What We Plan To Cover...
What are the forces driving reductions in provider revenues and increases in provider risk? What are some effective strategies for not only coping, but thriving in this new environment? • Physician/hospital integration • Risk-bearing joint ventures • Hospital-owned health plans • Population health management
What are the roles of the board and management in the volume to value transition?

WHAT ARE THE FORCES DRIVING DECREASED REVENUES AND
INCREASED RISK?

Exclusive to Healthcare. Dedicated to People. SM
National Overview
• Everyone will be paid less per increment of service and challenged to assume greater risk • Acute care volume will shift from inpatient to ambulatory venues • Consumerism will grow (Boomers and newly insured) • Population management will be implemented … slowly; near term focus still needs to be on volume • Provider cultures will be challenged; everyone will have to:
– Do more with less – Move away from hospital centric model – Embrace a patient centric approach

ACA Stops Short (For Now)
• Three major problems: uninsured, cost and quality • The ACA primarily addresses the uninsured • The ACA does not ensure that care is effective, high-quality, and affordable for recipients or
taxpayers

Physician / Hospital Integration
12
Exclusive to Healthcare. Dedicated to People. SM
Physician / Hospital Integration
Two distinct integration challenges • Structural integration • Clinical integration
Numerous approaches to structural integration • Physician employment • Professional services agreements • MSO services for independent physicians • PHO formation • ACO formation or participation • Various joint ventures
No “one size fits all” solution
13
Exclusive to Healthcare. Dedicated to People. SM
Physician / Hospital Integration
Clinical integration more complex than structural • Will generally require significant new investment
– Information systems – New personnel (care coordinators, nutritionists, home care specialists, etc.) – Patient-centered medical homes (PCMH)
• For most physicians, it is a new way of providing care and will require new referral patterns, communication, follow-up, “tickler files”, patient reminders, etc.
• Cuts across multiple sites including primary care and specialist offices, hospital, post-acute settings, home, etc.

Establish MSG* Member Criteria
15
* Multi-Specialty Group
1. Provides high quality patient care as defined by best practices (not necessarily the MEC)
2. Meets/exceeds patient expectations
3. Operates in a financially responsible manner
4. Respects clinical autonomy but adheres to best practices
5. “Captures” appropriate referrals within the network
6. Leverages information technology
Exclusive to Healthcare. Dedicated to People. SM
Physician / Hospital Integration
The up side: • Improved population health • Reduction in total costs of care • Improved results and patient satisfaction • Reduced risk in “at risk” payment schemes
The down side: • New expenses, both initial and ongoing • Requires cultural change • Reduces inpatient revenues • MAY reduce ambulatory revenues, as well • May or may not be rewarded by payers
16
Exclusive to Healthcare. Dedicated to People. SM
Risk Bearing JV Options
• JVs with insurers • Hospital owned private ACOs, with or without a PHO • Medicare ACOs
17
Exclusive to Healthcare. Dedicated to People. SM
Risk Bearing JVs Challenges
• One organization’s revenue is another’s expense • Providers know little about actuarial risk • Providers and insurers know little about population management • Reimbursement algorithms don’t support population management; neither do IT platforms • 80% of cost is related to six chronic diseases • Many chronic disease patients don’t have an HDHP; those that do will burn through the out-of-pocket incentives in a month • Many patients aren’t compliant
18
Exclusive to Healthcare. Dedicated to People. SM
Hospital-owned Health Plans
A very high risk strategy... • ...but also one with high potential rewards • A Medicare Advantage plan receives $800-900 monthly for each enrollee -- for 10,000 enrollees,
that translates to $96M to $108M per year • Many organizations starting with an ACO for their employees, then expanding to licensed health
plan • IF you can manage care to produce safe, high quality, satisfying care within the capitated amounts,
there is significant upside potential
19
Exclusive to Healthcare. Dedicated to People. SM
Hospital-owned Health Plans
MANY caveats and potential pitfalls • Significant start up costs • Requires extensive expertise outside the traditional portfolio of hospital leaders • Expect losses for first several years • Size is essential---small doesn’t work • Beware of adverse selection • Extensive clinical integration also essential • Other payers will view you as a competitor • Data needs are extensive
20
Exclusive to Healthcare. Dedicated to People. SM
Hospital-owned Health Plans
Extensive merged relational databases are essential... ...as are tools to extract reports you need on an almost real-time basis (“predictive analytics”)
Some examples: • What does it cost you to produce a total hip replacement? • How much variation is there in that cost among your orthopedists? • What does it cost to manage a diabetic for a year? • How much variation is there in that cost among your PCPs? • How much does one hospital admission change that cost? • How many diabetics should you expect?
21
Exclusive to Healthcare. Dedicated to People. SM
Population Health Management
• Regardless of how much risk you choose (or are forced) to take, the capacity to manage the health of a defined population will be essential
• The metrics are those of accountable care: – Safety – Quality (process and outcomes) – Satisfaction – Efficiency
• Timing is everything -- developing capacity early is good, but premature implementation can be fatal
22
Exclusive to Healthcare. Dedicated to People. SM
Population Health Management
Multiple tools are available • Chronic disease management
– 25.6% of Medicare patients have diabetes; they account for 41.2% of ALL Medicare spending – Six chronic diseases (diabetes, congestive heart failure, coronary artery disease, asthma, depression and
obesity) account for about 80% of total healthcare costs
• Patient-Centered Medical Homes (PCMH)---expanded primary care patient management, with decreased use of specialists and hospitals
• In-home care management • Referral management
23
Exclusive to Healthcare. Dedicated to People. SM
Population Health Management
All of these tactics require • Interoperable electronic health records • Extensive data from multiple sources • New types of personnel • New patterns of care management • Extensive communication among providers and with patients • A new culture

Too often these [System] governing bodies are assembled without sufficient attention to the original purpose of the consolidation resulting in the creation of a system that has compromised its own effectiveness and, in some cases, rendered itself virtually ungovernable and unmanageable.

Implications For Providers
• Confront the “brutal facts” re your outcomes • Become patient-centered…really • Focus marketing efforts on consumer decision points • Assess your external communications on the Flesch-Kincaid Reading Index • Dissect a major service line from the patient/family/friends perspective
