IBM Healthcare and Life Sciences Healthcare Environment – More Spending Does Not Guarantee Better Health as Measured by Longevity • World spends about $4. 5 Trillion, U. S. spends about $2 Trillion • US ranked 37 th by WHO in Healthcare effectiveness (btw Costa Rica and Slovenia) • In the U. S 42% of spend is Centers for Medicare and Medicade Services, much of the rest is large employers • Large Corporations spend significant amounts on healthcare through self insurance • 47 million Americans have no health insurance • Approximately 100 K deaths in US every year from preventable medical Source: error.

IBM Healthcare and Life Sciences Why is the healthcare system broken? “ We don't have a health care delivery system in this country. We have an expensive plethora of uncoordinated, unlinked, economically segregated, operationally limited micro systems, each performing in ways that too often create suboptimal performance both for the overall health care infrastructure and for individual patients. " George Halvorson We believe…. q Collaboration across the full care team is missing q Taking a longitudinal view of the whole person’s health from wellness and prevention to at risk to chronic care to end of life is missing q Technology is insufficient and not helping the care team do their jobs, thus not being adopted q Accountability and incentives are not in place to encourage delivery of quality cost effective care q Care is not centered on patient needs 7 IBM Research | © 2008 IBM Corporation

IBM Healthcare and Life Sciences The political pressure for healthcare reform has never been greater • “…the cost of our health care has weighed down our economy and the President Obama health care conscience of our nation long enough. So let -there be. Barack no doubt: reform cannot wait, it must not wait, and it will not wait another year. ” Coverage for All Payment Reform Health Information Technology Tools to Rebuild.

IBM Healthcare and Life Sciences Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) is an approach to deliver comprehensive care, coordinated by a physician-led care team (not your house with a lot of technology) Personal Relationship with a Physician and Care Team + Proactive Focus on Health, Care Intervention and Chronic Disease Management • Brief history of the evolution of the PCMH: - 1967: American Academy of Pediatrics defined medical home concepts related to children with special needs - 2000 -present: AAFP and ACP developed and extended the concept to include care for all patients with chronic illness and patient centeredness - 2006 -07: AAFP, AAP, ACP and AOA develop a common definition of “patient-centered medical home” and link PCMH to reform of payment for physicians + Technology, Services & Applications to Support the New Collaborative Care Model Principles of PCMH • Patient Centric/Personal Physician • Physician directed medical “team” • Whole person orientation • Care is coordinated and/or integrated • Emphasis on quality and safety • Enhanced access • Appropriate reimbursement “The Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) provides care that is “accessible, continuous, comprehensive and coordinated and delivered in the context of family and community. ” 1 Source: 1) www. medicalhomeinfo. org/join%20 statementpdf 10 IBM Research | © 2008 IBM Corporation
IBM Healthcare and Life Sciences Medical Home in the Current National Debate on HC Reform • Current House Legislation • Medical Home Pilot Program -- An expansion of the medical home demo in Medicare. Establishes a medical home pilot program to asses the feasibility of reimbursing for qualified patient-centered medical homes. There are two models in the program: 1) the independent patient-centered medical home structured around a provider, targeted at the top half of high need Medicare beneficiaries with multiple chronic diseases, or 2) the community based medical home, targeted at a broader population of Medicare beneficiaries with chronic diseases and allows state-based or nonprofits to provide care management. Provides approximately $1. 6 billion from the Trust Fund for the 5 year pilot programs • Medicaid medical home pilot program -- A 5 year medical home pilot program for high-need Medicaid beneficiaries. The federal government would match costs of community care workers at 90% for the first 2 years and 75% for the next 3, up to a total of $1. 235 billion. 11 IBM Research | © 2008 IBM Corporation

IBM Healthcare and Life Sciences Working Definitions for Today’s Discussion • Electronic Medical Record – EMR. An electronic collection of patient documents specific to one physician, clinic, hospital. (Also Electronic Patient Record – EPR) - Institution or physician centric - Episodic - Many versions and types exist • Electronic Health Record – EHR. An electronic collection of all healthcare documents for an individual - Patient Centric - Longitudinal - ‘Gold Standard’ – physician and institution maintained - Very few exist in reality • Personal Health Record – PHR. An electronic collection of all healthcare documents that an individual chooses to maintain - Patient Centric - Longitudinal - Patient Controlled and Editable - Emerging area for healthcare in some countries 13 IBM Research | © 2008 IBM Corporation
