Aim I: lowering Cost Tactic: Communicate Health Council Target Areas to the Medical Staff of both hospitals, and individually via the CAP members. Example: Focus Areas Super-users • 161 people (2.2%) use 40% of the funding ($7M) • 273 people (3.7%) use the next 20% chunk of funding • Proposed Solutions: The “hot-spotter strategy”: Community Health Worker Hub and Primary Care PCPCH Case Management Education • Emergency Department Usage • Wasco County ER use rate is 2x Hood River County, even though the population is divided 55% Wasco and 45% Hood River • Proposed Solution: ED Diversion Program (like the Central Oregon Model)
Aim I: Lower Cost CGHC Focus Areas (cont.) • Behavioral Health Integration • Poorly managed mental health conditions magnify costs of treating chronic physical conditions • Proposed Solution: Integrate care, (like the MCOC model) • Specialty Drug Use • Our CCO is 30% lower in occurrences of chronic disease but we are 4.3X higher in specialty drug use cost • Pharmacy costs are a large piece of the spend • Proposed Solution: Investigate 340B cost savings and review prescribing practices at a peer to peer level
Aim III: Improving the Experience of care with Transformation Projects • Transformation funding- Model for distribution
Aim III: Improving the Experience of care with Transformation Projects • Transformation funding- Model for distribution • Clinical Advisory Panel: Does the project have ethical merit? • Community Advisory Council: Is it right for our community? • Board: is it financially viable and is there sufficient ROI?
