Examples of Broad Systemic Reforms for Quality
![Page 4: Steven Asch Fostering Transformational Change In An Integrated System](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081516/54d1b1704a7959fc3b8b4639/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
In the Early 1990s, a Prominent Health Care Provider Was at a
Crossroads
• Its failings were widely publicized in the news media and popular movies
• Studies showed serious access, quality and satisfaction problems
• Some argued that this health organization needed new management
![Page 5: Steven Asch Fostering Transformational Change In An Integrated System](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081516/54d1b1704a7959fc3b8b4639/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
But Within 10 Years, Its Quality Greatly Improved
• The organization’s quality of care was found “significantly better” than that of Medicare on 11 out of 12 measures (Jha 2003)
• It provided better care than commercial insurers to diabetes patients on 7 out of 7 measures (Kerr 2004)

The VA Implemented Important Reforms
• Expansion of primary care
• Researcher-administrator partnership
• Electronic medical records system
– Tracks patients
– Alerts clinicians of needed care

The VA Implemented Important Reforms
• Performance tracking of key indicators especially chronic and preventive care
• Managers held accountable
• Able to allocate resources across integrated system
• Big investment

Lessons from Integrated VA Model• Health information technology is important
and easier for integrated systems, but it’s not enough
• Performance measurement, QI, and accountability are also critical
• Integration of service delivery and financing allows for strategic resource allocation
• Organizational determinants of quality are just as important as individual determinants
![Page 17: Steven Asch Fostering Transformational Change In An Integrated System](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081516/54d1b1704a7959fc3b8b4639/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
HIV/Hepatitis QUERI
• VA as a QI laboratory• Teams HSR researchers and national QI
managers• Translation project to improve HIV testing
rates merged several streams of organizational change: – Systemic redesign– Clinical reminders– Provider activation
![Page 18: Steven Asch Fostering Transformational Change In An Integrated System](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081516/54d1b1704a7959fc3b8b4639/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
We Had to Make a Case to VA Managers
• HIV easier/cheaper to treat if HIV easier/cheaper to treat if detected early (~<$25,000/QALY)detected early (~<$25,000/QALY)
• VA has high prevalence of HIV VA has high prevalence of HIV (~2%)(~2%)
• VA performance falls short (~20%)VA performance falls short (~20%)
• Therefore we should improve Therefore we should improve screening and testing ratesscreening and testing rates

They Asked Us a Question
““You’ve given us a strong rationale for You’ve given us a strong rationale for long-term benefits of earlier long-term benefits of earlier identification, but what is the short identification, but what is the short term impact of increasing screening term impact of increasing screening and an acute influx of HIV patients on and an acute influx of HIV patients on the system?”the system?”
or
“Where is it coming out of my budget when?”

• Data-driven models for making Data-driven models for making managerial or technical managerial or technical decisions decisions
• Valuable tool for program Valuable tool for program managers although underused managers although underused in public sectorin public sector

Barriers to HIV Testing
• Organizational
• Cumbersome written informed consent & pre-
test counseling
• Provider time constraints, especially post-test
• Provider behaviors
• Incomplete recognition of HIV risk factors
• Belief that only trained counselors can do
HIV counseling
![Page 24: Steven Asch Fostering Transformational Change In An Integrated System](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081516/54d1b1704a7959fc3b8b4639/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
System Redesign
• Streamlined counseling
• Telephonic notification of negative tests
• Removed restrictions on who could
order tests
• Audit-feedback: clinic level progress

Provider Activation
• Leverage group dynamics
• Academic detailing
• Social marketing
• Opinion leaders

Implementation and Evaluation Plan
• Prospective, controlled quasi-experimental
implementation in southern CA and NV
• Primary endpoints
– Rate of evaluation for HIV
– Rate of HIV testing in at-risk patients

Conclusion
• Integrated systems have many of the elements for transformational change.
• Integrated systems can serve as a laboratory for more focused QI programs
• How these elements can be transferred to more distributed systemd remains an area for future research.
