• Accountable Care Organizations (ACO)• Definition, key components• ACO: Definition of success• ACO HIE requirements – use cases• HIE Current and Emerging views• ACOs require more than EHRs• Challenges to widespread ACO adoption• ACO = HIE + Analytics – Architecture• What are the typical use cases?• Summary
Accountable Care Organization-a definition
• A healthcare delivery system whose members share responsibility, financial risk and a common goal to improve healthcare delivery and the overall health status for a given population.
• Acts collaboratively to coordinate patient care across the continuum and share both the payment and responsibility for quality of care for the covered patients.
• Paid a specified amount for the population it manages, rather than a per transaction fee. ACOs can be incented if their quality and patient satisfaction scores are higher than expected; they can also receive decreased reimbursement if scores are lower than expected.
* HIMSS ACO FAQ, www.himss.org
Key components of an ACO
• Patient centered medical homes‐• Primary care physicians• Specialists• Minimum of one hospital• Ancillary providers• Minimum of 5,000 Medicare beneficiaries (for Medicare
demonstration funding)• Care coordination ability and mechanisms to support• Payer partnerships with reimbursement based on quality,
efficiencies and patient satisfaction
*Source: Article by Stephen M. Shortell and Lawrence P. Casalino
Emerging ACO Models Governance‐
Model Characteristics Current ExamplesIntegrated delivery systems/networks(IDN)
• Own hospitals, physician practices, perhaps an insurance plan.
• Aligned financial incentives.• E-health records, team-based care.
• Geisinger Health System• Group Health Cooperative of Puget Sound• Kaiser Permanente• Summa Health System
Multispecialtygroup practices(MSGP)
• Usually own or have strong affiliation with a hospital.
• Contracts with multiple health plans. • History of physician leadership. • Mechanisms for coordinated clinical care.
• Cleveland Clinic• Marshfield Clinic• Billings Clinic• Virginia Mason Clinic
Physician-hospitalorganizations(PHO)
• Nonemployee medical staff.• Function like multispecialty group practices.• Reorganize care delivery for cost-
effectiveness.
• Greater Newport Physicians (partners with Hoag)• St. Vincent Healthcare in Billings• Methodist LeBonheur Healthcare• Kettering Health Network
Independent Practice Associations
• Independent physician practices that jointly contract with health plans
• Active in practice redesign, quality improvement.
• Atrius Health (eastern Massachusetts)• Hill Physicians Group (southern California)• Monarch HealthCare (southern California)
Virtual Physician Organizations
• Small, independent physician practices, often in rural areas.
• Led by individual physicians, local medical foundation, or state Medicaid agency.
• Structure that provides leadership, infrastructure, resources
• Community Care of North Carolina• Grand Junction (Colorado)• North Dakota Cooperative Network

Population Health Metrics:
• QUEST outcomes• Select HEDIS metrics• Health status – SF12• Mortality rates
Metrics:• Total medical PMPM• Total Medical Trend• Total Rx PMPM• Admissions/1000• Readmission rate
Metrics:• Patient satisfaction• PAM Scores (Patient Activation

Improving triple aim™ population outcomes
* The term triple aim is a trademark of the Institute for Healthcare Improvement
Healthcare Business Intelligence will be the key to success in managing to these
metrics
Health Information Exchange (HIE)
• Extension of EMRs• Integration or
Interoperability role
• Primarily data push or pull
• Struggles with financial viability
• Shifting from state-level efforts to private HIEs
• Key element in the integration and coordination of care

ACOs require far more than EHRs
Requirements– Predictive modeling– Registries– EHR interfaces– Reminder systems– Claims and clinical data
warehouses– Episode of care analysis systems– Specifications for integrated
claims and clinical databases– Patient portal options– Health information exchanges
Data Sources for Mining– Medical records– Clinical outcomes data– Patient billing systems– Payer data– Quality measures abstracts– Charge master– Physician, payer, service line
utilization data– Infection surveillance data– Labor, productivity and
throughput records– Adverse drug events
Challenges to widespread ACO adoption
• Silos lead to a disconnected business and IT infrastructure• Islands of computing create inefficiencies and underutilized
assets• Missing or competing data standards, limited interoperability• Struggle with regulatory compliance, volume of information,
data integrity and security• Resource constraints and difficulty managing
complexity/change• Volume of data points and quality measures, in widely
dispersed locations• Limited use of analytics among providers
Moving beyond Operational Analytics

HIE + Analytics: What are typical use cases?
Use Cases Use Cases
Determine and model total cost of care across all settings (acute, ambulatory, home care) by population or individual
ID risk to patients by looking at environmental factors e.g. asthma, flu breakout
Care coordination New age case management (CRM for patients)
Match payer and provider data-verify rollout of preventative programs
ID labor savings. Correlate staffing to predicted demand/activity
Meds Mgmt./Reconciliation/Med Therapy Mgt./Prescription fill compliance
Physician attribution and/or care team – quality outcomes – patient satisfaction
Analyze population health levels based on various grouping (geo, facility, provider, etc.)
Monitor and track (real time) compliance to regulatory and/or clinical guidelines across settings
Understand resource utilizing productivity, throughput and access
Chronic care cost modeling to support payments and allocation
Evaluate readmission across continuum Support transitions of care through transfer of data
Resource planning/physician profitability (contract management, preferences, outcomes
Aggregate and manage data across all care settings (cost, care)
Support 65 ACO measures Comparative Effectiveness / waste reduction
Monitor/track patients experience beyond HCAPS (coordinate w/workforce, predict experience)
Creation of new evidence base for guidelines

Why build this level of technical architecture?
• Move from retrospective reporting to predictive modeling of population health
• Create the data analytics necessary to move to evidence-based medicine and modeling of outcomes
• Predictive modeling provides an objective assessment of a patient’s future illness burden and associated health costs based upon their historical conditions as captured through claims and clinical information – key to ACO success!
– It is a method for prioritizing members for population health management and care management and stratifying them based upon their morbidity burden and financial risk

To enable a smarter healthcare system that offers better care,
better value and better health.
To get the big picture and truly use healthcare IT to improve care in real time, our systems must enable care teams to:
– Access a patient’s medical history from a secure, yet accessible cloud.
– View anything and everything that could have an impact on a patient’s care, including past procedures and past medications.
– Review evidence-based examples of how to customize and tailor treatments to produce the best possible outcomes for individual patients.
– Evaluate whether treatments are effective over the long term and compare results with other providers.
– Balance the privacy interests of each patient and the societal benefits of greater access to powerful, aggregated intelligence.
Poll Question
