Advanced Illness and End of Life Care: The IOM Perspective

Advanced Illness Care

“Occurring when one or more conditions become serious enough that general health and functioning decline, and treatments begin to lose their impact.

The process that continues to the end of life.”

-Coalition to Transform Advanced Care

Trends & Background

Aging

Americans over age 65

9% in 1960

20% in 2050

Growing ethnic and cultural diversity

Disease Burden

Multiple chronic conditions

2/3 of people over 65

New cancer cases

45% increase from 2010 2030

Alzheimer’s disease and dementias

5.5 million in 2010 8.7 million in 2030

Parkinson’s disease

Prevalence to double in the next 30 years.

Care

People dying in acute care hospitals

Deaths in nursing homes

and hospice

• # of Americans needing long-term care: more than double by 2050 • Medicare deaths in acute care hospitals: 33% 2000 25% in 2009• Growing number of deaths in nursing homes• Hospice care: 1995, 17% of US deaths 2011, 45% • By 2011, 85% hospitals with 300+ beds had palliative care services

Costs

Medicare spent 28 percent of 2011 spending, or about $170 billion, on patients’ last six

months of life.

Decision-Making

40% of adult medical inpatients incapable of making their own treatment decisions

Among nursing home residents, 44-69% cannot make their own medical decisions

70% of decedents aged 60 and older who faced treatment decisions in the final days of their lives were incapable of participating in these decisions

Care Delivery

Cover provisions for individuals nearing end of

life

Provide access to palliative care,

with an integrated team

Publically report quality and cost

measures

Comprehensive Care• Seamless, patient-centered,

family-oriented, high-quality, integrated

• Accessible 24/7• Considers physical,

emotional, social, and spiritual needs

• Consistent with individuals’ values, goals, and informed preferences

Care delivery organizations

Government health insurers

Care delivery organizations

Care delivery organizations

Specifically for Children:

• Need clinical practice guidelines and protocols for palliative, end-of-life, and bereavement care that meet the needs of children and families.

Proposed Core Components of Quality EoL Care

• Frequent assessment of patient’s physical, emotional, social, and spiritual well-being

• Management of emotional distress • Offer referral to expert-level palliative care • Offer referral to hospice if the patient has a prognosis of 6 months or less • Management of care and direct contact with patient and family for

complex situations by a specialist level palliative care physician• Round-the-clock access to coordinated care and services• Management of pain and other symptoms• Counseling of patient and family • Family caregiver support• Attention to the patient’s social context and social needs• Attention to the patient’s spiritual and religious needs• Regular personalized revision of the care plan and access to services

based on the changing needs of the patient and family

Clinician Patient Communication

In a national survey, clinicians asked for patients’ preferences in medical decisions only

about ½ the time.

25% of patients reported that their clinician failed to share important information about

their test results or medical history with others involved in their care

Develop

Adopt

Tie to reimbursement

Facilitate tying to reimbursement,

licensing, credentialing

Quality Standards encouraging: • Individuals to

participate in decision-making

• Clinicians to initiate conversations

• Clinicians to revisit discussions

Research and Information Sharing

Research Needs

• Prevalence and nature of care that is neither beneficial nor wanted.

• Effect of palliative care on longevity.

• Elements of palliative care likely to offer the greatest improvements in quality of life.

• Evidence-based measures of quality end-of-life care.

• Family caregivers’ roles, needs, behavior, health risks, success in performance, interaction with other members of the health care team, and use of respite care and other support services.

• Reliable approaches to prognosis that start earlier in the disease trajectory, and assessment of whether more accurate prognoses. lead to improvements in quality of life and other outcomes of care.

• Effects and value of specific types of clinical innovations in delivering end-of-life care.

Research needs for children

• Comparative effectiveness studies of different approaches to symptom management and bereavement support.

• Analyses of care received in emergency departments, outpatient settings, and hospices and through home health agencies.

• Cohort studies examining the effect of palliative care on outcomes and on the patient experience.

• Studies of how best to staff, manage, and finance hospital-based pediatric palliative and community-based pediatric hospice services.

Public Education and Engagement

People don’t speak with loved ones about end of life wishes because…

Too many other things to worry about right now.

Don’t want to think about death or dying.

Family member did not want to discuss it.

2014 IOM Report: Dying in America

Shared decision making encompasses:

• Eliciting and understanding the patient’s perspective;

• Understanding the patient’s psychosocial and emotional context;

• Developing a shared understanding of the clinical problem and its appropriate treatment, given the patient’s goals, preferences, and values; and

• Empowerment, which is achieved through active involvement of patients in decision making.

LeBlanc, T. W., and J. A. Tulsky. In press. Communication with the patient and family. In Oxford textbook of palliative medicine, 5th ed., edited by N. Cherney, M. Fallon, S. Kaasa, R. Portenoy, and D. Currow. Oxford, England: Oxford University Press.

This description is useful, but we need

more detail for folks with advanced

illness…

To get to shared decision-making and planning

requires (for persons with advanced illness)…

1. …a shift from a primary focus on goals of

medical care, to a thoughtful exploration and

clarification of personal goals and values;

2. …a specific exploration of fears and concerns

as well as gaps in knowledge and

understanding;

3. …a realization that this not just about the

individual but also about the individual’s

“family” and community relationships.

When Care Planning uses this person-

centered, shared decision-making model,

it can tie the clinical and the community

together in two important, related ways…

Through a common:

1. process and structure of planning and decision

making; and,

2. ethical footing.

A Common Process and Structure for

Share Decision-Making

• Focused on the person and family perspectives,

the planning and any decision that follow

centers around a single, key question: How do

the explored values and goals of the person and

family, tied to the clinical realities, help define

what it means to provide good care for this

person?

• To thoughtfully answer this question requires

the intentional input and contribution of the

person, those closest to this person, their

broader community, and the clinical.

The Shared Ethical Basis:

Care Relationships

The ethical footing of this approach is the ethic of

caring relationships:

Relationship Ethical Value

Health professional/patient Beneficence…acting in the best interest of the patient

Individual/family or loved ones Love

Individual/community Respect, Sanctity of Life

The Respecting Choices® Model

This model is a systematic approach to care planning

that uses person-centered, shared decision-making

decision making and is designed to:

1. Provide a standardized process for care planning

that may be used in both the clinical and

community settings;

2. Build care planning into the routine of all care;

3. Create processes so care plans are stored,

revisited, and communicated so that they are

always available and up-to-date;

4. Prepare both patients and their appointed

surrogates to make decisions when the time arises;

5. Improve care and outcomes for all involved.

Helping Community and Health

Organizations Implement this Model

• Respecting Choices has created a

implementation pathway that provides a means

for health organizations to develop this care

planning approach so that it can become part of

the routine of care and can be integrated into

community engagement.

• RC has been successfully implemented in 5

countries and over 120 health organizations in

the USA.

The Care of the PatientFrancis W. Peabody, MD, JAMA 1927

Edvard Munch, The Sick Child, 1927

“The difficulty is that in the hospital one gets into the habit of using the oil

immersion lens instead of the low power, and

focuses too intently on the center of the field.”

What Elements Worked (or Not)?

What Worked…

A compelling “why”

Evidence

Invest – not just “stretch”

Partnership (seek win-win)

Layers and triage

Embedded support

Value team- and self-care

Harness non-PC champions

Think “learning system”

…Not So Much

Seeking perfection

“Prove it” mentality

Silos – thinking too narrowly

Demands on referring MDs

Failing to assess needs

Failing to triage

“Auto-referrals”

Leaving out community

Slow to standardize

or

Examples of Positive Shared Outcomes

Documented goals, values and care preferences

More concordant care (i.e., delivery matches wishes)

Care plan communication across care settings

Increased access to specialty PC support

More hospice use

Less unwanted (by all) hospital, ER or ICU care

Less total costs (for patients, family and system)

Greater meaning around the work we do

Asking and honoring “what matters most”

Aetna Compassionate Care (ACCP)

•Goals of the program:

• Provide additional support to members

• with advanced illness and their families/caregivers

• Help them access optimal care

• The goal is not to create or encourage hospice,

although hospice can be a choice when appropriate

and requested by the member.

Holistic, Member-Centric Case Management

Help member understand options, with nurse case managers who are trained to:•Assess and manage members’ care in a culturally sensitive manner •Identify resources to make members as comfortable as possible, addressing pain and other symptoms•Help coordinate medical care, benefits and community-based services•Inform the member about treatment options, continuity of care and advanced care planning•Provide personal support•Consult and coordinate with the members’ treating physicians and staff (including other care coordinators where available)

Results: Member Discussion

Example of Why Compassionate Care

Shows Impact: Depth of Connection•Wife stated member passed away with hospice. Much emotional support given to spouse. She talked about what a wonderful life they had together, their children, all of the people's lives that he touched. They were married 49 years last Thursdayyand each year he would give her a piece of jewelry. On Tuesday, when she walked into his room, he had a gift and card laying on his chest, a beautiful ring that he had their daughter purchase. She was happy he gave it to her on Tuesday--- on Thursday, he was not alert. She stated that through his business he touched many peoples lives, and they all somehow knew he was sick, and he has received many flowers, meals, fruit, cake. She stated her lawn had become overgrow and the landscaper came and cleaned up the entire property, planted over 50 mums, placed cornstalks and pumpkins all around. She said she is so grateful for the outpouring of love. Also stated that hospice was wonderful, as well as everyone at the doctor’s office, and everyone here at Aetna. She tells all of her friends that "when you are part of Aetna, you have a lifeline.” Encouraged her to call CM with an issues or concerns. Closed to case management.

Results

Favorable impact aligning patient goals with outcomes

• 82% of engaged decedents choose hospice

• 82% reduction in acute inpatient days

• 77% reduction in emergency room visits

• 86% reduction in intensive care unit days

Improved quality of life for Aetna members and their families

Data for 2010 Medicare Advantage members enrolled in Aetna’s Compassionate Care program.

Resulting (in Medicare Advantage) in savings of over $12,500 per engaged member

Summary: Metrics Demonstrate Opportunity

• Improving the quality of care for those with advanced illness represents a tremendous opportunity for the country’s health system, for individual patients, and for families and caregivers.

• Programs that provide expert assistance such as Aetna Compassionate Care can increase awareness of the care options available to patients and caregivers, thereby aligning patient choice more closely with desired types of health services and care.

• This care management program favorably impacts advanced illness, with very high rates of satisfaction. Metrics can demonstrate, particularly in Medicare, dramatic impact on Palliative Care and Hospice election, acute and intensive care utilization, cost and other metrics.

• These metrics create an imperative that such services become more widely available.

Measurement Opportunities for Advanced

Illness Care

• Advanced Illness care generally does not follow patient goals and preferences

• Palliative care can be used more broadly to alleviate suffering

• Geriatrics finds that some of the most important care is outside of the traditional organ-system based clinical specialties.

• Experience from caregivers as well as patients

Measurement Challenges for Advanced

Illness Care

• Individual condition-based guidelines often conflict for patients with multiple chronic diseases

• Health affected by sociodemographic factors

• Vulnerable populations may have difficulty accessing consistent source of care

• Coordination of care among multiple sites/providers

Health Policy Relating to SDM

SDM has become a standard part of the language of US health reform

– Affordable Care Act

– Definition requirement for Medicare ACOs– Requirement for Comprehensive primary Care

Initiatives

– State-based health care reform

– Meaningful use of HIT

– Informed Consent

– Professional societies, practice guidelines

155

WA State Passed Three Bills

• Passed legislation in 2007

• Explicitly recognizes SDM is an enhanced informed consent for Preference-Sensitive Conditions if provider uses a “certified aid”

• Led to Group Health demonstration project

• 2009 Passed Bree Collaborative—SDM promoted

• 2012 Passed legislation allowing CMO of HCA to “certify aids” moving forward with criteria

• Payment of providers for SDM being considered

Did the patient know what he or she needed to know?

Did the decision reflect the patient’s goals and concerns?

Did the patient know a decision was being made?

Did the patient know the pros and cons of the treatment options?

Did the provider elicit the patient’s preferences?

Health Policy Reasons for Adoption of SDM on Large Scale

• Ethical imperative to do the right thing

• Perfected Informed Consent-Aligning

preferences, values and lifestyle with

individual’s clinical decision

• Bridging Health Disparities

• Conservative Utilization of surgical

Better Stor ies ,

Best Pract ices

success starts with the story you tell

• stories change brains, beliefs and behaviors

• stories are survival instruments

• storytelling is a competitive sport

• if you want to change your outcome, start

by changing your narrative

I think we’re gonna need a better narrative

If we want to do better, first we have to feel better

Change begins when you give people a new feeling about the issue. In this case, we

want to replace fear of loss and helplessness with a promise of power, purpose and

hope.

Engage the Emotions

AIM Strategies

176

Engage the adversary: the

revolving door

The deep need: Reconnect

with the “why”

Capital Caring Strategies

177

Envision our success: provide

personal stories of positive

outcomes

Speak to identity: we are

innovators

Stories are survival instruments. After you get the audience emotionally engaged, you have to give them practical tools to drive change.

Stories are first and foremost survival instruments for a VUCA world. And advanced

care - serious illness, the probable “third act” of life — is possibly the greatest VUCA

of all. It requires that we come to terms with our ultimate mortality, life’s ultimate

unknown, and it sets up a series of obstacles (financial, practical, emotional, physical)

that make it hard for us to perform at the time we most need to.

Empower Action

AIM Strategies

180

Empower caregivers, Build confidence

Capital Caring Strategies

• allow autonomy with caregivers in implementing the program

• build mastery: program builds confidence with caregivers

• each positive interaction creates

confidence and a better

outcome

Build Resilience

Stories are setbacks.

The last act of life is not easy. There will be suffering. There will be sorrow. And no matter how powerful your program, there will be setbacks.

People are often tempted to give up when they have a bad experience. Much of what we as leaders can do is to build resilience in ourselves and our communities, to help persevere through the hard times. The growth mindset is about getting people to recognize the truth that failure is a necessary stepping stone on the way to success.

182

Coach the growth mindset:

“We’re all still learning how to

do this.”

Everyone worries about

risk. The best strategy is

to tell the truth.

AIM Strategies

183

Openly share successes and

setbacks - address issues

Remember we are all learners

and teachers

Capital Caring Strategies

• set clear, immediate metrics

• be transparent in identifying what doesn’t work

• be proud in reporting on what

Capital Caring at a Glance

• One of the nation’s oldest and largest non-profit providers of hospice and palliative care, Capital Caring cares for over 1,200 families each day.

• Our service area includes The District of Columbia, Northern Virginia, and Prince George’s County, Maryland.

• World-class, high quality care is at the heart of our business strategy.

• Our mission? To simply improve care.

A commitment to people

• In order to ‘simply improve care’- and with high-quality care at the heart of our strategy, Capital Caring’s key metrics allow us to measure and demonstrate improving care.

- e.g. Capital Caring is committed to reducing a patient’s pain to a

comfortable level within 48 hours; we achieve this in nearly every case.

• We focus on culture, people development & training- Capital Caring instituted Standards – clear, impressive, and sustainable rules for achieving world-class care and results

- We are committed to meeting 100% of our standards, 100% of the time

C a p i t a l C a r i n g : I n n o v a t i o n s

i n C a r e

Capital Caring is committed to innovation. • In 2014, we opened our state-of-the art Adler Center for Caring on the Van

Metre Campus in Loudoun County, Virginia. This first-of-its-kind in the nation facility is home to Capital Caring’s Center for Pain and Palliative Care, a 21-bed world-class inpatient facility, Capital Caring’s home care team and palliative care. The Center even boasts a spa and gift shop.

• Capital Caring’s Center for Pain and Palliative Care (CPPC) is on the forefront of innovation. The Center’s ability to perform procedures using state-of-the-art real-time imaging to alleviate debilitating pain on-site, complementing or even replacing pharmacotherapy, provides a vast improvement for patients dealing with pain associated with an advanced illness.

TeleCaring ™

• In 2011, Capital Caring launched TeleCaring™, an innovative care support program, where trained professionals, including nurses, place proactive, outbound calls to patients and caregivers.

• TeleCaring™ is an extension of Capital Caring’s home care team that empowers caregivers—and provides rapid response to emerging issues or to answer questions.

“I feel like every one of them is an extension of our family. Sometimes, when we have questions, when the Telecaring nurse calls, they take 5 minutes, 10 minutes to help me focus and address what matters most. The calls reassure me, and are a valuable extra layer of care.”-----

Barry, Caregiver

Caring in the nation’s capital

-By virtue of being in the nation’s capital, Capital Caring’s mission to simply improve care includes public education and advocacy to expand access to person-centered hospice care.

-Since 2006, hospice utilization in D.C. has increased from 2% to over 30% in part because of our Hospice Comes to Washington awareness event. Our “In Good Faith” initiative has been instrumental in building trust among faith community leadership, their ‘parishioners’, and Capital Caring, in order to identify patients/families at risk in order to increase timely access to palliative care and hospice services.

-Our program is centered on earlier, easier access to care with clearly defined standards and measurable quality of care as our business strategy.

Mr. B

• An 88 year old man with

dementia admitted via the ED for

management of back pain due

to spinal stenosis and

arthritis.

• Pain is 8/10 on admission, for

which he is taking 5 gm of

acetaminophen/day.

• Admitted 3 times in 2 months for

pain (2x), falls, and altered

mental status due to

constipation.

• His family (83 year old wife) is

overwhelmed.

Mr. B

• Mr. B: “Don’t take me to

the hospital! Please!”

• Mrs. B: “He hates being

in the hospital, but what

could I do? The pain was

terrible and I couldn’t

reach the doctor. I

couldn’t even move him

myself, so I called the

ambulance. It was the

only thing I could do.”

• Improves quality: Staying home is

concordant with people’s goals.

• Reduces spending: Based on 25

State reports, costs of Home and

Community Based LTC Services

less than 1/3rd the cost of Nursing

Home care.

Study: Having meals delivered to

home reduces need for nursing

home

10/14/2013 | HealthDay News

A study published today in Health Affairs found if all 48 contiguous states increased by 1% the number of elderly who got meals delivered to their homes, it would prevent 1,722 people on Medicaid from needing nursing home care. The Brown University study found 26 states would save money because lower Medicaid costs would more than offset the cost of providing the meals.

What is Palliative Care?

• Specialized medical care for people with serious illness and their families

• Focused on improving quality of life as defined by patients and families.

• Provided by an interdisciplinary team that works with patients, families, and other healthcare professionals to provide an added layer of support.

• Appropriate at any age, for any diagnosis, at any stage in a serious illness, and provided together with disease treatments.

Randomized trial simultaneous standard cancer care with palliative care co-management from diagnosis versus control group receiving standard cancer care only:

– Improved quality of life

– Reduced major depression

– Reduced ‘aggressiveness’ (less chemo < 14d before death, more likely to get hospice, less likely to be hospitalized in last month)

– Improved survival (11.6 mos. vs 8.9 mos., p<0.02)

Caregivers Perform Medical/Nursing

Tasks

Medical/Nursing Tasks

Caregiver Advise, Record, Enable (CARE)

Act

What does the CARE Act Do?

• Designation

– Record the name of the family caregiver upon admission into the hospital

• Notification

– Contact the family caregiver(s) prior to discharge to another facility or

home

• Consultation

– Hospital consults with caregiver on discharge plan,

taking into account the caregiver’s capabilities and limitations

• Training

– Hospital gives caregiver the opportunity to receive instruction on all after-

care tasks included in the discharge plan to be performed by the caregiver

Caregiver Advise, Record, Enable (CARE)

Act

• Gives support to nurses

and other health and

social service

professionals to do what

professional standards of

practice require them to

do

• Stimulates new thinking

on how to anticipate

patient and family

questions and pro-actively

support them

• Reduce hospital re-

admissions

It has been introduced in sixteen states (CT, HI, IN, KS, MA, MD, MN, MS, NH, NM, NY, ND, PR, VA, WI, WV).

Reimbursement for Educating Family

Caregivers?

• 2010 Invitational meeting with CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) and other stakeholdersFocus:

– Participants included leaders from nursing and social work professions, family caregiver advocacy organizations, and federal government agencies

– The agenda explored policies around caregiver assessment and reimbursement for caregiver counseling.

– Goal was to provide participants with relevant data on the use of Medicare reimbursement codes for the counseling of family caregivers of Medicare recipients.

Reimbursement for Educating Family

Caregivers?

• AARP Public Policy Institute worked with CMS to provide data on use of existing reimbursement codes.– Determine the past and current use of the

reimbursement codes,

– What healthcare professionals (Physicians, Nurse Practitioners, etc.) were using codes

– If usage was low, why?

– What regions of the country were codes used

Reimbursement for Educating Family

Caregivers?

• Data run not completed due to

regulations around privacy of Medicare

beneficiary and provider data

Medicare Payment for Clinicians

• The following provide payment for clinicians doing care coordination including family caregivers– Chronic Care Management Fee

– Post-Discharge Transitional Care Management

– Home Health Services for Caregivers of Alzheimer’s Patients

– Patient-Centered Medical Home (Advanced Primary Care Practices)

– Medicare Community-Based Care Transition Program

President and CEO

National Alliance for Care Giving

About Alliance

Non-profit coalition of over 50 national organizations focused on family caregiving issues

Established in 1996 to support family caregivers and the professionals who work with them

NAC Activities: Conduct research and policy analysis;

Develop national programs;

Strengthen state and local coalitions;

Increase public awareness;

International work and awareness.

Demographics of Care Giving

65.7 million caregivers make up 29% of the US adult population and 31% of households

48.9 million care for only adult recipients, including people with disabilities

Portrait of Caregiver:

48-year-old woman who works and cares

Average of 20.4 hours of care per week for her mother for an average of 4.6 years

34% care for two or more people

86% provide care for a relative

Who Are Caregivers?

Caregiver Financial Burden

Caregiving costs U.S. employers between $17.1 and $33.6 billion in lost productivity annually

Over $5,500 out of pocket expenses

Seven in 10 working caregivers make workplace accommodations

Loss of wages, pension, Social Security: $324,044—women; $283,716—men

43% of caregivers were affected financially (AHA/ASA 2005)

PCORI End of Life Research

Several studies from PCORI on end-of-life care and caregiving

Includes cancer and heart failure treatment

Pediatric end-of-life care received grants to examine care preferences and communication on care

Shared decision making with patients, families and medical professionals

Impact on caregivers:

• Caregiver burden

• Decision-making (aggressiveness of care, etc.)

• Reduce caregiver conflict/regret

Federal Caregiving Legislation

Previously introduced legislation – yet to be introduced in current term

“FAMILY Act” – Family And Medical Insurance Leave Act of 2013, would create a self-sustaining insurance fund through a payroll tax to provide paid family and medical leave similar to the California Paid Leave program.

Caregiver Corps Act of 2014 (Sen. Casey-PA) and the National Care Corps Act (Rep. Grisham-NM), propose to create volunteer corps to help support families that do not have caregivers to meet long-term care needs

Mental Health Support for Veteran Families and Caregivers Act of 2013 (Sen. Sanders), would have created educational programs to support caregivers and vets with mental health disorders through the VA’s vet centers

In Home CARE Act (Sen. Booker-NJ, Rep. Pascrell-NJ), would have provided in-home caregiver education and training and an assessment with referral to resources for physical and mental Health for both the caregiver and the care recipient

Better Care, Smarter Spending,

Healthier People In three words, our vision for improving health delivery is about better,

smarter, healthier.

If we find better ways to deliver care, pay providers, and distribute

information, we can receive better care, spend our dollars more wisely,

and have healthier communities, a healthier economy, and a healthier

country.

We understand that it’s our role and responsibility to lead … and we will.

What we won’t do – and can’t do – is go it alone. Patients, providers,

government, and business all stand to benefit if we get this right, and this

shared purpose calls out for deeper partnership.

So we will continue to work across sectors for the goals we share: better

care, smarter spending, and healthier people.

CMS convenes Medicaid and commercial payers to support primary

care practice transformation through enhanced, non-visit-based

payments, data feedback, and learning systems

Across all 7 regions, CPC reduced Medicare Part A and B

expenditures per beneficiary by $14 or 2%*

Reductions appear to be driven by initiative-wide impacts on

hospitalizations, ED visits, and unplanned 30-day readmissions

Comprehensive Primary Care (CPC) is

Showing Early Positive Results

7 regions (AR, OR, NJ, CO, OK, OH/KY, NY)

encompassing 31 payers, nearly 500 practices,

and approximately 2.5 million multi-payer

patients

Duration of model test: Oct 2012 – Dec 2016

* Reductions relative to a matched comparison group and do not include the care management fees (~$20

“A lot of the things we’re doing now are

things we wanted to do in the past… We

needed the front-end

investment of start-up

money to develop our teams

and our processes”

investment

Care management

Each Care Team consists of a doctor, a

nurse practitioner, a care coordinator, and

three nurses

Teams drive proactive preventive care for

approximately 19,000 patients

Teams use Allscripts’ Clinical Decision

Support feature to alert the team to missing

screenings and lab work

Risk stratification

The practice implemented the AAFP six-

level risk stratification tool

Nurses mark records before the visit and

physicians confirm stratification during the

patient encounter

Delivery System Reform and Our Goals

The CMS Innovation Center Was Created By

the Affordable Care Act to Develop, Test,

and Implement New Payment and Delivery

Models

The Innovation Center Portfolio Aligns With

Delivery System Reform Focus Areas

CMS Has Engaged the Health Care Delivery

System and Invested in Innovation Across

the Country

Models run at the state levelSites where innovation models are being

tested

Source: CMS Innovation Center website, January 2015

Accountable Care Organizations:

Participation in Medicare ACOs Growing

Rapidly

ACO-Assigned Beneficiaries by County

424 ACOs have been established in the MSSP and Pioneer ACO programs

7.8 million assigned beneficiaries

This includes 89 new ACOS covering 1.6 million beneficiaries assigned to the shared

saving program in 2015

The bundled payment model targets 48 conditions with a single

payment for an episode of care

Incentivizes providers to take accountability for both cost and quality of care

Four Models - Model 1: Retrospective acute care hospital stay only

- Model 2: Retrospective acute care hospital stay plus post-acute care

- Model 3: Retrospective post-acute care only

- Model 4: Acute care hospital stay only

102 Awardees and 167 episode initiators in phase 2 as of January 2015

85 new awardees and 373 new episode initiators will enter phase 2 in

April 2015

Bundled Payments for Care Improvement is

Also Growing Rapidly

Duration of model is scheduled for 3 years:

Model 1: April 2013 to present

Models 2,3,4: October 2013 to present

* Current as of January 2015

CMS is testing the ability of state governments to utilize policy and

regulatory levers to accelerate health care transformation

Primary objectives include

Improving the quality of care delivered

Improving population health

Increasing cost efficiency and expand value-based payment

Payment Model

Maryland has ~6 million residents*

Hospitals began moving into All-Payer Global Budgets in July

2014

- 95% of Maryland hospital revenue will be in global

budgets

- All 46 MD hospitals have signed agreements

Model was initiated in January 2014;

Five year test period* US census bureau estimate for 2013

Awards tested service delivery and payment models that improved

quality and decreased cost in communities across the U.S.

Over 140 projects awarded in round 1 and 2

Ideas tested include

- Enhancing primary care

- Coordinating care across multiple settings

- New types of health care workers

- Improving decision making

- Testing new service delivery technologies

Health Care Innovation Awards Tested A

Broad Range of Delivery System Innovations

Approximately 575,000 Medicare, Medicaid, and CHIP

beneficiaries served

Projects were funded in all 50 states*

Awards ranged from ~$1 M to $30 M

Independence at Home (IAH)• This delivery model utilizes physician and nurse practitioner

directed primary care teams to provide services to certain

Medicare beneficiaries in their homes.

• Participating practices are accountable for providing

comprehensive, coordinated, continuous, and accessible

care to a maximum of 10,0000 high-needs beneficiaries at

home and coordinate health care across all treatment

settings.

• Practices may share in any savings under the Demonstration

program, if specified quality measures and savings targets

are achieved.

Medicare Care Choices Model• Allows terminally ill Medicare beneficiaries to receive

palliative care and hospice services without having to forego

further treatment for their terminal condition

• Designed to test impact of model on patient and family

satisfaction, timing of patients’ enrollment in hospice, and use

of non-palliative services at end of life

• Open to hospice-eligible Medicare beneficiaries with heart

failure, COPD, terminal cancer, or HIV

• Hospices to be paid monthly fees for case-management,

palliative care and related services

Accountable Health Communities• Recognizes that health care costs are influenced by drivers

outside the formal health care delivery system

• Tests whether systematically identifying and addressing

beneficiaries’ health-related social needs (e.g., housing

instability, food insecurity) reduces emergency department

utilization and inpatient hospitalizations.

• Engages payers, local government, and clinical and

community-based service providers in a coordinated effort to

align resources to improve the health of high risk Medicaid

and Medicare beneficiaries, with investments in infrastructure

and data tools to support continuous quality improvement

Transforming Clinical Practice Initiative is

Designed to Help Clinicians Achieve Large-

Scale Health TransformationThe model will support over 150,000 clinician practices over the next four

years to improve on quality, lower costs, and enter alternative payment

models• Two network systems will

be created

1) Practice Transformation

Networks: peer-based

learning networks

designed to coach,

mentor, and assist

2) Support and Alignment

Networks: provides a

system for utilizing

professional associations

and public-private

partnerships to drive

improvement

Phases of

Transformation

We are focused on:

Implementation of Models

Monitoring & Optimization of Results

Evaluation and Scaling

Integrating Innovation across CMS

Portfolio analysis and launch new

models to round out portfolio

GAO Conclusions on Long-Term Fiscal

Outlook

“We calculated that closing the fiscal gap would

require action to be taken today and maintained for

each year equivalent to an 18 percent reduction in the

state and local government sector’s current

expenditures.”

“A primary driver of the decline in the…operating

balance long term is the rising health-related costs of

state and local expenditures on Medicaid and the cost

of health care compensation for state and local

government employees and retirees.”

Notes on State Activity for EOL

• Medicare dominant for EOL…in-patient and hospice

• Committee/task force…best practices on palliative care

• Tension between pain meds and abuse of

pharmaceuticals

• MA requirement for conversation on EOL treatment

• ACO’s coordinated care for EOL…reduced intensity and

increased patient satisfaction
