A Brief History of Pay for Performance (P4P)
• 1980s and 1990s– Increase in HMOs and managed care
• Capitated payment models
– Physician incentives based on financial performance
• 2000-Present – Institute of Medicine reports
• To Err is Human and Crossing the Quality Chasm• Rewarding provider Performance
– Physician and hospital incentives based on clinical performance
– Legislated changes– Pay for Reporting (2% penalty)– Senate and CMS models for value-based purchasing

What Patients Should Expect (IOM Crossing the Quality Chasm, p. 67)
What Patients Sometimes Receive
Care is beyond the patient visits, wherever you need it
Care is fragmented
Individualization Care can be confusing and repetitive
Transparency Communication and information sometimes minimal
Information is a record and yours to know Integrated Electronic Health Records rarely exist; minimal and disjointed information given to patients
Decision-making is based on science Is care based on evidence-based practices?
“Do no harm” Is patient safety at the core of quality?
What are the simple rules for the 21st Century Healthcare System

Medicare will not cover hospitalizations and other services related to these non-covered procedures. All services provided in OR when an error occurs are considered related and therefore not covered. All providers in OR who could bill individually are not eligible for payment. All related services provided during same hospitalization are not covered.

Hospital-Acquired Conditions
These are conditions that are: high cost/volume, resulting in higher paying DRG when present as a secondary diagnosis, and which could reasonably have been prevented
1. Foreign Object Retained After Surgery2. Air Embolism3. Blood Incompatibility4. Pressure Ulcers (Stage III and IV)5. Falls and Trauma
(Fractures, Dislocations, Intracranial Injuries, Crushing Injuries, Burns, Electric Shock)

POA Indicator Descriptor
•Y Indicates that the condition was present on admission.
•W Affirms that the provider has determined based on data and clinical judgment that it is not possible to document when the onset of the condition occurred.
•N Indicates that the condition was not present on admission.•U Indicates that the documentation is insufficient to determine if
the condition was present at the time of admission.•1 Signifies exemption from POA reporting. CMS established
this code as a workaround to blank reporting on the electronic 4010A1. A list of exempt ICD-9-CM diagnosis codes is available in the ICD-9-CM Official

Payment Implications
• More impact on accounts where the HAC was a CC/MCCs
• More impact on accounts with few CC/MCCs– Heavier impact on small/rural facilities– Less impact on accounts with many other
CC/MCCs
• Impact on large facilities will increase as more CC/MCCs become HACs

South Carolina Medicaid
• HACs structured by MS-DRG, SC Medicaid still codes by Medicare DRG codes. Since FFS pays per diem, current MMIS could not simply remove the HAC and recalculate the DRG.
• Plan is for a third party to crosswalk the DRG to a MS-DRG, recalculate without the HAC and take a percent of total to the original total and apply that percentage to the per diem.

Purpose
To help our members prepare for healthcare reform and VBP, we established the SCHA finance-quality pilot. VBP will require hospital finance departments and hospital clinical quality staff to work closely together. The Workgroup had three primary goals:
![Page 76: 2010-2011 SC HFMA - Annual Institute Embassy Suites Hotel Columbia, SC July 30, 2010 Quality and Finance: The Stars Align Jason Sanders, Budget and Reimbursement,](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110403/56649e735503460f94b72df0/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)
Purpose
The Workgroup had three primary goals:• Identify best practices and models in S.C. hospitals that
promote the alignment of finance and quality,• Develop a model financial-quality dashboard to be used by
hospitals to track monthly quality outcomes.• Identify the data report elements that all S.C. hospitals can
easily utilize in their finance-quality work.

End Products
• Document on Characteristics and Best Practices at Hospitals with Quality-Finance-Clinical Alignment for VBP
• Compilation of best practices, policies and procedures
• Computer program to model and project data linking quality and finance on a monthly basis
• Sample dashboards which include statewide benchmark data
• Educational program collateral

Expected Outcomes
• Pilot sites adopt dashboards, computer program• 10 additional hospitals implement improvement
activities (adopting tools, establishing joint quality and finance team meetings)
• Surveys show improvement and identified needs met. Opportunities for future activities identified.
• Positive financial impact of implemented changes occurred.

Observations
Lack of “actionable data”– MySCHospital.org and HospitalCompare data is too old to
be used to resolve real-time problems– “Ahead of your time” – Michael T. Rapp, MD, JD, FACEP
CMS Director. Quality Measurement and Health Assessment Group
– High cost of quality data tracking systems– No cooperation from vendors– No peer comparisons outside of purchased reports or multi-
hospital systems
![Page 80: 2010-2011 SC HFMA - Annual Institute Embassy Suites Hotel Columbia, SC July 30, 2010 Quality and Finance: The Stars Align Jason Sanders, Budget and Reimbursement,](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110403/56649e735503460f94b72df0/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)
Observations
CFOs are unaware of the financial risk of VBP– No joint efforts between the quality and finance departments– Most quality teams do not include a financial specialist– Most CFOs do not attend quality meetings and have little
coordination with the clinical departments except for issues relating to finance
– Few cost accounting departments evaluate the additional cost of care due to quality errors – added LOS, higher level of care for corrective measures, legal risks
– Little comparison of hospital staffing levels outside of multi-hospital systems

Observations
Quality directors are uninformed about the financial risks of VBP– Few directors had knowledge of the Medicare cost reporting
structure– Few had an understanding of how CMS proposes to
penalize for non-compliance– Few had communicated the need for additional attention to
quality results during the budgeting process

Observations
Small and rural hospitals have the greatest risk of non-compliance– The lack of funds to purchase the necessary software and
support services– Dependency on paper records and totally manual
gathering quality measures data– Lack of budgetary allocations to provide the staff necessary
to perform analysis, recognize weaknesses and create recovery plans
– The lack of built-in edits of reported data– Dependency on CMS data results which are no longer
actionable because of their age.

Quality as a Key Component of Finance
• Component of reimbursement– Determines annual increases
• Component of cost– Poor quality has a defined cost
Must measure costs relative to quality
![Page 88: 2010-2011 SC HFMA - Annual Institute Embassy Suites Hotel Columbia, SC July 30, 2010 Quality and Finance: The Stars Align Jason Sanders, Budget and Reimbursement,](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022110403/56649e735503460f94b72df0/html5/thumbnails/88.jpg)
• Cost Accounting / Reporting– Never Events and HACs
• Lost reimbursement (net)• Cost of initial visit/procedure
– Cost of corrective visit/procedure
• Cost of increasing quality compared to the potential lost reimbursement
Internal Approaches

Internal Approaches
• Include quality as a component of productivity– Comparing costs not only to volume and
charges but to quality outcomes.– Does quality suffer if cost (staff) is
reduced?
• Re-evaluate the value of your quality department – now is a revenue department.

Measurement / Comparison Internally
• Staffing has usually been “negotiated” in budget based on history and demands rather than justified like all other expenses.
• There is little measurement of how staffing relates to outcomes in order to require accountability
• No predefined standards for data or calculations• Difficult to measure and evaluate because of variance in staffing
needs for sicker patients: Severity is a determinate of staffing intensity

Use of results• Identify productive and less-productive departments• Review strengths and weaknesses of each notable
variances to identify focus areas to either reduce cost by improved productivity and/or improve quality outcomes
• Highlight focus areas for monitoring and evaluation through use of value stream mapping (LEAN, Toyota, Six Sigma) or other technology/functional approaches
• Maintain routine measurements to identify successes, failures and new potential improvements
