Learning Healthcare & Clinical Leadership in an Accountable Environment

• Numerous organizations issue reports ranking and rating hospitals. • Use CMS and proprietary data • Issue reports, provide websites, offer recognition • Some provide a forum for customer/patient reviews • Some are “pay to play”
BREAKING: CMS and health insurers unveil first set of standardized quality measures By Melanie Evans | February 16, 2016
The CMS and America's Health Insurance Plans, health plans' trade group, announced a new agreement to standardize measures of quality for the nation's doctors. Officials say the measures are necessary as payers and consumers seek to shop for high-quality care.
The agreement—which outlines seven sets of quality measures to be used across public and private payers—is the first to be announced by the Core Quality Measures Collaborative, which includes the CMS, AHIP, the American Academy of Family Physicians and the National Partnership for Women and Families. The National Quality Forum, an endorsement body for industry quality standards, was a technical adviser.
The announcement comes as industry stakeholders and policymakers struggle with how best to identify and reward high-quality healthcare. Measures of quality are increasingly tied to how much doctors and hospitals are paid and HHS said that by 2018 half of Medicare spending outside of managed care would be under contracts with rewards and potential penalties for quality. . .

MU is a Programme in the “HITECH” (Health Information Technology for Economic & Clinical Health) of ARRA:
• An “Interstate Highway Program” for Health Information Technology – Envisioned Interoperable Electronic Health Records
• Offered Incentives to Eligible Hospitals & Providers (Doctors) to adopt Electronic Health Records over a rolling four year period to end NLT 2017 – Over $30 BILLION in incentives have been distributed – BTW, Hospitals not achieving MU would ultimately
experience (incapacitating) payment penalties
Health IT: The “Meaningful Use” (MU) Programme

Earning Incentives / Avoiding Penalties Requires Hospitals & Providers to:
• Use “Certified” Electronic Health Records (EHR) incorporating Specified Data Standards
• Progressively Increase Use of EHR for – Physician Order Entry (e.g., labs, medications, imaging) – Demonstrate interoperability and information exchange
by sharing patient records with other providers and with patients
– Providing certain public health data to authorities – Demonstrating use of clinical decision support – Submitting specified electronic measures of care quality

Crossing the Digital Divide . . . Physician Practices
Decolonization reduces all blood stream infections (BSIs) by 44% and MRSA by 37%
• For every 99 patients decolonized, 1 BSI was avoided • Set a new standard for reducing BSIs in ICUs • Policy: Demonstrated that (9) state-mandated
screening were expensive and inappropriate
REDUCE MRSA: Study Findings
• Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality
• CDC Prevention Epicenters Steering Committee
• Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Institute / Harvard Medical School
• Hospital Corporation of America • Rush University • University of California Irvine
REDUCE MRSA: Discussion Fostering a Learning Health System
• REDUCE MRSA notable not only for its outcomes, but
for its methods: • Speed: Did not take one hospital 64 years to amass the
power of the study – it took 43 hospitals 18 months • Implementation: Not conducted by a single-purpose research
team, but by nurses and infection prevention professionals during routing patient care
• Setting: Did not occur in a controlled research unit, but within community hospitals across the country, embedded in routine care . . .
• Because of interoperable health information, REDUCE MRSA efficiently answered real-world questions, in real-world environments, that generalize to real-world situations

• Size: 33,000 Patients (vs. 75,000)
• Efficiency: ALLHAT $80M (vs. $3M, including supplies)
• Length of Study: 10 years (vs. 1½ years)
IT-Related Capabilities from Meaningful Use Investment: 1. Standard information platform
• Same EHR system in every hospital (MU Stage 1) • Conventions to assure semantic interoperability (conceptual
consistency) 2. Aggregation of data into one repository
• n.b., Current work from enterprise clinical data warehouse 3. Normalization of non-standardized data 4. Continuous data quality assessment and feedback 5. Analysis of aggregate data in situ assuring privacy &
security • i.e., Secure “sandbox” for analytics; no transmission beyond
organization

Learning opportunities are ubiquitous
Organizational learning has to be intentional • EHR’s don’t yet automate “pattern recognition” (i.e., relationship
between gestational age, complications, type of complications and cost of potentially avoidable services)
Organizational improvement also has to be intentional • Must obligate to using evidence
Clinical behavior change requires clinical leadership • Compelling data change discussion from religion to evidence

3. Harvesting the (Big) “Data-Dividend”
Overview

What if the results of REDUCE MRSA (of the strategies compared) were already present in data generated by previous care?
• What if trials could have been performed “in silica?” • In 18 minutes, not 18 months ? (REDUCE) • In 9 minutes, not 90 days ? (Pre-term delivery)
What other answers to pressing questions (cost, quality, precision medicine, policy) might exist in the “collective memory” of our healthcare services?
How do we harvest the “Data Dividend?”?
What If REDUCE MRSA Didn’t Require 18 Months?
