  9. Benefits of 3M™ Potentially PreventableReadmissions & Complications • Focuses attention on cases that you can affect through improved clinical and care management processes • Helps you understand the needs of your key populations • Trended PPR & PPC performance more sensitive to performance improvement initiatives • Optimally used with APR DRG LOS and Mortality findings to understand changing populations 21st Annual Midas+ User Symposium • May 20–23, 2012 • Tucson, Arizona

  10. Training Webinars for APR DRG PPRs June 13, 2012 - 10:30 am Pacific Time June 15, 2012 - 8:30 am Pacific Time June 21, 2012 - 1:30 pm Pacific Time Register on the Midas+ Clients Only Website 21st Annual Midas+ User Symposium • May 20–23, 2012 • Tucson, Arizona

  11. Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program • Begins with October 1, 2012 discharges • Payments to hospitals will be reduced for excess 30-day readmissions following an index discharge • NQF #0505 Acute MI 30-day Risk Standardized Readmission • NQF #0330 Heart Failure 30-day Risk Standardized Readmission • NQF #0506 Pneumonia 30-day Risk Standardized Readmission • Excludes patients with in-hospital death, without at least 30 days post-discharge enrollment in Medicare FFS, discharged AMA or under the age of 65. • Only 1 readmission during 30 days following discharge from the initial hospitalization will count as a readmission for purposes of calculating adjustment factors 21st Annual Midas+ User Symposium • May 20–23, 2012 • Tucson, Arizona

  12. CMS Readmission Risk Adjustment Methodology Patient demographic factors Co-morbid diagnoses and indicators of frailty Data source is from Medicare Part A and B claims (excluding Medicare Advantage) 12 months prior to and including the index admission Discharges July 1, 2008 to June 30, 2011 will be used by CMS to calculate the excess readmission ratios used to determine payment in FY 2013 Midas+ can NOT replicate this measure Methodology is available at: http://qualitynet.org/dcs/ContentServer?c=Page&pagename=QnetPublic%2FPage%2FQnetTier4&cid=1219069855841. 21st Annual Midas+ User Symposium • May 20–23, 2012 • Tucson, Arizona

  13. Review of Proposed IPPS Rule CMS-1588-PPosted April 26, 2012 21st Annual Midas+ User Symposium • May 20–23, 2012 • Tucson, Arizona

  14. Hospital Readmissions Reduction ProgramProposed Modification to Payment Calculation • The hospital’s DRG base payment will be modified by an “Adjustment Factor” • The “Adjustment Factor” will be the higher of either the “Ratio” or the “Floor” values (rounded to fourth decimal place) • Ratio = 1 (aggregate payment for excessive readmissions) (aggregate payment for all discharges) • Floor adjustment set at 0.9900 for FY 2013, 0.9800 for FY 2014 and 0.9700 for FY 2015 and subsequent fiscal years

  15. Steps to Estimate Impact of Readmission Reduction Program at Your Hospital Note that the data for the 3-year applicable period of July 1, 2008 to June 30, 2011 Has not been completed yet. CMS to post a review period before June 20, 2012 Go to Hospital Compare and calculate your hospital’s excessive readmission ratio Calculate aggregate payments for all discharges Calculate aggregate payments for excess readmissions Calculate your ratio and determine your readmission adjustment factor 21st Annual Midas+ User Symposium • May 20–23, 2012 • Tucson, Arizona

  16. Step 1: Calculate your excessive readmission ratio for each population and retrieve your population volumes from Hospital Compare Website

  17. Step #2: Calculate Aggregate Payments for All Discharges (Base DRG payment x AMI volume) + $6877 x 498 = $3,424,746 (Base DRG payment x CHF volume) + $6877 x 671 = $4,614,467 (Base DRG payment x PN volume) $6877 x 833 = $5,728,541 Aggregate payments for all discharges $13,767,754 21st Annual Midas+ User Symposium • May 20–23, 2012 • Tucson, Arizona

  18. Step #3: Calculate Aggregate Payments for Excess Readmissions You have to perform better than the national median in all three populations in order to avoid a reduction in your DRG base payment rate (Base DRG payment x AMI volume) x (ERR – 1) = (18.0 Hospital /19.8 National) – 1 = -.0909 $3,424,746 x -.0909 = < 1 = NO EXCESS PAYMENTS (Base DRG payment x CHF volume) x (ERR – 1) = (24.9 Hospital /24.8 National ) – 1 = .0040 $4,614,467 x .0040 = $18,606.73 in Excess Payments (Base DRG payment x PN volume) x (ERR -1) = (18.8 Hospital /18.4 National) – 1 = .0217 $5,728,541 x .0217 = $124,309.34 in Excess Payments Aggregate payments for excess readmissions $142,916.07 21st Annual Midas+ User Symposium • May 20–23, 2012 • Tucson, Arizona

  19. Step #4: Calculate your ratio Ratio = 1 – (Aggregate payments for excess readmits / Aggregate payments for all discharges) Ratio = 1 – ($142,916.07/$13,767,754) 1 – 0.0104 Ratio = .9896 FY 2013 Floor value of 0.9900 is greater than ratio Hospital Readmission Adjustment Factor is .9900 Base Rate Decreased from $6,877 to $6,808.23 21st Annual Midas+ User Symposium • May 20–23, 2012 • Tucson, Arizona

  20. Tips for Preparing for Readmission Reduction Program Excess readmission ratios used for Readmission Reduction Program are not identical to those posted on Hospital Compare for HIQR Program. Review confidential reports and patient level details about your hospital readmissions, which will be delivered to your secure QualityNetaccounts by June 20, 2012 (30-day review period) Only 34.5% of American hospitals will have no adjustment. Have your CFO and Quality Officer review the proposed rule in detail and comment, comment, comment to CMS on or before June 25, 2012 Review readmission patterns for your hospital wide and total knee and hip populations NOW to determine impact on your organization because these populations may be added to the Hospital Inpatient Quality Program 21st Annual Midas+ User Symposium • May 20–23, 2012 • Tucson, Arizona

  21. Proposed New Claims-Based Measures for FY 2015 Payment Determination • Hip/Knee Readmission: Hospital-Level 30-day All-Cause Risk Standardized Readmission Rate following elective primary total hip and knee arthroplastyNQF #1551 • 2008 Medicare FFS claims data show rates range from 3.06 to 50.94 percent (median 6.06%) • Repeat hip/knee arthoplasty in 30 days excluded • Risk adjusted similar to AMI, HF and PN readmission metrics 21st Annual Midas+ User Symposium • May 20–23, 2012 • Tucson, Arizona

  22. Proposed New Claims-Based Measures for FY 2015 Payment Determination • Hospital Wide Readmission • All-Cause readmissions within 30 days of discharge • Single summary score derived from five specialties: medicine, surgery and gynecology, cardiorespiratory, cardiovascular and neurology • Exclusions include planned procedures, cancer and psychiatric conditions • Pending NQF endorsement • 20% of all Medicare beneficiaries are re-hospitalized within 30 days of discharge • Preventable readmissions estimated from 12 to 76 percent • If national rates could be lowered to levels achieved by top performing regions $1.9 billion saved annually Measure specifications can be found on NQF Website at http://www.qualityforum.org/Projects/Readmissions_Endorsement_ Maintenance.aspx 21st Annual Midas+ User Symposium • May 20–23, 2012 • Tucson, Arizona
