12 Improving Healthcare Through Collaborative Partnerships 12

13 What are Collaborative Quality Initiatives? Structure of Collaborative Quality Initiatives (CQIs): developed and administered by Michigan physician and hospital partners, funded by BCBSM and its HMO, Blue Care Network Structure of Collaborative Quality Initiatives (CQIs): developed and administered by Michigan physician and hospital partners, funded by BCBSM and its HMO, Blue Care Network Support continuous quality improvement and the development of best practices Support continuous quality improvement and the development of best practices Leverage inter-institutional data registries Leverage inter-institutional data registries Why? Reduce avoidable adverse events, provide incentives and track performance Why? Reduce avoidable adverse events, provide incentives and track performance 13

14 Why Do We Need CQIs? Quality of health care remains suboptimal, with wide variations in performance across institutions and avoidable adverse events Quality of health care remains suboptimal, with wide variations in performance across institutions and avoidable adverse events Suboptimal quality affects patients’ health; drives up costs Suboptimal quality affects patients’ health; drives up costs Regional collaborations can provide incentives and infrastructure to systematically track and improve performance Regional collaborations can provide incentives and infrastructure to systematically track and improve performance 14

15 Overall Goals of the CQI Program Examine the link between care processes and outcomes in complex, highly technical areas of care Examine the link between care processes and outcomes in complex, highly technical areas of care Measure the quality of care within and across systems Measure the quality of care within and across systems Create a feedback loop for continuous quality improvement with participating institutions Create a feedback loop for continuous quality improvement with participating institutions Identify “clinical champions” at each participating hospital Identify “clinical champions” at each participating hospital Implement fast-track quality improvement initiatives targeted at specific, high-leverage procedures Implement fast-track quality improvement initiatives targeted at specific, high-leverage procedures Continue to demonstrate to consumers and purchasers of care that CQIs positively impact systems of care Continue to demonstrate to consumers and purchasers of care that CQIs positively impact systems of care 15

16 The Beginning Collaborative study on the variation in angioplasty procedures and treatment (1997) Collaborative study on the variation in angioplasty procedures and treatment (1997) Resulted in decreases in mortality, kidney failure, emergency bypass surgeries and other complications Resulted in decreases in mortality, kidney failure, emergency bypass surgeries and other complications Fostered development of a culture in which stakeholders pool efforts and best thinking to optimize practices, systems and outcomes of care Fostered development of a culture in which stakeholders pool efforts and best thinking to optimize practices, systems and outcomes of care Collaboration was necessary for real change Collaboration was necessary for real change 16

25 CQI Model: Why It Works Empowering the provider community to use comparative effectiveness research in a collaborative context Empowering the provider community to use comparative effectiveness research in a collaborative context Measurement to inform is more powerful than measurement to judge; BCBSM does not see individual hospital data Measurement to inform is more powerful than measurement to judge; BCBSM does not see individual hospital data Intrinsic motivation of professionals is harnessed when the work is owned and conducted by them Intrinsic motivation of professionals is harnessed when the work is owned and conducted by them Incentives focused on: Incentives focused on: – Participation to help pay for the cost of data collection; and – Performance, to reward active and results-oriented participation catalyzes engagement and improved results. Focus on long-term transformation of care processes improves systems of care Focus on long-term transformation of care processes improves systems of care 25

26 Key Takeaways CQIs support continuous quality improvement and development of best practices for areas of care that are highly technical, rapidly-evolving, and associated with scientific uncertainty. CQIs support continuous quality improvement and development of best practices for areas of care that are highly technical, rapidly-evolving, and associated with scientific uncertainty. Collaborating across institutions accelerates improvement; more can be learned from variation in care processes and outcomes across groups than within groups.
