO WE GET FOR THE HEALTH CARE DOLLAR? • Relative Resource Use measures calculate risk-adjusted observed cost/expected cost for critical conditions: • Cardiac conditions, diabetes, asthma, COPD, low back pain, hypertension • These conditions account for 60% of all spending • Along with related quality results, allows for plan-to-plan comparisons on value

  20. A COMPREHENSIVE DELIVERY FRAMEWORK • Whose job is it to do what? • How do we design units of measurement to encourage effective, efficient care?

  21. PAYMENT, ACCOUNTABILITY REFORM • Pay for better care, not more care • The system, as it is, rewards bad care • Cost increases are being shifted to workers—or worse, leaving some out of the system altogether

  22. THE TRINITY OF CARE: GOOD CARE DOESN’T EXIST WITHOUT ALL THREE QUALITY ACCESS AFFORDABILITY
