Health Reform• Maintaining/expanding coverage will require
effective action to improve quality and drive-out cost…getting better value
• The current system is unsustainable • Great opportunities to improve quality and drive-out
cost

Exchange Should Be More Than Clearinghouse for Plans
• Broad authorities set out in Affordable Care Act• Be active purchasers• Provide consumers with information and tools they
need to make value-based decisions about their coverage and selection of providers
• Convey quality and cost information to consumers

Quality Problems and Opportunities• 30% of health care costs due to poor quality• This resultant cost is about $2,900 per covered
employee• Preventable deaths from hospital medical errors claim up
to 195,000 lives per year• Hospital associated infections account for 1.7 M
infections and 99,000 deaths each year• This results in annual direct cost of $25 to $31.5 billion• About one-third of common surgical procedures may not
be necessary• About one-half of recommended care is received• “About 70% of what we do is non-value added (waste)”
John Toussaint, MD, ThedaCare5

Quality of Care in Iowa• Iowa has tradition of quality• Recent report by Federal Agency for Healthcare
Research and Quality (AHRQ) ranks Iowa in average range among the states
• Great opportunities for improvement

AHRQ Three Themes • Health care quality needs to be improved,
particularly for uninsured • Some areas merit urgent attention including patient
safety and health associated infections• Quality is improving, but at a slow pace, especially
for prevention and chronic disease management

What will it take to motivate providers?
• Three major approaches:1) Regulation/accreditation, 2) Financial incentives and, 3) Public reporting of performance and feedback to providers
• Meaningful public reporting is most promising Source: Lucian Leape, MD, Harvard

Improving Quality• “ Consistent advancing quality requires
transparency…. it’s hard to have safety where you don’t have transparency”

Providers Have Concerns• One key barrier raised to public reporting: lawsuits
might be prompted• Not necessarily an issue• University of Michigan Health System adopted full
disclosure and compensation-offer policy. Within seven years new claims decreased by 64% and rate of lawsuits fell by 35%

Financial Incentives • Meaningful public reporting also necessary to
improve financial incentives• Accountable Care Organizations have potential for
improving quality and affordability• Four big concerns raised:
– Will ACOs be delivering to fullest potential?– Beware of emerging cartels– Alignment between public and private sectors– Are patient-centered provisions in place?
• Measurements and transparency are key to answer these concerns

IHBA Consumers’ Guides• Guide 4: Ranking of Hospitals for Chronic Care,
Greater Iowa Area• Large variation in amount of hospital care
depending on which hospital provided the care• Dartmouth researchers conclude “aggressive
medical care can lead to more pain, with no gain”

Good Work Underway For Public Reporting
• Measures: National Quality Forum• Producing information: CMS, Dartmouth
Atlas, Leapfrog Group and AHRQ• Public Reporting: Most states provide some
meaningful public reporting. Leaders include Pennsylvania, Florida, Massachusetts, Maine, Minnesota and Wisconsin

Iowa Public Reporting• While Iowa is behind the leading states in
meaningful public reporting of provider performance it can become a leader as in others fields

Growing Broad Support for Public Reporting in Iowa
• Iowa GOP and Democratic leaders support• Iowa Association of Business and Industry (ABI)
Policy Position “supports increased transparency in health care including providers’ quality, outcomes, and fees”
• Increased media coverage and attention

Recommendations1) Commission should endorse and fully support as a
goal the comparative public reporting of health provider quality, patient safety, outcomes, and cost that is meaningful to consumers, patients, and purchasers
2) The Commission should recommend that the Iowa Exchange provide consumers with information about selection of providers as well as coverage.
It should be designated to help drive meaning public reporting of provider performance in Iowa for consumers, patients, and purchases

Recommendations3) The Commission should recommend that the State
of Iowa should further transparency and meaningful public reporting through value-based purchasing by the two major purchasers - the Department of Administrative Services and the Iowa Medicaid Program
4) The Commission should review and report on efforts underway in other states to increase transparency and meaningful public reporting and include the findings in its final report
