Central Maine Healthcare ACO Lessons Being Learned

<p> Central Maine Healthcare – ACO Lessons Being Learned (Updated: 11/19/2013, Jim Kane & Dr. Ned Claxton)</p><p>* The transition from “Episodic Care” to “Population Health” … is very difficult and takes time. ED physician example.</p><p>* The “Missing Link” … many patients not taking primary responsibility for their health improvement. Diabetes, Pre-diabetes … the “who is responsible for maintaining your car?” example. Assessment of “willingness to change”.</p><p>* Focus on where the $’s are. Re-admissions ($48.34 pmpm) vs Level 1 & 2 ED use ($5.50 pmpm ~ 1/4th of $22.34 pmpm)</p><p>* Think financial incentives thru PCP incentives … to drive behavior change toward “Population Health”, etc. If the thought was to financially incentivize the PCP … do the $’s actually go to the PCP ?</p><p>* Change is heavily influenced by the structure of physician’s annual compensation. 1% Satisfaction, 5% Quality (individual, practice, group), 94% Work RVU’s </p><p>* PCP Practices are an important economic engine for Heath Systems. PCP Practices are moving quickly toward standard work and standard infra-structure. PCP Practices … are not … an improvement “playground” for Payor A, Payor B, Payor C !</p><p>Program: MHMC ACO Lessons Learned 11_2013.docs Page 1 of 2 Central Maine Healthcare – ACO Lessons Being Learned (Updated: 11/19/2013, Jim Kane & Dr. Ned Claxton)</p><p>* Payor and provider “Tools” are now pretty good … there is now plenty of data … turning the data into important, “non-duplicative”, actionable information … takes time and staff resources to “filter” this data from up to 8+ somewhat different clinical and claims based sources.</p><p>* IT “tools” stuck in 1st gear … are the IT “tools” being used to their maximum ? EMR … alerts for Rx not picked up or re-filled Work flow processes, skilled staff to do analysis, reflect on results, drive PDSA</p><p>* Some PCP resources work best with practice level deployment but with centralized management. LCSW, Care Coordinators</p><p>* Population Health … attribution methodologies are OK but not great Which provider is primarily responsible ?</p><p>* Quality metrics … let’s stick to the CMS 33 + a very small number of OB, Pedi and BH metrics. At last count PCP’s are being measured on 122+ metrics !</p><p>Program: MHMC ACO Lessons Learned 11_2013.docs Page 2 of 2</p>
