Why Clinical Integration?
• Today’s volume-based, fee-for-service system is based on independence: each provider is paid for providing a discrete service, without regard to others’ performance.
• Tomorrow’s value-based payment systems, however, will demand interdependence: providers will be rewarded for quality and efficiency achieved through collaborative care.

Recent Trends in Cancer Care Clinical Integration Strategy

Prepared for SATRO ® 16th Annual Conference
Recent Trends in Cancer Care Clinical Integration Strategy
1. Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) model is becoming increasingly common for oncology to combat the high costs of oncology services.
2. Commonalities Among Top Oncology Programs, such as increasing focus on patient-centered care and cost-awareness.
3. Emerging Personalized, Molecular Treatments’ ability to specifically target molecular abnormalities driving tumors.
4. Genome-based Cancer Care “Arms Race” on patient genome sequencing capabilities to more precisely prevent and treat cancer.
5. Genome (vs. Tumor Site) Driving Future of Cancer Treatment to better treat patients’ specific cancers.

Patient-Centered Medical Homes
• CMS awarded a $19 million grant to implement PCMH models in seven oncology practices across the U.S.
Background
• Many oncology centers are developing oncology-based medical homes in an effort to improve care and quality while decreasing high costs associated with oncology.
Why PCMH?
• Accessible, comprehensive and coordinated care through a systems-based approach.
• Clinical staff better serve their patients by developing and maintaining an active partnership with them and providing proactive, preventative and chronic care management, which in turn, prevents complications and hospitalizations.
Benefits
April 24-25, 2014
Prepared for SATRO ® 16th Annual Conference
Patient-Centered Medical Homes• Gaps between quality and care delivery standards in oncology could be addressed
by PCMH model.
• PCMH principals could encourage rational utilization of healthcare resources through the use of:
Evidence-based guidelines
Reduced hospitalizations, ED visits, and imaging
Increased engagement with patients, especially for end-of-life care decisions
• The Results Don’t Lie!
Reduced hospitalizations, ER visits, imaging services, and diagnostics
Improved coordination of services, patient communication, and overall efficiency
The practice reduced its staff-to-physician ratio from 8.3 FTEs to 5.5 FTEs and increased its patient base by 30 percent

Genome-Based Cancer Care “Arms Race”
• Cancer care providers, particularly academic medical centers, are launching an “arms race” on patient genome sequencing capabilities in order to more precisely prevent and treat cancer. – Johns Hopkins – “systematic genomic sequencing program”
– Phoenix Children’s Hospital – Ronald A. Matricaria Institute of Molecular Medicine

General Considerations
April 24-25, 2014
Prepared for SATRO ® 16th Annual Conference
Consider: Transition to Coordinated Care
• Consolidation of the Hospital Market
– The number of hospitals that are part of a health system has been growing steadily for more than a decade.
– Almost 60% of hospitals are now part of a system.
– Health system executives are increasingly asking their oncology service line leaders to devise plans that promote coordination, collaboration, and more efficient use of resources.
April 24-25, 2014
Prepared for SATRO ® 16th Annual Conference
Consider: Transition to Coordinated Care
• Many health systems were created through mergers and acquisitions.
• Consequentially, cancer programs that were once competitors may find themselves part of the same institution, which is a challenging starting point for collaboration.
• Even if the cancer programs are located in different markets, they will likely have different organizational models, physician governance

Consider: Narrow Network Concerns for Cancer Centers
Cancer patients relieved that they can get insurance coverage because of the new health law may be disappointed to learn that some of the nation’s best cancer hospitals are off limits.
April 24-25, 2014
Prepared for SATRO ® 16th Annual Conference
Consider: Narrow Network Concerns for Cancer Centers
• The Associated Press surveyed 23 institutions around the country that are part of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN).
• Only four out of the 19 nationally recognized comprehensive cancer centers that responded to the survey said patients have access through all the insurance companies in their state exchange.
• These patients may not be able to get the most advanced treatment, including clinical trials and medications.
