Minnesota Health Reform Timeline 2008 Comprehensive Legislation • Public health investment, SHIP • Market transparency, Quality Rule / PPG • Care redesign and payment reform, HCH • Consumer engagement • Administrative Simplification and HIT 2010 Health Care Delivery System Medicaid Model 2011 Governor Dayton’s Health Reform Structure • Access / Health Insurance Exchange • Care Integration and Payment Reform • Prevention and Public Health • Workforce • Citizens Engagement

  3. Health Care Home A health care home is not: A health care home is: An approach to population clinical care redesign. Primary care clinic that has transformed its services to meet a new set of patient-and family-centered standards that improves patient experience, quality and reduces costs. Foundation to new payment models such as ACO’s. Requires community partnerships to build healthy communities. • A nursing home or home health care. • A restrictive network. • A service that only benefits people living with chronic or complex conditions.

  4. Health Care Home Standards • Access: facilitates consistent communication among the HCH and the patient and family, and provides the patient with continuous access to the patient’s HCH • Registry: uses an electronic, searchable registry that enables the HCH to identify gaps in patient care and manage health care services • Care coordination: coordination of services that focuses on patient- and family-centered care • Care plan: for selected patients with a chronic or complex condition, that involves the patient and the patient’s family in care planning • Continuous improvement: in the quality of the patient’s experience, health outcomes, cost-effectiveness of services

  5. Primary Care Population Based Care Delivery Redesign, What is different?

  6. Patient- and Family-Centered Care at Work We spoke with a physician in a large urban clinic who said that health care home was his “miracle in his practice.” He had left primary care to work at the hospital and had now come back and his practice was totally different, focused on the patients and their families! The power of stories!

  7. Health Care Home Consumers Perspective • Welcoming– Anyone can use, and benefit from, a HCH. • Personalized – A HCH puts you at the center of your health care. • Relationship-based– Your providers and specialists are aware of your health history and your care team works closely with you to improve your health. • Unrestricted– A HCH can help you choose the best provider and specialists for your needs and helps you share information with your care team. • Organized – A HCH coordinates services and shares information to minimize confusion and prevent duplication and gaps in care. • Comprehensive – A HCH is designed to help you meet all of your health care needs, from preventive care and common illnesses, to urgent care and treatment of chronic and complex conditions.

  8. Patient- and Family-Centered Care at Work We spoke with a truck driver from southern Minnesota who described how the HCH had changed his life. He worked out his driving schedule so he could talk with us while on his break. He described the new access standards that let him schedule appointments when he could come, His relationship with his new team, care coordinator & PCP. How he was connected to community resources for weight loss and how his HgbA1C had come down to nearly his goal. He was so thrilled about the change in his life! The power of stories!

  9. What Makes Minnesota’s HCH Approach Unique? • Statewide approach, public/private partnership • Standards for certification all types of clinics can achieve • Support from a statewide learning collaborative • Development of a payment methodology • Integration of community partnerships to the HCH • Outcomes measurement with accountability • Focus on patient- and family-centered care concepts

  10. HCH Certification Updates Certified Clinicians: 1766 Approximately 2 million patients receiving care in a certified HCH. # Certified Clinics: 170 25% of Primary Care Clinics in Minnesota Applicants are from all over the state. Variety of practice types such as solo, rural, urban, independent, community, FQHC and large organizations. All types of primary care providers are certified, family medicine, pediatrics, internal medicine, med/peds and geriatrics.

  11. HCH vs. Disease Management Health Care Home CC Disease Management CM Case manager is often 3rd party vendor Case management is telephonic only Often has no relationship with your primary care doctor Typically fewer than 20% of eligible people opt-in for the service Promotes patient education and involvement Only involved after the patient has a chronic disease • Care Coordinator is a part of the primary care clinic • Coordination is face-to-face, supplemented with phone calls • Is on the same team as your primary care doctor • If you’re a patient at the clinic, you have the benefits of HCH, no need to opt-in • Promotes patient education and involvement • May delay and/or prevent the onset of a chronic disease through preventive care measures

  12. Effectiveness in Medicare Populations • Timely data on patients enabled care coordinators to be most effective • Team-based care, especially those that included pharmacists, appeared to have fewer hospital admissions. • When CC had face-to-face interaction with both the doctor and the patients, cost reductions were more likely to occur “Lessons from Medicare’s Demonstration Projects on Disease Management, Care Coordination, and Value-Based Payment,” Congressional Budget Office, Issue Brief, January 2012

  13. Cost Savings for Families and Payers • Families with children with special health care needs (CSHCN) are less likely to report financial problems if their children receive care in a health care home • Children who received HCH care coordination services had 32% lower out-of-pocket costs than those who did not receive care coordination • Nearly 1/3 of care coordination encounters were found to reduce health service use “Medical Home and Out-of-Pocket Medical Costs for CSCHN,” Pediatrics, Porterfield and DeRigne, October 17, 2011

  14. Evidence for Health Care Home There is now even stronger evidence that investments in primary care can bend the cost curve, with several major evaluations showing that patient centered medical home initiatives have produced a net savings in total health care expenditures for the patients served by these initiatives. • Grumbach and Grundy 2010 • Outcomes of Implementing PCMH Interventions • http://www.pcpcc.net/files/evidence_outcomes_in_pcmh.pdf

  15. What We Know About Care in a Patient & Family-Centered (Health Care) Home: Center for Medical Home Improvement • Patient and family-centered care is increased • Family worry and burden are reduced • Care coordination and chronic condition management lead to: • Reduction in emergency room use • Reduction in hospitalizations • Reduction in redundancy • Efficiency and effectiveness are increased

  16. Parting Thought “ …when we looked across the landscape at what we wanted to buy for our patients, we couldn’t find it.” - Dr. Paul Grundy, IBM; President, Patient-Centered Primary Care Collaborative (PCPCC) Minnesota has defined and is recognizing this transformed, high-value model of primary care so that consumers and purchasers can find it and buy it.
