Presentation Overview Coalition Challenge:
• How can our healthcare providers in rural upper middle Tennessee successfully cross the “shaky bridge” from pay-for-volume to pay- for-value?
Potential Options: • Consolidate • Collaborate • Close
Presentation focus: • How a rural coalition of hospitals and clinics in Tennessee
selected the collaboration option to cross the “shaky bridge”? • The lessons we learned along the way

Value STEPS addressed
Satisfaction: Developed a strategy to enhance patient satisfaction with local healthcare quality, convenience and continuity of care.
Electronic Information: Developed a strategy to build and fund a regional data sharing interoperability platform.
Savings: Developed a strategy to reduce costs of value based healthcare infrastructure and generate initial $1.25 million in annual shared savings for participating healthcare providers.

What were the prerequisites for action? • Obtaining funding for transformation to Value Based healthcare
delivery • Find external sources to supplement limited funding from
individual local healthcare providers Note: 66 percent of the nation’s 2,323 rural hospitals are operating at a financial loss, according to iVantage Health Analytics.
• Obtaining external expertise to build an operational and technical strategy and roadmap to value based healthcare delivery
• Rural healthcare providers individually have limited internal expertise for building a value based operational and technical healthcare roadmap
• Obtaining political support • Finding political support in and outside of the region

Coalition Vision
for Value Based Healthcare

What were the key critical success factors? • Deciding on an appropriate coalition structure for value based
healthcare
• Engaging area physicians
• Selecting appropriate technology for value based healthcare delivery
• Finding sustainable funding and pursuing grant opportunities
• Working with statewide healthcare associations
• Working with state and local government agencies
• Engaging local school systems

What were the organization options? • Establish a Managed Services Organization (MSO)
• Pool resources to purchase shared resources (e.g. information technology, coordinators)
• Charge service fees to members • Function as a Clinically Integrated Network (CIN)
• Work together as a virtual integrated system • Contract with payers for value based payments • Share patient information • Support patient centered medical home model
• Establish an Accountable Care Organization (ACO) • Medicare shared savings ACO

![Page 13: Rural Coalition Strategy for Value-Based Healthcares3.amazonaws.com/rdcms-himss/files/production/... · Rural Coalition Strategy for Value-Based Healthcare Bill Mize - Director –](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052314/5f0b1dac7e708231d42eed4a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Selection -- The Clinically Integrated Network Option • Enabled resource sharing for smaller physician practices
• Provided a way to share care coordinators • Provided a way to share cost of technology • Enabled a stronger negotiating position with payers
• Less resources required compared to forming an Accountable Care Organization • Did not require as much funding up front • Did not require ACO shared savings risks
• Provided a way to contract with payers vs MSO option • Allows for contracting with payers
• Disadvantages • More complex to operate than Managed Services
Organization • Does not have the legal benefits of an ACO

home model (PCMH) and Medicaid Health Home model.
• Rural providers will be accountable to each other and to payers to deliver high-quality care in an efficient manner
• Key components • Collectively define and enforce standards of care • Coordinate patient care • Manage population health • Collect and report quality metrics

How was the technology infrastructure strategy developed? • Partnered with eTransX and CivicHealth – healthcare technology
companies - to help design infrastructure strategy and roadmap
• Addressed components of the technical infrastructure strategy • Regional health information exchange solution • Shared patient information repository and portal • Tele-health and Tele-medicine integration • Community Care Coordination system for referral management
and tracking compliance with care plans
• The partners provided technology expertise • Donated expertise for defining technology requirements • Helped coalition write the technology section of grant

Coalition Lessons Learned
• Don’t delay - start now with developing a regional value based healthcare solution (to help control your future destiny)
• Emphasize coalition based strategy and local deployment • Involve physicians in the community (find champions) • Do your homework on coalition structure options (ACO, Clinically
Integrated Network, Managed Services Organization) • Form technology partnership to develop IT infrastructure roadmap • Engage relevant community organizations (churches, schools) • Get input from statewide associations and government agencies • Explore all funding options (payers, grants, government) • Approach improves continuity of care and convenience for the
patients which also helps improve patient satisfaction
