Overview Who and What? –Define patient population –Describe home-based primary care model (HBPC) Impact on Quality and Costs –Effect of HBPC on experience of frail elders and caregivers –Effect on per capita Medicare costs –Recent studies and IAH Demonstration project What’s Next? –How can allies and policymakers help? 2

Mission- HBPC and IAH TARGETED- 2 million ill and high-cost patients (age ) –5% with severe, chronic illness  expend nearly 50% of budget Interdisciplinary, mobile primary care teams- 24/7, across settings, coordinate ALL medical and social services Enhance health and dignity of frail elders, peace of mind for CGs, lower per capita costs IAH model makes HBPC more scalable Strict criteria for eligible patients and high bar for program service quality Pay savings only after 5% reduction in per capita Medicare costs Link savings to six relevant quality metrics- 80% to provider if 6/6 on metrics

69 year old with liver and heart failure, depression, falls, caregiver burden –SIX admissions in 2011 in CO/AZ (6 admits/ patient year) 2011: Daughter moved Mom to D.C. zip code to gain entry to HBPC program 2011 to 2016: –Terminal diagnosis of Liver CA reversed –Over 150 house calls, social services, home aides –Urgent same-day visits, Home X-rays, EKG, Echo, and wound care –Life-saving Radiology procedure in ICU in August, 2014 –TWO admissions in 4 years (0.5 admits/patient year) 1 ER Visit in 4 years Patient- Carolyn B.

HBPC Core Services- What is Possible? Home-based primary care (HBPC) -- Routine and urgent visits ER: Coordinate transitions Coordinate subspecialty and mental health care Direct Hospital Care 24/7 on-call medical staff Inpatient acute and subacute rehab Hospice services Mobile Phlebotomy Home Radiology, EKG, Echo Pharmacy/DME Delivery Skilled Home Health - PT/ OT/RN Transportation- Ambulance or Wheelchair van Mobile Electronic Health Record (EHR) / Health Information Exchange Social Services- Coordinate aides, daily supports, Caregiver support and training

7 “The House Call Program saved my mom’s life and mine. It restored my faith in the health care system, and gave my mom and me encouragement and support every day. The good days, hours, and moments I have with my mother are the result of the excellence, tireless passion, and commitment of those who created, support, and sustain the House Call Program” – Sylvia Trujillo (Dtr.)

PROVEN- VA, FFS, IAH Demo VA (n = 9,425) –Highest satisfaction in VA- 83% outstanding –VA + Medicare costs- 12% lower per capita FFS Study- D.C. (722 cases, 2161 controls) –High similar mortality (16.2 vs months) –Medicare cost reduction of 17% ($4,200/patient year) IAH Medicare Demo present (n= 8,400) –Mid-Atlantic Consortium- 20% cost reduction ($1,016/ pt/month) –9 of 17 programs paid savings (6-31% per capita- Mean 17%) –Year 1- $25M saved, $12M to providers June 11,

Challenges / Keys to Success Skilled Workforce Recruit, train, and pay best talent  Build team culture Grow teams to serve 1 Million over next 10 years- IAH-Qualified –1 medical provider / 200 patients  5000 providers Practice capacity to support HBPC teams ALL service partners, Mobile IS support, Daily Operations, Efficient billing/scheduling, Data Analytics for outcomes Health Systems commit to value-based model –Data- Prove the value to patients, systems, and payors –Congress /CMS- align incentives to reward HBPC and savings June 11,

How can allies and policymakers help? Senate Finance, House WM/ EC  IAH national program Link savings to relevant quality metrics -- For this population CMS –Target ill and high-risk patients - Persistent high-cost –Fair, rigorous criteria for new IAH practices  Preserve quality –Use fully risk-adjusted methods for outcomes analysis June 11,
