Removing The Barriers To Change n Meaningful Measures n Engage Consumers n Engage Hospitals
Three Leaps – 1st Generation n An Rx for Rx –Computer Physician Order Entry (CPOE) –85% serious drug errors prevented –Net cost savings n Practice Makes Perfect –Evidence-based Hospital Referral (EHR) –> 20% mortality reduction for 7 complex treatments n Sick People Need Special Care –ICU Daytime Staffing with CCM Trained M.D. –> 10% mortality reduction –Net cost savings

Leap Refinements – Process n Revised survey ready n All hospitals asked to re-submit in Q2 n New results posted in Q3 & Q4 n Same process on-going
Leapfrog “2 + 6” NQF Group 1 ~ “ORYX” 31 NQF Group 2 8 Measures – Beyond Leapfrog 5 44 Unique Measures: 8 outcomes – infections or r/a mortality 6 volumes – number of procedures or patients 3 structural processes – CPOE, ICU, discharge plans 27 clinical indicators – medication admin, interventions + a number of other structural safe practices measures to create a comprehensive overview of hospital performance.

Engaging Hospitals n Mind –Thousands of press hits –Letters from plans Almost 60% of hospitals in targeted regions fill out survey…30% of all targeted Hospitals
Engaging Hospitals n Mind –Thousands of press hits –Letters from plans n Wallet –Direct –Indirect
Making The Business Case n Determine impact of mechanisms to close net shortfall: –Direct $$ –Intensivist reimbursement –Bonus payments (e.g. x + x%) –Award –Volume shift –Indirect $$ –Cost of capital –Reduced liability/malpractice premiums Pilots underway now…mo re to come!
Measuring Results Missing Appropriate Leaps per Patient (n) per Hospital Stay Appropriate Leaps per Patient (n) per Hospital Stay Σ Σ n n = % Defects “all missing” for non-reporting hospitals Counting down to Zero Make all accountable: plans, purchasers, providers, and patients
