24 | STRATEGY | UHHOSPITALS.ORG UH Strategy Science of Health Innovating patient-centric treatment strategies Building on a legacy of high-quality and patient-centric care and service, UH has grown into a super-regional health system. Utilizing a hub-and-spoke model, our community hospital network and physician providers (the spokes) cohesively integrate with our main campus anchor, UH Cleveland Medical Center (the hub), creating a seamless patient experience. World-renowned medical care is provided beyond our main campus in the communities where many of our customers reside. Additional value is garnered from having a consistent level of care, sharing of best practices, increasingly uniform operating systems, leveraged purchasing power, and back-office shared services that leverage economies of scale and ultimately reduce costs for our patients.

As an academic medical center, this hub-and-spoke framework effectively trains interns and residents as they are rotated within the hub for tertiary and quaternary healthcare learning and between the spokes for secondary learning. In a hub location, our specialists elevate the practice of medicine through focused research on a particular disease-state or chronic condition. Our capital and growth plans include the enhancement of some spoke locations to be more “hub-like” to provide additional acute care services at a lower cost for the patients we serve and thus enhance the patient experience.
UH’s goal is to provide the right care, at the right place, at the right time. Coordinated care results in higher quality, more efficient outcomes and improves the communication between patient and provider. Today, in addition to primary, secondary (specialty care), tertiary and quaternary care, and community hospitals, the UH super-regional network comprises: virtual and telehealth, ambulatory centers, urgent care, trauma and emergency centers, behavioral health, home health care, rehabilitation services, skilled nursing, integrative health, hospice and palliative care services.
STRATEGY | UNIVERSITY HOSPITALS | 25 Guided by our mission, we are furthering our investment in our academic efforts by focusing on five key components: supporting discovery and drug development; integrating research and clinical strengths and priorities through institute-based, disease-focused research; growing clinical and community-linked research programs; enhancing advanced clinical care programs; and training the next generation of medical providers. Through these efforts, we aim to enhance the standards of care and improve the lives of our patients, community and the world. Simply stated, research creates value. It enables the acquisition of top medical talent. And it attracts patients who want to seek the highest levels of care.

HEALTH SYSTEM
Recently, we established the UH Research Division, a new operating structure to manage academic efforts. The UH Clinical Research Center is home to the largest clinical trial site in Ohio with more than 1,800 active clinical research studies including more than 600 clinical trials in process. And, the Harrington Project for Discovery & Development, a unique initiative based at UH, continues to garner international praise as an innovative model to support drug discovery and development.
Beyond the operational aspects of the model lie the strategic components that drive the system forward. While many opportunities will present themselves in a consolidating market, UH will pursue strategic opportunities that align with our goal of providing a full continuum of care while enhancing value-based care for our patients and payor partners.
These opportunities may be through organic growth, such as our recent formation of UH Ventures where revenues for our Specialty Pharmacy division surpassed $29 million in 2017, far exceeding our target. They may be through joint ventures, such as our agreements with Southwest General or Kindred Healthcare for rehabilitation services. Or we may pursue affiliation agreements, such as The Congenital Heart Collaborative with Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus. Our previous experience in successfully integrating community hospitals demonstrates our ability to grow inorganically as well should sound opportunities arise.
Art of Compassion Painting a masterpiece for our community With 1.2 million patients coming through our doors every year, we are in a unique position to improve the overall health of our community. It’s not a responsibility we take lightly. As such, we have invested significantly in health education and wellness programs, building the largest primary care network in the region, developing screening campaigns, deploying targeted outreach for the management of chronic conditions, and providing individualized case management for those who have more complex care needs.
26 | STRATEGY | UHHOSPITALS.ORG Population health management starts with our primary care providers and specialists. In 2016, we launched the UH Quality Care Network (UHQCN), a clinically integrated network comprising UH-employed and independent providers in Northeast Ohio. With over 5,600 providers in the network, UHQCN accelerates population health improvement through the implementation of evidence-based guidelines for standards of care. Providers in the network are rewarded for patient care collaboration as well as attainment of quality goals.
UH ACO Population Health Services
Health Education & Wellness Programs for broad population needs All Members Preventive Care Adherence Align primary care physicians & protocols
Screening Campaigns Resolve gaps in care Targeted Outreach Disease Management Address chronic illnesses
Case Management Highest Individualized Risk care
Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) are another key component in population health management. An ACO works with providers, members and payors to reduce medical costs while improving the patient experience and quality of care. In a nutshell, providers are encouraged to keep patients healthy. UH first started an ACO in 2010 to better manage the cost and quality of care for our own self-insured employee medical plan. Recognizing the value we can provide to the community, we expanded our ACO to commercially-insured, Medicare and Medicaid populations. Today, the UH ACO covers more than 350,000 members and beneficiaries and ranks as one of the largest ACOs in the nation. For UH ACO populations, we regularly trend below industry benchmarks for cost of care. In 2017, the UH ACO achieved shared savings in its commercial ACO programs by surpassing targets for quality and for controlling medical costs. The UH ACO also earned quality and financial performance incentive payments for our commercial and Medicare Advantage ACO programs, generating over $4 million in shared savings for participating providers.
Health Design Plus (HDP), a third-party claims administrator acquired in 2015, takes us deeper into population health management and value-based care. As the manager of industry-leading Centers of Excellence (CoE) programs in cardiac, joint replacement, spine and bariatric surgery being offered by Fortune 500 companies, HDP has become a trusted name in CoE program administration. UH now serves as one of four CoE providers for bariatric surgery and opportunities are being pursued to expand UH’s reach as a CoE provider. These CoEs are chosen through a highly-selective process for providing excellent care and patient experience at a greater value to both the patient and the patient’s employer-sponsored health benefit plan.
Population health is also managed through outreach services in the community. UH Otis Moss Jr. Health Center provides high-quality patient care in a spiritually supportive environment, with a particular focus on at-risk individuals. The center offers family medicine and general pediatric services, plus social services and referrals to dietitians, pharmacists and other healthcare professionals. In 2017, we announced expansion of the center to include obesity/diabetes prevention and treatment, cancer and cardiovascular screening, mental health and addiction services.
STRATEGY | UNIVERSITY HOSPITALS | 27 In 2017, construction moved full speed ahead on our new outpatient healthcare center for obstetrics and gynecology and pediatrics in MidTown Cleveland. The UH Rainbow Center for Women & Children, opening summer of 2018, will house innovative programs for pediatric primary care, women’s healthcare, and social services as well as education programs to support patients, their families and the community.
Expansion projects like these also benefit the community via economic contribution. New construction creates business for others, adding jobs and new money into the local economy. Recently, we measured our Economic Impact to the state of Ohio and it surpassed $7.7 billion.

Advancing the Business of Health University Hospitals is consistently recognized for the quality and safety of care we provide to over one million patients every year. In 2016, we began a journey to become a High-Reliability Organization so we provide safe, evidence-based and effective care, driving out unnecessary variation and creating value for every patient, every day. Multidisciplinary teams comprising physicians, nurses, pharmacists, lab clinicians, imaging specialists, supply chain operators, IT personnel and front-line staff collaborate to achieve our stated objectives for High Reliability Medicine (HRM). HRM employs a new methodology that shifts from traditional expense reduction initiatives and instead combines all aspects of clinical delivery into one disease-based focus. With these tenets in mind, the HRM teams focused on: improving patient safety and quality outcomes; improving throughput and efficiencies; lowering per-case direct variable costs; improving transparency around expectations of care and communication; and increasing use of technology for enhancing standardization around care. Our 2017 results for this HRM program exceeded our expectations with our total realized opportunity, which includes both cost savings and revenue improvement, surpassing $13 million.
Another way we advance HRM philosophies is through 12 UH clinical care institutes that promote evidence-based standards of care. These institutes bring highly trained subspecialists together to share best practices in treatment modalities across the system. In 2017, UH added the Spine Institute and the Diagnostic Institute to the already established Digestive Health; Ear, Nose & Throat; Eye; Harrington Heart & Vascular; Neurological; Primary Care; Sports; Transplant; Urology; and Angie Fowler Adolescent & Young Adult Cancer institutes. But the benefits of “systemness” go beyond the clinical realm.
28 | STRATEGY | UHHOSPITALS.ORG In a world where consumers are inundated with a barrage of choices, whether it’s television programming, shopping options or healthcare providers, the driver of distinction boils down to experience. In our business, that experience includes not only the quality and reliability of care our patients receive, but the ease of how they interact with us. And from our lens, that ease also translates to providing compassionate care. Patient experience permeates every strategic endeavor we initiate, including technological innovation.
From patient-facing applications like UH Now – which provides self-scheduling functionality, electronic health records information and provider locator options – to virtual visits and remote health monitoring, we offer patients convenient access to the care they need any time, any place. In 2017, we commenced the OneUH technology integration project that will consolidate all of our locations on common platforms for back-office infrastructure management, patient-safety compliance, clinical management and medical-records administration, thereby improving the patient experience and enhancing the brand proposition. By aggregating data onto common platforms, we also improve our ability to provide value-based care and population health management.
The industry rapidity of change in regulation, third-party payor requirements and medical policy as well as reimbursement parameters have created ongoing challenges and administrative burden for providers and patients. We have witnessed a cultural change driven by transparency, awareness, accountability and action for improvement that has elevated the principle of revenue cycle to the next level. At UH, we strive to positively impact the patient-payor-provider trilogy, ensuring optimization of clinical documentation and claims-processing collection of expected payment from both the payor and patient. Never before has “systemness” been more pronounced as a game-changer. Root cause resolution, standardization, normalization and repeatable processes drive our success. UH has made substantial investment in patient-centered clinical and business health-related technologies that enable seamless scheduling, billing, claims-payment processes and connectivity that drive toward our goal of providing our patients with “single billing” capability. In 2016, UH implemented strategies to mitigate payor denials by improving workflow, automation and clinical documentation to support acuity and severity of care, and expanded on mitigation efforts and strategies in 2017. Additionally, in an environment with higher volume and increasing regulatory requirements, we maintained a strong overall cost-to-collect ratio at 2.2 pecent, below the industry median of 3.0 percent.*
Our Value Improvement Program captured $165 million in savings in 2017 utilizing a lean Six-Sigma® approach to identify cost-reduction and revenue-enhancement opportunities. This multi-year initiative comprises 18 strategic teams focused on identifying new system initiatives that coincide with their team objectives. Teams yielding the strongest results in 2017 included: Revenue Optimization, Pharmacy Services, Workforce Planning, Continuum of Care and Supply Chain.
In summary, we have built a healthcare system that puts the patient front-and-center with regard to every decision we make and every strategic initiative we deploy. We have built a system that provides high-quality healthcare close to home. We strengthened our academic mission and invested in population health management to ensure we continue pioneering medical breakthroughs and innovating community-based care models that will improve lives and lead to a healthier community. To safeguard UH’s leadership position and solidify its continued strength for both our patients and our employees, we have prepared for uncertainty surrounding our industry, positioned UH to capitalize on new opportunities, eliminated excess expense from the business, and provided for future capital reinvestment into the system. Most importantly, we have painted a healthy landscape where the science of health blends with the art of compassion.

Every endowed position at UH has a story. From a grateful patient expressing appreciation for exceptional care to a family paying lasting tribute to a loved one, the meaning behind each endowed chair, master clinician and director is as unique as the title itself. They all, however, are advancing the field of medicine for the benefit of patients today, and for generations to come.
Alexander and Sarah Cutler Chair in Men’s Health
A generous $1.5 million gift from Sandy and Sally Cutler created the Alexander and Sarah Cutler Chair in Men’s Health. The endowed position recognizes the innovative and life-saving work of Chris M. Gonzalez, MD, Chair, Department of Urology, UH Cleveland Medical Center and Director, UH Urology Institute, who was named the Cutler Chair in December.
“The Cutlers are amazing advocates and allies in our efforts to expand care in men’s health,” said Dr. Gonzalez. “This chair will help drive innovation and research in the particularly important areas of urology, oncology, endocrinology and digestive health.”

1-866-UH4-CARE (1-866-844-2273) | UNIVERSITY HOSPITALS | 55 THE GIFT OF TIME
Having grown up in Medina, Maribeth Gainard met Hal Goltz, a New York native, through a mutual friend while both were living in London after college. A few years later, after asking Maribeth’s father for his blessing, Hal proposed and wedding planning ensued. “Our families lived in different states and we had friends all over the world. We were thrilled so many could come to Cleveland to celebrate our special day with us,” said Maribeth.
A week after the couple was engaged in Paris in June 2016, however, Maribeth’s father, Joe Gainard, received a devastating diagnosis of esophageal cancer. “Doctors at another hospital told him that treatment was not possible,” said Hal. “They gave him less than a year to live and his first thought was that he would miss the wedding.”
Faced with a bleak prognosis, Joe sought a second opinion at UH Seidman Cancer Center where physicians gave him hope. “UH said there were alternatives he could try and that treatment, including surgery, was possible,” said Maribeth.
Joe quickly agreed to the treatments, hoping to gain enough time to share in his daughter’s big day. With the help of UH physicians Yaron Perry, MD, and Jennifer Dorth, MD, along with an incredible team of nurses and staff, he underwent radiation and chemotherapy, followed by a successful esophagectomy.
On October 21, 2017, Joe Gainard proudly walked his daughter down the aisle and gave her hand in marriage to the love of her life, Hal. “This moment was incredibly important to me and my dad,” said Maribeth. “The care my dad received at UH was amazing and I will be eternally grateful to them for giving us that day together.”
In lieu of wedding gifts, Maribeth and Hal asked their guests to make donations to UH Seidman Cancer in
Maribeth Gainard and Joe Gainard* honor of the doctors and staff who treated Joe. They, too, also contributed to the fund, making one of their first philanthropic donations together as husband and wife. To date, the Gainard Goltz Esophageal Cancer Research Fund has raised more than $25,000.
“Our wedding would not have been the same without Maribeth’s father,” said Hal. “It would have been filled with competing emotions. But thanks to UH, it will always be a happy and joy-filled memory for us.”

72 | UNIVERSITY HOSPITALS | UHHOSPITALS.ORG Science& Compassion At University Hospitals, science and compassion converge to create new ways to cure and better ways to care. From valve replacement done while patients are awake to heart interventions performed on babies before they are born. Every day, every one of us is working together with one goal in mind—to improve the health and life of every person who needs it.
The science of health. The art of compassion.
