Health Care’s Micro-Macro
Dilemma

The Dilemma for Health Care
� “2015 Environmental Scan,”
American Hospital Association
• “Health care is moving toward a
precision-based model – or
‘personalized medicine.’”
• “[T]he U.S. health care system has a
new business model . . . that will
emphasize community-based care.”

Factors Impacting Health Outcomes
20% - Access to and quality
of health care
80%
• Social and economic
factors (40%)
• Health behaviors (30%)
• Built environment (10%)
Adapted from <http://www.countyhealthrankings.org/our-approach>
Health Care:Macro
� Population Health
• Invest in public health initiatives to influence health
indicators of population as a whole
• E.g., large scale wellness programs
• Environmental design, city planning
� Advantages of population health
• Many known causes of health care utilization
• Large scale interventions often more affordable than
costs of treating individual outcomes in the long run

Health Care:Macro
� Requirements for success in population health
• Community engagement(especially employers, schools, local government)
• Reliance on new professions (community health worker, community paramedic, community nursing)
• Multi-stakeholder, cross-sector activation
• Early, continuous investment
� Current challenges
• Reimbursement, payment models (ACOs close, but transitional and insufficient)
• Most “savings” is long-term and speculative
Health Care:Micro
� Patient-centered care
• Health Care Homes
• Individual care plans;
individualized care
• Physician-led,
team-based care
• Genetic-designed
interventions,
pharmaceuticals

Health Care’s Micro-Macro Dilemma
� The laws of delivering high-quality, individualized
care (micro) do not translate into delivering
effective and efficient population health (macro)
• Different workforce
• Different capital investment
• Different marketing, community engagement
� Trying to use our current care system to deliver
more individualized care to larger numbers of
people is not population health
Science and Scale
Field Macro Micro
Physics Gravity;
Newton, Einstein
Quantum; Higgs
Economics Macro Micro
Health care Population Patient-centered

Physics:Macro
� Laws of gravity, space, relativity
• Predictable, measurable, reliable . . .
on macro-levels
• Mapping of comets, planets, stars, etc.
• Ways we use macro laws of physics:
Satellites
Lunar landings
GPS
Physics:Micro
� Laws of quantum physics
• Proton/electron motions
• Building blocks of matter
• Macro laws of gravity do not hold true or allow for reliable explanations
• Ways we use micro laws of physics: LasersMicrowavesCellphones

Economics:Macro
� Laws of Macroeconomics
• Reliable and predictive on large scales
• Supply and Demand
• Growth, inflation,
• Outcomes:
Monetary policy
Tax policy
Predictive analytics
Graphs
Economics:Micro
� Laws of Microeconomics
• Attempts to apply macroeconomics
to individual/family decision making
• Assumes rational individual decision
making
• Forces of incentives/rewards and
pressures of penalties

Economics:Emergence of Behavioral Economics
� Microeconomics attempts to apply macro theory
to micro level decisions and . . .
fails to accurately describe actual individual
decision making
� So, how do people make decisions?
Irrationally
Behavioral Economics:Promise of Future Gains v. Fear of Loss
� Obama (June 30, 2003): “I happen to be a proponent of a single-payer health care program. . . . And that’s what I’d like to see.”
� Obama (June 28, 2012): “If you're one of the more than 250 million Americans who already have health insurance, you will keep your health insurance.”

Behavioral Economics:Overvaluation of one’s assets, knowledge
Behavioral Economics:Paralysis of Choice
�
54 plans ranging from $130 to $288

Can we find the 1:1.618 formula for individual care and population health?
Southcentral Alaska Foundation:2004 – 2009
� 55,000 enrollees (10,000 in remote
villages accessible only by plane)
� Costs per capita = $3,700
• Minnesota = $8,000
• US = $8,800
� Improvements over 5 years
• ER use <50%
• Admissions <53%
• Specialty care <65%
• Primary care <36%

Southcentral Alaska Foundation:2004 – 2009
� Performance metrics
• Almost guaranteed same-day
appointments
• Calls answered in <30 seconds
• Best-evidence care for . . .
Child with asthma up from 35% to 85%
Immunizations by age 2 = 90%
Diabetics with controlled blood sugar: top 10%
Patient satisfaction: 93%
Employee satisfaction: 90%
Health Care:Searching for the Golden Mean
� Build from existing strengths
• Health care home/primary care + emergency/trauma + acute care + long term care continuum
• These services will be necessary and expected in both individual and population health systems
• Leverage existing services, relationships, infrastructure to build foundation for community engagement
o EMR
o Relationships with employers, local government, social services, public health
o Community health needs assessment and community benefits
12/30/2014

Health Care:Searching for the Golden Mean
� Seek financial arrangements that offer enhanced reimbursement for preventive, wellness or community health initiatives
� Relentlessly pursue efficiencies, cost savings in existing service lines
• Shift from individual to population health will be greater challenge if existing system carries higher costs
� Examine recruitment and retention strategies that seek cross-trained or multiple competencies
• Bilingual
• Community health education, training or activities (e.g., community paramedic certification)
Health Care:Searching for the Golden Mean
� Forge joint ventures, pilot projects, or other collaborations with community/population health partners
• Aim for building institutional experience, community stakeholder trust and understanding, engagement of organizations and individuals
• Local public health
• Social service agencies
• Long-term care, assisted living
• School districts
• Strive for projects that align with your organization’s community health needs assessment

Health Care:Searching for the Golden Mean
� Seek initiatives that serve multiple purposes.
Example 1: Reducing hospital’s energy use
• Cuts current expenses without harming revenues
Reducing average hospital’s energy expenses 10%
increases its operating margin 16%
• Increases resiliency during power demands
• Opportunities for building relationships with
local utilities, environmental groups,
schools (projects for students)
• Improves public health
• Offers marketing/PR stories
Health Care:Searching for the Golden Mean
� Seek initiatives that serve multiple purposes. Example 2: Improve hospital employees’ health
• More likely to have chronic conditions, including asthma, depression and obesity
• 5% more likely to be hospitalized
• 9% higher health care spending than national average for insured employees
• Consistently less likely to be tested/screened for cholesterol levels; breast, cervical and colorectal cancers
• Average hospital spends 4% of operating revenue on health insurance benefits for employees

Health Care:Searching for the Golden Mean
� Seek initiatives that serve multiple purposes.
Example 2: Improve hospital employees’ health
• Increase employee engagement
• Decrease rate of health insurance cost/expense growth
• Reduce absences
• Develop wellness, behavior-modification competencies
• Forge relationships with local partners – grocery stores,
fitness centers, parks department, etc.
• Build data, anecdotes, other background to show impact
if other employers joined in the effort
• PR/marketing/recruiting
