CTC-RI Practicing with Value: Making a Difference in Cost of Care: Reducing In-Patient Admissions
All-Cause Admissions: All CTC-RI Cohorts** Reduced IP Admission Rates vs. Comparison *Includes BCBS-RI, UHC, NHP data. Does not include Medicaid FFS or Medicare FFS data or RHO Dual Eligible NHP members. **Refer to Appendix for list of practices per cohort
All-cause Inpatient Admissions per 1000 Member Months…..CTC Target= 5% Group July '13 – June '14 July '14 – June '15 Difference % Difference Difference Relative to Comparison* (A) (B) (B-A) Comparison 6.9 7.4 0.5 7.0% - CTC Cohort 1 5.8 0.0 0.0% -7.0% CTC Cohort 2 6.6 6.7 0.1 1.0% -6.0% CTC Cohort 3 6.0 0.2 3.3% -3.7% Observation: the longer the practice cohort has been in CTC, the greater the relative reduction in IP admissions …….suggesting that transformation is hard work and takes time.
