PhDs can use open health data
But the goal is to open it to the masses and let 1000 flowers bloom.
In other words, can these guys use it?
Let’s give it a shot

Government is releasing lots of data….
And it’s been hard work….

Let’s cut through

Dartmouth Atlas for Unwarranted Variation(Decades of research and data on unwarranted variation by condition and geography to keep things apples-to-apples for comparisons, hence “Unwarranted” in the name)
New Government Released Performance Data (Individual providers, groups, hospitals and post acute centers including the new part B&D)
Provider Pattern Intensity Profiles and Risk Readiness for every provider, hospital, post acute center in the US. All preloaded with no IT.
OPEN DATA – Particularly powerful when pulled together
Affordable Care Act data to determine Risk-Readiness of Providers / Networks
CMS: 50% of FFS will be gone by 2018
The business context has changed- health plans, government payers, providers, and hospital systems need to develop Risk-Readiness SM
strategies to excel as they transition from fee-for-service to pay-for value.

At the core of Risk-Readiness SM is
Unwarranted Variation:
RowdMap applies the Dartmouth Atlas for Unwarranted Variation methodologies to data on Medicare Parts B & D. This research has been repeatedly validated over the last 30 years and we now have a national data set to apply the methodologies at a large scale.
The estimated 30% of medical expense that goes to unnecessary care. This unnecessary spend drives billing in a fee-for-serve economic model, but success in pay-for-value comes from managing and mitigating these pockets of variation.
Every provider has a unique practice pattern that informs Risk-Readiness SM

Risk-Readiness℠ looks at a different category of spending
Shift focus from clinical edits, audits, and recovery efforts to identifying care that is clinically appropriate, but unnecessary. Historical efforts have shown returns, but they only look at a fraction of total spending. Unnecessary care can account for up to 30% of total spending and provides significantly larger opportunities for cost containment and quality improvement.
Clinically Appropriate, but Unnecessary Care
(30% of spend)
Claims Spend for a Health Plan
Necessary Utilization(70%)
“It’s generally agreed that about 30 percent of what we spend on health care is unnecessary. If we
eliminate the unneeded care, there are more than enough resources in
our system to cover everybody.”

Physicians Driving Unnecessary Care in Broward
Musculoskeletal care is major contributor to unnecessary spend in Broward. Let’s take a physician who is not an outlier but in the middle of the pack such as Dr.
Spend*. Let’s walk through what his clinically acceptable, but medically unnecessary, practice pattern creates in unnecessary spend.

Option 1: Change provider behavior. Requires lots of provider education. Requires
payer to make up a significant portion of a provider’s revenue. Increase the number of

If had same ratio as :• His decompression rate would drop from
6.01 to 0.436 per patient.• Which translates to 2,608 fewer
decompressions per year.• At an average cost of $332 per
decompression, this represents potential savings of over $850K
If decompression to fusion rate were average for orthopedic surgeons:
• He would have 1629 fewer decompressions for a potential savings of $540K.

That’s one physician, with one procedure, in one clinical condition. This savings would not be picked up in unit cost or utilization analysis,
but cumulatively dwarfs fraud, waste and abuse outliers. Intense practice patterns like this power FFS arrangements
but success in Pay for Value comes from identifying Risk-Ready providers.
