CURRENT TRENDS

Presenter
Presentation Notes
Current trends include Focus on acuity Capture everything you do in the clinical record Train staff to understand the importance of charting Optimize revenue Focus on cost containment

EVOLVING AND FUTURE FOCUS

BUNDLED PAYMENTS AND ACCOUNTABLE CARE ORGANIZATIONS

Presenter
Presentation Notes
Bundled payments and accountable care organizations Define Why formed? Episode of care vs. location of care Cost containment across the continuum Major tenets A la carte vs. prix fixe Expectations Fewer complications Fewer readmission Fewer infections These are examples of risk contracts. Developing capabilities and infrastructure to take on these risks will help position for continued success Gaining increasing momentum

DRAMATIC CHANGES ANNOUNCED BY MEDICARE – VALUE OVER VOLUME

Presenter
Presentation Notes
Reinvent Medicaid Focus on high cost / high utilization population Focuses on overutilization Pay for value not volume Improve quality, affordability and efficiency Medicare – January announcement of dramatic changes Moving from volume to value in payments How will value be quantified?

HOW THE CHANGING LANDSCAPE AFFECTS SUPPLY

AND DEMAND

Presenter
Presentation Notes
Input and reviews for the changing landscape Demand side Consumers – one price, coordinated team, clarity Employers – lower health care costs, reduced absenteeism Supply side Providers – cost savings and commitment to expanding Health insurers – undercurrent of skepticism

HOW TO UNDERSTAND AND EVALUATE RISK AND PERFORMANCE

Presenter
Presentation Notes
How to understand and evaluate risks and performance?

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

Presenter
Presentation Notes
Need to know True costs of taking care of the patient What is the full cost of care and how do we capture cost savings? How do we calculate this?

SYSTEM CHANGES – WHAT DOES THIS

MEAN?

Presenter
Presentation Notes
We come from FFS systems that are designed to process claims every time a service / patient day was provided at a set rate based on cost Now we have to operate alongside or outside these systems Need to understand the contract provisions – how are we being measured? Need to understand historical data –what are the benchmarks? Need details. Cost accounting needs are stronger than ever.

THE DEVIL IS IN THE DETAILS

Presenter
Presentation Notes
The devil is in the details Data Census Earned rate Paid rate Cost allocations / discrete costing

New service providers are building businesses around publishing care protocols and providing sophisticated IT tools

EVALUATIVE REPORTS

Presenter
Presentation Notes
And we have new tools -evaluative reports Program for Evaluating Payment Patterns Electronic Report (PEPPER) Avalere Market analysis reports derived from detailed analysis of Medicare data Hospital readmissions One year analysis of RI Medicare FFS beneficiaries – state average 30 day readmission rate - 21.9 Number of 30 day readmissions - 1713 Number of admissions to SNF from a hospital – 7822 OIG reports acute readmissions from SNFs to hospital varies significantly based on quality rating and geography More than 3 stars generally has a 4 percentage point better rate when compared to 3 stars or less National average – 25% high – Louisiana; Low - Hawaii
Presenter
Presentation Notes
PEPPER report – Summarizes provider-specific data for Medicare services that may be at higher risk for improper Medicare payments

WHAT ABOUT THE DATA?

Presenter
Presentation Notes
Data What is the cost of providing care under each contract? Is the computer system designed to capture and report this data? What info is most useful? Is the info timely? What is the utilization? How does cost match the reimbursement? What do we currently have and how do we use it?

Presenter
Presentation Notes
Discrete cost analysis Most SNFs have designed the chart of accounts to match Medicaid cost reporting This focused on carving out costs that are specific (and variable) to each payor population See how this information can be used to better understand therapy costs by payor Discuss analysis and results
