November 2018 Executive Director Report

Date: November 1, 2018

To: HealthierHere Governing Board

From: Susan McLaughlin

1. HCA Learning Symposium a Big Success!

HealthierHere staff, board and committee members participated in the Health Care Authority’s first MTP Learning Symposium on October 24 in SeaTac. Topics included panel presentations on the opioid use crisis, the Indian health care delivery system, and value-based payment. Invited national presenters on health equity topics included Professor john a. powell from the Haas Institute for a Fair and Inclusive Society and Sinsi Hernández-Cancio, Health Equity Director from Families USA. Joe Conte, Executive Director from the Staten Island Performing Provider System also spoke on lessons learned from New York state’s DSRIP. We will have a follow up meeting with Joe Conte during our New York DSRIP intensive learning trip next week. HealthierHere participated in a poster session in the evening, showcasing some of our work to date. HealthierHere staff also participated in statewide ACH staff planning and coordination meetings hosted by HCA on October 23. Program Directors, Finance Staff, Data Staff and Community Engagement staff met with their collective colleagues from other ACHs to share learnings and coordinate implementation efforts.

2. Implementation Plan Update

We heard from the Independent Assessor that there are no “write back” questions for HealthierHere’s Implementation Plan. There is no incentive funding associated with the submission of the Implementation Plan right now. It will be evaluated and assessed a valuation as part of our second Semi-Annual Report for 2018, due to the HCA by January 30, 2019.

3. Hiring

Community and Tribal Engagement Manager: HealthierHere is looking for a second Community and Tribal Engagement Manager with Tribal Partnership expertise. The position was posted last week and can be found here: https://www.idealist.org/en/nonprofit-job/7ea76cd125bb473c8c8d88c630d68d92-community-and-tribal-engagement-manager-tribal-health-focus-king-county-accountable-community-of-health-seattle

Please share with any talented candidates you are aware of. The deadline for applications is November 9, 2018.

4. Community Partner Information Sessions Continue

HealthierHere continues to host community partner information sessions. We have held 6 in-person sessions throughout King County plus one webinar session. See attached summary for more detailed information to date. Three more in-person information sessions are scheduled in November. Please see attached flyer, which we will also send electronically. If you know any community partners that should know about HealthierHere and would make great partners for our transformation efforts, please pass the flyer along so that they can attend.

5. Training, Technical Assistance and Learning Collaboratives

HealthierHere sponsored its first Partner Learning Webinar on Oct. 25th. The lunch-time session – Using PreManage: Best Practices and Lessons Learned, was led by Practice Partner, Community Psychiatric Clinic, and included representation from Collective Medical Technologies (CMT), the software company that developed both the Emergency Department Information Exchange (EDIE) and PreManage. Approximately 67 individuals participated, representing 48 Innovation Partners, all at varying stages in implementing and using PreManage.

PreManage is a care coordination platform affiliated with EDIE and it is already in place for some of our partners, and of great interest to many others as it has potential to address critical communication barriers that exist within the healthcare delivery system. The topic complements projects under way by the King County Integrated Care Network (KCICN), which plans to help its member behavioral health agencies implement PreManage over the coming year.

Partner Learning Webinars are an integral part of HealthierHere’s workforce development, training and technical assistance strategies and will complement the Learning Collaboratives, which will launch on November 14th for our current Practice Partners. The Learning Collaboratives will provide opportunities for Practice Partners to collectively address system transformation, share best practices, and participate in the development of a regional QI Plan.

6. ReThink Health Coming to a close King County ACH and then HealthierHere has been participating with a team of King County leaders on an initiative funded by Robert Wood Johnson called ReThink Health Ventures. ReThink Health Ventures sought to explore how multi-sector partnerships can accelerate change and transform health. King County was one of six sites from around the country that worked together to test a framework for transforming health that includes broad-based stewardship; sound strategy; and sustainable financing. King County focused on the development of a strategy to promote civic muscle, called You Belong Here. Additionally, HealthierHere participated in testing specific tools related to sustainable financing.

A final meeting of all six sites was held in Boston last week where we finalized results from the three year grant. ReThink Health will produce a final tool kit for other sites that includes key lessons learned and core elements necessary for successful multi-sector collaboratives. The final product will be released sometime early next year. For more information on ReThink Health Ventures go to: https://www.rethinkhealth.org/our-work/transforming-regions/rethink-health-ventures/.

HealthierHere is excited to be continuing our relationship with ReThink Health through another Robert Wood Johnson project called Vistas. Through Vistas, ReThink Health will support us in implementing a framework to design our Equity and Wellness Fund (see below).

7. Equity and Wellness Fund Planning to Begin In 2017, the HealthierHere Governing Board approved the distribution of 6% of earned incentive funding, or approximately $8.4 million dollars over five years, to seed an Equity and Wellness Fund that would be dedicated to addressing social determinants and promoting health and well-being. Beginning in late 2019, HealthierHere will begin to distribute earned incentives to this fund.

With the assistance of ReThink Health and under the leadership of the HealthierHere Finance Committee, we will begin work to define elements of the Equity and Wellness Fund including how the fund will be used, how it will be governed, and what potential sources of revenue to build the fund are available. Options and recommendations will be reviewed and approved by the Governing Board. We are in the very early stages of thinking about the process to define the fund beginning with several key informant interviews that will occur over the next two months. We will spend more time on this process for the design of the Equity and Wellness Fund at a future board meeting.

8. Conflict of Interest Policy Getting Signed HealthierHere staff are working with all of our committees to ensure committee members sign our updated Conflict of Interest policy. In addition to all members of the Governing Board, HealthierHere Management Team have signed the policy along with members of the Finance Committee, the Transformation Committee, the Data and Evaluation Committee, the Community and Consumer Voice Steering Committee and the Incentive Funds Flow Work Group. Our goal is to have the policy signed by all members no later than November 30, 2018. We are well on our way to meet that goal. We will continue to practice and utilize our COI at all committee and board meetings.

9. Funding Distribution Continues We continue to distribute funds to our practice partners. HealthierHere distributed $2.2 Million on October 19th to 25 Medicaid providers who completed change plans. Additionally we distributed $2.2 Million to Behavioral Health Agencies to assist with the transition to fully integrated managed care. The remaining $1.9 Million will be distributed on November 2nd. Finally, HealthierHere is working in partnership with King County ICN and representatives from the behavioral health network to develop a training and technical assistance plan for fully integrated managed care. The plan will be shared with the board once complete.

Medicaid Transformation Project (MTP) Financing Mechanism

October 30, 2018

2

Overview of MTP Financing Mechanism

• CMS approval on January 9, 2017. Approval of $1.5B (state/federal for all three initiatives) over five years for performance based incentive payments to providers partnering with ACHs

• Funding for the MTP relies on Designated State Health Programs (DSHPs) and Intergovernmental Transfers (IGTs)

• DSHPs ramps down while IGTs ramp up over the five years (see slide #3)

• IGT = transfer of public funds between governmental entities such as counties or public hospitals to the state’s Medicaid agency. Entities transfer $1 of non-federal share to draw down $1 federal = $2 available to spend

Intergovernmental (IGT) Financing Issue

Issue: CMS clarified that when an IGT contribution is paid through Delivery System Reform Incentive Program (DSRIP) then both the federal & non-federal share is counted against the DSRIP budget cap vs. only the federal share as previously discussed

Effectively, this reduces the overall DSRIP dollar available because the IGT portion must now include both the contribution and the federal match towards the same DSRIP cap

Problem: This interpretation reduced about $300M from the project incentives

HCA Solution: Use IGT contributors from public hospitals as the state match to draw the federal match. This solves a part of the total $300M. HCA is working on another solution that will address the remaining amount

5

Overview of IGT Process

• HCA contracts with UW, Valley Medical, Evergreen Healthcare = IGT Contributors

• Shared Domain 1 Investments will be available to support statewide Domain 1 activities for ACHs

• ACHs contract with IGT Contributors for shared statewide Domain 1 activities (TBD). Per CMS these entities must earn the dollars by providing activities/support to ACHs

• Less dollars will be available to ACHs if not all participate• HCA will monitor the performance and provides payment

schedule to ACHs to enter into Financial Executor (FE)

How IGT Supports Washington’s DSRIP Waiver

Source: 42 CFR 433.51 - Public Funds as the State share of financial participation.

Illustrative IGT Process

IGT contributors provide $10M to HCA.

ACHs draw down $20M from DSRIP pool.

HCA receives $10M in federal matching funds for IGT contributions for a total of $20M.

Accountable Communities of Health

ACHs allocate $7.5M for regional transformation projects and $12.5M to the shared investment pool from which IGT contributors can earn incentives for Domain 1 support.

HCA allocates $20M to DSRIP pool.

IGT Requirements

IGT contributors must be a “public agency,” which could be a public hospital, public entity or a county/city.

IGT contributors must use non-federal funds (e.g., commercial revenue).

IGT contributors are not guaranteed to receive its IGTs back.

DSRIP payments are “non-patient service revenue” and do not count toward DSH or upper payment limit caps.

Transformation Projects

IGT Contributors(e.g., public

hospital)

Note: Rounded funding amounts are provided as examples.

Expected DY 1 funding amounts communicated to ACHs already take into account remaining dollars after payments to IGT contributors.

Next Steps

• GB approved the first IGT transaction on February 1, 2018.• October 16th – HCA sent the Partnering Provider Achievement

Report to ACHs.• November 7th – Deadline for ACH Boards to approve payment to

IGT contributors.• December 14th – ACH approves payment schedule in FE• Risk to ACH: less money available if not all ACH participates with all

IGT contributors
