IMPROVEMENT AT SCALE: Rapid system learning to narrow variation TIGHT LOOSE TIGHT Why, What by When System goals and Bundle Elements: Evidence-based practice Who & How Regional/ Local Tactics: putting theory into practice How we know Metrics reflecting bundle adherence and outcome improvement Facilitating Factors (Epic, Supplies, Communication, etc.)
Ambulatory Clinical Governance Structure Medical Group Executive Council Clinical Council Top Clinical Governance Group- CMOs and CNOs across system Sets System Clinical Strategy Operations Council Ambulatory Quality Council (AQC) Top Clinical Medical Group Governance Group- CMOs and Quality Leaders in medical groups Sets Ambulatory Quality Strategy Ambulatory Clinical Decision Team (CDT) Quality Leaders Meeting Focus on Sharing Best Practices to Improve Quality Outcomes Clinical Metric sub-group Specific Epic usability sub-groups Detailed groups working on Metric definitions and Epic design 7
Governance Structures Overall Governance Structures with representation from all regions- provides opportunity for input and engagement in decisions that should be done consistently across the organization Ambulatory Quality Council has over 70 members from all regions that come together to set the ambulatory strategy- clinical focus areas, metrics, etc. Challenges: - Multiple organizations with different historical cultures - Some new on the EMR Epic or planning to transition soon. - Different historical governance structures and work to integrate with these. 8

Metric Prioritization Process
Background: 2017 Advance Care Planning 2017 Ambulatory Quality Council Advance Care Planning Learning Metric The Percentage adult patients 65+ assigned to PCP with Advance Directive: Numerator: Healthy Planet patients with Advance Care Planning Documentation Advance Directive (AD) Living Will (LW) Power of Attorney (POA) 2017 AQC ACP Learning Metric Denominator: Healthy Planet: Active PCP/Care Team assigned patients 65 years and older in the Healthy Planet Adult Wellness Registry Data Source: Epic electronic medical record data in flow sheet and others from Doc Types in Scanned Documents Note: * AQC 8/3/17 Meeting: August 3, 2017 AQC Members Approved to Remove POLST From ACP Learning Metric
Quality Metrics Alignment Created a cross walk of the numerous (>400) clinical quality measures we report on for Medicare, Medicaid, Commercial, CMS and State oversight of clinical quality performance For our eligible clinicians participating in regular MIPS, these are the 26 clinical quality metrics that we are focusing on for the 2017 performance year. We will select 6 metrics for reporting Clinical Quality Measures listed by category: Metrics in Green: Core measures reported to the Board Metrics in Yellow: Included in MSSP and CPC+ programs Metrics in Grey: Selected areas not part of MSSP/CPC+ 14

2016-2017 Results More than 11,000 additional patients up to date on screening
Key Learnings Missional focus drives engagement Implementation builds on local structures Successful pathways are: Focused Aligned Integrated Sustained improvement takes time and focus
Swedish Pathways: The Future Bring more patient voice into pathway development Alignment of pathways across the continuum Balance between system (PSJH) and local pathways
Aligning Quality Performance Metrics in ACO and At Risk Contracts 36
OVER 600,000 PATIENTS IN VALUE BASED CONTRACTS Added PREMERA GOC MSSP to CPC+ PHP products drop
CHALLENGES Aligning organizational metrics with multiple contracts Large insurers have their own national metrics Coordinating quality contract requirements within a large organization Claims based results from insurers are delayed, not actionable Focus on total population vs. payer group VALUE BASED CARE - POPULATION HEALTH
COORDINATING WITH CONTRACTING Contracting sends new proposal for quality metric review Quality review makes alignment recommendations, may negotiate Contracting finalizes contract VALUE BASED CARE - POPULATION HEALTH
CONTRACT MANAGEMENT Accountable care services meets regularly with payers and key regional leaders Regions and Accountable care services respond to quality reports as appropriate. VALUE BASED CARE - POPULATION HEALTH
MACRA Quality Metrics Alignment Created a cross walk of the numerous (>400) clinical quality measures we report on for Medicare, Medicaid, Commercial, CMS and State oversight of clinical quality performance For our eligible clinicians participating in regular MIPS, these are the 26 clinical quality metrics that we are focusing on for the 2017 performance year. We will select 6 metrics for reporting Clinical Quality Measures listed by category: Metrics in Green: Core measures reported to the Board Metrics in Yellow: Included in MSSP and CPC+ programs Metrics in Grey: Selected areas not part of MSSP/CPC+
How are we reporting for Quality in MACRA? 1. MSSP TINS 2. CPC+ Practices Quality reporting will remain exactly the same, under the oversight of the Health Intelligence Team through the CMS Web Interface. We have successfully reported three years of MSSP data. The quality reporting requirements of the program will also satisfy this category. 3. MIPS - Non MSSP TINs/ CPC+ Practices The performance of the 2017 quality metrics will be monitored by the Ambulatory Quality Council, who will share performance and gap improvement with regions and select the 6 top performing metrics for all TINs that need to report in advance of the reporting period. Generally, reporting will occur much as it does today in that it will be delivered through the standard Epic and HI tools and will be accessed and used for internal reporting by other analytics groups within Providence (i.e. Physician Services, Clinical Analytics, GPS) The Ambulatory Quality Council with The Government Programs team will be responsible to ensure the submission of data to CMS through Epic, using the infrastructure in place for PQRS and Value Modifier reporting.
Quality Improvement Process and Timeline The Physician Services MACRA Quality Metrics Improvement Timeline shows the work that will be done through the end of 2017 in preparation for the 2018 reporting period.
