  6. Healthcare Resource Stewardship Council • Initially organized by BCBSM in 2011 to focus on the access to and affordability of care for Michigan citizens now and far into the future • Purpose: • To engage in collaborative efforts to ensure judicious use and active stewardship of health care resources. • Organizing principles: • Principles and governance set by PGIP community leaders • Large scale representation from PGIP POs • Integrate hospitals, patients, systems, and employer groups in future

  7. Healthcare Resource Stewardship Council • Current status: • 26 PGIP POs engaged in initial planning sessions • Vision and core tenets established in 2012 (see next slide) • HRSC Core Group and Value Partnerships meet monthly • Working with the Michigan Data Collaborative to establish a data reporting tool for PGIP POs to determine compliance rates with Choosing Wisely® guidelines

  8. HRSC Vision and Core Tenets Organize care to put patients first while making wise choices about care and the use of healthcare resources . CORE TENETS COMMUNICATION ACCESS ADVOCACY EMPOWERMENT • WHAT WILL WE ACCOMPLISH? • Culture change • Philosophy change • Shift in accountability • Measurement to support the accountability • Payment reform to support the work and accountability • WHAT DOES SUCCESS LOOK LIKE? • Movement from individual care to population management • All partners in healthcare delivery are empowered, engaged and aligned

  9. HRSC and Choosing Wisely® • In 2012, HRSC identified focus areas from Choosing Wisely® guidelines • Selected only guidelines that could be measured in BCBSM claims • Of those guidelines, HRSC identified those that: • Have a high impact on cost • Are evidence-based • Are easily amenable to change

  10. Choosing Wisely is an initiative of the ABIM Foundation to help physicians and patients engage in conversations about the overuse of tests and procedures and support physician efforts to help patients make smart and effective care choices. Consumer Reports leads consumer communication efforts for this campaign. Choosing Wisely 13

  11. What is the Physician’s Role in Choosing Wisely? The Charter’s commitment to a just distribution of finite resources specifically calls on physicians to be responsible for the appropriate allocation of resources and to scrupulously avoid superfluous tests and procedures.
