1. THE PATIENT-CENTERED MEDICAL HOME: ITS ROLE IN HEALTHCARE REFORM
2. Healthcare Reform (U.S.)
4. Accessibility
Affordability
Sustainability
The contribution of the patient-centered medical home (PCMH) is what it contributes to addressing these issues.
5. Given the shortage of primary care providers, can the PCMH respond to the increased demand for care?
In what ways can the PCMH make care more affordable while maintaining or improving quality?
To what extent can the PCMH help promote sustainable changes in how healthcare is delivered over time?
6. An entity that provides patients with a primary care team that has the capabilities to provide personalized, whole person, coordinated care across conditions, episodes, providers, and settings over time.
Endorsed and supported by the American College of Physicians, the American Academy of Family Physicians, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the American Osteopathic Association
7. Four Cornerstones
10. Payment Reform
11. Accountable Care Organizations
12. Integrated Delivery Systems (Kaiser-{Permanente, Group Health Cooperative of Puget Sound, Henry Ford Health System, Intermountain Health System, Trinity Health System)
Multi-Specialty Group Practices (Mayo Clinic, Billings Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, Virginia Mason, Marshfield Clinic)
Physician Hospital Organizations (Advocate, Middlesex)
Independent Practice Associations (IPAs – Hill Physicians Group, Health Partners in Los Angeles, many others)
“Virtual” Physician Organizations (Community Care of North Carolina, Grand Junction, Colorado, Humboldt County, California)
25. Key Linkage PCMHs are the basic Building blocks for ACOs.
PCMHs are the foundation.
ACOs and PCMHs are synergistic.
28. COLD WATER! Not many physician practices today would meet the standards for becoming a PCMH.
32. What Is the Evidence? Quality of Care, Patient Experience, Care Coordination and Access Are Better
Reductions in ER Visit and Hospitalizations
At Least Cost Neutral
Internationally, Systems with Greater Investment in Primary Care Have Better Health Outcomes at Lower Cost
33. Some Specific Examples Group Health Cooperative of Puget Sound
29% reduction in ER visits; 11% reduction in ambulatory care sensitive admissions versus control sizes
Significantly higher patient experience scores and less staff burnout
No increase in overall cost
Now being implemented in all 26 primary care clinics serving 380,000 patients
34. Some Specific Examples (Cont’d) Community Care of North Carolina
40% decrease in hospitalizations for asthma and 11% lower ER visits
Total savings to Medicaid and SCHIP Programs of $135 million to $400 million
Now involves 1300 community-based practice sites and approximately 4500 primary care clinicians throughout North Carolina
35. Some Specific Examples (Cont’d) Geisinger Proven Health Navigator Model
Statistically significant 14% reduction in hospital admissions relative to control and 9% reduction in total costs at 24 months
Estimated $3.7 million net savings for a ROI of > 2 to 1
Colorado Medicaid and SCHIP
Median annual costs of $785 for PCMH children versus $1000 for controls due to reductions in ER visits and hospitalizations
37. Some Specific Examples (Cont’d) Intermountain Health Care
Absolute reduction of 3.4% in 2 year mortality in comparison with control group focusing on high-risk elderly
10% relative reduction in hospitalizations and even greater among those with chronic illnesses. Net reduction in total costs of $640 per patient per year; $1650 among highest risk patients
Now being implemented in 75 practices in 6 states
39. Patient-Centered Medical Home Design Principles and Change Components PCMH Design Principles
The relationship between the primary care physician and patient is at the core. The organization will align to promote and sustain this relationship.
The primary care physician will be the leader of the clinical team, be responsible for coordination of services, and will collaborate with patients in care planning.
Continuous healing relationships will be proactive and encompass all aspects of health and illness. Patients will be actively informed and encouraged to participate.
Access will be centered on patients’ needs, be available by various modes 24/7, and maximize the use of technology.
Clinical and business systems will align to achieve the most efficient, satisfying, and effective patient experiences.
40. Patient-Centered Medical Home Design Principles and Change Components (Cont’d) Structural and Team Change
41. Patient-Centered Medical Home Design Principles and Change Components (Cont’d) Point-of-Care Changes
42. Patient-Centered Medical Home Design Principles and Change Components (Cont’d) Patient Outreach Changes
43. Patient-Centered Medical Home Design Principles and Change Components (Cont’d) Management Changes
44. PCMHs can be a great source for collaborative education of patients, their families and their clinical team regarding the advances in evidence-based medicine and management. A “home” for continuous learning.
48. Ultimate success of the patient-centered medical home may lie in the aggregate response to the following question
“Is there anything at all that could have gone better today from your point of view in the care that you experienced?”
