Objectives
• Discuss a framework of care integration implementable at the level of the care delivery system
• Distinguish care integration from care coordination
• Discuss tools that measure and support continuous improvement of high value, person- and family-centered outcomes
Take Away Messages
• Build Capacity of Work Force
– Develop competencies to support integration
– Inter-professional education
• Implement Measures of Care Integration
• Implement Measures of Care Coordination
• Track Outcomes, Including Value
– Quality, Safety
– Cost
– Experience

Achieving Optimal Value
• Chronic Conditions
– Enhancing F/PCMH performance
– Enhance Subspecialty “Access”
• Collaborative Care Models
• More timely access to actionable information
• More timely access to appointments
• Virtual access to referring providers
• Virtual access to patients/ families
– Enhance Patient Self-Management Skills
Specialist or PCP comfortable with high risk patients as the medical home. Patient's specialists highly
connected and identified patient coordinator supports the patient and/or family, including social
and behavioral health needs.

Evolving the Care Model to Achieve High Value
PCP as the medical home and specialist visits as needed. Most care
coordination is conducted by the patient and/or family.
PCP as the primary care medical home + the patient’s specialists. PCP care team support care coordination
with the patient and/or family.

Care Coordination the set of activities in “the space between”- Visits, Providers,
Hospital Stays [Turchi RM, Antonelli RC et al. Patient- and Family-Centered Care Coordination: A Framework for Integrating Care
For Children and Youth Across Multiple Systems. Pediatrics. May 2014.
Integrated Care seamless provision of health care services, from the perspective of the patient
and family, across entire care continuum. It results from coordinating the efforts of all providers, irrespective of
institutional, departmental, or community-based organizational boundaries.
Care Integration for Children with Special Health Needs:
Improving Outcomes and Managing Costs. National Governors Association Center for Best Practices, 2012
Domains of Integrated Care
Align with “Triple Aim”– Better Health, Better Care, Less Cost Per Capita
• Person, Patient, Family, Caregiver Experience • Care Coordination
o Closing the Loop
o High Quality Handoffs
o Care Tracking
o Care Planning
• Utilization and Financial Outcomes o Admissions, readmissions, Emergency Dept utilization
• Provider Experience
A Qualitative Study of Families with Children Seeing Multiple Health Care Providers
Aim: Explore and define how families who have children with multiple care providers perceive care integration and assess how well their child’s care is integrated
Funded by Lucile Packard Foundation for Children’s Health
Families said that integrated care would involve:
• “A knowledgeable professional taking some responsibility for a holistic look at my kid.”
• “Help with prioritizing.”
• “To really know everyone on the team, to have good working relationships.”
• “Someone who clears the path for me.”
Pediatric Integrated Care Survey (PICS)
Validation of a Parent-Reported Experience Measure of Integrated Care, Pediatrics, in press • Family reported measure to inform Quality Improvement/interventions
• The PICS is:
– 19 validated experience questions + health care status/utilization & demographic questions
– Supplementary and topic specific modules – Spanish version is available
• Development funded by Lucile Packard Foundation for Children’s Health
Domains of Integrated Care

Elements of a High Quality Information Exchange
• Purpose of the referral request from the view of PCP or other
entity. Family engaged in process of referral choice and goal setting
• Relevant information received by community organization or specialist, including clinical, behavioral/ social risk factors
• Management relationship specified (eg, limited number of consults, continued co-management, etc.)
• Care planning across team members

Care Coordination Tracking and Planning
Care Coordination Measurement Tool (CCMT)
• Captures Value of CC activities– For Both QI and Business Planning – Supports efforts of all disciplines doing CC
– Identify Gaps and Redundancies in Care (eg, vulnerable and underserved populations)
– Rationalization of workforce education and deployment-- functioning at “top of license or scope”
– More accurate reflection of true cost of care– enables sustainability of move from reactive to proactive care; fee-for-service to value-based care delivery
• Adapted to capture activities/ outcomes in diverse settings (adult, child) – Community Health Workers
– Social Workers
– Primary Care
– Subspecialty Care (behavioral, surgical, medical)
– Home Care
– Families

Outcomes Prevented
Promising Early Financial Outcomes
• Integrated care model for patients with complex needs
• Reduced expense by 10%, primarily by shifting in-patient to ambulatory care
• Reduced 30 day, all cause readmissions from 22% to 13%
• Reduced Emergency Department usage
Value-Based Payment Models for Medicaid Child Health Services
Payment model for all children except for those with Medical Complexity • Capitated Primary Care Payment (incorporating behavioral health) • CC Payment (risk adjusted per-patient-per-month) • Performance Incentive Bonus
Value-Based Payment for Children with Medical Complexity • Total Cost of Care-model evolving from shared savings to shared risk • CC Payment- risk adjusted per-patient-per-month
Other • Episode-based payment • Performance incentive/ shared savings- social determinants of health • Joint Accountability • Cross-subsidization
