Tobacco Use: Screening and Cessation Intervention 18. Screening for Clinical Depression and Follow-Up Plan 19. Colorectal Cancer Screening 20. Breast Cancer Screening 21.

  10. Quality Points and Weighting By Domain

  11. Quality Scoring Sliding Scale

  12. Challenges of ACO GPRO Reporting Competing Priorities Dynamic Metrics Patient Empanelment Capabilities

  13. Best Practices- What is the best way to eat an Elephant?

  14. What Motivates Physicians?

  15. Operational Changes and Preparations

  16. 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

  17. 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

  18. 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

  19. Allscripts CQS Patient Dashboard

  20. CCQC Mammography Screening

  21. CCQC CRC Screening

  22. CCQC Pneumococcal Vaccination

  23. CCQC Influenza Vaccination

  24. 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

  26. Measurement and Improvement of Preventive Health Within an ACO Sara Falkiewicz

  27. 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

  28. 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

  29. Background • ProHealth Solutions • Formed January 1, 2011 • MSSP Program July 1, 2012 • 15,000+ Attributed Beneficiaries

  30. Preventive Metrics • Influenza • Pneumococcal • BMI and Blood Pressure Screening/Follow Up • Tobacco Screening/Intervention • Colorectal and Breast Cancer • Depression Screening

  31. 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

  32. PHS Information Technology Timeline

  33. 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

  34. How to Report: Technical

  35. 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

  36. 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

  37. 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

  38. 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

  39. Strategy and Structure to Improve • Develop a shared vision • Education • Measure definitions • Documentation requirements • Supporting clinical evidence

  40. 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

  41. 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

  42. Monitoring Tool: Visual Reports
