Issues in Savings Measurement
• Gainsharing presupposes existence of savings• Pre/post trend is not sufficient• Pre/post trend is not sufficient• Need to assess “the counterfactual”• Gold standard: Rigorous comparison groupGold standard: Rigorous comparison group
► Difficult/time-consuming
• Alternative: Comparison to statewide trend► Can be done with claims data► Precedent in Medicare & other shared savings► Precedent in Medicare & other shared savings
arrangements► Recommendations in CSHP report

Framework for Statewide Trend Comparison
• Key quantities► Baseline & performance year per capita spending► Baseline & performance year per capita spending► Statewide trend in Medicaid spending growth► Benchmark spending = Baseline spending + statewide trend p g p g
factor
• Performance year spending < benchmark spending ==> savings are established
• Important issues► Risk adjustment► Random variation

hThe Business Plan
26
The Business Planning Process
• Forces managers to think through financial and operational matters unfamiliar to most providers
• Promotes the concept of Value-Based Purchasing of health care services► Movement away from volume
(payments for clinic visits)
d d h h f► And toward higher payments for measurably higher quality care and healthier peoplep p
27
The Business Planning Process
• Reduces nebulous concepts into metrics that can be reasonably forecasted (e.g. lives, revenue, etc.)
• Allows the responsible management of limited resources, which is a key to sustainability
• Brings the question of “who is the customer?” front and center
• Drives the shift to population management thinking
28
Population Management Thinking
• How can we manage the health of 30,000 l ?people?
• What is the Total Cost of Care (“TOC”)?
• What are member months and PMPMs?
• How do we forecast and measure our return o do e o ecast a d easu e ou etuon investment (“ROI”) in the Care Coordination Team?
• How much care coordination can we afford?
• What is extensibility?What is extensibility?
29
Population Management Business Thinking
• What model of care coordination will we adopt?
• What is the “right” mix of professionals in the care coordination team(s)?
• Who and what providers of “care” are already in the community, and how do we engage them?
• What care coordination resources do those providers already have? Are there PCMHs?
