Collaborative Principles • The Patient Centered Primary Care Collaborative is a coalition of major employers, consumer groups, patient quality organizations, health plans, labor unions, hospitals, clinicians and many others who have joined together to develop and advance the patient centered medical home. The Collaborative believes that, if implemented, the patient centered medical home will improve the health of patients and the viability of the health care delivery system. In order to accomplish our goal, employers, consumers, patients, clinicians and payers have agreed that it is essential to support a better model of compensating clinicians. • Compensation under the Patient-Centered Medical Home model would incorporate enhanced access and communication, improve coordination of care, rewards for higher value, expand administrative and quality innovations and promote active patient and family involvement. The Patient-Centered Medical Home model will also engage patients and their families in positive ongoing relationships with their clinicians. Further, the Patient-Centered Medical Home will improve the quality of care delivered and help control the unsustainable rising costs of healthcare for both individuals and plan-sponsors. • If you agree, please visit us at www.pcpcc.net and join today!

Defining the Medical Home • Patients have accurate, standardized information on physicians to help them choose a practice that will meet their needs. Publically available information Source: Health2 Resources 9.30.08 8
PCPCC Payment Model (May 2007) The Patient-Centered Primary Care Collaborative recommends a three-part payment methodology, Including: A) A monthly care coordination payment for the physician’s work that falls outside of a face-to face visit and for the health information technologies needed to achieve better outcomes, B) A visit-based fee-for-service component that is recognized for services that are currently paid under the present fee-for-service payment system, and C) A performance-based component that recognizes achievement of service, patient centeredness, quality and efficiency goals.
Barbara Starfield of Johns Hopkins University Within the United States, adults with a primary care physician rather than a specialist had 33 percent lower costs of care and were 19 percent less likely to die. In both England and the United States, each additional primary care physician per 10,000 persons is associated with a decrease in mortality rate of 3 to 10 percent. • In the United States, an increase of just one primary care physician is associated with 1.44 fewer deaths per 10,000 persons. A medical home can reduce or even eliminate racial and ethnic disparities in access and quality for insured persons. Commonwealth Fund has reported: Denmark has organized its entire health care system around patient-centered medical homes, achieving the highest patient satisfaction ratings in the world. Denmark has among the lowest per capita health expenditures and highest primary care rankings. Center for Evaluative Clinical Sciences at Dartmouth, states in the US relying more on primary care have: lower Medicare spending, lower resource inputs, lower utilization, and better qualityof care.

NCQA PPC-PCMH Content and Scoring **Must Pass Elements
NCQA PPC-PCMH Scoring Levels: If there is a difference in Level achieved between the number of points and “Must Pass”, the practice will be awarded the lesser level; for example, if a practice has 65 points but passes only 7 “Must Pass” Elements, the practice will achieve at Level 1. Practices with a numeric score of 0 to 24 points or less than 5 “Must Pass” Elements are not Recognized.
How NCQA PPC-PCMH Recognition Works • Physician/practice • Self-assess, collect data using Web-based software • Submit documentation to NCQA when ready • May be asked to submit more data if needed • NCQA • Evaluates and scores all applications • Checks licensure of physician • Audits a sample of applications • Posts Recognized physicians on web • Distributes list of Recognized physicians monthly to health plans and others • Physicians sent media kit, press releases, letter & certificate
Meaningful Use: Meaningful Connections Why this report- Why now? • Unprecedented urgency to change our health care “system.” • American Recovery and Reinvestment Act – over $19B for health IT infrastructure. • Natural synergy between PCMH and health IT. • Offer needed guidance to the industry.
What is included in the Resource Guide? • Defines health IT capabilities essential to PCMH. • Crosswalks capabilities with functional priorities supporting PCMH. • Explores how patients/consumers are currently using health IT to connect. • Representative sample of 19 case example responses from primary care providers. • Appendices include • Guidelines for PCMH Demonstration Projects • Consumer Principles • Consumer Toolkit
“Boots-on-the-Ground” Case Examples – Over 100 • Primary care providers in private practice – we asked them: • What kind of health IT systems do you use? • In what way does health IT and exchange support your practice or organization? • How do you use health IT to improve patient engagement? • What have your results been in terms of improved care processes, clinical outcomes, or increased patient satisfaction as a result of health IT? • What objective evidence do you have that using health IT has achieved positive impacts?

Guidelines for Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH) Demonstration Projects There has been significant interest and activity in the development of demonstration projects regarding the Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH) care model over the past several years. These public, private or public/private projects combine the efforts of payers, providers and other health care stakeholders to test elements of the PCMH care model. A set of guidelines to help ensure that demonstration projects purporting to test the PCMH model are broadly consistent with the joint principles was developed by the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Academy of Family Physicians, the American College of Physicians and the American Osteopathic Association.In addition, the standardization promoted by the acceptance of these guidelines will help facilitate more meaningful interpretation and understanding of the “lessons learned” from the results of the different PCMH demonstration projects. Recommendations Collaboration and Leadership Practice Recognition Practice Support Reimbursement Model Assessment and Reporting of Results A full description of the Guidelines can be found on the Patient Centered Primary Care Collaborative website.

Inclusion of the Medical Home Concept in Health Reform Efforts Employer Trade Associations Executive Branch Think Tanks The Patient-Centered Medical Home Plans developed by Congressional Representatives
Baucus- Health Care Reform Proposal (November 2008) • Expanding Medicare’s role in testing the medical home model — in which practitioners are paid explicitly for comprehensive care management services… • Medical home expansions in Medicare should focus only on providers who are committed to ensuring that patients truly receive the primary care and care management services... • Providers seeking to participate in a Medicare medical home… should meet a set of stringent service and capacity criteria in order to qualify… and be willing to have additional payments • based in part on the quality of care they deliver.
Other Legislative Initiatives • Senator Durbin (D-IL) and Senator Burr (R-NC) are working together on Patient Centered Medical Home Legislation • The Healthy Americans Act, sponsored by Senator Rob Wyden (D-Oregon) and Senator Bob Bennett (R-Utah) is the first bipartisan health reform proposal in more than a decade to guarantee affordable, healthcare quality for all and includes PCMH. • Senator Baucus’ White Paper is very favorable for Medical Homes. • Economic Stimulus Package includes funding for Health IT infrastructure and primary care workforce shortages. • North Carolina received a 646 waiver to take the Patient Centered Medical Home program to all of Medicare, with estimated savings by the CBO of $1.4 billion.
