  5. Compensation should be driven by Quality • Less event-driven care means lower costs and higher quality • HEDIS and CAHPS becoming ever more important in purchasing decision • Improved outcomes drive lower costs for • the Patient • the Payer • the Employer/Purchaser • Lower costs can fund incentives

  6. Essential Components for Effective P4P • Clinical Staff to manage the process • Coordinate with the practices • Outreach to the patients • Establish treatment goals • Effective web based connectivity with the practices • Registry of patients needing preventive care • A meaningful incentive program • Clear • Specific • Measurable

  7. People, Processes and Technology In the right combination…produces • Improved HEDIS Scores • RMMC managed program has consistently produced HEDIS scores in 90th percentile nationally • Demonstrated cost reductions for payer • Validated by third party actuarial firm • Lower Readmissions • Less Event Driven Care • Better Outcomes • Slowing the progression of risk scores

  8. Patient Centric Quality Incentive Model • Physician Coordination • Quality Improvement Committee • Regional Medical Directors • Health Services teams • Web-based tools • Quality Program • Developed by physicians and Plan • Updated annually • Clinical Nurse Outreach • Follows physician’s plan of treatment • Coordinates with patient and caregivers • Web-based tools to manage plan • Chronic Care Management • Care modules to improve outcomes • Reduce event-drive episodes • Reduce readmissions • Educate patients for self-management • Incentive Program • Clear • Transparent • Actionable • Effective Pay for Performance Physicians Patient Payers Lower Costs, Higher Quality

  9. Role of the Organization • Education • Physician Leadership • Technology development • Patient Services: nursing support team • Physician office support • Program development and administration • Data management • Contracting

  10. Education • Pay for Participation • 2-3 Learning Sessions per year • 3 Regional Physician Group meetings each year • Result sharing and feedback from peers • Chronic Care Model: teamwork and tools • QI processes • Leadership development

  14. RMMC Enhancement Program • Includes HMO members that are formally associated with a PCP office • Also includes PPO members that are identified by a validated algorithm we developed • Penetration of over 20% in most of our offices • Earnings represent about a 10% increase in overall compensation

  15. Diabetes Measures • Began with just an enhancement for measuring glycohemoglobin • Now includes a composite measure of glycohemoglobin under 7, LDL under 100, and urinary micro albumin measured and treated if abnormal • Separate measure for blood pressure under 130/80

  16. Other Measures • CAD: LDL <100, on BB and ACEI/ARB’s where appropriate • CHF: BP <130/80, on BB and ACEI/ARB’s • Colorectal Cancer Screening • Breast Cancer Screening

  17. Program Supports • Patient Services nurses working with a Diabetes specific module • Regular physician meetings with Patient Services with patient identification • Active use of reports available through the PMT to identify patients missing data and patients not at goal • Learning Sessions on starting insulin and on treating statin intolerant patients

  18. Program Supports • Learning Sessions on talking to patients about changing their health behaviors • Referral to community resources including hospital based CDE programs • Regular regional doctor meetings with result sharing • Review of specific patient’s treatment with regional medical directors • Team meetings in offices to discuss progress amongst doctors and staff

  24. Results from Diabetes Program RMMC is an IPA in SE PA, using the tools and processes and pay for results model, the IPA has consistently delivered superior HEDIS results

  25. …and Lower Disease Burden Progression-Diabetic Patients Well managed patients can lower the disease burden over time. In this case the population of the IPA had a higher disease burden in 2005 than the cohort group, while the progression of the risk scores would be expected with increasing age, the rate can be slowed by effective management reducing the event driven care, complications and intensity of the disease.
