Disclosures “I have no relevant financial
relationships with the manufacturer(s) of any commercial products and/or provider of commercial services discussed in this CME activity.”
“I do not intend to discuss an unapproved or investigative use of a commercial product/device in my presentation.”
Objectives
Identify Medical Home adaptations to pediatric practice that support patient-centered care for all, esp.
CYSHCN
Discuss how patient-centered and planned care promotes communication between patients and multiple providers and facilitates all medical transitions
Understand new initiatives that link Medical Home practices to reimbursement
“I want to try that!” ideas
What is a Medical Home? “The Medical Home is the model for 21st
century primary care, with the goal of addressing and integrating high quality health promotion, acute care and chronic condition management in a planned, coordinated and family-centered manner.”
-American Academy of Pediatrics www.pediatricmedhome.org/
“Crossing the Quality Chasm: A New Health System for the 21st Century”
-New Performance Expectations for care that is:
PATIENT-CENTERED SAFE EFFECTIVE TIMELY EFFICIENT EQUITABLE
-Institute of Medicine, Committee on
Quality of Health Care in America, 2001
Quality Chasm Rules for Practice Redesign 1. Care is based on continuous healing relationships
2. Care is customized according to patient needs and values.
3. The patient is the source of control.
4. Knowledge is shared and information flows freely.
5. Decision making is evidence-based.
6. Safety is a system property.
7. Transparency is necessary.
8. Needs are anticipated.
9. Waste is continuously decreased.
10. Cooperation among clinicians is a priority.
“System Changes? I have patients to see!”
One in 5 families has a CSHCN
Survival/Longevity among CSHCN is increasing
Design is for 1 problem in 10 minutes
Retail-based Clinics erode our acute care base
Reimbursement will be linked to system change

Market your Medical Home services
Optimize MD time with Care Coordination
Proper coding for care of CSHCN
Careful attention to charge capture
Contract renegotiations with insurers (data!)
Medicaid Community Care-case management fee pm/pm
NCQA- Physicians’ Practice Connection/Patient Centered Medical Home
Pay-for-Performance Programs
Families want a Medical Home!
Adequate time for the visit promotes appropriate coding
Remember CYSHCN visits often are 99214
Learn to use modifiers
Learn to code for time
Capture all charges Do coding reviews Code for after-hours
Appropriate Coding for Enhanced Care

So how do we get there? Identification of problem
areas Establish explicit goal to
address Break process into tiny
steps Create tools to support
weak spots Try ONE SMALL change Measurement of
improvement (or failure!) Try another test of change
and see if you’re ready to grow that change
BTE,
QI, PPC-PCMH, BTEBQPP, NCQA, PDSA??
Enhanced reimbursement for quality improvements
PLAN-consider a needed improvement
DO-try some SMALL changes to make it better (“test of change”)
STUDY-measure if your changes helped
ACT-refine the process to make it work even better
IMPORTANT…
NCQA CERTIFICATION
is NOT the same as
A Patient-Centered Medical Home
NCQA Certification Process
Pay for Performance program
Promotes processes and information systems to improve patient care
Three levels of incentive payments
Certification by NCQA for 3 years.
