US National Debt at $15.9 Trillion Each pallet equals $100 million dollars, full of $100 dollar bills Unless the U.S. government fixes the budget, US National debt (credit card bill) will topple $16 trillion this fall and rise to $22.1 Trillion within 4 years. US national debt passes 20% of the entire world’s combined GDP.

Medicaid Expansion:Is the ACA’s Medicaid expansion a violation of states’ rights? Severability:Should the remainder of the ACA stand if a portion is struck down? Supreme Court Decision Upheld under Congress’ power to impose taxes Medicaid expansion upheld; federal government may not withhold existing Medicaid funds if states forgo expansion The remainder of the law can stand Source: Advisory Board

Hospital Drivers for Alignment $ Lower Costs “The biggest potential income streams for both hospitals and physicians may reside in sharing savings from providers. To do that, hospitals and physicians must manage care together.” – PwC “Physician orders are directly responsible for 80% of U.S. healthcare spending.” – Deloitte Center for Health Solutions Better Quality “Better quality will finally pay off for hospitals but they need physicians to deliver it.” – PwC New Payment Systems “Hospitals need to partner with physicians as a means of participating in ACO’s and other new payment arrangements.” – PwC Expand Base, Increase Volume, Grow Market Share “High end expensive procedures are at risk unless we can expand the referral base.”– Michael Sachs, Sg2 Source: PricewaterhouseCoopers | Deloitte | Sg2

Clinically Integrated Network (CIN or IPN) Private Practice Physicians CI Entity Health System Employed Medical Group CIN is commonly defined as an integrated health network using proven protocols and measures to improve patient care, decrease cost, and demonstrate value to the market. After demonstrating value, the CIN negotiates with payers and large employers to support the network with incentives based on demonstrated value and achieved results.

PCMH Care Redesign Traditional PCMH Patients are registered in the medical home PCMH systematically assesses all patient health needs to plan care Care is determined by a proactive plan to meet patient’s needs (with our without an office visit) Care is consistent with evidence-based guidelines A prepared team of professionals coordinates all patient care Acute care is delivered by open-access and non-visit contacts PCMH tracks tests, consultations, ED visits, hospital visits and follow-up care A multidisciplinary team works to serve patients Patients make appointments Patients’ chief symptoms or reasons for visit determine care Care is determined by today’s problem and time available today Care varies by provider Patients are responsible for coordinating their own care Acute care is delivered during the next available appointment and to walk-ins Patient must tell caregiver what happened Operations center on physician’s schedule Source: Central Ohio PCMH Project
The PCMH is a health care approach that facilitates partnerships between patients, their families and personal physicians (and/or extenders). The PCMH follows a set of standards around care coordination and data monitoring that leads to demonstrated quality outcomes at reduced costs. PCMH Benefits and Risks Benefits • Increases quality and reduces cost of chronic patient care • Enhances access and continuity of care • Aligns PCP physicians around care delivery • Focuses on integrated care management • Patient survey results help drive quality improvement • Presents opportunity for enhanced reimbursement • Creates possible competitive advantage Risks • ROI uncertain and difficult to measure • Demands increased administrative support • Requires (significant) IT investment • Creates significant change in culture and practice patterns • Requires progressive use of technology and other models of patient interaction Source: NCQA, 2011
Accountable Care Organization (ACO) Hospital: Lower admissions and re-admissions; more appropriate use of ED; integration with physicians; enhanced reimbursement(?) Specialists: Increased level of integration with PCPs, increased efficiency, focus on reducing re-admissions Hospital Community Payer Specialists Primary Care Provider: Increased focus on patient health, greater access to information, increased use of quality metrics, better reimbursement, Primary Care Provider Social Worker Payer: Improved member satisfaction, lower costs, opportunity for new business models Other Caregivers Nurse Patient Government: Lower healthcare costs, healthier population Employer Government Patient: Less costly, more convenient care; coordinated services, productive long-term relationship with all physicians Pharmaceutical Manufacturer Employer: Lower costs, more productive workforce, improved employee satisfaction
