10th SOW Tasks: Beneficiary and Family Centered Care
What is Case Review?
Comprehensive review of information from multiple data sources to analyze the
care and services provided to the beneficiary during an episode of care.
What are the types of case reviews?
• Quality of Care Reviews
• beneficiary initiated quality of care concerns, other persons or
entities, referral of cases for quality of care review
• Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA) Reviews
• Potential Anti-Dumping Cases
• Reviews of Beneficiary Requests of Provider Discharges/Service
Terminations and Denials of Hospital Admissions
• Higher-Weighted Diagnosis-Related Group (HWDRG) Reviews
10th SOW Tasks: Beneficiary and Family Centered Care
Patient and Family Engagement Campaign
As directed by CMS, the QIO must develop and implement a Patient and
Family Engagement Campaign that supports the DHHS and CMS goals of
person-centeredness and family engagement and promotes statewide quality
improvement that aligns with the National Quality Strategy.
Who is the target audience?
All Medicare beneficiaries and their representatives, Non-Medicare
beneficiaries for Emergency Medical Treatment and Active labor Act (EMTALA)
10th SOW Tasks: Integrating Care for Population & Communities
Improving Care Transitions Leading to Reduction of Readmissions
o Improve the quality of care for Medicare beneficiaries as they transition between
providers
o Reduce readmissions following hospitalization by 20%
o Yield sustainable and replicable strategies to achieve high-value health care
Using Data to Drive Dramatic Improvement in Communities
o Identify communities with opportunities for improvement
o Ensure communitywide adoption of improved practices.
o Conduct rapid-cycle community-based improvement initiatives and learning
activities
o Develop a statewide community health care indicator map
o Scan horizon for indices of patient care, population health, and per capita cost
10th SOW Tasks: Improving Health for Populations & Communities
Promotion of Immunizations and Screenings
o Improving 4 Preventive Services:
o Flu immunizations
o Pneumococcal vaccinations
o Colorectal screening
o Breast cancer screening
Cardiovascular Health Campaign
o Improving 4 Cardiac Health Measures:
o Low-dose aspirin therapy

10th SOW Tasks: Improving Individual Patient Care
Reducing Adverse Drug Events
o Implement PDSA cycles for improvement
o
o
o
o
Develop and implement safe medication systems
Develop patient education tools
Tracking compliance of beneficiaries
Data managing
o Create a registry to track and monitor beneficiaries health status is a part of
managing the data
o Track all adverse and preventable adverse drug events that are ongoing among
community teams
10th SOW Tasks: Improving Individual Patient Care
Quality Data Reporting: Promote and support hospital Inpatient Quality
Reporting (IQR) program participation and Hospital Outpatient Quality
Reporting (OQR) program participation from both CAH and PPS facilities.
What’s been added?
o Outpatient Data Collection and Reporting
o Support of CAH Data Collection and Reporting for Inpatient and Outpatient
o Statewide Quality Improvement:
o Focuses on clinical topics included in CMS Hospital Quality Reporting programs
and patient experience of care
o Statewide assistance to hospital inpatient and outpatient depts.
o Inpatient - Includes quality of care processes (SCIP, AMI, HF, and PN) and patient
experience of care (inpatient)
o Outpatient – Includes quality of care processes (ED–AMI/Chest Pain, SCIP)
o Evaluates attainment and improvement
o More clinical topic areas in inpatient setting
Value-Based Purchasing (VBP)
Per the provisions in the Hospital Value-Based Purchasing Program (VBP) final
rule, payments will be tied to performance on quality measures, related to
common and high‐cost conditions, such as cardiac, surgical and pneumonia
care.
Next steps…
• By March 23, 2012 – Secretary must establish 2 separate, three-year VBP
demonstration programs:
• one for CAHs, and one for small hospitals with insufficient numbers of
measures and/or cases;
• these demonstrations programs are currently underway;
• the programs are to culminate in a report and recommendations for
permanent VBP programs.
• By October 1, 2012 (FY13) – hospitals will be paid based on the quality performance
standards
Why Should You Report?
Getting on board now with Inpatient and/or Outpatient Reporting (IQR/OQR)
will help you and your team:
• Improve patient care across broad populations, both inpatient and outpatient
• Implement/sustain an informed quality improvement program
• Improve hospital services, administration and operations
• Allow for your hospital’s comparison to benchmarks that will be released in
August of this year
• What gets measured gets managed
• Allow for your hospital to improve its’ performance now by putting systems in
place early, so your hospital’s payment will not be negatively affected.
• This will help to engage your staff in important quality improvement
initiatives.
Please Note: If your facility is already on board with Inpatient reporting, the transition to
Outpatient reporting is very minimal. The abstraction time is much, much less and the
Outpatient measures are more beneficial to a CAH setting.
