ACO Population Health: Raising the Bar Along the Journey

Participation in ACOs – In the Beginning
Healthcare changing to stronger patient, quality focus Emphasizes a team approach focusing on measurable quality, rather than quantity. Certification relies on meeting several criteria: extended access, care management, follow-up, performance reporting, electronic prescribing, etc. Patient Centered Medical Home Accountable Care Organizations Meaningful Use Emphasizes using Electronic Health Records (EHR) to improve the quality of health care. E-prescribing, improving coordination through electronic exchange, quality reporting, engaging patients and providing privacy and security are all requirements to incentivize providers. Emphasizes coordination as a way to improve the quality of health care. Groups of health care providers form ACOs to better coordinate their efforts, the model ties reimbursement to quality metrics and cost reduction. Patient

ACO Quality Measures: Not the Same
Medicare 33 quality measures in 2014 34 quality measures in 2015 (7 new, 6 discontinued) Wellmark 18 quality measures Iowa Health & Wellness 2 priority measures in 2014 18 quality measures in 2015 (same as Wellmark)

Population Health – Two Successful Strategies
Reducing 30-day Readmissions Care Model development LACE scoring Managing patients at high risk Integration of External Health Risk Assessments HRA Workflow Using the HRA as a foundation for the problem list Building a common HRA
8
Reducing 30-Day Readmissions
9
Reducing 30-day Readmissions
Development of a Care Model for Transitions ID those at greatest risk during the inpatient stay Multidisciplinary huddle to facilitate discharge planning & resources needed Follow-up call within 2 business days of discharge Provider visit within 7 days, 14 days, or 30 days Care management follow-up HIM tools LACE built to auto calculate Reports to track success along the way

Care Model for Transitions of Care
11
Acuity of the admission Co-morbidities
What is LACE? Length of stay Acuity of the admission Co-morbidities Emergency Department visits in the previous 6 months 0-4: low risk 5-8: moderate risk 9+: high risk

LACE Calculation inside EPIC
Inpatient List Flagged LACE Details Accessible in a Flowsheet

Tracking Progress: High Risk Visits in 7 Days

15
Tracking Progress: 30-Day Readmission Rates
Medicare All Cause Readmissions 2012: 15.03% 2013: 14.62% *Lower is better Wellmark Potentially Preventable Readmissions 2013: 38.5 2014*: 39.4 *Through October paid claims Higher is better - Percentile comparison

Integration of External Health Risk Assessments
17
Integration of External HRAs
All patients should have a Health Risk Assessment reviewed annually by the PCP Internal HRA vs. External HRA Providers have preferred HRA survey/questions Some Payors mandate use of their HRA – Medicaid is the first Value of the HRA review Providers get to know “total patient” Guides active problem list Useful in determining the patient’s risk score

Sample External HRA

Sample HRA, Section 2
20
Development of HRA Workflow
Collaboration with HIM for special identification in EMR
21
Development of HRA Workflow
Building a Best Practice Alert for Primary Care Providers
22
Development of HRA Workflow
Build in automatic PCP billing notification after HRA is reviewed
23
Use of HRA as Foundation for Problem List
Identify conditions and other social determinants needing further evaluation for care plan support Engagement of the patient in lifestyle modifications and goal setting conversations Accurate problem list and detailed documentation supports IDC10 coding The more accurate the diagnosis coding, the more accurate the patient’s health risk score Population health goal is to proactively manage care to impact a lower cost associated with the health risk score
