Results from the National Scorecard on U.S. Health System Performance, 2008 (New York: The Commonwealth Fund, July 2008). Supply Driving Demand: Overutilization of Resources 20-30% of US Health Care Spending is Estimated to be “Waste” PC’s Impact on the Health of Society (Just a Moment on the Soap Box) • When compared with other developed countries, the United States ranked lowest in its primary care functions and lowest in health care outcomes, yet highest in health care spending. • States with higher ratios of PCPs to population have better health outcomes, including decreased mortality from cancer, heart disease, or stroke, and lower costs and hospitalization rates. • An increase of 1 primary care physician per 10,000 population in a state was associated with a rise in that state's quality rank by more than 10 places and a reduction in overall spending by $684 per Medicare beneficiary. • The more that complex, chronically-ill patients are attached to a PC practice, the lower are overall health system costs (all medical services, hospital services, and drugs). 7 The Primary Care Crisis • Critical current shortage of Primary Care Physicians (Only 2% of medical students plan PC careers) • That will only worsen: – Projected shortage of ~ 65,000 PCPs by 2025 when include the 32 mm “covered lives” under PP-ACA – Aging of population (# >65 will grow from 35 to 70 mm by 2030) – Multiple co-morbidities normative in this group – Medical advances mean that care moving inexorably into the ambulatory setting Reasons for the Shortage Not Hard to Find • Primary Care Physicians earn 55% of the average specialist salary (leave $3-4mm “on the table” across a career) • For a panel of 2500 patients, PCP’s would have to work 23 hours a day to provide all recommended acute, chronic, and preventive care (no current compensation under FFS for the onerous burden of care coordination) • Typical PCP works with 229 other physicians to manage his/her panel • Burn out a major problem: If you (PCP’s) had to do your career over again : – 28% would do again – 41% would be a specialist – 27% would not be a physician • Physician’s Foundation 10/08 The Paradigm Shift Current Model • Incented by Volume • Focus on Physician • Focus on Acute Illness, high margin services • Focus on individual patient • Fill Beds • Payor has more risk • • • • • • Evolving Model Incented by Value Focus on Team Focus on prevention, care coordination Focus on population Prevent unnecessary utilization Provider has more risk Navigating the Bridge from Fee-for-Service to Accountable Care Key Strategies for Primary Care Strategy Transformation Assemble a High-Performance Primary Care Transition Practice Network Operations • Grow and organize the • Transform in-practice care delivery PCP network of the future • Enhance patient primary care access • Create the primary care team • Anchor a cooperative care network 100% Create a Sustainable Financial Model • Craft strategy-aligned PCP compensation • Leverage payment incentives to support practice transformation Primary Care Returns Across the Transition to Accountable Payment Realizing Returns Today Revenue Generated Total Cost Accountability Preparing for Tomorrow • Improved performance on key quality and cost initiatives • Increased practice access, patient visit volume • Stabilized PCP practice retention • Infrastructure base for care coordination, management, patient engagement • Patients treated at lowest-cost site, by lowest-level provider possible • Expanded panel size Fee for Service 0% Time Source: Health Care Advisory Board interviews and analysis. Short term implications • Panel sizes will grow (fewer PCPs/more patients) • Multidisciplinary PC teams will be necessary to manage care • The 1:1 MD-Pt encounter will no longer be the sole clinical care experience in PC • PCPs will be needed to both see the most complex cases and to manage the team (skills not currently taught) • PCMH emerging as one model that captures these core concepts 12 Patient-Centered Medical Home (Great Medical Care, Delivered by a Team) • Team-based acute, chronic, preventive and coordinated care • Patient-centered care (improved access, e-visits, SMAs, extended hours, pt engagement) • New model of care delivery (evidence-based population management; performance measurement and improvement; interoperable IT) • Need for underlying payment reform (severity adjusted reimbursement for care management, coordination, quality, outcomes) to make model viable, sustainable 13 High-functioning Teams Require New Roles (And is much less MD-Centric) • Other care providers – – – – Advanced Practice Clinicians (NPs, PAs) Pharmacists Social Workers Nutritionists • Population manager – reviews registry, calls patients • Care manager – provides more intensive management/follow-up for high risk patients • the 20% who are 80% of the cost • Medicare patient with 4 or more chronic problems • Self-management Coach • The 80% who are 20% of the cost, but will be the 20% who are 80% of the cost in 20 years • Care Coordinator – tracks referrals/testing, and transitions in care 14 The Implications of Being Truly Patient-Centered “Virtually all physicians and hospitals throughout the world say ‘Patients come first’—but relatively few are ready to act on the implications of this slogan, which include ‘Physicians come second.’” Source: Lee T and Mongan J.

Primary Care at BWF and “Phase 1” Strategic Work The “Value Proposition” for Team-Based Primary Care Key entry point for patients into the system and trusted “home base” for their subsequent experiences of care Provides care that is: - first contact - continuous (across the life cycle) - comprehensive (disease prevention, health promotion/education, patient and family empowerment, acute care, care of chronic illness, palliative care) - coordinated across spectrum of illness (subspecialty care, acute hospitalization, rehab, home health, nursing home) Provides a platform for: - population management - high risk patient management - chronic disease management - effective resource utilization, decreased cost - improved access - improved patient satisfaction - improved quality and clinical outcomes - building a high-functioning medical neighborhood 18 BWH Primary Care: “The Mission” • Create a sustainable practice model (team-based care) that recognizes the diversity of individual practices • Reduce variability, demonstrate excellence across all practices re: quality, access, patient satisfaction, cost • Use these achievements to: - Build a BWH-PC reputation that matches that of the inpatient side of the institution - Restore professional pride and quality of life - Increase job satisfaction, professional growth, and retention - Attract the “best and brightest” back to BWH-PC • Make sure the new model readies PC and BWH for the implications of “Accountable” care: reducing unnecessary ED utilization, 30-day readmissions, bundled payments, etc BWH Primary Care Multi-Year Strategy • Expand Clinical Work Force - MD’s: Ongoing Recruitment (31 New Hires since 10/2009) - APC’s: Employ as direct care providers • Invest in Creating A Team-Based Care Model (PCMH) - Stage I (2011-12): Improve Staffing Ratios of core clinical (LPN, MA, RN) and non-clinical (front desk, admin) support staff to improve access, productivity - Stage II (2013-15): Add SW, Nutrition, Pharmacists, Population Mgr to create “fully-functional” teams • Expand Capacity - Add new practices: SH, Norwood (6/12/12), BFP (HVMA;

Of the 3139 Low Acuity ED visits by a BWH Primary Care patient, 1312 of these visits occurred while the patients’ Primary Care Physician’s office was open. This represented 11.6% of all BWH Primary Care ED visits to the BWH ED, FH ED, and NWH ED.
