What was the Old Way To Coordinate Care?
Through the Rear View Mirror
Leveraging Outdated Claims Data
No Formalized Plan of Care in Any Setting
Minimal Coordination Communication Among Providers and Specialists
Minimal Patient Input Into Treatment Options and Care Delivery
Lack of Formal Initiatives for Patient Satisfaction Outside the Hospital

What is the Problem to Creating System Performance for ACOs?
Problem: Lack of Infrastructure Between Participants to Assure Bonus
Payments
Coordinate Care Between Sites of Care
Manage Multi-Site Performance to Lower Cost
Manage Multi-Site Performance to Improve Quality
FLAACOs Business Partners
What Makes a Great TEAM?
Working Towards a Common Goal
Improved Care Outcomes and Reduced Costs of Care
Bonus for Achieving Program Goals
TEAM-Work
A TEAM of Care Across All Care Settings
Clinical Integration among Providers
Every TEAM Member Does Their Part
Specific Actions Needed to Achieve the Goal
Actionable does not equal ACTIVE
FLAACOs Business Partners
Lessons Learned
If you have seen one ACO, you have seen one ACO
Importance of an infrastructure inclusive of all transitions
Achieving buy-in from multiple stakeholders will take time
Analytics and reporting do not change provider behavior
Establish a Foundation for performance
FLAACOs Business Partners
ACO Care Coordination Philosophy
Tighten Integration Across the Entire Continuum of Care
Integrated TEAM of Care
Not Replacing the Care TEAM: Coordinating Their Efforts
Create a Unified View of the Patient and Their Care
Unified Coordination Plan
Synchronize Orders and Actions
NOT replacing the EMR (clinical system of record)
Manage the Actions that Improve Outcomes and Reduce Costs
Task and Action Tracking
Prioritize Actions and Resources
Close the Gaps Before They Occur
FLAACOs Business Partners
Learning Objectives
Why do you need a platform to manage and coordinate the care activities
inside and outside of your organization, across the entire continuum of
care?
Lack of IT infrastructure between providers
Care Coordinators typically use combination of multiple technology systems and
manual processes to coordinate care
Many physicians are in the process of changing EMRs
Not all EMRs can generate an automated CCD
Most EMRs do not have all the fields for ACO Quality Metrics
EMR tasks are not Care Coordination workflow
Paper will persist
Typically need to integrate to internal or external Health Information Exchange
(HIE)
FLAACOs Business Partners
Set Foundational Requirements that Create Momentum to Performance
Agreement on Goals
Patient Centered Medical Home Certification (PCMH)
Agreement on Practice Standards
Engage Entire Continuum of Care
Require Meaningful Use Certified EMRs
Commitment to Active Care Coordination
Establish Care Coordination Technology Infrastructure
FLAACOs Business Partners

Foundation: Patient Centered Medical Home
PCMH demonstrates PCP commitment to Triple Aim Goals
Focus attention on aspects of primary care the improve quality and reduce costs
TEAM-Based approaches to care
PCMH practices have already begun the culture change

Standards 1-3
FLAACOs Business Partners
Foundation: Agreement on Practice Standards
Create Clinical Work Groups to Set Coordination Pathways
NQF Metrics, primarily Outcomes
Establish a Common Coordination Plan across the ACO
Initially Focus on Specific Conditions Used to Quality Metrics
Diabetes
COPD
CHF
CAD/Hypertension/Ischemic Vascular Disease
Depression
Preventative Health

Foundation: Require Meaningful Use Certified EMRs
Real-Time EMR Data is Critical to Active Care Coordination and ACO
Performance
Qualifying for MU Incentive is a MSSP Quality Metric
Core Objectives for Meaningful Use align with the ACO Quality Metrics
Report ambulatory clinical quality measures to CMS
Generate list of patients by specific conditions
Provider of care should provide summary care record for each transition of care
or referralSource:

FLAACOs Business Partners
Foundation: Commitment to Active Care Coordination
Patient Navigators: Care Coordinators Embedded in Care Settings across the
Care Continuum (e.g. Hospital, Physician Office, Nursing Home, etc)
Care Coordination has to be in the clinical workflow
Share care plan, care coordination tasks, and secure messages in a
standardized format
Proactive preventative, acute, chronic, and end of life care
Establish a Common Language: Care Coordination Lifecycle Status
Claims Data is Two Months Old: Too Re-Active for Care Coordination
FLAACOs Business Partners
Foundation: Commitment to Active Care Coordination
Chronic Disease Management (CDM) Interventions
Identify and Take Action on Gaps Before They Occur
Create Care Plans Around Individual Goals
Create Shared and Unified Coordination Plan
Prioritize Actions using Satisfaction, Risk, and Cost Scores
FLAACOs Business Partners
Foundation: Commitment to Active Care Coordination
Transition of Care Interventions
Get Patients and Families involved in their own healthcare management
Unified Care Plan with Coordination Activities
Systematic Follow Up Tasks and Alerts
For example, Contact w/in 48 hours/PCP visit w/in 7 days

Emergency Interventions
Notifications at time of Emergency Room Registration
Opportunities Abound
Initiating Quality Care
Diverting of Care
Cost Containment
ACO Contacts Emergency Room to
Provide context and historical information
Participation in the decision making
Engage patient and patients family/caregivers
