Agenda Trigger for change: Where and why we
innovated, local, regional, national impetus
“What is it going to take to get us from here to there?”
Technology served as a pillar, but a bridge was required
Lessons learned and critical success factors for care model transformation initiatives
Page 5
Learning Objectives Identify best practices for overcoming EHR integration
challenges and implementing technologies to meet the needs of an organization embarking on a new care model
Discuss learnings through a real-world case study from an advanced comprehensive primary care organization for transitioning to a Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH) approach to healthcare delivery
Discuss how technological solutions can better facilitate team-based care, resulting in higher clinical quality measures, fewer gaps in care, and increased revenue
Share how data and technology solutions can be customized to accomplish specific organizational goals
Page 6
STEPS:™ Satisfaction, Treatment, Electronic, Patient & Population, Savings
Patient experience and provider satisfaction demonstrably improved
Team-based care model (PCMH), significantly outperformed peers in closing treatment gaps
Integrated population health management IT platform with certified EHR technology
Improved key quality performance measures, exceeded advanced primary care benchmarks
Increased Medicare revenue, decreased hospital admissions and readmissions

The Christ Hospital Health Network
Integrated delivery system based in Cincinnati, OH with a 555-bed acute care hospital, 41 primary care locations, and 100+ ambulatory sites
Recognized national leader in clinical excellence and patient experience
Focused on improving the health of the TCH community and creating patient value by providing exceptional outcomes, affordable care, and the finest experiences

Do you know about the Comprehensive Primary Care Initiative (CPCI)?
1. Yes, very familiar2. Yes, aware of it, but I do not know any details3. No, happily not a clue…
Page 10
2013: CPCI• 2,188 participating providers,
7 regions across the U.S.
• Approximately 2.7M patients
• 38 payers, both public and private
What did we get ourselves into?

The Evolution of Primary Care

…the patient-doctor visit is no longer the primary commodity.
Page 13
CPCI Core Functions
• Identify patients with chronic conditions and more robust healthcare needs. Deliver intensive care management for patients with high needs.
Risk-Stratified Care Management
•Ensure patients and providers can access patient data tools 24/7 for real-time, patient information necessary to continually provide the highest levels of coordinated care.Access & Continuity
•Proactively manage patients to determine their needs and provide timely preventive care services.
Planned Care for Chronic Conditions & Preventive
Care•Actively engage patients and families in goal setting and decision making to increase patient buy-in and adherence to care plans.
Patient & Caregiver Engagement
•Primary care teams will coordinate with other health providers to effectively communicate key patient information during transitions in care or referring to other providers.

Team-Based Care Not Designed into EHRs
The EHR user experience is transactional, not actionable
EHRs are designed for data capture, not visualization or knowledge transfer
EHR ill-equipped to address more rigorous 2014 NCQA PCMH certification requirements, or value-based programs like CPCI and CCM

Team-Based Care, Technology Implementation, & Key Outcomes
Page 20
Team-Based CareTeam-based healthcare is the provision of comprehensive health services to individuals, families, and/or their communities by at least two health professionals who work collaboratively along with patients, family caregivers, and community service providers on shared goals within and across settings to achieve care that is safe, effective, patient-centered, timely, and efficient

Page 21
Team-Based Care (cont.)
Patients come first Every person in the office has responsibility for taking care
of patients As a team, we all take care of patients, even if they never
cross our threshold Patient care happens beyond our office walls
Page 22
First StepsAnswering essential questions Can we perform the new functions with the current
staffing? How will we identify the patients in need of the new
services? How will we document the care? How will we track our performance?
Page 23
First Steps (cont.)
Adding new roles to address new responsibilities RN Care Managers
Responsible for care management of the high-risk population through disease management and care transitions. This is accomplished through face-to-face and telephone interactions with patients to promote self management skills through education and support.
Care CoordinatorsResponsible for facilitating pre-visit planning, referral management, and proactive outreach for overdue appointments/labs. The care coordinators will also be trained in behavior and lifestyle coaching to help your patients reach their personal health goals.
Page 24
First Steps (cont.)Population health technology Develop registries to identify patient cohorts for interventions Develop point-of-care tools to assist the care team in
identifying care opportunities Utilize efficient tracking systems to manage patient cohorts Develop risk stratification methodology Develop discrete fields for documentation in the EMR

First Steps (cont.)
Reporting Develop reports for milestone
reporting Develop CQM reporting at the
practice level Develop reports for tracking
staff performance

patients discharged from the hospital or emergency department
Disease management: diabetics (poor control), COPD, high risk, CHF
Self-management support Shared decision-making
WHAT DO WE NEED? Risk stratification at point of care Discharge Alerts Registries EMR documentation: Docflowsheets, Notewriter templates, Care Management encounter types Patient-centered care plans Discrete fields for self-management support

Risk Stratification: Crayons to Computers
•Provider and staff review attribution lists and manually assign high, medium, or low risk based on knowledge of the patient.Phase 1
•Apply HCC algorithm and develop cut points for high, medium, and low risk. Include physician feedback. Create display in patient header for HCC score and risk category. Manual entry.
Phase 2
•Identify patients with HCC score>2.5 with hospital/emergency room utilization or readmission in last 12 months.Phase 3
•Create registry to calculate HCC and identify utilization and automate high, medium, and low risk assignment in patient header.

Value-Based Models Emerging New innovation models established by payers, including
government (state and federal) and commercial insurers Difficult to give requirements document to IT,
iterative model with many stakeholders Tenants of gap analysis still relevant in all forms of
value-based care Political transition implies continuation of free market
innovation, transparency, and focus on outcomes

Focus on Culture“…eats strategy for lunch”
Provider adoption & satisfaction key to ongoing success
