Implications for Employees
• More choice of plans • Increased choice of ancillary products
(dental, vision, critical illness, etc.) • May “trade down” to cheaper options –
higher deductibles, narrow/tiered networks
Linking the Triple Aim to Strategy
• Better health of a population
• Better patient experience
• Lower per capita cost
Challenges
• Identifying the “population”
• Developing a solid data analysis system/IT
• Establishing a care management team (roles, responsibilities and workflows)
• Quantifying outcomes beyond cost of care
Essential Components
• Risk based payment • Infrastructure
– IT – Experienced
care management teams – Scale
• Alignment of provider incentives • Engaging the consumer
