The Role of Process and Outcome Metrics Optimizing Your Value: Concepts, Calculations and Demonstrations Data Mining Options for Demonstrating Fidelity and Quality Improvement Tools for Financial Strategic Planning and Management for Sustainability Conclusion Why Bother? Remaining Current with American Healthcare ◦ Meeting the Triple or Quadruple Aim ◦ Taking advantage of special programs, incentives or healthcare initiatives Survival ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ Many funding streams eventually dry up If you ARE the business side of the house, it’s your job If you are NOT the business side of the house, they will come knocking eventually Integrated healthcare IS the standard of care The Role of Outcome and Process Metrics Outcome Metrics help us answer: “How we are doing?” ◦ Clinical ◦ Financial ◦ Operational Process Metrics help us answer: “Why are we doing this well or poorly?” Outcome Metrics (within the Triple Aim) Clinical Outcome Metrics Appropriate for Primary Care Instrument Clinical Focus PHQ-9 Depression GAD-7 Anxiety SF-12 Medical symptoms and functioning PAM Motivation for health behavior change BHM-20 Global mental health; overall functioning WHOQOL Quality of life measure PEG Measure of pain intensity and interference Functional Outcomes of Sleep Questionnaire Quality of life questionnaire to determine functional status due to sleep problems Dallas Pain Questionnaire Chronic pain and its impact on behavior Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (CSSRS) Suicide Duke Health Profile Mental health symptoms Process/Operational Metrics (within the Triple Aim) Process/Operational Metrics (within the Triple Aim) Process/Operational Metrics (within the Triple Aim) Optimizing Your Value: Key Concepts Business Case Analysis (BCA) - A decision support and planning tool that projects the likely financial results and other business consequences of an action. The analysis essentially considers “What happens if we take this or that action?" and answers in business terms— business costs, business benefits, and business risks. BCA Optimizing Your Value: Key Concepts Pro Forma - a method of calculating current or projective fiscal results; describes a presentation of data, in financial terms, where the data reflect the world on an “as-if” basis. Pro Forma Optimizing Your Value: Key Concepts Return on Investment (ROI) - A performance measure used to evaluate the efficiency of an investment or to compare the efficiency of a number of different investments. ROI measures the amount of return on an investment relative to the investment’s cost. To calculate ROI, the benefit (or return) of an investment is divided by the cost of the investment, and the result is expressed as a percentage or a ratio. gain from program—cost of program x 100 = percent of ROI cost of program Data Mining Options for Demonstrating Fidelity and Quality Improvement o Claims data (ROI for insurance companies) o Joint ventures with insurance companies o Registries o Survey Data o Electronic Health Records o HIE (Health Information Exchanges) o HEDIS, UDS, NQF, Physician Quality Reporting o Self-reporting o Other ways? Understand Your Data and Sources Forms of Data: How to choose? ◦ Claims ◦ Chunking ◦ Small amounts ◦ Analytical vs. Clinical Volume of Data ◦ How to understand it? ◦ How is it relevant?

PQRS o PQRS - the quality reporting program that encourages individual eligible professionals (EPs) and group practices to report information on the quality of care to Medicare. o As of 2015, the program applies a negative payment adjustment to individual EPs and PQRS group practices who did not satisfactorily report data on quality measures for Medicare Part B Physician Fee Schedule (MPFS) covered professional services in 2013. o Those who report satisfactorily for the 2015 program year avoid the 2017 PQRS negative payment adjustment. PQRS There are several PQRS criteria that could be evaluated or considered as measures of your clinical outcomes. If you have Medicare providers and do not currently monitor these quality data for reporting, you may already be losing money. A few examples relevant to IBH are listed below. PQRS #9 – Anti-depressant Medication Management PQRS#1 - Diabetes Hemoglobin A1c Poor Control PQRS #106 – Adult Major Depression Disorder PQRS #370 – Depression Remission at Twelve Months PQRS #173 – Unhealthy Alcohol Use PQRS #131 – Pain Assessment and Follow Up PQRS #247 – Substance Abuse Disorders PQRS #128 – Preventative Care and Screening: Body Mass Index Screening and Follow – Up Plan PQRS #317 – Preventative Care and Screening: High Blood Pressure and Follow-Up with Lifestyle Modifications PQRS #134 (NQF 0418) – Preventive Care and Screening: Screening for Clinical Depression and Follow-Up Plan (National Quality Strategy Domain: Community/Population Health) ◦ www.cms.gov/Medicare/Quality-Initiatives-Patient-Assessment-Instruments/PQRS/index.html PQRS Integrated Care Targets by Domain Effective Clinical Care Measures: Safety Measures: Adult Major Depressive Disorder Medication Reconciliation / Monitoring Suicide Risk Elder Maltreatment Substance Use Population Health Measures: Body Mass Pain Depression Tobacco Under PQRS, an eligible professional (EP) is defined as one of the following types of professionals: 1. Medicare physicians Doctor of Medicine Doctor of Osteopathy Doctor of Podiatric Medicine Doctor of Optometry Doctor of Oral Surgery Doctor of Dental Medicine Doctor of Chiropractic 2. Practitioners (continued) Clinical Social Worker Clinical Psychologist Registered Dietician Nutrition Professional Audiologists *Includes Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) 2. Practitioners Physician Assistant Nurse Practitioner* Clinical Nurse Specialist* Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist* (and Anesthesiologist Assistant) Certified Nurse Midwife* 3. Therapists Physical Therapist Occupational Therapist Qualified Speech-Language Therapist HEDIS ◦ Psychiatric hospitalization (e.g., 7 and 30-day follow-up) ◦ Antidepressant medication adherence (e.g., 6 month treatment duration) ◦ Others include: treatment adherence for ADHD in children and schizophrenia in adults, treatment engagement for chemical dependency ◦ Utilization of the PHQ-9 to Monitor Depression Symptoms for Adolescents and Adults ◦ Depression Remission, Response or Treatment Adjustment for Adolescents and Adults ◦ Depression Screening and Follow-up for Adolescents and Adults ◦ Emergency Department Utilization Fidelity Measures o Primary Care Behavioral Health Provider Adherence Questionnaire (PPAQ) Bheeler et al., Translational Behavioral Medicine 2013 Dec;3(4):379-91. o Care Management / Collaborative Care Model (3CM Model) Oxman et al., Med Care 2006;44: 1030–1037. Calculating and Demonstrating Your Value o Direct Revenue: dollars o Indirect Revenue (e.g., productivity, operational efficiency, etc.) o Cost Savings: cost management without sacrificing the quality of care; doing more with what you have and doing more without spending more money on resources or time. o Cost Offset: occurs when general healthcare savings are identified as exceeding the cost of the integrated care intervention. Financial Strategic Planning and Management for Sustainability Conclusions If you don’t feel compelled to prove your value, someone will ask you to do it, eventually. Regarding metrics…just ensure you ask “good” questions and the data will give you “good” answers. Outcomes tell us “what” and process/operational metrics help us understand “why.” There are many ways to demonstrate ROI and they may not be in direct revenue. There are many options when it comes to measuring quality; while there are fewer options for fidelity measurement, that doesn’t make it any less important. If your “success story” is not sustainable, consider developing a new story.
