Horizon Healthcare Innovations, (HHI)
Born Sept 2010
HHI is a subsidiary of Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey,
founded in 2010 to energize the transformation of healthcare delivery
and create a system marked by quality and effective care, greater
efficiency and increased affordability. We acknowledge that the
status quo is broken.
To achieve our long-term aspirations, HHI will innovate, create and
collaborate with our partners including physicians, hospitals, community
leaders, employers, patients and other individuals who want to make a
difference. We are looking for partners in our quest.

We are in the process of developing 6 potential pilots, with the goal to launch
2-4 by the end of 2010

Efficient
Episodes
Inpatient
Management
Population management
▪ Creating a truly patient-centric model of care delivery supported by a
care team of heath professionals:
– HHI is driving physician practices to transform to take on greater
accountability, activity and responsibility for health
– Is inclusive of all members, but focuses on early and late stage chronic
patients
▪ Improving quality and reduce costs through local accountability,
standardized performance measurement, and innovative
reimbursement structures
Acute procedural episodes
▪ Reimbursing a single individual or entity for all the components of a
patient’s care related to a specific procedure or an acute episode of a
medical diagnosis within a defined period around that procedure or episode
▪ Encouraging eligible physicians to achieve compliance with the program
goals for quality of care and efficient delivery of inpatient care
Chronic care management
Oncology
Medical Home
▪ Transforming oncology practices to deliver treatment and patient guidance
Consumer
engagement
▪ Transforming the management of chronic disease – leveraging
that is evidence-based, consistent, and in the best interest of the
patient
technology to create consumer ownership of health and healthcare
thereby improving medication / treatment protocol adherence and selfmonitoring / healthy activities post diagnosis
|5
Guiding principles of the care model pilots
1
Promote high quality, ‘best in class’ evidence based care
2
Tie actions to results, tracking clinical decisions and quality performance
3
Establish closer payor/provider collaboration
4
Support providers to increase affordability
5
Encourage patient ownership and responsibility
6
Be easily scalable over the longer term
|6
Horizon’s medical homes aim to address both the systemwide and condition-specific issues that patients experience
Primary Care Specific Issues
• Current models promote transactional
interactions, not prevention and holistic care
• Little incentive and infrastructure to support
coordination among physicians
• Difficulty getting appointments scheduled
without long lead times
Planned
2011 pilots
Potential
later pilots
Oncology Specific Issues
• High level of patient anxiety
• No physician identified as responsible for the
patient’s overall care
• Significant side effects from treatment
• Difficult end of life decisions
Common Issues Addressed by Care Models
• No single physician accountable for total health care needs and costs
• No system accountability for inefficiency and waste
• Lack of patient / member accountability for their own health care
• Little non-clinical support causes patient confusion
• Lack of focus on overall patient health and wellness
• Fragmented delivery system with misaligned incentives
Pregnancy Specific Issues
Cardiology Specific Issues
• Above average number of high-risk patients in
NJ (e.g., diabetics, obese, 40+)
• High rate of multiple birth pregnancies and
cesarean sections
• Lack of support for mother and child throughout
and after the pregnancy
• Older patients with a high rate of co-morbidities
• Lack of support and guidance for necessary
lifestyle changes
• Multiple potential treatment options

The Horizon Healthcare Innovations Primary Care Medical Home uses
a team based approach to execute four patient-centered strategies,

The PCMH model transforms delivery of primary care
From PCP care model…
…to Patient Centered Medical Home model
▪ Variation in Quality between and within
▪ Care standardized according to evidence-
practices - scheduled time and practice’s or
physician’s tracking mechanisms
▪ Care focus determined by immediate
episodic problems and presence of patients
(face to face time)
▪ PCP appointments often scheduled when
based guidelines and measured on quality,
patient experience and utilization
▪ Care collaboratively managed by team with a
▪
▪
patients deem necessary
▪ Patients left to coordinate their own care,
including visits to specialists
▪ Inconsistent reporting / documentation from
hospital and specialist visits
proactive plan to meet patients’ needs
Members build on-going relationship with care
team through increased communication
PCMH and patient collaborate to ensure
timely and appropriate outreach and f/u
appointments
▪ Referrals are coordinated by care team,
▪
information is shared with specialists.
PCMH co-creates care plan and educates /
engages patients to obtain positive outcomes
▪ PCMH tracks tests / consultations, and follows
up on ED / hospital visits
| 10
Patients will have a new experience with increased engagement and
participation throughout the care process
Patient Access
▪ Practice uses physician extenders to increase capacity and availability
▪ Strong links with providers facilitates access (e.g., behavioral health network)
▪ Patient and case

Fragmented and variable care without
full use of EBM guidelines reduces
quality and creates waste
Care coordinator serves as the “patient
navigator” coordinating care and
guiding patients through treatment
Patients very anxious given their cancer
diagnosis and lack a single non-physician
point of contact and guidance
Realigned incentives reward practices
for care coordination, member support
and use of evidence based guidelines
