ACOs/PCMHs and Employers

Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) and Patient CenteredMedical Home (PCMH) similarities:

Care models that make physicians and hospitals more accountableOutcomes oriented, performance-based with aligned incentivesGoal: improve value of health services, control costs, improve qualityACOs/PCMHs share in a portion of savings gained

Including workplace in ACO/PCMH development is logicalWork impacts health and health impacts work

Workplace is organically connected to home as personal health risks aren’tleft at home just as occupational risks aren’t left at work…

Employers have unique infrastructure advantages that could helpACO/PCMH initiatives.

Of the more than $3 trillion/yr spent on U.S. health care

Patients with chronic diseases account for 75% of U.S. healthcare costs

Of every dollar spent…

…75 cents went towards treating

patients with one or more chronic diseases

150 Million Americans with 1 or more Chronic Conditions 27% of rise in healthcare costs associated with the increase in obesity rates

The Waist Line impacts the Bottom Line

And yet, less than 5 cents of each healthcare dollar is spent on Prevention

5 Health Factors that mitigate Chronic Illness

1) Walking 30 minutes a day2) Eating healthy3) Not using tobacco4) Drinking alcohol only in moderation5) Waist size less than half of your height

These result in 33% to 50% Less Lifetime Healthcare Costs If 75% of Americans had these health characteristics, between

$600 Billion and $1 Trillion could be saved per year
