Medical Home for High Risk Patients: Intensive Outpatient Care Program Diane Stewart, MBA Senior Director Link to the Complex Care Toolkit:

©CQC Agenda 1.What is High-Risk Care Management? 2.How Does it Work? 3.How Do I get Started?

©CQC Where Does this Fit in the Medical Home? Complex Care Mgmt patients with multiple, onging medical and social concerns Case Management patients with acute, time-limited medical needs Disease Management patients with single (or non-complicated) chronic conditions Preventive health wellness support and preventive services for healthy patients

©CQC What is the Intensive Outpatient Care Program? Primary care-based care management for predicted high risk patients.  Trained Care Managers (often RNs) support medically complex patients, working closely with physician practices by focusing on self-management support and behavior change

Case Studies Boeing & Atlantic City Resorts (A. Milstein, P. Kothari) o IOCP in 2 self-funded industries o Capitation fee plus FFS for specialized MD-led teams within 3 Medical Groups (Boeing) and free-standing clinic (Atlantic City) o 18%- 20% net reduction per capita spending vs. propensity matched controls Rural IPA with CA State Employees (A. Glaseroff, L. Nedlan); o Disseminated rural county model within a distinguished IPA inserting RN care managers into 25 private practices o 20% savings in first year o Named “Priority Care” by patient advisory group

©CQC Findings: Priority Care Utilization Metrics Year 1

©CQC Intensive Outpatient Care Model Key Features of the IOCP and Successful Medicare Demonstrations: 1. Target the right patients Predicted high cost: Multiple medical conditions, at risk for hospitalization 2. Provide the right services Patient assessment (including sociobehavioral issues) Face-to-face contact with patients Team-based care Direct access to dedicated care manager Patient-Centered Shared Action Plan Regular, planned, rules-based proactive contact Close interaction with physician(s) Manage care transitions and medications 3. Supported by an organizational infrastructure, including.. Timely information on hospital and ED admissions Behavioral Health back up

Two Staffing Options “Intensivist”“Distributed” Patient referred into specialized primary care practice Patient remains with current primary care practice 1 MD for every 500 patients (includes Medicare) Care Coordinators work with a subset of practices  Ideally, no more than 5 3 Team Members for every MD  3 Care (ex: NP, PA, MA, MSW, LVN, health coach) 1 Care Coordinator per 100 Medicare patients or 200 Commercial patients.  Start with a RN and build the team from there. (ex: NP, PA, RN, MA, MSW, LVN, health coach)

©CQC Dedicated Care Manager Role Establishes Trusting Relationship(s) o Trust created during face-to-face visit o Continuous engagement of patients and providers o Direct access via and phone Takes a longitudinal view (weeks, months, years) toward patient problem solving and patient self-management skills Creates the shared action plan o “What bothers you the most?” Ensures continuity of care and explores overuse o Medication management o Transitions, including specialists

Care Team Patient, PCP, & Care Manager Outreach and Admin Support Specific Services (RT, PT, etc.) Community Services Mental Health Social Services Health Education and Teaching Development Process: 1.Use data on patient needs to build “Dedicated” Team 2.Build linkages to “Designated” resource and services

©CQC Getting Started: Planning 1.“Intensivist” or “Distributed” Model? 2.Identifying Patients:  With continuing, complex medical conditions, at risk for hospitalizations 1.Claims data 2.Physician Referral 3.Interview 15 patients to refine staffing

Learning About Your Patients: What’s getting in the way??

©CQC Getting Started: Seeing Patients Patient Enrollment and Outreach  50 – 70% enrollment when PCP invites the patient Intake Visit (“Supervisit”)  Face to face, ideally with PCP  Holistic Assessment Training and Support  Initial training for care managers  On-going case conferences, ideally with supervising physician
