  • What is Cardiac Rehabilitation?

    10

    PARTICIPANTS DEFINITION

    Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is a comprehensive secondary prevention program used to improve cardiovascular health and prevent subsequent cardiovascular events.

  • Importance of CR

    11

    PARTICIPANTS THE GAP

    • Overwhelming evidence has led to numerous national guidelines and specialty societies supporting the use of CR.

    • Yet, there is a large gap between recommended enrollment and actual participation rates in CR.

    • According to a 2019 study, 24.4% of beneficiaries eligible for CR participated, of whom 24.3% participated in CR within 21 days and 26.9% completed 36 or more sessions

    The purpose of TAKEheart is to close the gap between CR evidence and practice.

    PresenterPresentation NotesNote: Figures cited above are based on 2016-2017 Medicare fee-for service data

    National guidelines indicate that CR is a class 1a recommendation (AHA/ACC) for MI & CABG Mean CR referral rates are the lowest of all the secondary prevention measures that were assessed for patients with diagnoses of PCI Only 50-70% of referred patients actually participate in CR

  • The Opportunity: How to Close the Gap

    12

    EVIDENCE-BASED APPROACH

    EVIDENCE-BASED APPROACH

    Increasing CR participation from 20% to 70% could save 25,000 lives and prevent 180,000 hospitalizations annually in the United States.

  • The Opportunity: How to Close the Gap

    13

    PARTICIPANTS EVIDENCE-BASED APPROACH

    EVIDENCE-BASED APPROACH

    • Automatic referral: EMR based referral built into order set, default, opt-out model where ALL patients with qualifying diagnoses are referred and relevant providers are notified

  • The Opportunity: How to Close the Gap

    14

    PARTICIPANTS EVIDENCE-BASED APPROACH

    EVIDENCE-BASED APPROACH

    • Care coordination support (“liaison”): Can be dedicated staff or someone in- house taking on role with appropriate training on program. Meets with patient to introduce CR and coordinate referral.

  • The Opportunity: How to Close the Gap

    15

    PARTICIPANTS

    • In a 2011 study, implementing automatic referral to CR increased participation to 70% compared to control (32%). Automatic referral with care coordination support increased participation to 86%.

  • Barriers to CR Participation: Why So Low?

    16

    PARTICIPANTS FOR PATIENTS FOR PROVIDERS

    • Fail to promptly and consistently identify and refer patients who are eligible for CR

    • Focus on inpatient care • Do not understand the importance, benefits, and

    operations of CR

  • Barriers to CR Participation: Why So Low?

    17

    PARTICIPANTS FOR PATIENTS FOR PATIENTS

    • Do not get referred to CR; lack of care coordination for CR even if referred.

    • Lack of understanding of importance, scope and

    benefits of CR • Significant patient barriers to attending CR – time,

    motivation, support, financial (co-payments), transportation – especially for up to 36 separate sessions.

  • Barriers to CR Participation: Why So Low?

    18

    DISPARTITIES FOR PATIENTS- SIGNIFICANT DISPARITIES

    • Lack of CR referral disproportionally affects women, people of color and non-native English speakers. In a recent study • 18.9% of women participated in CR compared to 28.6% of men • Non-Hispanic Whites participated at a rate of 25.8% compared

    to < 17% for other races/ethnicities

    • In areas of the country where cardiac events are disproportionately high, CR uptake is lower

    • Individuals with multiple chronic conditions are also less likely to be referred to CR.

  • Barriers to CR Participation: Why So Low?

    19

    PARTICIPANTS FO SYSTEMS FOR HOSPITALS/HEALTH SYSTEMS

    • Outpatient CR is challenging to coordinate and sustain from an inpatient referral: without an automatic referral patients not as easily identified

    • Lack of coordinated operational and IT (electronic medical record) platforms and staff serving both settings.

    • Need for hospital leadership support; CR not traditionally seen as acutely important.

    20

    PARTICIPANTS FOR PATIENTS • CR reduces mortality over 1-3 years. CR participation is

    associated with a 13-24% reduction in total mortality over 1-3 years

    • CR reduces avoidable re- hospitalization, up to 30%

    • CR is clinically effective for people who have or have had:

    • A heart attack • A percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) • CABG surgery, heart valve replacement or repair, or a heart

    or heart-lung transplant • Chronic stable angina • Chronic stable heart failure

    PresenterPresentation NotesThe following slides review what evidence can support CR teams/champions to MAKE THE CASE to their team, their patients and their leadership to increase CR participation.

    PARTICIPANTS FOR SYSTEMS AND SOCIETY

    FOR SYSTEMS & SOCIETY

    FOR HOSPITALS/HEALTH SYSTEMS

    • National guidelines indicate that CR is a class 1a recommendation (AHA/ACC) for MI & CABG

    • CR promotes better quality, care management and limits avoidable adverse events

    − CR has reduced emergency department, avoidable hospitalizations and long-term care utilization

    • CR is a relatively low-cost intervention compared to inpatient treatments for acute cardiac conditions, and provides a high return on investment given the impact of its benefits

    PARTICIPANTS REIMBURSEENT FOR HOSPITALS/HEALTH SYSTEMS: Reimbursement Overview

    • Medicare Part B (Medical, vs. Inpatient Hospital, Insurance) and most private insurance provide coverage for cardiac rehabilitation.

    • CMS has increased reimbursement over time.

    • Two CPT codes for CR:

    93798

    93797

    1

    2

    PresenterPresentation NotesCR is an outpatient service, covered by Medicare Part B in 2 setting only: hospital outpatient service (primarily) or physician practice (MD owned-very rare because reimbursement is too low to be financially viable). See: https://www.medicare.gov/coverage/cardiac-rehabilitation-programs for more information

    The two CPT codes include exercise and education, both important (and required by Medicare) components of a comprehensive CR program.

    Because CR is the standard of care for selected cardiac diagnoses/events, private insurers typically cover CR.

    Early outpatient CR, historically referred to as “Phase II”, is typically up to 36 sessions over 3-9 months (individualized delivery paradigm determined by patient need).

    CR continues as a long-term maintenance (“Phase III-IV”) program, designed as a self-pay supervised CR program, emphasizing continued exercise and self-managed risk factor management through learned and practiced healthy lifestyle choices.

    PARTICIPANTS Data Tracking for Quality Improvement

    FOR HOSPITALS/HEALTH SYSTEMS: Data for Quality Improvement, Reporting

    − Tracking data as part of TAKEheart can support quality improvement

    − Increasingly, CR metrics (referral, enrollment,

    adherence rates; time to refer, etc.) are also being incorporated into quality performance programs and can drive reimbursement

    − Reporting performance and quality metrics promotes health systems’ ability to work in a value-based, risk-taking environment, increasingly prevalent among payers.

    PresenterPresentation NotesAutomating referrals is part of the TAKEheart intervention and that electronic prompt in patient records can jump start or accelerate electronic clinical data tracking more broadly for CR participants. Ongoing tracking of referrals as well as CR participation/completion rates, and general but related metrics such as readmissions, can all be part of a health system’s quality improvement and reporting strategy.

    Improved data tracking promotes quality improvement, specifically improving CR referral and participation rates, because data can illuminate any gaps and areas to concentrate on to improve those outcomes. Better collection and tracking of data may also support reporting of performance and quality metrics (more, better data can increase reliability of measures reported) and can improve those rates (better quality data increases ability to report complete measures; and improved processes can lead to better outcomes).

    Reporting performance and quality metrics promotes health systems’ ability to work in a value-based, risk-taking environment, increasingly prevalent among payers. To the extent payment is tied to reporting of QMs in your health system, improved quality scores can be tied to reimbursement– this is the underlying ethos of ‘pay for performance’ and ‘value based payment’ models. . Insurers are showing interest in referral rates as quality measure and factor in value-based payment. Payers increasingly looking at referral rates—for example, closed referral loop measures, emphasizing importance of referral and adherence in CR

    In sum, delivery reform efforts bode for better care management, quality

    Additional references:There are numerous CR measures in quality performance/measurement programs, (referral, enrollment, adherence rates; time to refer, etc.) so completing these can contribute to gains in those reporting programs For Medicare: QPP for outpatient settings (Medicare Part B), IPPS for inpatient settings (Medicare Part A) : https://qpp.cms.gov/; https://www.cms.gov/Medicare/Medicare-Fee-for-Service-Payment/AcuteInpatientPPS/index.html.

    PARTICIPANTS HOW TO DEMONSTRATE TO YOUR TEAM THAT CARDIAC REHAB IS WORTH INVESTING IN

    FOR HOSPITALS/HEALTH SYSTEMS: Preparing for Value-Based Care

    • Payers recognizing importance of managing cardiac care, while highlighting the importance of CR:

    − One example of a value based program that incentivizes better outcomes and reducing unnecessary expenditures in cardiac care is the CMS Bundled Payments for Care Improvement (Advanced) [BPCI-A]

    − While improving cardiac care overall is incentivized, CR is not counted as a cost for the BPCI payment calculations. That means that hospitals get the benefit of better outcomes when they more often refer to CR, without the costs showing up in the BP cost calculation. − CMS recognizes that CR utilization incentivizes good outcomes.

    PresenterPresentation NotesEpisode based care is a type of pay for performance model, which incentivize managing services for patients over the course of an “episode” for a fixed payment amount

    For more information on BPCI-Advanced, see:  https://innovation.cms.gov/initiatives/bpci-advanced; https://www.acc.org/latest-in-cardiology/articles/2018/10/09/15/32/cms-announces-first-bpci-advanced-cohort. Of the 32 episodes of care included in the program, 29 are inpatient and include AMI, cardiac arrhythmia, cardiac defibrillator, cardiac valve, congestive heart failure, coronary artery bypass grafting, pacemaker and percutaneous coronary intervention. Additionally, BPCI-A includes three cardiac outpatient clinical episodes, including cardiac defibrillator and PCI.

    Meanwhile, BPCI and other CMS innovation models EXCLUDE CR from episodes, limiting any disincentive from utilization. CMMI acknowledges CR- so much so that CR is carved out of BPCI. Takes away unintended consequence/incentive to minimize utilization in context of an episodic or global payment.
