ACO Background • 100% Owned by Medical Practice • Reporting Period Started April 1, 2012 • 11,000+ Attributed Beneficiaries • Advanced Payment Model ACO • Successfully reported 2012 ACO GPRO Measures
ACO Preventive Health Quality Measures 14. Influenza Immunization 15. Pneumococcal Vaccination for Patients 65 Years and Older 16. Body Mass Index Screening and Follow-up 17. Tobacco Use: Screening and Cessation Intervention 18. Screening for Clinical Depression and Follow-Up Plan 19. Colorectal Cancer Screening 20. Breast Cancer Screening 21.

Challenges of ACO GPRO Reporting Competing Priorities Dynamic Metrics Patient Empanelment Capabilities
Develop Strategy and Structure for Reporting Quality Measures • Develop Purpose • Get PhysicianLeaders Involved • Establish Clear Measurable Objectives • Create Appropriate Incentives • Make Objectives Easy to Accomplish • Provide Doctors with Resources • Have Staff do as Much as Possible • Educate Everyone on Staff • Celebrate Small Successes and Praise Champions
Develop Strategy and Structure for Reporting Quality Measures • Elaborate systems and HIE are not required • Utilize team approach-Leverage IT, clinical Staff and coders • Use CMS provided Excel templates • Structured data in EHR helps • Some clinical data will need to be abstracted from unstructured notes • Claims data is very useful to determine where preventive services are being performed to request reports and “backfill” data in to the EHR or paper record • Be ready to start data collection January 13th, 2014 when CMS will provide your GPRO patient list • Decide ahead of time whether you will be using XML upload or manually entry into GPRO WI tool
EHR and Reporting Tools • Allscripts Enterprise E H R • Allscripts Clinical Quality • Actionable at Point-of-care (For all contracts and populations) • Saves provider and staff time searching thru chart • Easy to use and train • EHR serves as the main data repository for the data • Can integrate with multiple EMRs
Best Practices • Provide clinical and system resources • Communication • Train and educate everyone in the medical group on Quality Measures; key to success • Provide hands on training to help staff input, review and coordinate measure reporting • Promote Annual Wellness Visits for ACO patients • Develop and Present monthly “scorecards” to create healthy competition among providers and staff • Share best practices and lessons learned across clinical locations • Decide ahead of time whether you are focusing on completion rates or measure performance- Oversampling Counts! • Module Completion rates are calculated by successfully completing data on at least 411 patients • Measure performance is calculated on data completed for all patients- Oversampling may increase measure rates • 2013 GPRO is Pay for Reporting

Measurement and Improvement of Preventive Health Within an ACO Sara Falkiewicz
Background • 475 Physicians, 121 Allied Health in ACO • PCPs 31 percent (33% independent) • Specialists 69 percent (83% independent) • Independent 66 percent • Employed 34 percent • Allied Health Members 121 • Represent approximately 20 specialties • No Behavioral Health, Anesthesiology • 50%/50% between Health System, IPA
Background • Health System • 19 primary care and specialty clinics • 2 hospitals • One medium size teaching hospital • One small community hospital • Joint Ventures • Ambulatory Surgery Center • Rehabilitation Hospital of Wisconsin • Continuum • Home Health, Hospice, Senior Center
Background • ProHealth Solutions • Formed January 1, 2011 • MSSP Program July 1, 2012 • 15,000+ Attributed Beneficiaries
Preventive Metrics • Influenza • Pneumococcal • BMI and Blood Pressure Screening/Follow Up • Tobacco Screening/Intervention • Colorectal and Breast Cancer • Depression Screening
Strategy and Structure to Report • Strong history of clinical reporting • Health System Medical Group • Voluntarily submitting electronically gathered patient level data to state collaborative (WCHQ) since 2006 • Currently at 32 measures • Immunization, tobacco, cancer screening • Independent Physician Association • Measuring at a physician level since late 90’s in a manual fashion • As of 2012 had been running almost 200 metrics • Immunization, tobacco, cancer screening
ObtainingData • Started With: • Multiple EMR’s • 20+ Individual Billing Systems • End With: • One monster warehouse • 83% of providers on Epic • Balance on other EMR or SharePoint
How to Report: Literal • Studied each measure specification • Identified impacted clinical workflows, and if discrete data was available (or not) • Prioritized EMR documentation build projects based on metric needs • Validation and test process for each metric • Engage physicians in reporting manually if needed
Reporting Challenges • Immunizations • Capturing out-of-clinic administrations • WIR – Wisconsin Immunization Registry • BMI and Blood Pressure Screening/Follow Up • Doing the screening, couldn’t discretely capture the follow up • SmartText in Epic
Reporting Challenges • Colorectal and Breast Cancer Screening • Capturing out-of-ACO procedures • Accurate documentation of exclusions • Mastectomies, Colostomies • Depression Screening • Had to identify a single tool • Rolling out in primary care, adding to rooming process
Reporting Challenges • Physician assignment • Specialty versus primary care: “actionable” • Movement of physicians in and out of ACO • Resources and Organizational “Breadth” • Preparation for ICD-10 • Meaningful Use quality measures • Increase in commercial payor metrics • Pressure from specialists for metrics more applicable to their practice
Strategy and Structure to Improve • Develop a shared vision • Education • Measure definitions • Documentation requirements • Supporting clinical evidence
Strategy and Structure to Improve • Mobilize • During visit activity • Utilize medical record decision support • Due date calendar • Easy-to-access orders • Scheduling of testing outlined in care plan and next steps for patient • Outside of visit activity • Searching charts for old or incorrectly documented testing • Telephone, letter, and patient portal outreach communication
Strategy and Structure to Improve • Monitor • Monthly data provided to leaders and clinicians • Overall rate, numerator and denominator • Patient-level detail on patients missing care or documentation
