1 Methods and Advantages of Combining HOS and Your Organization’s Data to Improve Quality and Performance Richard D. Hector, MA, MPH, PhD Health Services Advisory Group Medicare Advantage Quality Measurement & Performance Assessment Training Conference Baltimore MD April 8 – 9, 2008

2 Goal Demonstrate the advantages of linking HOS and Medicare Advantage Organization data to identify quality and performance results that support improvements in health-related quality of life

3 This could happen to you… On a great Monday morning after a wonderful weekend, you’re at your desk and ready to start a project that you had on the back burner. Your boss returns from a conference and is very excited about some results that were presented. Your boss wants you to replicate the results with your in- house data.

4 BMI, Physical Activity, and Health Care Utilization/Costs among Medicare Retirees Wang et al. Obesity Research, 2005, 13(8) Fig. 1 * Controlled: gender, age, major diseases, chronic diseases, overall health risks

5 Link HOS to Plan Data Use HIC or SS numbers to merge data sets Plan HOS Data are simulated

6 Cardinal Health Plan Data are simulated

7 Cardinal Health Plan Data are simulated

8 Total Cost (simulated) by BMI and PCS Data are simulated

9 PCS by BMI and General Health Data are simulated

10 Comorbidity by BMI and General Health Data are simulated

11 Comorbidity, PCS and General Health Data are simulated

12 Comorbidity, PCS and BMI Data are simulated

13 Advantages of HOS Data HOS unique identifier for linking to in-house data Outcomes are calculated Well-being items validated * PCS * MCS * Healthy Days * General Health * Chronic Diseases * Urinary Incontinence

14 More Advantages of HOS Data Trained interviewers Established sampling protocol Generalize to population of plan Check results against other States (e.g. public use files) Collaboration with persons outside of your organization without jeopardizing confidentiality Large sample size (power)

15 HOS Program Timeline – HOSonline.org Annual baseline sample Two-year follow-up of baseline Year 1 January – March: Prepare survey, select sample, prepare interviewers April – July: Field survey for baseline & follow-up cohorts August – December: Clean, validate & score data Year 2 January – March: Manage and analyze data April –August: Prepare and disseminate data files, reports and data user guides

16 Quality Improvement Rationalizations (part 1) Boat et al., February 6, 2008 JAMA 299 (5) p. 570 Too busy to do anything more Cannot afford it Different approach already in place Already in the top quartile or top 10% Need more and better people Do not get paid for quality

17 Quality Improvement Rationalizations (part 2) Boat et al., February 6, 2008 JAMA 299 (5) p. 570 Quality improvement ideas cannot be applied to medicine because patients are heterogeneous Medical care is relational work requiring reflective professional practice Lack of knowledge about how to make changes in system Medical center is a teaching hospital Medical center is not a teaching hospital

18 Feedback from MA Plans (part 1)  Without a change in processes, beneficiaries experience similar outcomes  The period (interview to data dissemination) encourages focus on process rather than variation due to special causes  In-house project would have a similar duration (without the advantages) Data is outdated

19 Feedback from MA Plans (part 2) Your beneficiaries are sicker or different than patients in the survey  Link to your in-house data and customize the data to your beneficiaries Issues to consider with providers  Providers witness the bad effects of processes  Beneficial effects become part of the background  Data-driven processes will have credibility with providers

20 Summary The HOS is a rich data set. It can be used to show how quality and performance of care affect the health-related quality of life of patients enrolled in Medicare Advantage Organizations. HOS data files are available to any researcher through de-identified public use files. However, when linked to in-house data, they can be a valuable resource. Plans can measure not only the effect of quality and performance on the health-related quality of life of patients, but also determine their effect on expenditures. Since patients interviewed are a representative sample, policies to improve quality and performance can be evaluated knowing they affect all patients
