LAN Summit: Population-Based Payment Approaches October 26, 2015 Intermountain Healthcare: Aligning Provider Financial Incentives
Managing the trend line Dollars in Millions Lower Revenue Rate Increases $6, 000 Managing Expense Growth $300 $400 $5, 500 $5, 000 $4, 500 $280 million from Utilization $120 million from Efficiency $4, 000 $3, 500 $3, 000 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016
Aligning Financial Incentives Using Evidence-based Care Engaging Patients
Physician Payment Model Beta Test Patient Service Area : NSL/ Bountiful Participating Practices • 11 IMG clinics – 315 clinicians • 4 affiliated partner clinics - 68 clinicians Participating Patients • 7, 500 Intermountain Employees • FY’ 14 -15 Budget $28 million • Zip code allocated locked cohort Measurement & Reporting • Compensation Metrics 2 Service, 31 Quality, TCOC Budget • Reports including Utilization Variation & Care Gaps *January 2014 projection
Guiding Principles: Quality Measure Selection 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Simple Feasible and cost-effective Representative of clinical quality Outcomes-oriented Measures and targets will change over time Fully matured measures will be sunset Engagement from physician groups When feasible, should align with national measures Targets are thresholds, not percentiles Must be able to report measures © Intermountain Healthcare, 2013
Financial Incentives Guiding Principles 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Relatively simple to understand Relatively simple to manage (bias toward simplicity) Encourages decisions that add Value (Access, Quality, Cost) Discourages decisions that do not add Value Rewards are based on achieving thresholds rather than percentiles Transparency of calculation of shared savings Bias towards consistency across payers, markets, providers, etc. Incentives aligned for patients, hospitals, physicians, members, & purchasers 9. Promotes teamwork: “We’re all in this together” 10. Robust, dynamic, scalable © Intermountain Healthcare, 2013
Shared Accountability Regional Financial Model Payer Geographic Committee “Population Budget” Intermountain • Provides Care Process Models • Distributes budgets Healthcare • Provides Population Health Mgt. Services Intermountain Hospitals Intermountain employed Physicians Contracted affiliated Physicians 18 Shared Commitments Provider Shared-risk Payment - Productivity - Quality Performance - Service Performance - Product Performance
2016 Physician Payment Model Available Productivity Quality Patient Experience Product Performance 2. 5% Total Payment 1/3 of Improvement * As quality and patient experience scores increase or product performance improves, total payment will increase Note: All performance payments are assessed at the group level * - capped at 12. 5%
Payer Strategy Medicare • Medicare Advantage – January 2013 • ACO – no thanks Medicaid • “ACO” model – January 2013 Commercial • – January 2016 • Followed by others
Lessons Learned… • • Invest in provider education and communication Develop guiding principles! Structure Business Intelligence to be simple & actionable Engage physicians in the development process from conception to realization Have agreement on definition and roles of data access Establish data governance Invest in provider to clinic mapping Build in enough time to get feedback from customers

22 PANEL: Population-Based Payment Approaches David Muhlestein Senior Director of Research and Development, Leavitt Partners
FIRST, KNOW THYSELF: HOW DIFFERENT TYPES OF PROVIDERS ARE ENGAGING – AND SUCCEEDING – IN ALTERNATIVE PAYMENT MODELS David Muhlestein, Ph. D, JD Senior Director of Research & Development Leavitt Partners @David. Muhlestein
AN ACO IS LIKE A UNICORN Or, if you’ve seen one ACO, you’ve seen one ACO Rather, ACOs are like animals… Each different, but similarities exist 24
DEVELOPMENT OF THE ACO TAXONOMY Goal to identify the structural differences of ACOs Integration Range of services directly furnished by the ACO Differentiation Total range of services either directly provided or through contracted provider Centralization Number of decision-makers that comprise the ACO 25
6 ACO TYPES 26
TAXONOMY LEARNINGS – CHALLENGES BY TYPE • Hospitals still viewed as revenue driver • Many moving parts, changes occur slowly • Reliance on inpatient revenue • Don’t provide as many subspecialty or post-acute care services • EMR interoperability is a hurdle given the multiple owner structure • Requires certain cultural compatibilities • Limited access to capital and heightened actuarial risk for losses given smaller patient populations • Limited ability to influence inpatient or post-acute care • Steep organizational learning curves • Increased time requirements & complexities to integrate care coordination programs • Barriers to establishing operational arrangements with hospitals • Often include multiple disparate EMR platforms 27
Polling Question WHICH OF THE SIX ACO TYPES IS BEST POSITIONED TO ACHIEVE THE TRIPLE AIM? A. D. B. E. C. F. 28
Survey Analysis NUMBER OF CONTRACTS Hospitals and physicians have same average number of contracts 100% 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% 66 55 50% 20% 0% 35 46 20% 10% 8 0% Integrated Delivery Physician-Led System 1 2 or More Hospital-Led 77 78 65 30% 67 81 92 40% 10% 70% 60% 92 22 35 33 19 8 Full Independent Physician Spectrum Physician Group Integrated Group Alliance 1 23 Expanded Independent Hospital Physician Hospital Alliance Group 2 or More 29

KEY TAKEAWAYS Providers are meaningfully different • Recognize your needs, capabilities and opportunities • Know your population Don’t reinvent the wheel • Constant, voracious learning • Learn from others, like you, that have made progress There is no single approach to managing a population • Start where you are • Specific payment models don’t work for all providers 33

Old Approach to Value Based Contracts 40
Overview of Value Based Contracts In Spring 2014, we reviewed 10 value-based contracts. Most Popular Measure Domains Diabetes Cancer Screening 148 Quality Measures 29 Utilization Measures BMI Cardiology Vaccines & Immunizations 177 Total Measures in 10 Contracts Admissions/ Readmissions Rx Preventive/ Wellness Care Other Asthma COPD Care Coordination/Patient Safety 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 90% 100% 41
Complications with Value Based Contracts 1. Some measures are similar but use slightly different definitions. For example, all 10 contracts reviewed measure Hb. A 1 C contract, but use three different definitions. 2. Measures are not consistent across contracts. There are only a few categories that most contracts score, e. g. , Diabetes. 42
New Approach to Value Based Contracts Align Quality & Utilization Measures LVHN champions 30 priority measures using 3 primary tactics: Ø Ø Ø Physician Incentive Program – Achieving Clinical Excellence ® Analytics based on claims and clinical analytic information Consistent care management strategy Powered by 43

Relative Episode Cost • Use Episode Grouping tool and rolling 12 months of medical & pharmacy claims • Episode costs are compared to commercial claims database of 42 M lives • Identify five most common episode base classes for each specialty • Each practice is scored on their relative costs of care for the common episodes • Episodes are risk-adjusted for severity, comorbidities, complications, and treatment 48
Low Back Pain Compliance 49
Changes to ACE for CY 16 • • • CG-CAHPS: participation -> results Episode cost score: more episodes included Quality measures: chart audits -> EMR Begin rewarding care gap closure projects Results: Paper reports -> Web portal Adding metrics for knowledge of and compliance with Choosing Wisely principles 50
