1 Using Decision Support to Promote Value Based Prescribing Session 218, February 14, 2019 Adam Szerencsy, DO Medical Director, Ambulatory Informatics NYU Langone Health 1
2 Conflict of Interest Adam Szerencsy, DO Has no real or apparent conflicts of interest to report. 2
3 Agenda Why are we doing this? Prioritizing medication classes to target Interventions Results Limitations Factors impacting success 3
4 Learning Objectives Formulate a strategy for deploying decision support to influence medication prescribing Evaluate what types of metrics should be used to measure success Identify what factors contribute to provider acceptance of lower cost, therapeutic equivalent medications Define external processes that may limit the effectiveness of clinical decision support interventions Recognize barriers that may impact provider and patient adoption and limit cost savings 4
5 Background Value based payment programs continue to expand Healthcare organizations are consolidating to achieve efficiencies Healthcare technology is critical to measure and improve care 5
6 & NYU Langone IPA Over 400,000 attributed lives 2 billion in annual healthcare expenditures 3500 providers Approx. 75% of providers using our enterprise-wide EHR Value based arrangements with all major commercial and government funded insurers 6
7 & NYU Langone IPA Value Based Medicine Screening and Prevention Chronic Disease Management Appropriate Use Quality Cost Saving Bundled Payment Out of Network Spend Readmissions Reducing prescription drug costs Patient Satisfaction HCAHPS CGCAHPS 7
8 Can we use clinical decision support to guide clinicians to prescribe lower cost medications? 8
9 Prioritizing Therapeutic Classes to Target High per member per month (PMPM) med spend Alignment across plan formularies Little risk that a medication change will impact care Significant cost differential between high cost medication and alternative Strong evidence that therapeutic alternatives have similar efficacy Clinical leadership willing to support the initiative 9

46 Conclusions CDS interventions for promoting lower cost alternative medications are effective Alternative medications with same dose/frequency correlate with higher rates of alternative acceptance Patient preference greatly impacts acceptance rates - ease of dosing regimen Many external factors, misaligned incentives and complex relationships within the prescription drug market pose significant challenges to achieving maximum benefit 46
