Transforming Arizona’s Healthcare System
• Reduce fragmentation• Integrate delivery system• Align Incentives• Improve Quality• Lower Costs
13
Facilitating System Integration
• Why does this matter?• System fragmentation means providers do not talk
to each other and patients slip through the cracks• Integration at the health plan level – one entity
accountable with utilization data to manage whole health of the member
• Integration at provider level – no longer working in a silo but thinking about serving patients as part of a care team
14
Facilitating Integration: Behavioral Health
• Acute care plans for physical health• Regional Behavioral Health Authorities (RBHAs) for
behavioral health• April 1, 2014 – New RBHA for Maricopa County brings
PH and BH together under the same plan for individuals with SMI
• Greater AZ RBHA released to achieve similar alignment• One entity responsible for whole health • Data Sharing requirements between acute plans and
RBHAs for other populations
15
Facilitating Integration: CRS
• Children with Special Health Needs navigating 3 to 4 plans – CRS, acute plan, RBHA and Medicare
• Families overwhelmed with responsibility for coordinating between multiple systems
• October 1, 2013 – launched one plan for all services, UnitedHealthcare Community Plan
• Enhanced case management and care coordination
16
Facilitating Integration: Dual Eligibles
• Dual eligibles enrolled in Medicare and Medicaid• Many duals have special health care needs yet they must
navigate two enormous systems that do not speak to each other• AHCCCS requires plans to be Medicare D-SNPs• 53,000 out of 130,000 duals aligned, better outcomes • Avalere study: 43% fewer days in hospital; 19% lower average
LOS; 21% lower readmission; 9% fewer ED visits and higher preventive services accessed
• As part of Greater AZ RBHA RFP, integrating BH into acute care plans for duals
17
Improving Care Coordination
• Team based approach to care• Access to data at both the administrative/health plan
level as well as the provider level• Understanding what to do with data• Holding all of the players in the system – e.g., State,
health plan, providers – accountable for quality and efficiency
18
Care Coordination: The Super Utilizer
Who is the Super Utilizer?• In the top cohort for ED utilization, IP days and risk
score• Many have behavioral health needsDo you have Super Utilizers in your practice?• Many primary care providers don’t even know
patients empaneled to them have been to the ED multiple times while hospitals know them by name
• Partner with your health plan, BH, hospital
19
• Data exchange between Acute Plans and RBHAs to reduce ED visits by 10% and develop better care management protocols
• Improve provider and member engagement • Develop prevention model• Best practices: coordination at administrative level,
regular team meetings of clinicians, sharing real-time date, mutual care plan, ensuring availability of support services, pediatric check-up protocol
Care Coordination: The Super Utilizer
20
Payment Reform: More Than A Buzz Word
• Must shift away from Fee-for-Service Model that pays for quantity
• Value Based Purchasing – rewarding providers for quality outcomes
• AHCCCS has not dictated a model• Health plans and providers should arrive at a
payment model that makes the most sense for that practice
21
AHCCCS Requirements• 5% of acute plan payments in shared savings• Increasing to 10% for 2013• 1% capitation withhold returned if quality metrics metChallenges/Opportunities• Provider capacity to enter modernized payment
structures, including data exchange with plans• SIM Grant opportunity to assist plans and providers
to partner on value-based contracting tied to care coordination, reduced ED utilization and increased use of PCPs
Payment Reform: More Than A Buzz Word
22
Preparing for This New World
• Open your practice to people with special health care needs
• Embrace electronic records and get help if you need it (AzHEC; incentive payments)
• Think broadly about your practice as a critical part of your patient’s care team
• Get to know your care team partners – hospitals, behavioral health providers, health plans/RBHAs
• Look to your associations for technical support in transforming your business models and practice flows

Why Integration Matters
25
Its just the right thing to do
• Arizonans with a Severe Mental Illness die nearly 25 years earlier than other Arizonans
• Many times this is due to preventable medical conditions that, if treated, would improve quality of life
26
How should I treat a person with a Severe Mental Illness?
The answer is simple – Just like you would anyone else• Nearly 1 in 4 Americans has a diagnosable
mental illness 2
• These individuals are mothers, fathers, grandparents and children-Just like the rest of us “normal” people
27
Its about the whole person
“Mental illnesses and chronic diseases are closely related. Chronic diseases can exacerbate symptoms of depression, and depressive disorders can themselves lead to chronic diseases.” 5
28
Is it really that big of a deal?
• Between 4%-6% of Americans has a Severe Mental Illness 1
• Mental disorders are the leading cause of disability in the U.S. and Canada.3
• Many people suffer from more than one mental disorder at a given time. Nearly half (45 percent) of those with any mental disorder meet criteria for 2 or more disorders, with severity strongly related to comorbidity.1
29
They are related
– 68% of adults with mental disorders have medical conditions6
– 29% of adults with medical conditions have mental disorders6
30
Chronic Diseases
• Key Chronic Diseases Identified by CDC –Heart disease, Cancer, Stroke, Diabetes, Arthritis, Obesity
• Chronic diseases are the No. 1 cause of death and disability in the U.S.7
• In 2009, 145 million Americans – almost half of all Americans – lived with a chronic condition.8
• Treating patients with chronic diseases accounts for 75 percent of the nation's health care spending.9
• Presenteeism is responsible for the largest share of lost economic output associated with chronic health problems.10
• The most expensive conditions in terms of presenteeism are arthritis, hypertension and depression.11
31
Prevalence of Treatment for Chronic Conditions12
• Mental Illness– 45.1M impacted; 37.9% receiving treatment
• Substance Use Disorder– 22.4M impacted; 18.3% receiving treatment
• Diabetes– 25.8M impacted; 84% receiving treatment
• Heart Disease– 81.1M impacted; 74.6% receiving screening
• Hypertension– 74.5M impacted; 70.4% receiving treatment

A Growing Need
• Between 1996 and 2006, the number of individuals with health care expenditures for mental disorders increased 88% (36 million people)
• This is the single largest increase among the top 5 health conditions
• During the same period health care expenditures for mental disorders increased 63% to $57.5 billion14
34
Primary and Mental Health Shortages
• 30% of Arizonans live in a primary care Health Professional Shortage Area (HPSA) 13
• 80% of Arizonans live in a mental health HPSA– 2nd highest percentage in the nation13
• It will take everyone working together to better utilize our collective resources
35
Integrated Healthcare at the State Level
• Maricopa County– $1B annual contract with Mercy Maricopa
Integrated Care to manage behavioral and physical health for individuals diagnosed with Serious Mental Illness as well as behavioral health for GMH/SA individuals
• Greater AZ– RFP released soon that will incorporate the
Maricopa County integrated care approach. Region divided into North and South geographic service areas.
36
Integration at the Provider Level
• Offering integrated services improves the patient experience and can enhance compliance with treatment
• Integrated services can lower costs by reducing administrative overhead, reducing missed appointments and enhancing care coordination through technology
37
How Do I Make a Difference?
• Encourage a culture of taking mental health seriously, from the top down.
• Have formal and informal policies about workplace conduct when working with patients experiencing mental health issues.
• Hold a Mental Health Awareness Month or other visible mental health-friendly events/activities and educational/informational materials.
• Understand that it may take a little more time to help a person with mental illness up front but the long term payoff is worth it
38
How Do I Make a Difference?
• Collaborate– Be a network provider for a RBHA providing
integrated care– If not…be open to care coordination efforts
• Think about the whole person– Rule other conditions out before ruling MI/SUD in
• We tend to be more dismissive of symptoms for individuals with MI/SUD conditions
• Not treating the whole person costs everyone in the end
