Navigating the Future of Healthcare: A New Model of Care Delivery
Kenneth H. Paulus Diane Gilworth April, 2008
Agenda
• Review Allina Structure • Discuss market and key drivers for change
• Review the Allina and Harvard Vanguard strategy and patient care model • Key Imperatives
What is Allina Health System?
• 501c3 non-profit organization • $2.5B health care delivery organization covering the state of Minnesota and western Wisconsin • 23,000 employees • Two tertiary hospitals, three community hospitals, six rural hospitals, a 600 physician clinic with 50 sites
What is wrong with health care in the States and what is being done about it?
• Costs are „out of control‟ • Quality is not optimal, with no real breakthrough in sight • Value is significantly behind that of other developed countries • There is an opportunity for a significant breakthrough, and it is likely to happen in the next 10 years
Costs continue to rise at a steady pace…
How are costs changing by diagnosis?
Cardiac, Orthopedics, Cancer are the Largest Cost Drivers

How is the industry responding to this challenge?
1. Pass on financial risk and responsibility to the consumer/patient
2. Hold providers accountable for quality and costs via „pay for performance‟ reimbursement
Employers are shifting costs to employees
$3,552
Dramatic increase in out-of-pocket costs for insured employees

+56%

2004
Early results of cost shifting to patients…
• Significant reduction of Behavioral Health visits – 30% • Sizeable reduction of physician office visits – 15% • Slight reduction of ED visits – 5% • Virtually no impact on hospital utilization
Pay for Performance: Does physician practice variation contribute to outcomes?

First, attack the problem from a population perspective…

Acuity
Second, break down the problem/opportunity into manageable components…
The Well
The Chronically Ill
The Acute
End of Life
1st Imperative: Prevent illness efficiently
• There is not enough money in the system to manage wellness using physician or nurse time
•
The Well
•
Information technology has the potential to drive significant improvements in health very inexpensively
– – On-line risk assessment with automated link to provider team Regular „alerts‟ to patients to drive health improvement
The assessment of health and genetic risk will start with the patient, and the transfer of knowledge will provide the tools for improvement
2nd Imperative: Aggressively manage chronic illness through the primary care team
• The management of chronic illness should be the domain of the primary care team Provide these teams the information needed to assess their panel of chronic illness patients and measure performance
The Chronically Ill
•
•
Re-define the roles of the team to push simple chronic illness care and education to the nurse/NP Develop centralized and virtual disease management programs that improve outcomes efficiently
•
3rd Imperative: Concentrate acute and tertiary care at Centers of Excellence
• Drive tertiary care centrally to reap the benefits of volume and expertise • Establish clear performance metrics for outcomes and cost • Link acute care Emergency and ICU with community providers effectively – Level I program – eICU
The Acute
4th Imperative: Provide effective critical and palliative care
• A significant percentage of costs reside in care provided in the last six months of life • An effective palliative care program reduces costs and improves perceived quality • The use of data to track the critically ill provides an opportunity for significant savings • A program of targeted home and hospice care can be centralized effectively
End of Life
5th Imperative: Integrate care across disease states – Cardiology, Cancer, Neurosciences, Rehab…
• Profile provider and team performance by episode and disease treatment effectiveness • Integrate disease management activities across the entire care system – Complex Care (CCC/CHF) program • Drive to high levels of evidence based care by specialty using EMR and data warehouse • Use nurse call center as integrator
Patient Care Integration
6th Imperative – Build the patient care model on a solid foundation
• Engaged Employees: 65% of employees rate engagement as excellent, 90% rate it as good/excellent Physician Collaboration: Two models of collaboration – independent alliance/or employment. Must meet standards of evidence based medicine and use standard order sets 70% of time
Knowledge & Information: Development of a data warehouse and „knowledge utility‟ that is available to all components of the system – providers and patients alike (MyChart)
•

•
Performance Excellence: 90th percentile of national HCAPS standard for patient satisfaction

Goals of the CCC Program
• Improve care experience of patients with multiple co-morbid and/or high-risk conditions. • Improve clinical outcomes and patient quality of life by providing care that is:
– coordinated across the practice, – maintains continuity and frequent contact, – excels in patient education and self-management
• Reduce overall cost of medical care
Intervention
• CHF to CCC in 6 sites in 2006 • CHF NP‟s trained -DM, CRI, geriatrics • RN call center-outbound phone surveillance between visits • Social work, nutrition • Collaboration– Cardiology – Nephrology – Endocrinology – Primary Care cards
Eligible Patients
2 or more the following co-morbid conditions
Primary Disease Hospitalizaiton with 12 months Clinical CHF none systolic or diastolic dysfunction CRI Diabetes CAD none 2 or more for CAD, 2 or more and/or and/or creat Cl < 60 Ha1c > 8.0 SBP > 140 LDL > 100 SBP > 140, Ha1c > 8.0, LDL > 100, PVD
Assumption: Improving Clinical Processes and Intermediate Outcome Metrics Will Lead to fewer hospitals and reduced costs
Risk reductions occurred early and were maintained
Macrovascular end-points 20% overall reduction in cardiovascular events higher than any other single intervention study
Microvascular end-point achieved at 4 years were maintained

United Kingdom Prospective Diabetes Study (UKPDS) 35 was a prospective observational study of 4,585 DM patients with a mean a ge of 53 years. Median follow-up time (duration of diabetes) was 10 years. HF=heart failure; MI=myocardial infarction. Stratton IM, et al. BMJ. 2000;321:405-412.
EPIC-Norfolk Study: Even Small Changes in HbA1c May Impact Mortality

Reduction in Mortality
*Over 80% of population excess mortality associated with HbA1c concentrations above 5% occurred in 70% of the population with HbA1c concentrations of 5.0%–6.9%.
