What Does This Mean For You

WHAT DO YOU WANT? WHAT ARE YOU WILLING TO FIGHT FOR?

GDP Revenue going into Health Care is 18% and rising It should be 11% and stable No Health Care Sector is willing to give up their share

What Does This Mean For You

As A Purchaser you are currently Uniformed Misinformed Heavily Marketed Satisfied with insignificant levels of information and facts Not curious Unwilling to challenge your friends in Health Care

WHAT DO YOU WANT?WHAT ARE YOU WILLING TO FIGHT FOR?

CCO MYTHS

Quality focus will lower costs Unit and Utilization Costs? Maybe Prices? NO

Collaboration and Integration will mean better care CCO’s and providers have no skill set for this – YET

Quality outcome incentives will drive the process Not if Primary care continues to be under-paid Not if the reporting/record requirements cost more than

the incentive Not if Price increases as Utilization goes down.

Access to Primary Care

Primary Care Services are Under-reimbursed Physician supply is old and not being replenished Education is too expensive Education system is not responding to the shortage

Need ~ 24,000 new primary care physicians annually Producing a TOTAL of 18,000 new physicians annually

Health Care Demand

Health Care is the service provided for a disease process Disease processes start OUTSIDE of the Health Care System Disease development involves:

The physical, mental, emotional and spiritual development of the individual The environment, Economics, Education, Nutrition, Family dynamics and

relationships, and genetics

Reducing the Demand for services starts in the family, the neighborhood, the schools, the whole community.

The Result is what lands in the Health Care System We are paying not only for a broken health care system, we are

also paying for a deficient community system.

ACO MYTHS

Primary Care Medical Homes will be the basis for healthcare transformation. Primary care is underpaid by 40-50% and there is no

plan to raise reimbursement Growing shortage of primary care physicians and nurses. You can’t make up the shortage and improve quality by

putting care into the hands of lessor trained people Practicing at the top of one’s license does not mean

putting the patient in an assembly line. It means paying the provider for the time necessary to diagnose and deliver complete patient centered care.

The Reality

1. This is not about health care – it is about money and politics.

2. No health care entity will willingly give up revenue or profit.

3. Health outcomes are what will be achieved after money and politics are decided.

4. You have to be prepared to fight for everything.

5. Trust no one – This is about money and politics.

My Opinions

1. You, and your business sector, are 100% responsible for the current mess. Clean up your own house.

2. Equal attention must be paid to creating healthy communities. Health begins in the community, not in the Health Care system.

3. We need different leaders for change to occur.

Your Choices

1. You can do nothing and be a victim

2. You can plan for the future and take your chances

3. You can Create the Future and Build a Healthy Community.
