Delivery Model of the Past The Fee For Service free for all All providers win with every admission or case Who gets paid for utilization? Acute Stay: 1) Doctor, 2) Hospital Post Acute Stay: 1) Doctor (again), 2) SNF/LTACH/IRF Home Health: 1) Doctor (again x 2), 2) HH Agency Follow- up Doctors Office Visit: 1) Doctor (again x 3)

What Does this all mean to us as providers? We must coordinate care The Affordable Care Act is not a request, but a mandate with significant penalties if we do not. What does this mean for the acute hospital sector?

Are you Ready for the truth? The goal is to find a better way for individuals to age and heal at home. The truth is that my job is not to teach you how to prevent re-admissions, its to teach you to prevent….Admissions. Welcome to the world of… ADMISSION PREVENTION

What does this mean for you? Hospitals = Last resort SNF = Second to last resort; increase capability to handle med surg level patients Home health = Networks will be narrowed Patients will be directed to lower levels of care and care paid privately (ALF, home care, remote monitoring)

Winning! So who is winning? Who can position for success? Home Care Private duty nursing Assisted living Who can position for success? Health systems designed so that hospital is truly the last resort SNF’s who are willing to push for shorter LOS

Transitional Care, Wellness & Revenue Streams Everyone is being incentivized to avoid the hospital Direct to SNF transfers from the ED Remote monitoring at home and in SNF Home visits Expansion of Home Health to Ambulatory case managers Home Dr. Office SNF Hospital Hospital Home Health

Six Reasons to Coordinate Care ACO’s (MSSP incentive) Bundled Payment Initiatives Value based Initiatives Readmission Penalties RAC Audits MSPB Four of the six above have not been relevant enough to get hospitals to react

MSPB: The New Readmission Penalty Medicare Spending Per Beneficiary Effective October 1, 2014 An MSPB episode includes all Medicare Part A and Part B claims paid during the period from 3 days prior to a hospital admission through 30 days after discharge.

IMPACT Here Comes Reason #7 to Coordinate Care Improving Medicare Post-Acute Transformation Act of 2014 IMPACT Act of 2014 takes a crucial step toward the modernization of Medicare payments to post-acute care (PAC) providers Who wins? Maybe no one: It appears to be more documentation to prove medical necessity

MSPB: The New Readmission Penalty Each hospital’s average episode spending levels are separated into three time periods: 1) During the 3 days prior to the index admission 2) During the index admission 3) During the 30 days after hospital discharge. Within these three time periods, the average episode spending levels are further broken down into seven provider types (e.g., inpatient, outpatient).

MSPB: Hospital Sample Medicare.gov, Hospital Compare 3 days Prior SNF $ Spent Hospital A: $13 .05% State $3 .02% National $2 .01% 30 days after discharge SNF $ Spent Hospital A: $3,942 14.84% State $3,309 16.85% National $2,924 15.63%

MSPB: Hospital Sample Medicare.gov, Hospital Compare During Index Hospital Stay IP $ Spent Hospital A: $7,889 29.7% State $8,910 45.36% National $8,534 45.63% Complete Episode (MSPB) Total Spending Hospital A: $26,560 100% State $19,642 100% National $18,704 100%

MSPB: Hospital Sample Medicare.gov, Hospital Compare 1-30 days After Inpatient Spending Hospital A: $8,967 33.0% State $2,476 12.6% National $2,532 13.54% Inpatient includes LTACH, IRF and Readmissions. Readmission rate is only .04% - so there is LTACH and IRF utilization.

MSPB: The Feds Finally Got it Right! What Does this all mean to us as providers? We must coordinate care The Affordable Care Act is not a request, but a mandate with significant penalties if we do not. What does this mean for the acute hospital sector?

Connectivity and Care Planning Hospitals must be connected to their post acute providers and innovate Risk stratification software & post acute connectivity Remote monitoring units Formalize relationships for Care Planning support to reduce workload and provide ambulatory case management services Care Patrol Community Integration Model: Designed Specifically to Assist Hospitals with MSPB Care Centrix HomeStar: Home Health management

The transformation of the acute hospital: the C-suite must take action Coordinating Care for Improved Outcomes Hospitals must act like health systems Health systems must act like managed care organization Thus, the hospital must act like a managed care organization as well Hospital Health System Managed care

SNF Providers: Are You Ready for the New Normal? What if, on December 31, 2014 you received a notification from CMS advising you that…

Duals: Something Has Got to Give Bad News Pre-authorizations Shorter LOS Reduced reimbursement Good News Narrow networks for those committed to quality Its inevitable that the three midnight requirement go away if managed care can approve a direct from home to SNF admissions

Post Acute Expectations POLST SBAR Stop and Watch Return to Acute Log (Emergency Dept) Return to ED Root Cause Analysis DNA testing for improved Medication Management Predictive software/electronic quality data * * Only tactic requiring investment; small price to pay to be preferred provider
