  1. AAPHP Preventive Services Toolkit Planning -- selecting problems to address -- selecting interventions AAPHP PSTK Planning

  2. Teaching Objectives • Address preventive services from a policy perspective • Understand how best to select problems to address and select packages of interventions • Understand coding and reimbursement for clinical preventive services • List and locate software and other tools for planning and evaluation • Understand how statistical approaches to planning and evaluation differ from research AAPHP PSTK Planning

  3. Policy and Management Issues from a Healthcare Perspective - 1 • Many preventive services are considered social or educational – not medical services • Counseling services are often seen as “soft” and ineffective • Some preventive services not reimbursed as clinical services • Most are unrelated to current chief complaints AAPHP PSTK Planning

  4. Policy and Management Issues from a Healthcare Perspective -2 • Some are best provided on a community, rather than clinical, basis • Benefits may be indirect and therefore difficult to quantify • Benefits may only accrue to a percentage of recipients, and therefore be difficult for staff to recognize • Return on investment (both health-related and fiscal) are often delayed AAPHP PSTK Planning

  5. Benefits of Preventive Services • Improve health outcomes • Improve compliance with regulatory and accreditation guidelines • Reduce healthcare costs • Reduce absenteeism • Improve job performance (of patients) • Increase satisfaction by all stakeholders • Improve the community’s perception of the local healthcare system AAPHP PSTK Planning

  6. Initiating a Preventive Services Plan • Acceptance of bright ideas, innovations, local preference or opportunity   • Analysis of  practice diagnosis-specific treatment data • Regulatory and accreditation guidelines  • Community Diagnosis per outcome of COPC process AAPHP PSTK Planning

  7. Implementing Preventive Services • Select the problem and/or the intervention • Select population(s) to be served • Consider the Evidence • Define the • Package of interventions • Baselines and benchmarks • Secure authorization and resources • Advocate, Implement, Evaluate AAPHP PSTK Planning

  8. Accreditation • Immunization – child, adolescent, adult • Cancer screening – breast and colon • Chlamydia screening • Smoking cessation • Prenatal and postnatal care AAPHP PSTK Planning

  9. Evidence Based Interventions • High Priority Health Conditions • Diabetes • Obesity • Heart Disease and Stroke • Asthma • Cancer • Physical Inactivity and Poor Nutrition • Tobacco Use\Youth Risk Taking AAPHP PSTK Planning

  10. Planning Datasets • Demographics and other data from state and local health departments • Billing data • Medical records data • Opinion/perception data • Focus-group-like sessions with patients and staff • COPC process • Newly gathered statistical data – interviews and survey techniques AAPHP PSTK Planning

  11. Establish Baselines, Benchmarks and Objectives By Sub-Population • Define sub-populations • Determine baselines from local data • Identify benchmarks from reference documents • Determine health outcome goals and objectives AAPHP PSTK Planning

  12. Coding and Reimbursement - 1 • Some clinical preventive services are reimbursable, others are not • Which ones are reimbursable varies with health plan • Many physicians and administrators not aware available codes to secure Medicare and other reimbursement AAPHP PSTK Planning
