2. Total Joint Replacement (TJR) has been the most effective treatment for advanced arthritis since the 1970’s Goal of TJR → Quality Results Relieve Pain Restore Function Long Lasting (>25 years) Avoid Complications More than 700,000 TJR’s are currently performed each year

3. INCREASING DEMAND FOR TOTAL JOINT REPLACEMENT Increasing senior population Greater desire for active lifestyle Greater acceptance of TJR by population 700% increase in TJR in the next 20 years

4. INCREASED DEMAND FOR TJR Success Requires: Adequate physician supply More efficient care process Care process must emphasize VALUE QUALITY COST VALUE =

5. VALUE IN TOTAL JOINT REPLACEMENT Reality: Healthcare dollars spent must be controlled and appropriately allocated Allocation must be determined by value of product or service In TJR we must maintain and improve quality, but we must also control costs

6. IOWA HEALTH-DES MOINES COMMITMENT IH-DM committed to meet the increased patient need for TJR Current facilities at IMMC couldn’t meet growing demand for OR’s and patient beds • MWH was designed to emphasize orthopaedic • total joint care dedicating 4 of the 6 OR’s and 50% of the patient beds

7. MWH ORTHOPAEDIC SERVICES Focused, specialized care Mutual project between IH-DM and Des Moines Orthopaedic Surgeons, PC Aligned incentives of both organizations to improve QUALITY and VALUE for our patients “Co-Management” organization was formed to manage the entire process

8. WEST HOSPITAL ORTHOPAEDIC CO-MANAGEMENT COMPANY, LLC The WHOCC oversees the entireorthopaedic service line at MWH emphasizing quality, patient safety & convenience, efficiency and cost containment Equal representation from IH-DM & DMOS Medical Director from DMOS

10. WHOCC BUSINESS MODEL WHOCC GOVERNING BOARD •Oversees all committee activities •Reviews & approves meeting minutes •Makes final decisions

11. WEST HOSPITAL ORTHOPAEDIC CO-MANAGEMENT COMPANY Initial project was to interview and select the following key personnel: Orthopaedic service-line Executive Director Inpatient department Nurse Manager Surgical Services department Nurse Manager Physical Therapy department Manager All personnel are employees of IH-DM

12. WHOCC TEAM REVIEWS AND SETS ALL PROCESSES All physicians expected to comply at MWH No significant exceptions are allowed All physicians are invited and encouraged to participate in the process

13. STANDARDIZED, UNIFORM PROCESSES AND PROCEDURES Rationale: Repetitive, focused process and procedures maximizes efficiency and minimizes the risk of error or oversight. Examples: OR nurses comfortable working with any surgeon due to standardized draping, supplies and instructions Nursing unit care doesn’t vary by physician (common pain management regimen, blood transfusion protocol, dressing, etc…) One standard Physical and Occupational therapy regimen for all surgeons that can be tailored to the individual needs of each patient

14. EXAMPLES OF UNIFORM PROCESSES CREATED AND IMPLEMENTED BY WHOCC Pre-op medical clearance request form Standardized scheduling process and form Pre-op orders Regional anesthesia Demand matching of implants Comprehensive uniform post-op orders, including pre-emptive multi-modal pain management Uniform activity and physical therapy goals

15. WHOCC ACTIVITIES VALUE IN TJR New techniques, equipment and implants must be critically evaluated by hospital and physicians Those new techniques or implants that add cost without significant improvement in quality should be avoided QUALITY COST VALUE =

16. EVALUATION OF NEW TECHNIQUES AND SURGICAL PRODUCTS

17. EVALUATION PROCESS EXAMPLES Floseal→ deny (evidence didn’t support) V-lock suture → confirm (all use) Participated in ‘Draping Boot Camp’ to streamline, trial and standardize surgical drapes → confirm (all use) Surgical prep (Chloraprep) → confirm (all use) Eliminated many trays by developing common instrument sets for all physicians by procedure → confirm (all use) Covaderm Surgical Dressing → future trial Cold therapy/DVT wrap → future trial

22. INCENTIVE STRUCTURE

23. VENDOR NEGOTIATIONS All implants placed in category based on technology Cemented femoral stem Tapered non-cemented stem Revision stem Each category included “substantially similar” implants Target price established by WHOCC All vendors allowed to participate

24. VENDOR NEGOTIATIONS, continued… Implants that meet target price for each category become “preferred” and permitted to use at MWH Use of outliers is strongly discouraged In a few select categories competitive bidding utilized – only one implant from single vendor allowed eg. Modular revision femoral stem (one vendor, one price for all components) eg. Revision segmental hinged knee

25. DEMAND MATCHING All implants categorized by Quality Level and Cost A Level – Lowest cost B Level – Intermediate cost C Level – High cost

26. DEMAND MATCHING cont… Three Patient Variables Considered Patient Age Patient Health Patient EXPECTED activity level

28. DEMAND MATCHING cont… >90% Compliance expected Results are reported by Individual Physician All Physicians Transparency is a great motivator!
