Best Practices- What is the best way to eat an Elephant?
14
Doing What is Best for Their Patients Financial Incentives Competitive Spirit Sentinel Effect What Motivates Physicians?
15
While not Required, it is Extremely Important Implement Integrated Full Feature EHR Problems, Medications, Allergies, Labs, History, Etc. Need Discrete Data Populated Need to Determine Who is Accountable Attribute Patients to Provider Medicare QIO Measure Up Pressure Down Begin Reporting Quality Measures What gets Measured get s Improved Report Measures Monthly Utilize Medicare Wellness Visit and Transition Care Management Payments to Fund Team Expansion Utilize Team Approach It will Never be Complete Don’t wait until Everything is Done Operational Changes and Preparations
16
Develop Strategy and Structure for Reporting Quality Measures Develop Purpose Get Physician Leaders Involved Establish Clear Measurable Objectives Create Appropriate Incentives Make Objectives Easy to Accomplish Provide Doctors with Resources Have Staff do as Much as Possible Educate Everyone on Staff Celebrate Small Successes and Praise Champions
17
Develop Strategy and Structure for Reporting Quality Measures Elaborate systems and HIE are not required Utilize team approach-Leverage IT, clinical Staff and coders Use CMS provided Excel templates Structured data in EHR helps Some clinical data will need to be abstracted from unstructured notes Claims data is very useful to determine where preventive services are being performed to request reports and “backfill” data in to the EHR or paper record Be ready to start data collection January 13 th, 2014 when CMS will provide your GPRO patient list Decide ahead of time whether you will be using XML upload or manually entry into GPRO WI tool 17
18
EHR and Reporting Tools Allscripts Enterprise E H R Allscripts Clinical Quality Actionable at Point-of-care (For all contracts and populations) Saves provider and staff time searching thru chart Easy to use and train EHR serves as the main data repository for the data Can integrate with multiple EMRs

Best Practices Provide clinical and system resources Communication Train and educate everyone in the medical group on Quality Measures; key to success Provide hands on training to help staff input, review and coordinate measure reporting Promote Annual Wellness Visits for ACO patients Develop and Present monthly “scorecards” to create healthy competition among providers and staff Share best practices and lessons learned across clinical locations Decide ahead of time whether you are focusing on completion rates or measure performance- Oversampling Counts! Module Completion rates are calculated by successfully completing data on at least 411 patients Measure performance is calculated on data completed for all patients- Oversampling may increase measure rates 2013 GPRO is Pay for Reporting

Measurement and Improvement of Preventive Health Within an ACO Sara Falkiewicz
27
Background 475 Physicians, 121 Allied Health in ACO – PCPs 31 percent (33% independent) – Specialists 69 percent (83% independent) – Independent 66 percent – Employed 34 percent – Allied Health Members 121 Represent approximately 20 specialties – No Behavioral Health, Anesthesiology 50%/50% between Health System, IPA
28
Background Health System – 19 primary care and specialty clinics – 2 hospitals One medium size teaching hospital One small community hospital – Joint Ventures Ambulatory Surgery Center Rehabilitation Hospital of Wisconsin – Continuum Home Health, Hospice, Senior Center
29
Background ProHealth Solutions – Formed January 1, 2011 – MSSP Program July 1, 2012 – 15,000+ Attributed Beneficiaries
30
Preventive Metrics Influenza Pneumococcal BMI and Blood Pressure Screening/Follow Up Tobacco Screening/Intervention Colorectal and Breast Cancer Depression Screening
31
Strategy and Structure to Report Strong history of clinical reporting – Health System Medical Group Voluntarily submitting electronically gathered patient level data to state collaborative (WCHQ) since 2006 – Currently at 32 measures Immunization, tobacco, cancer screening – Independent Physician Association Measuring at a physician level since late 90’s in a manual fashion – As of 2012 had been running almost 200 metrics Immunization, tobacco, cancer screening
32
PHS Information Technology Timeline Secure electronic capabilities for each member practice Secure comprehensive electronic capture of clinical and administrative data Epic EMR, Patient Registries, Data Warehouse Electronically connect members for population management and organization performance 32
33
Obtaining Data Started With: – Multiple EMR’s – 20+ Individual Billing Systems End With: – One monster warehouse – 83% of providers on Epic – Balance on other EMR or SharePoint
34
How to Report: Technical
35
How to Report: Literal Studied each measure specification Identified impacted clinical workflows, and if discrete data was available (or not) Prioritized EMR documentation build projects based on metric needs Validation and test process for each metric Engage physicians in reporting manually if needed
36
Reporting Challenges Immunizations – Capturing out-of-clinic administrations – WIR – Wisconsin Immunization Registry BMI and Blood Pressure Screening/Follow Up – Doing the screening, couldn’t discretely capture the follow up – SmartText in Epic
37
Reporting Challenges Colorectal and Breast Cancer Screening – Capturing out-of-ACO procedures – Accurate documentation of exclusions Mastectomies, Colostomies Depression Screening – Had to identify a single tool – Rolling out in primary care, adding to rooming process
38
Reporting Challenges Physician assignment – Specialty versus primary care: “actionable” – Movement of physicians in and out of ACO Resources and Organizational “Breadth” – Preparation for ICD-10 – Meaningful Use quality measures – Increase in commercial payor metrics – Pressure from specialists for metrics more applicable to their practice
39
Strategy and Structure to Improve Develop a shared vision – Education Measure definitions Documentation requirements Supporting clinical evidence
40
Strategy and Structure to Improve Mobilize – During visit activity Utilize medical record decision support – Due date calendar – Easy-to-access orders Scheduling of testing outlined in care plan and next steps for patient – Outside of visit activity Searching charts for old or incorrectly documented testing Telephone, letter, and patient portal outreach communication
41
Strategy and Structure to Improve Monitor – Monthly data provided to leaders and clinicians Overall rate, numerator and denominator Patient-level detail on patients missing care or documentation
42
Monitoring Tool: Visual Reports
