Disclosures
I receive a monthly retainer as a part time
(3 days / month) senior advisor for Health Catalyst.
Other than that, neither I nor any family
members have any relevant financial
relationships to be directly or indirectly
discussed, referred to or illustrated within the
presentation, with or without recognition.

The basis for variation research:
Apply rigorous
clinical research measurement methods(think “statistics”)
to
routine care delivery performance(that is, to quality of care)
SQ cienceuality
The opportunity (care falls short of its theoretic potential)
1. Massive variation in clinical practices (beyond
even the remote possibility that all patients receive good care)
2. High rates of inappropriate care (where the risk of
harm inherent in the treatment outweighs any potential benefit)
3. Unacceptable rates of preventable care-
associated patient injury and death
4. Striking inability to "do what we know works"
5. Huge amounts of waste, leading to spiraling
prices that limit access to care
James, B.C. Testimony to the U.S. Senate Finance Committee, February 2009
SQ cienceuality
The waste opportunity is HUGE
30-50+% of all health care resource
expenditures are
quality-associated waste:
• recovering from preventable foul-ups
• building unusable products
• providing unnecessary treatments
• simple inefficiency

We know why this happens
SQ cienceuality
Why? The collision of 2 forces:
(1) Continued reliance on the "craft of medicine" (clinicians as stand-alone experts; “best care” = “personal excellence”)
encounters
(2) Complexity; a.k.a. clinical uncertainty(the fruits of 100 years of clinical discovery, that changed the
nature of clinical practice – the ground shifted under our feet)
in the context of
(3) Low clinical transparency at a process level
(relatively poor data makes it difficult to causally link
treatment to outcome in routine care delivery)
SQ cienceuality
The craft of medicine
placing her patient's health care needs before any other end or goal,
Drawing on extensive clinical knowledge gained through formal education and experience
An individual physician
can craft a unique diagnostic and treatment regimen
customized for that particular patient.
This approach guarantees the best result possible for each patient.

Until now, we have believed that
the best way to transmit knowledge from its
source to its use in patient care
is to first load the knowledge into human minds
… and then expect those minds, at great
expense, to apply the knowledge
to those who need it.
Lawrence Weed
(Weed LL. New connections between medical knowledge and patient care. BMJ 1997; 315(7102):231-5 .
A culture of personal excellence

The craft of medicine
gets it right
54.9%of the time.
(for adults; only 46% “right” for pediatrics)
McGlynn EA, Asch SM, Adams J, et al. The quality of health care delivered to adults in the
United States. N Engl J Med 2003; 348(26):2635-45 (June 26).
Relying on expert memory …
SQ cienceuality
“The complexity of modern medicine
exceeds the capacity of the unaided
expert mind.”David M. Eddy, MD, PhD
In today’s increasingly complex practice environment,
reliance on the craft alone
is scientifically untenable
➢ Eddy is the “father” of evidence-based medicine- first used the term in the published literature in 1990
- developed most of the formal methods still used today for evidence review and summation
➢ He was based out of Stanford University at the time
➢ Evidence-based medicine was popularized by Dr. David Sackett, et al.- first used the term in the published literature in 1995
- Which is more important? Inventing it, or spreading it broadly?

Examples of removing waste
Waste class
a) Inappropriate cases (risk outweighs benefit)
(e.g., many cath lab procedures; CTPA)
b) Preference-sensitive cases(when given a fair choice, many patients opt out)
(e.g., elective hips, knees; end-of-life care)
c) Avoidable cases(hot spotting; move upstream)
(e.g., team-based care)
Waste subclasses
a) Supply chain
b) Administrative inefficiencies- regulatory burden - billing thrash
- TPS Lean observation - current EMR function
a) Clinical variation(e.g., QUE studies; surgical equipment)
b) Avoidable patient injuries(e.g., serious safety event systems; CLABSI)

Nearly always with proper clinical management
better care is cheaper carethrough waste elimination
The path to financial success leads
through clinical excellence
SQ cienceuality
Quality is not free (Phil Crosby was waxing poetic)
It always requires investment- change leadership (time and thought),
- study and investigation,
- data systems,
- physical plant, equipment …
it’s just that it has a
massive return on investment (ROI)
➢ Key questions:
- Who makes the investment?
- Who gets the savings?

Note: For green arrows, savings from waste elimination accrue to the care
delivery organization; for red arrows, savings go to payer organizations.

What does the future hold?
Walter Gretzky (Wayne Gretzky’s father):

SQ cienceuality
“Pay for value” continues to grow
Forward looking indicators:
➢Kaiser Permanente (continued rapid growth within
existing geographic markets, mostly)
➢Medicare Advantage (continued rapid growth)
➢ACOs (Leavitt Group; mostly commercial)
➢ERISA direct to provider contracting(11% of large employers, according to Modern Healthcare)
➢Provider-payer consolidation (vertical alignment)
by ownership or partnership (e.g., United Healthcare; UPMC)

Implications – we will see:
➢ Increasing focus on waste elimination: primary care-based population health; clinical variation control using clinical decision support tools (a.k.a. clinical knowledge management = “learning healthcare systems”)
➢ Care delivery organizations will increasingly seek capitated risk through
ownership or partnership (a.k.a. “pay for value); watch for payer/care provider consolidation
➢ Stand-alone specialty care practices and hospitals become “price takers” –intense competition mainly around payment rates
