By the end of this session, attendees will be able to:• Identify barriers facing community-based organizations (CBOs) to participate in sustainable partnerships with health systems.• Describe a tool to calculate financial risks and rewards for CBOs that partner with health systems to address social needs for high-need, high-cost individuals •List ways to ensure that cost savings from clinical-CBO partnerships reach CBO partners and help fund upstream prevention

Why do we need to optimize financial risks & rewards?
What are the challenges facing Community-Based Organizations (CBOs)?

VBP (Value-Based Payment) creates opportunities
• CMS and some states are aggressively moving to VBP
• In NY, 80% of all Medicaid provider payments must be value based by
2020.
• VBP creates a new business case for partnerships between
providers and CBOs to address Health-Related Social Needs (HRSNs)

We improve care andthe social determinants of health by making clinical-community partnerships more effective and efficient
About HealthBegins
Our clients and partners include the American Hospital Association, Medicaid health plans, large hospitals and healthcare delivery systems, community health centers and self-insured employers. In 2017, HealthBegins was selected to provide technical assistance to CMS Accountable Health Communities model grantees.

Challenges for CBOs
Valuing CBO services provided to the patient, especially in ways that the health system recognizes
Predicting the costs involved with providing services to the patients
Representing the costs and benefits to the health care system
Communicating and advocating for their own organizational interests
Creating a formal agreement – or multiple formal agreements – around a partnership

Meet Mrs. M She’s a 46 year old mother of two who also cares for her frail elderly mother.
Her Type II diabetes is poorly controlled (last HbA1c = 8.1). She has mild heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. At the end of last month, she nearly fainted at work and was admitted at a local hospital.
The cause of her admission was hypoglycemia (low blood sugar).Root cause: Food insecurity
Lower-income diabetic adults have a 27% higher rate of hospital admissions at the end of the month due to food insecurity, compared with higher-income diabetics. Seligman HK, et al. Health Affairs. 2014;33(1):116–23

A step-wise approach to charting a course upstream
Identify our:1. Priority populations2. Priority social determinants of health3. Existing barriers and solutions4. Early wins 5. Roadmap to achieve early wins

For example, Adult diabetics with high rates of preventable hospitalization within 4 zip codes in your shared catchment areaThe more precise the definition, the better.
1. Pick a Priority population

A step-wise approach to charting a course upstream
Identify our:1. Priority populations (e.g. Diabetics like Mrs.M)
2. Priority social determinants of health3. Existing barriers and solutions4. Early wins 5. Roadmap to achieve early wins

2. Pick a “Root Cause” social determinant of health or health-related social need, based on your priority population.
The more specific, the better.
For example, Food insecurity

We recognize that stakeholder prioritiesoften differ by level of prevention
PrimaryPrevention
SecondaryPrevention
TertiaryPrevention
Primary prevention is concerned with preventing the onset of disease; it aims to reduce the incidence of disease.
Secondary prevention is concerned with detecting a disease in its earliest stages, before symptoms appear, and intervening to slow or stop its progression: "catch it early."
Tertiary prevention refers to interventions designed to arrest the progress of an established disease and to control its negative consequences.

Stakeholder priorities also differ by level of intervention

CommunityLevel of Intervention
Interventions directed toward individual beneficiaries (e.g. patients, clients)
Interventions directed toward organizations and their stakeholders (e.g. employees, vendors, partners, investors)
Interventions directed toward entire communities or broad populations(e.g. zip codes, cities, states)

Our path to building upstream capability and impact
Ready
Set
Go 3. Go Upstream with QI Using the Upstream Quality Improvement toolkit, launch rigorous, targeted campaigns to redesign systems and workflows to dramatically improve your health and social outcome measures.
1. Get ReadyTake the Upstream Capability Assessmentto assess your healthcare system’s readiness to effectively address social determinants of health.
2. Get SetBased on your level of readiness, our experts & coaches help you identify a priority population, an upstream problem, relevant partners and data to move upstream.

Health system and CBO leaders each complete an organizational Upstream Capability Assessment, an online tool to identify strengths and areas for improvement in ten domains of performance.

Opportunities for CBOsVBP is about taking on risk for performance◦ Think long and hard about who holds the risk
CBOs may only view contracts with health systems as a “grant”. That misses the real opportunity. ◦ Instead, CBOs can pivot to a shared savings model in which upside is linked to
performance.◦ Larger CBOs are generally better positioned to share in upside savings and,
potentially, be exposed to downside risk.◦ Even for CBOs that operate on shoestring budget, there are absolutely
opportunities to share in upside savings.

Community-based organizations (CBOs) need to identify real costs and calculate potential risks and rewards for providing services in a health system-community
partnership
How do we do this?

Risk Depends On Uncertainty About Effectiveness and Costs
Effectiveness risk: The social services do not perform as expected.
Cost risk: The social services cost more than
expected.

Using The Tool: Example of CTIA hospital and a CBO are negotiating to partner in providing home and community-based services for discharged patients at risk for readmissions & ED visits.
The service portfolio is comprehensive
◦ Nutritional support
◦ Transportation
◦ Home health nursing
What is the ROI?
Should payment be a 30-day bundled rate for all required services, or payment on a fee-for-service basis? Or gain sharing?

Plan to reinvest or reallocate cost savings from downstream wins to support upstream solutions

Build and transfer capability to community
Plan and structure contracts to: • Optimize and align financial risk/rewards between CBOs & HC• Align payments with disparity targets• Require transfer of resources, performance management +/-
technology capabilities from healthcare to social, public health and civil society organizations.

◦Need a proactive strategy that involves communication/engagement/training◦ For example, in NY DRSIP Medicaid Redesign efforts, ◦ In 2018, more advanced value-based payment contractors (providers) must address at least one SDOH and must contract with a CBO to do it.
◦NYS and participating providers held bootcamps, specifically targeted to CBOs
Investing in CBOs
