Trustee PresentationJanuary, 2014
Session GoalTo provide an orientation to hospital trustees about the shift from volume to value in U.S. health care and the role of value-based purchasing, leading to understanding of the role of a hospital board trustees in a value-driven environment.
The Stratis Health Perspective• Independent, nonprofit Minnesota organization
founded in 1971– Mission: Lead collaboration and innovation in health care
quality and safety, and serve as a trusted expert in facilitating improvement for people and communities
• Working at the intersection of research, policy, and practice– Federally designated roles as the Medicare QIO and HIT
Regional Extension Center– Develop and lead quality improvement projects
and campaigns across care continuum– Inform federal and state policy
The Healthcare Reform Environment
A National Health Care Quality Strategy• The federal health reform legislation passed
in 2010 called for the first ever National Quality Strategy (NQS) in health care.
• NQS is built on the “Triple Aim”:– Better Care– Better Health – Lower Cost
Federal Push to Value-Based Purchasing (VBP)• Transforming Medicare from a passive payer
to an active purchaser of high-quality, efficient health care– Improve quality of care and health of beneficiaries– Reduce adverse events, improve safety– Encourage coordination of patient care– Avoid unnecessary costs– Stimulate investments in structural systems– Make performance results transparent
and meaningful
Medicare Hospital Value-Based Purchasing Program• Federal health reform law established a
hospital value-based purchasing program under which value-based incentive payments are made each year to hospitals that meet the performance standards for that year
• Program began in FY 2013, now in third year
