Current Coverage Landscape Federal: Covered by Medicare States: covered as a standard benefit in 43/50 State employees
and 47/50 State Medicaid Plans Employer Coverage:
40% of plans <500 employees Small employers coverage is growing at 8% per year This is the group targeted by EHB 76% of plans with 20,000 or more employees
Mandated Coverage: New Hampshire, Indiana, Maryland Georgia and Virginia – employers have to be offered the ability to buy
coverage State Rule regarding medical necessity and HMO regulation also
require coverage: Michigan, New York, California

The Biology of Obesity and Mechanism of Action of Surgery

COE was Established for a Reason To improve quality and patient safety
It has contributed to a decrease in mortality (0.4 to 0.1%)
Established a culture of outcomes reporting in community hospitals/surgeons
Primary quality discriminator was facility volume of >125 cases
Very low volume programs dropped out of the market
Original 10 standards were interpreted by BSRC and “details” added over time – making it more “prescriptive” and more expensive for facilities to provide
Support from CMS in 2006 and other payers

Drivers for Evolution of the ASMBS BSCOE Program Membership have questioned the volume requirement– they feel they
cannot impact this type of structural measure and it does not reflect the quality of work they are doing
Volumes are going down in some places making it difficult to continue to qualify for programs that have participated
The quality conversation has moved forward to use composite measures of quality for outcome discrimination
No quality improvement process in place within our structure at this time
Continue to have two quality programs in our field (ASMBS and ACS) Basis of some recommendations (based on surgeon best opinion)
may not contribute to quality and is expensive for programs to maintain. Need to clarify this within our requirements
Payer have compared their data to our programs and found that some of our programs have worse outcomes than other programs in their network but not in our program (BCBS Michigan and Leapfrog are no longer requiring the ASMBS BSCOE or ACS BSN designation)

GOAL is to find common ground and establish areas of collaboration

Areas that represent common ground between ASMBS and ACS Collaborative Design of the ASMBS Bariatric Quality
Improvement Program with joint implementation Database and Analyses of Data Facility Credentialing Advocacy
Meeting with David Hoyt in September, 2011 in ChicagoMeeting with ACS Regents on the Division of Research and Optimal Patient CareVote by the Board of Regents to support the collaboration of the two societies:October of 2011

To evolve the program…. Predictable Quality to allow programs to compare their
outcomes to their peers with quality data Over time would lead to using the composite risk adjusted
outcomes measures to qualify for the program Eventually public reporting would be possible
Process Improvement to Improve Patient Safety Key project for the future with a goal to decrease morbidity and
improve long term outcomes Improve access for patients to surgery in their local area
If access to care for obesity surgery/treatment improves then we need to be prepared with well trained surgeons in programs involved in continuous QI

An outcomes measure that allows us to Predict Quality
Step 1:Development of a Bariatric Surgery Composite Measure
![Page 58: ASMBS Update Fall 2011](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012919/56816975550346895de1592d/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Currents measures for assessing excellence with bariatric surgery
• Structural measures (e.g., volume)– Narrow in scope, proxy for true performance– Not always strongly related to outcomes
• Process measures – Important processes are controversial/unknown in
bariatric surgery• Outcomes measures (e.g., risk-adjusted morbidity)
– “Noisy” due to small sample sizes at some hospitals– Need detailed data for risk-adjustment
![Page 59: ASMBS Update Fall 2011](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012919/56816975550346895de1592d/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Composite Measure Allows outcomes from a variety of quality signals to be taken
into account Includes surgeon and facility volume All quality signals used are “risk adjusted” prior to
incorporation into the model Gives the most accurate prediction of future performance
available

Step 2: Establish a new quality matrix (currently in development) Mandatory
Has established the ASMBS National QI Database to enter all patients Participates in the ASMBS BSCOE NBQIP Has the ASMBS/ACS/SAGES Credentialing for surgeons doing bariatric surgery in place Has put in place a thromboprophylaxis protocol Has a transfer agreement to a tertiary center for rescue of complicated patients
Recommended Staff in service on recognizing signs and symptoms of complications Patients satisfaction surveys Other key process protocols (SCIP measures, MOC CME’s)
Best Practice Bariatric Service Line Medical Director Tertiary Care (Receives complex cases from smaller/rural programs through network of
agreements, revisions, sophisticated rescue techniques (24 hour ICU care) Sensitivity Training
![Page 63: ASMBS Update Fall 2011](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022012919/56816975550346895de1592d/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Step 3: ASMBS National BSIP Database Select or develop further a database that allows us to have
increased functionality and be able to generate risk adjusted and reliability adjusted composite measures and areas to target improvement for continuous quality improvement
Provide monthly data abstracting to lower volume/rural programs through the society so that ongoing data validation can be performed and standardized (this option currently being explored) After each data entry is done (monthly) reports are immediately available to give feedback to the surgeons/program
Initial instruction on data entry and then annual data validation for larger programs

Step 3: Collaborative Quality Improvement
Basic idea: Physicians/hospitals collaborate with and learn from each other in improving outcomes
Robust data and feedback re process and outcomes
Empirical and non-empirical identification of best practices Leveraging “natural experiments” associated with variation in practice across
hospitals and physicians
Continuous development, implementation and testing of QI interventions Use the ASMBS State Chapters and ACS State Chapters to focus this
effort regionally and the annual meeting to focus nationally

by patient factors Statewide practice guidelines for prophylaxis according to
patient risk Based on both empirical analysis and group consensus

ASMBS BSCOE The most impactful quality and safety program on a nationwide
basis in bariatric surgery Established a culture of compliance with requirements to
implement structure and process and reporting of outcomes Poised to transform into a outcomes based and process
improvement program – based on composite measure (predictive) rather than volume (proxy)
Composite measure rich enough to give programs targets for improvement
Site inspections for data validation (RN team) Site inspections to improve process (surgeons/others
depending on need) All programs engage in process improvement at the first
