Increasing prevalence of chronic diseases
Costly medical technology
Increasing per capita incomes
Poorly aligned physician and hospital reimbursement structures and financial incentives
Moving From Volume to ValueValue-Based Care: The ‘Second Curve’
• CMS moving quickly from fee-for-service volume-based reimbursement (fee for service) to value-based, linking quality and payment
• By 2018, CMS goals
‒ 90% of reimbursement tiedto quality
‒ 50% tied to alternative payment models(ACO, bundled payments)

Bundled Payment InitiativesUncertainty with CMS…Gaining Ground With Commercial
• Total joint mandated April 2016 in 60 markets‒ Pre-op, post-acute, complications < 30
days pre-surgery, < 90 days post-surgery
• Reimbursement cut (up to 2%)
• Forced collaboration to reduce total cost of care
• Significant investment and effort
• 2/3 total joint hospitals losing money
• Uncertain future of CMS initiative
• Commercial carriers moving ahead

Moving Ahead with BundlesThe Way Forward
UnitedHealth Group to expand hip, knee, and spine bundled payments
Anthem Blue Cross pilots bundled payments on breast cancer treatment
Cigna’s latest creation caters to value-based providers, and plans
Aetna can’t escape fee-for-service medicine ‘fast’ enough; increasing appetite for value-based care contracts
Humana expands knee, hip, replacement bundled payment models
Value-based care here to stay, may invest in new growth

Does Employment Equal Alignment?Potential Downside of Physician Employment
For Physicians
• Lack of job security
• Compensation changes
• Burdensome call
• Lack of business control
• Loss of clinical autonomy
• Tyranny of non-compete clauses
For Hospitals
• Economic losses‒ Productivity
‒ Referral leakage
‒ Increased capital needs
• Political‒ Disenfranchised independents
‒ ‘Have’ and ‘have nots’
‒ Different incentives

Engage, Align, Integrate or Disintegrate?Taxonomy of the Physician-Hospital Relationship
Physician-Hospital Relationship
Degree of emotional involvement in and commitment to the organization’s long-
term success
Conglomeration of previously disparate entities of a multi-
function production process (vertical or
horizontal) along the value chain
ENGAGEMENT INTEGRATIONALIGNMENT
Degree of unity of purpose and existence of mutually beneficial goals
between physicians and the hospital

Physician-Hospital Alignment Index Survey
Physicians are involved in establishing evidence‐based clinical practice guidelines.
Physicians are provided with actionable data to improve clinical outcomes benchmarked against internal ‘best practices’.
The organization invests in ongoing training and education for physicians to address identified opportunities for improvement.
Physician and administrative leaders share decision‐making authority across all levels of the organization.
Collaborative structures equally engage members of the ‘mixed medical staff’ (e.g., employed and independent physicians) to support achieving organizational goals.
Total physician compensation is tied to achieving organizational goals.
There is a high degree of trust and collaboration between physicians and administrators.

Structure Drives CultureTransforming the “Physician Culture”
• Find common ground for unity of purpose and mutually beneficial goals
• Share power and control
• Create ownership and accountability
• Enable transparency of accurate and actionable data

• Established in 1961, not-for-profit
• Virginia’s only free-standing pediatric hospital
• 206 staffed beds, 50% intensive care
• 17 primary care pediatric practices
• 30+ pediatric medical and surgical practices

Need for Improved Collaboration
An 8 is faster than a 4 because there are more people pulling at the oars
Effort and time are required to develop strength and to coordinate strokes
27
Co-management Goals for CHKD
Improve quality, patient safety, patient experience, access, efficiency, and new programdevelopment by engaging and supporting providers as ‘co-managers’
Focus on sustainable resultsthrough continuous performance improvement
Improve transparency and accuracy of data for timely and effective decision-making
Offer fair market value compensationfor achieving pre-determined goals

Governance Structure
Steering Committee provides for oversight by key stakeholder representatives
Participating physicians and staff are assigned to an Operations team focused on 2-3 performance indicators

Steering Committee
OPERATIONS TEAM
Meets monthly to provide oversight and support, approve indicators, and monitor overall performance
Comprised of representatives from ‘mixed’ medical staff
29
Performance Measures
• Established by Steering Committee and reviewed or confirmed by each Operations Team
• Baseline established through data collection and validation
• Re-calibrated based on validation

16
Co-management StructureOperations (Work) Teams
• 2-3 physicians and 3-4 hospital staff
• Rotating membership
– Initially, each physician asked to participate on at least 1 team per year
• In second year, physician participation voluntary
• Meet as required to achieve performance measure goals
• Coaching support provided, as needed
