» EED, hospital processes » Progesterone – hospital & * outside hospital processes
• Addicted Infants » NAS hospital processes
• Addicted mothers » *pre-hospital processes

How DO We Get Off the Ground Floor?
• Step back for broader perspective • Set audacious goals (Cut preterm births by 50%, End racial disparities) • Think about high level pieces of work (Key Driver) & partners • Then drill down • Patiently
• Result? A different solution & direction collectively
• Examples…

Date Milestones in Progesterone Performance Improvement Effort July 2013 • MCPs coverage expanded to statewide
• Presumptive eligibility for Pregnant women • Enhanced Maternal Care Requirements integrated into Managed Care Plan Provider Agreement
October 2013 • Go Live--Ohio Benefits self-service portal January 2014 • Medicaid Expansion–women under 138% of FPL newly eligible under ACA
May 2014 • Vital Statistics linked to Medicaid Claims to Identify High Risk Women based on previous preterm birth October 2014 • CMS approval of redesigned federally mandated performance improvement project
Dec 2014—June 2015
• Managed Care Plans trained on QI process and appropriate use of Progesterone for High Risk Women
Spring 2015
• Progesterone performance improvement project (Medicaid MCPs and OPQC affiliated sites) begins • Community-based infant mortality budget initiatives in to address health equity issues
July-September 2015 • Minimize Medicaid and MCP disenrollment due to annual redetermination
• Clinicians communicating pregnancy status (“skinny form”) • MCPs assigning care managers • Care Manager responsible for notifying county of pregnancy to ensure ongoing eligibility
November 2015 • All 23 OPQC sites use the skinny communication form identifying progesterone candidates
Feb 2016 • Removal of PA on all forms of Progesterone and associated Home Health Visits

How Can we Think About NAS and MOMS Differently with Sustainability in Mind? • ? A patient centered medical home for maternity population? • ? Episodes of Care for Medication Assisted treatment? • How might the Re-Design of the behavioral health system impact the care
and outcomes of these families?
• Do we have the data, content, evidence, partners, sequencing, scope intensity of ideal practice sufficiently delineated for an effective bundle?

SUSTAINABILITY: Shift to population- and episode-based payment
Payment approach Most applicable for
▪ Primary prevention for healthy population
▪ Care for chronically ill (e.g., managing obesity, CHF)
▪ Acute procedures (e.g., CABG, hips, stent)
▪ Most inpatient stays including newborn deliveries, readmissions
▪ Acute outpatient care (e.g., broken arm)
▪ Discrete services correlated with favorable outcomes or lower cost
Population-based: (PCMH, ACOs, capitation)
Episode-based
Fee-for-service (including pay for performance)
Value-Based Alternatives to Fee-for Service
Fee for Service Pay for Performance
Patient-Centered Medical Home
Episode-Based
Payment
Accountable Care
Organization
Fee for Service Incentive-Based Payment Transfer Risk
Ohio’s State Innovation Model (SIM) focuses on (1) increasing access to comprehensive primary care and (2) implementing episode-based payments
Payment for services rendered
Payment based on improvements in cost or outcomes
Payment encourages primary care practices to organize and deliver care that broaden access while improving care coordination, leading to better outcomes and a lower total cost of care
Payment based on performance in outcomes or cost for all of the services needed by a patient, across multiple providers, for a specific treatment condition
Payment goes to a local provider entity responsible for all of the health care and related expenditures for a defined population of patients
v
High performing primary care practices engage in these activities to keep patients well and hold down the total cost of care

▪ Measures will be refined based on learnings from initial roll-out
▪ Hybrid measures that require electronic health record (EHR) may be added to the list of core measures
▪ Hybrid measures may replace some of the core measures
▪ Reduction in variability in performance between different socioeconomic demographics may be included as a CPC requirement
Measures will evolve over time
