Public Policy Imperatives
Medicare Mandates in MMA
• Voluntary submission of 10
inpatient measures.
• Update is 0.4% higher for those
who submit.
• No payment difference based on
submitted data.
North Carolina Hospital Association
9
CMS Value-Based Purchasing
Plan
• Beginning FY 2007, hospitals report 21
measures or lose 2% in Medicare PPS
reimbursement.
• Value-based payments beginning FY 2009.
• No payment increase allowed for patients
with hospital-acquired infections.
• Two VBP listening sessions:
• January 17, 2007
• April 12, 2007
North Carolina Hospital Association

VBP Program Details
•
•
•
•
Budget neutral.
In-line with IOM and MedPAC.
Build on existing CMS measures.
Three domains:
1) Clinical quality
2) Patient centered care
3) Efficiency
• Performance measures and payments
for outpatient care.
North Carolina Hospital Association
11
Goals of CMS Value-Based
Purchasing Program
•
•
•
•
•
Improve clinical quality.
Reduce adverse events.
Encourage patient centered care.
Avoid unnecessary costs.
Stimulate investments in improving
quality and/or efficiency.
• Make performance results transparent
and comprehensible, empowering
consumers.

CMS and Premier Quality
Demonstration Project
• Performance rates of >76% may prevent:
5,700 deaths and 8,100 complications
10,000 readmissions and 750,000 hospital days
• For 59,000 pneumonia cases:
Patients receiving the least number of quality
measures cost the hospital $11,107.
Patients receiving the highest number of quality
measures cost the hospital $8,351 -- a savings
of $2,756 per case.

Key Lessons for Hospitals
From a CMS exec:
“We are moving toward value-based
payments to hospitals.”
“More important for hospital and
system managers may be the trend
toward incentives for preventing
admissions.”

1. The ov erall score is the sum of patients across the measures that receiv ed the appropriate treatment (i.e., sum of numerators)
div ided by the sum of patients eligible f or treatment (i.e., sum of denominators).
2. The sum of denominators across measures. This is not a count of unique heart f ailure patients. If the sum of the demoninators < 25,
then the ov erall score is an unreliable measure of perf ormance and is, theref ore, not shown.
NA (not applicable) indicates that no data is available from the hospital for this measure.

and heart failure.
• In partnership with NC Office of Rural
Health, NCHA and CCME.
• Commitment by 26 small, rural hospitals.
• Utilizes an optimal care score to measure
performance.
• Workshops and collaborative learning
along with performance reporting.
• Considered a national model for CAHs.
North Carolina Hospital Association
19
Improvements Achieved By
• Collaborative workgroups, coaching &
mentoring, sharing resources.
• Initial focus on pneumonia and heart failure &
development of reliable care processes.
• Performance measurement, benchmarks and
transparency are key.
• Analyses and reports feature:

• Also Optimal Care or “perfect care”.
• A more stringent outcome measure that
reflects ability to manage care processes.
• Completion of a full set or bundle of tasks.
• Emphasizes patient centered care and
focuses on system-wide improvement.
• Appropriateness of care measures help to
focus improvement efforts.
• JCAHO and CMS are moving toward
optimal care measures.

When hospitals’ quality data is reported publicly…
Performance improves (for the measures being
reported).
Market share doesn’t change appreciably.
Reputation improves considerably.

• Standardization of processes based on clear specification
and articulation of the norm.
• Uses human factors and reliability science to design
sophisticated failure prevention, identification and
mitigation.

How To Accomplish
10-2 Performance
1. Need an established, standardized improvement process,
focused on rapid cycle improvement.
2. Use reliability concepts in process design.
3. 10-2 reliability requires outcomes of 95% or better. Set that
as the target.
4. A commitment to measurement ..... 'rule of threes' as
measurement guide. If you measure 30 cases and have three
or more faults, then quit measuring and concentrate on
redesign because the process is 10-1.
5. Use segmentation to develop and test the reliability of the
design. Segmentation allows control of variables while the
process is redesigned. Once the process is standardized to
10-2 reliability on the segmented group, then it can rollout to
the broader population.
North Carolina Hospital Association
48
The Pneumovax Example
• Commonly described in order sheets as
“Give Pneumovax if indicated”
• Poorly defines a process.
• Default is too commonly not to give the
Pneumovax
• No testing of competency or training of
new employees can occur
North Carolina Hospital Association
49
The Three Step Design for
Reliability
Design Techniques
Steps
1-Identify the process to standardize
2-Segment the population to test the
design for anomalies
3-Use both 10-1 and 10-2 concepts
Prevent initial failure by standardizing the
process to achieve 10-1 (step 1)
1-Utilize a robust 10-2 concept to make
visible failures from step 1 after step 1 has
achieved 10-1 reliability
2-Once the failure is identified, apply an
action to mitigate the failure
Identify failures in step 1 and apply an action
to achieve 10-1 for these failures (step 2)
1-Identify common failures
2-Develop a method to measure and study
failures
3-Utilize knowledge of common failures to
redesign either step 1 or step 2
In either step 1 and/or step 2 detect the
failures, and use the knowledge from analysis
of the failures to redesign (step 3)
Why Segmentation
• Allows for control of variables.
• Defines the boundaries around which expectations
can be formed.
• More likely to test the validity of the design rather
than confront barriers.
• Fosters a deeper understanding of the design
complexity required.
• Forces understanding of the differences between
segments as design strategies.
• Permits design beyond the disease.
• Allows the formation of more predictable timelines.
North Carolina Hospital Association
51
How to “Set-Up” Reliability
• Identify a process to make more reliable.
• Determine a high volume segment for initial
design and testing.
• Describe the current process (flow chart).
• Identify where the defects occur in the
process.
• Set a specific reliability goal for the
segment/process.
North Carolina Hospital Association
52
Reliability Design Strategy
• Prevent initial failure using intent
and standardization (10-1).
• Identify defects, using redundancy,
then mitigate failures.
• Measure, then communicate learning
from defects back into the process
design.
North Carolina Hospital Association
53

Education as

concept (step 1)
Redundancy in
the form of a

change concept
(step 2)
Hospital Leaders Must
Understand Reliability
• Level 1: Standardization, performance
feedback, training, vigilance
• Level 2: Bundles, multidisciplinary
rounds and other redundancy methods,
scheduling discharges, habits and
patterns
• Level 3: Failure mode analysis: prevent,
detect, mitigate, and redesign
North Carolina Hospital Association
55
What Improvement Teams Should
Expect From Leadership
• Clearly describe the organizational outcome
goals.
• Understand the relationship between the
processes the teams are working on and the
outcome goals of the organization.
• Set process expectations for the teams.
• Demand data to show how reliable the process
has become.
• Setting reasonable timelines.
• If outcomes have not improved and process
reliability is high, provide resources to determine
the “correctness of performance” of the
processes.
North Carolina Hospital Association
56
What Leaders Should Expect of Teams
• Expect the initial focus of work to be “getting the
process right” with a known connection to an
outcome.
• Expect the team to take a set of processes to an
agreed upon level of reliability within a specified
timeline.
• Expect the teams to use good design principles
not just hard work and vigilance.
• Expect teams to develop good designs by using
rapid cycle tests of change.
• Expect adequate process structure to sustain the
work.
North Carolina Hospital Association
57
Key Lesson
A single standardized process within
the acceptable science is superior to
allowing multiple processes while
deciding which is the best because it
allows testing for competency and
training new employees.
North Carolina Hospital Association
58
Observation re: Reliability
The reliability of known or required
processes in healthcare commonly is 10-1
(80%) or worse (for non-catastrophic
processes).
Given all the resources and talent that we
have in healthcare, why does this happen?

Mean of CAH/Rural Hospitals
Benchmark for NC Hospitals
Reasons Why?
• Current improvement methods in
healthcare are highly dependent on
vigilance and hard work.
• There is an inordinate focus on outcomes
rather than process.
• Failure to design standard work which
can be used in testing and training.
• Poor understanding of how to design
reliable processes.

Key Learning Points
• Hard work and vigilance are not good design
principles.
• 10-2 change concepts should comprise at least
25% of the improvement effort for a given project.
• If you accept benchmark level performance in
your organization you often compare yourself
against mediocrity and foster 10-1 performance.
• Benchmark outcomes against the industry best.
• Measure processes against a specific reliability
goal (10-2).

hospital quality performance
Findings
Financial incentives did focus hospital executive attention
on measuring and improving quality.
Hospitals’ performance has improved continuously over
time.
