Patient Centered Medical Home • The Collaborative believes…the patient centered medical home will improve the health of patients and the viability of the health care delivery system. • Employers, consumers, patients, clinicians and payers agree that it is essential to support a better model of compensating clinicians. • Compensation under the PCMH model would incorporate: • Enhanced access and communication • Improved coordination of care • Rewards for higher value • Expanded administrative and quality innovations and • Promote active patient and family involvement. • PCMH will improve the quality of care delivered and help control the unsustainable rising costs of healthcare for both individuals and plan sponsors. • Clinicians have agreed to the following Joint Principles for patient-centered primary care: • Option to develop an ongoing relationship with a personal physician; • Physician-directed medical practice; • Whole person orientation; • Coordinated care across the health system; • Ongoing, voluntary pursuit of quality and safety; • Enhanced access to care; and • Payment recognizing the value added.
Value-based Insurance Design • “Supply side” service delivery financing promotes fragmented visits to multiple providers • A VBID approach targets people (including their co-morbid conditions) • To provide “demand side” incentives for a coordinated system of targeted and effective treatments. • VBID naturally aligns with initiatives such as the patient-centered medical home and electronic medical records.

Health & Productivity Focus for Patient-centered Medical Home • Recognize employers are a critical part of healthcare • Provide 60% of coverage/workplace funds 55% of total costs • Demonstrate the nexus between the Physican, patient, employer funder, and “value,” broadly defined • Patient-centric – not just medical needs • Quality of life Includes work/family life – healthy/active • Clearly align PCMH / VBID with health-related productivity enhancement that’s truly important to Payor • support for better coverage • Demonstrates that medical care/prevention are an investment in workers, not a cost to be avoided or shifted • Huge long-term impacts on post-retirement medical costs and quality of life from focusing on obesity
Challenges to Health & Productivity • Effective education/Information • Credible measurement/Shared understanding • Speaking in C-Suite’s language • Showing it as a competitive edge
Strategic Health & Productivity Collaboration • Collaborators: Integrated Benefits Institute (IBI); The American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine (ACOEM); and the Center for Health Value Innovation (CHVI) • Work together to better articulate the value of health and productivity management (HPM) • Working together, we will: • create standardized data and result metrics for value-based health & productivity management • Present educational HPM Clinics to educate and inform employers, insurance brokers and industry consultants on their opportunities to enhance employer competitiveness and health in the community, and concurrently bend cost trends.
Center for Health Value Innovation • CHVI – An information exchange for value-based design - dedicated to sharing the evidence of improved health and economic outcomes through value-based designs for sustainable health and financial improvement. • www.vbhealth.org

Programs in Progress • ACOEM/CHVI/IBI – HPM Clinic for regional brokers and consultants around the country showing them how to bring a competitive edge to clients through health & productivity. • ACOEM/IBI – upcoming meeting of self-reported health information tool developers and users to determine what’s useful about the tools and reports, what should be changed. First stage of subsequent efforts to standardize metrics and measures. • ACOEM/IBI follow-on to JOEM study to assess the impact of drug adherence on health & productivity.
Program in Progress • IBI project with Mark Fendrick to develop a white paper outlining the data and analytical requirements for next-step empirical work to connect VBID to health-related lost time (absence and presenteeism) and lost productivity. • IBI/ACOEM/other thought leaders – Employee health and productivity on the balance sheet. Initial meeting with employers, analysts, consultants, associations to map out a strategy and determine how to proceed. • IBI – Research with John Riedel on how employers are using the variety of self-reported health information tools – how are the tools used, what information is useful, what are the challenges and how may they be avoided.
