  1. Updates from the Lily Pad

  2. Why Isn’t Quality Better? Health Plans Not Letting Provider Value Show Through Providers Not Seeing Case for Reengineering Purchasers Not Buying Right, Toxic Payment System Consumers Not In the Quality Game Gridlock in the Health Care System: Everyone Responsible, No One Accountable New Thinking is Needed to “Leapfrog” the Gridlock

  3. Who we are-Populating the Pond Leapfrog represents.. • More than 170 large health care purchasers • More than 36 million Americans • More than $67 billion in health care expenditures

  4. Leapfrog’s Mission Statement Trigger Giant Leaps Forward in the Safety, Quality and Affordability of Healthcare By: • Supporting Informed Health Care Decisions by Those Who Use and Pay for Health Care • Promoting High-Value Health Care Through Incentives and Rewards

  5. Pillars for Improving Quality Standard Measurements & Practices Reimbursement: Incentives & Rewards Transparency

  6. Standard Measurements & PracticesTo achieve transparency and improved quality, we must ‘talk the same language’ when asking hospitals & doctors to report

  7. Initial Quality and Safety ‘Leaps’ • An Rx for Rx • Computer Physician Order Entry (CPOE) • Sick People Need Special Care • ICU Staffing with CCM Trained M.D. live or via tele-monitoring, or risk-adjusted outcomes comparison • The Best of the Best • Evidence-based Hospital Referral (EHR) or risk-adjusted outcomes comparison • Leapfrog Quality Index • Rolled-up score of the remaining 27 of the 30 NQF- endorsed Safe Practices

  8. TransparencyMake reporting results routine and use results to make health care purchasing decisions

  9. Information for Consumers & Purchasers on Hospital Patient Safety Practices

  10. Incentives & RewardsEncourage better quality of care through incentives and rewards

  11. Growing Efforts to Buy Right Leapfrog Group Compendium of Incentive and Reward Programs: http://www.leapfroggroup.org/ircompendium.htm • 90 programs nationwide – 1 in 4 include Leapfrog’s critieria • 9 target consumers • 18 target health plans • 32 target hospitals • 50 target physicians • 51% are financial • 87% are local • Good and Bad news: lots of programs but no clear signal for health care providers

  12. Leapfrog’s Hospital Rewards Program (LHRP) • Easy way for payers to bring incentives & rewards for hospital performance into specific markets- LHRP can be implemented by health plans, purchasers and coalitions • Adapts CMS-Premier demonstration program for the commercial sector • Focuses on performance improvement in both effectiveness and efficiency in 5 important clinical areas (see next slide) • Hospitals can participate with minimal additional reporting • Builds on & reinforces participation in the Leapfrog survey: performance on our survey is key to the program • Builds on & reinforces hospital participation in another national initiative: JCAHO • Rewards both top performers and improvers

  13. Focused Clinical Areas Were Chosen to Maximize Commercial Employer Impact • Each clinical area has NQF-endorsed measures collected through the ORYX initiative or through Leapfrog • Benchmarked against Medstat’s MarketScan, the 5 represent 33% of admissions and 20% of a commercial payer’s I/P spend

  14. Hospitals Arrayed in Four Performance Groups Using Expert-reviewed Statistical Methodology Cardiac Bypass Surgery 1.8 Good quality, But inefficient 1.6 1.4 1.2 Top Cohort Cohort 2 Efficiency Efficient, But poor quality Cohort 3 Cohort 4 1 0.8 0.6 0.4 0.8 0.85 0.9 0.95 1 1.05 1.1 Effectiveness

  15. The Leap over the Gridlock Has Begun • Rapid growth in purchasers signing on to Leapfrog’s approach • Rapid growth in hospitals and physicians disclosing status to their communities • Active health plan support • Massive education of consumers through purchasers • Market reinforcement beginning through different channels
