Agenda
• Background
• Goals of federal healthcare policy– Broaden coverage (ACA)– Modify payment incentives– Delivery system redesign
• The transition from Volume to Value
2
A growing portion of annual GDP
3
The number of uninsured Americans is down

What is the proper target of resource allocation of the healthcare system?
1. Should we only provide care that avoids errors of harm but doesn’t provide care that could produce improved health (value)? OR
2. Should we target a level where the increased health benefits are balanced by the increased costs? OR
3. Should we target a level where we provide all care that is potentially beneficial regardless of cost?

What is the proper target of resource allocation of the healthcare system?
• Choice 1 is unrealistic• What about choice 2? Many policy makers and
business leaders would suggest this choice.• However, practicing physicians, healthcare
professionals, patients, state and federal agencies (Medicaid, Medicare, FDA) and laws require or behave as though choice 3 was the best target.

Lower cost and fairness
• Hospital Acquired Infections for example
• Perhaps as many as 2 million, with costs between $17-$29 billion
• They are already on the CMS Hospital Acquired Conditions list
• There have been some great successes (esp. central line bloodstream infections)
• But without a cost sharing models nearly all of the economic benefits accrue to insurers despite all of the work being done by hospitals and providers
12
Consolidation
• Potential for enhanced efficiency • Recent JAMA paper by Robinson & Miller at least
suggests consolidation has the potential to actually increase costs through larger overhead.
• After adjustment for severity and local factors between 2009-2012:– Hospital owned organizations incurred costs of 10.3% higher than
physician owned organizations
– Multi-hospital owned organizations incurred cost increases of 19.8% higher than physician owned organizations.

Accountability
• ACOs and alternative delivery strategies• In September 2014 CMS reported their results• Encouraging but there are only 19 “pioneer”
ACOs • Experimental Payment models
1. Base payment
2. Quality component (Performance)
3. Warranty component?

Performance

Most measures today are based on billing data only
Population Health
• No one really knows what this is
• However, could one reimburse a region’s gastroenterologists by the size of the population and its risk adjusted colon cancer incident rate versus just the volume of colonoscopies performed?
• Regardless of how you feel, this would be a daunting task to implement.
17
Where is this going?
• Getting people insured doesn’t answer how care will be financed or provided
• Do we have the appetite for “experiments” in provision of healthcare?
• Expect changes – but not too soon – ICD-10– Recent election

Scenarios

2014
2016
ACA remainsmostly as is
Much better congressional pictureWin the Presidency
2016
Attempt repeal knowing it will be vetoed but to set stage forthe presidential election
Veto results in the 2014-2016 provisions moving forward
Hold the CongressWin the Presidency
ACA repealed
• Innovative Payment Approaches• Tort Reform
• Single Payer System• Rational Regulation
Summary
• ACA will go forward for the next two years because veto can’t be overridden
• So will we just see delay until 2016 or .. – Might bipartisan efforts lead to locating a
middle ground– Could discussions of a single payer system
resurface– Will tort reform resurface in the discussions
