Next Generation Home Health Strategies

Keith Crawford, SVP

Overview

Keith H Crawford, Coram, Senior Vice President, Strategic Initiatives

Session Description:

Home Health has quickly grown into an integral part of our long-term strategy to

reduce the costs of healthcare while improving quality of care. In order to develop

and implement a successful Home Health strategy, organizations much focus on a

number of factors including patient ownership of their health, technology,

communication and collaboration. During this session, attendees will learn some of

the ways that Home Health is changing a care providers business model and how to

build the correct Home Health strategy for your organization.

Learning Objectives: Discuss how to work with various third party organizations and technology

providers to develop a successful Home Health strategy for your organization

Develop a deeper understanding of the role secure information sharing and interoperability plays in Home Health

Whether referred to as integrated healthcare or accountable care, the current focus on new healthcare models is a reaction to long-standing concerns around quality, cost, and efficiency.

Many of these issues stem from care delivery systems that have been: Directed more at acute, episodic treatment rather than prevention and early

intervention Fragmented rather than integrated and coordinated Focused on patient eligibility and billing rather than patient engagement within

and outside of the care setting Customized to the idiosyncrasies of individual facilities rather than

standardized across care sites Rewarded more for volume than for quality and cost outcomes

The resulting inefficiencies have made healthcare less effective, less safe, and more costly than can be tolerated…

Healthcare Delivery

Keith Crawford, SVP Coram Specialty Infusion

New care models represent an effort to solve deeply embedded healthcare delivery problems experienced by organizations of all sizes. Part of the solution is better quality and cost measurement and broader knowledge sharing…

Underneath their often complex regulations, Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) and Integrated Healthcare Organizations (IHOs) share a similar backbone – the drive to address population health management.

Population HealthPopulation health management can be understood as the practice of engaging a clearly defined group of patients and providers across the care continuum. The goal is simply to enable better health outcomes for all at the lowest cost.

The pillars of population health are summed up in the Triple Aim of the Institute for Healthcare Improvement:

Provide better health outcomes for the population served Enhance each individual’s experience of care Reduce the per capita cost of care

New Care Models

Keith Crawford, SVP Coram Specialty Infusion

The intent of population health management is to replace fragmented, episodic care delivery with a holistic, coordinated approach that improves the health outcomes and experience of care for the population served, while lowering per capita costs.

To be capable of providing true value for population health management - an healthcare information technology platform requires three foundational “layers”:

Data CollectionElectronic repositories that record patient care from two perspectives–clinical (Electronic Medical Records) and administrative (revenue cycle, claims)

System IntelligenceRules-based workflow that enables the leveraging of clinical and operational guidelines and policies throughout the care process – predictive modeling

Data InteroperabilityStandards-based Health Information Exchange (HIE) technology that enables data, workflow and applications to be uniformly accessible across the community of care

Epidemiologic Impact / Age Wave

In 2011 – The first of the baby boomers turn 65• 10,000 Americans celebrate a 65th birthday daily • 80% have three or more chronic conditions (Co-Morbidities)• Highest per capita annual healthcare spend (~$15,000)

Adults 65 years and older account for:• 30% of all doctor’s office visits • 58% of all in-hospital days of care• 70% of all <30 days hospital readmission • 80% of home care visits

The Senior Boom• 79 million Baby Boomers in the U.S.• Boomers are between the ages of 47 and 65• By 2030, 26% of the population will be 65 or older • 60% use social networking, 55% have smart phones

One of the most important social phenomena which the U.S. will experience is the coming “Age Wave” which will impact virtually every aspect our society and dramatically impact our healthcare system

Boomer generation controls 77% of all U.S. financial assets

They control 55% of discretionary spending

Healthcare Information Technology

The limitations of paper-based care documentation have been well-established. Such systems slow the dissemination of vital information, introduce greater likelihood of error, and add cost and inefficiency to patient care.

An EMR, in contrast, creates a dynamic electronic record of patient encounters over time, iteratively adding data on patient demographics and problems, clinician notes, treatment recommendations, medications, vital signs, and other information.

According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, “Increased adoption of EMRs has the power to cut health care costs, reduce paperwork, improve outcomes, and give patients more control over their health care, while maintaining full protections on the privacy of individual health information.”

Industry-wide, total savings could range up to $100 billion over the next 10

Centroid of Care

Currently the hospital acts as the “centroid of care” with providers organizing care activities around that setting.

The use of EMR is customized to the idiosyncrasies of individual facilities rather than standardized across care settings - leading to transactional care and elusive longitudinal medical records.

The consequences of fragment care and disparate EMRs puts the patient at risk and removes them from proactively managing their health. Patient

Complete exchange of health-related information that meets interoperability standards and can be created, managed, and consulted by authorized clinicians, staff, and patient across more than one health care organization – the patient becomes the “Centroid of Care”
