Assessing the Potential to Achieve 21st Century Reforms
Public Sector Today
•Administered pricing•Fee-for-service platform•Volume vs. value•Rejection of SGR cap•Political aspect to demos, and difficulty moving to market adoption•Political impact on coverage decisions•Inability to assess high risk patients and target supportive programs
Private Sector Today
•Infrastructure to identify health risk, coordinate outreach and track outcomes•Encourage healthy behaviors: health coaching/wellness, smoking cessation, physical fitness•Access to health information & performance transparency•Nurse call lines – trouble shooting, respond with timely information•Flexibility to tailor DM programs to meet individual needs
Nurse case managers to monitor patient adherence, complications and provide tools and support to manage care
Use information technology to improve care coordination (PHRs, registries)
Hi-touch tools: phone/web based innovations, state of the art interactive voice response to support self management
Assess/reduce social and home factors that contribute to poor health care
Alerts to physicians and patients, re: drug interactions and missed opportunities
•Training in cultural competency and translation services•High quality service facilities (e.g. radiology) and Centers of Excellence •Payment models that incentivize value not volume•“At-risk” and “pay for performance” type arrangements with manufacturers and providers of specialty services
