Data Driven Care: The Key to Accountable Care Delivery from a Physician Group Perspective Dr. Greg Spencer & Luke Skelley
® Today’s Agenda • Why a regional physician group is heavily investing in analytics and data warehousing • Crystal Run Healthcare’s strategy to turn data into improved care as well as financial viability in the future • How Crystal Run manages across its patient population who are covered by 24 payer entities • Some of the preliminary challenges and successes engaging clinicians in the use of data • The importance of an adaptive data architecture to turn clinician questions into actionable results
® POLL QUESTION #1What best describes the group you belong to?Health PlanPhysician GroupProvider OrganizationVendorOther

® Crystal Run Healthcare • The mission of Crystal Run Healthcareis to improve the qualityand availabilityof, and satisfactionwith, health care services in the communities we serve. To accomplish this goal, the practice emphasizes both traditional medical excellence as well as responsiveness to consumer needs through service excellence and patient empowerment.
® The Goal: The Triple Aim • Improve the health of the population • Enhance the patient experience of care • Reduce, or at least control, the per capita cost of care
® Crystal Run Strategy and Objectives • Embrace goals of Triple Aim • Physicians play a crucial role in driving change in healthcare • Focus on providing coordinated care • Population health management is critical • Competition from hospitals and health plans is occurring • Coverage area is expanding, and needs to expand further • Physicians and their teams need to work together for the best of their patients • A strategic pillar is to be the practice of choice for physicians, patients, and employees
® Crystal Run Governance Model joint clinical and financial governance model • Establish data warehouse priorities • Set policies for data access, information security and privacy • Develop process for setting data definitions and standards • Coordinate with Partners eCare leadership Hal Teitelbaum, MD, JD, MBA Managing Partner & CEO edw executive sponsors Greg Spencer, MD Chief Medical & Chief Medical Info Officer Michelle A. Koury, MD Chief Operating Officer Mary DeFreitas Chief HR Officer Erlene Washington Senior VP of Finance & Accounting edw governance Jonathan Nasser, MD Medical Director Greg Spencer, MD CMO & CMIO Miguel HernandezTechnology Director Lou Cervone BI Director EDW Steering Committee
® Crystal Run Care Management Strategies • Embedding Care Managers at different offices, medical homes and hospitals • Identify high-risk patients from registries and PCP/ team referral • Implement evidence based protocols • Use EHR and mobile / home devices
® Crystal Run Quality Structure 27 divisions each headed by its own physician specialist Manage quality efforts and information Work with Best Practice Council (quality committee) to define registries Report to practice-level committee for quality and patient safety
® Why Crystal Run is heavily investing in analytics and data warehousing
® POLL QUESTION #2If you are a health plan, physician group, or provider organization, do you currently exchange clinical and claims data with these other constituents?
® Crystal Run Data Analytics Strategy • Implementing formal quality improvement methodology • Implementing EDW with multiple data sources • Implementing analytical applications • Daily financial reporting • Order tracking: In-house vs. Sent out • Claims Data Integration • RVUs Standardization
® Crystal Run Analytics Current State • Quality improvements heavily dependent upon data • Using simple analytical tools – Excel, Access, Tableau • Time and effort spent on manual data entry and extraction is excessive and poorly scalable • Decisions about what data to use based on amount of disruption vs. value • Data entry/analysis not done at Top of Licensure • Reporting quality metrics resource intensive – kept it simple

® Crystal Run Results • Reduced hospital admissions 4+% in one year • Improved mammogram rates from 60-65% to greater than 75% • Achieved less than 9% rate of A1Cs > 9 • Blood pressure control in hypertensive patients improved to greater than 75%.

® A Culture Of Efficiency: Improving Access • 41,823 fewer visits • 30,206 more patients • “Created” 12 physicians

® Managing patient populations across payer entities
® Crystal Run’s payer mix • 24 Payer Entities • No dominant payer, so little to no leverage for discounts, etc. • No dominant payer, so payers need to contract with Crystal Run to effectively do business in the area • Complicates data analysis due to limited population/statistics by payer
® Payer Challenges • Having data-focused payer conversations about shared savings • Need claims data to support risk contracting • Multiple payers limits ability to do valid statistical modeling • Collaborating with multiple plans to develop shared savings model
® Living in Two Worlds • Improvements in quality reduces costs to benefit of payer • Reduction in patient visits offset by increase in patient volume • Hospitals acquisition of physicians not based on value but to protect referrals • Triple Aim is a threat to hospitals • Hospitals have to align optimal patient care vs. optimal reimbursement
® Clinician Engagement: Challenges & Successes
® Clinician Engagement • Data used in physician recruitment and retention • Data also used to support alignment and/or acquisition decisions • Sharing physician performance data helps affect behavior even if no penalty or not tied to a quality effort • Sharing physician data makes outliers come to consensus • Not all physician practices focus on value • Younger physicians sometimes avoid change more than older ones
® It’s All About the Data The limitation is data. The doctors need performance data They have metrics to measure care ~ 80% of Business Intelligence’s time spent gathering versus analyzing data 90/10 of data capture time to analysis time.
® Crystal Run EDW Requirements • Fast to implement and fast to ROI • Capable of easily expanding to add new data sources • Library of analytical applications • Vendor with healthcare experience and expertise • Data model conducive to healthcare data • Ability to become self sufficient • Long term business partner
