….differ on whether health care providers should initiate a discussion about PSA testing with all men in the appropriate age range and risk category or only discuss screening if the patient initiates the discussion.
Slide 4
58 comments total
47 through online survey 11 through email
25 submitted by self-identified patients
“Yes: the breadth of clinical opinion internationally, accurately captured in the Work Group's thorough research, should be a component of the shared decision making model, so that patients are fully informed.” “Early detection is fundamental for best treatment outcomes. Continue more PSA testing.” “Everyone is different. But a biopsy won't kill you.” “I'm concerned patients will be denied testing (and/or doctors sanctioned for doing it). Not a few of the patients I see are high risk and don't know it.” “The best means of limiting harm is to tackle the issue of
the ability of patients to have access to screening.”
Slide 5
Add overdiagnosis to executive summary and clearer language that shared decision making is a process not a document. Add “Although the cost of the PSA test itself is low, the potential for downstream complications due to follow-up tests and potentially unnecessary treatment is high.” “associated with” changed to “can cause” Add “Not included in the “Not Screened” figure are the men who would be diagnosed with prostate cancer without the PSA test.” Add “The workgroup also discussed the psychological benefit of a negative PSA test to reassure patients of health status. However, the inaccuracy of the PSA test and the psychological harms from a false positive PSA test must also be taken into consideration.”
Slide 6
Add “The Bree Collaborative acknowledges the importance of the physician-patient relationship and the importance of physicians meeting individual patient needs.” Edited language to read “If patient decision aids are used to assist in the discussion, aids should strive to be those certified by Washington State when available. Patient decision aids should not be used alone without a comprehensive, patient-centered discussion.” To Employers add “Do not include PSA testing for prostate cancer screening in employee health fairs or incentivize PSA testing in a wellness program (e.g., granting points towards a reduction in deductible for those self-reporting a PSA test).”
Slide 7
Stakeholder Recommendations
Primary Care (and others who screen for prostate cancer)
The Bree Collaborative recommends against routine screening with PSA testing for men:
At average risk 70 years and older, At average risk under 55 years old, Who have significant co-morbid conditions, or with a life expectancy less than 10 years.
The Bree Collaborative acknowledges the importance of the physician- patient relationship and the importance of physicians meeting individual patient needs. Primary care clinicians should review evidence regarding PSA testing for prostate cancer screening. The shared decision making process should be formalized and documented in the patient’s medical record. If patient decision aids are used to assist in the discussion, aids should strive to be those certified by Washington State when available. Patient decision aids should not be used alone without a comprehensive, patient-centered
pathways depending on the physician’s interpretation of the evidence:
Clinicians who believe there is overall benefit from screening with PSA testing should engage in a formal and documented shared decision-making process prior to ordering this test for average risk men between 55-69 years old. Clinicians who believe there is overall harm from screening with PSA testing should not initiate testing but should engage average-risk men aged 55-69 in a formal and documented shared decision making process prior to testing if the patient requests a PSA test. Only men who express a definite preference for screening after discussing the advantages, disadvantages, and scientific uncertainty should have screening with PSA testing.
Slide 8
Stakeholder Recommendations
Primary Care (and others who screen for prostate cancer)
Men who are at higher risk of prostate cancer because of African American descent, a family history or first degree male relative diagnosed with prostate cancer prior to age 65, Agent Orange exposure, or having a known or suspected familial genetic predisposition to breast, ovarian cancer, or prostate cancer (e.g. BRCA1, BRCA2) should be given the opportunity to discuss the harms, benefits, and scientific uncertainty about PSA testing using a formal and documented shared decision-making process including conversations about increased risk. This conversation can begin earlier than age 55. Only men who express a definite preference for screening should have PSA testing. Medical facilities should train clinicians on the shared decision- making process, make available patient decision aids, and allow for tracking of the shared decision-making process within the patient’s medical record.
Slide 9
Stakeholder Recommendations Others
Hospitals
Support communication and education of patients that accurately reflects the most recent medical knowledge on PSA testing for prostate cancer screening. Encourage discussions between clinicians and patients about the potential harms, benefits, and conflicting evidence for PSA testing for prostate cancer screening. Only men who express a definite preference for screening should have PSA testing.
Health Plans
Reimburse clinicians for engaging patients in a formal and documented shared decision-making process (using a Washington State-approved patient decision aid when available) about prostate specific antigen testing for prostate cancer screening.
Employers/Health Care Purchasers
Contract with health plans that reimburse clinicians for engaging patients in a formal and documented shared decision-making process (using a Washington State-approved patient decision aid when available) about prostate specific antigen testing for prostate cancer screening. Do not include PSA testing for prostate cancer screening in employee health fairs
reduction in deductible for those self-reporting a PSA test).
Washington State Health Care Authority
Prioritize certification of a PSA testing for prostate cancer screening patient decision aid. Include use of the shared decision making process in contractual requirements (e.g., in Accountable Care Organization contracts).

Advanced Imaging Barriers v Countermeasures
Slide 4
Barriers Countermeasures Patient
Wanting to receive advanced imaging for low-risk disease Evidence-informed decision-making process including discussion about harms and benefits
Clinician
Being unaware of the guidelines Education through organizational partners Believing guidelines are not evidence-based
Education on research base; sharing patient stories; sharing site and clinician-specific data on advanced imaging use relative to other oncology care centers Uncertainty about staging and what constitutes cancer at low risk for metastasis Education Decision support tools at point of care Concern about legal repercussions Additional legal protections granted through use of a Washington State-certified patient decision aid Being uncomfortable providing what feels like less care Education, connection with peers
Institutional
Care team or organization protocols conflict with the guidelines Leadership engagement with recommendations Reimbursement incentivizes overuse of imaging Compensation model reform (e.g., bundled payment,
inappropriate advanced imaging or self-referred advanced imaging)

Barriers Countermeasures Patient and Clinician
Perception of palliative care as end-of- life care or as “giving up” Use of term supportive care rather than palliative care Education about definition and scope of palliative care services (e.g., to relieve pain, to connect patients with supports)
Clinician
Concern that palliative care referral would alarm patients and families Shared decision making tools Patient education Uncertainty of when to initiate palliative care Clear referral pathways and protocols (e.g., green flags such as initiation of palliative care for patients with stage IV melanoma)19 Relationship-building between oncology and palliative care centers or palliative care skills building within oncology practice Multidisciplinary care team Uncertainty of who to refer to palliative care Implementation of valid and reliable screening tools showing individualized palliative care need (e.g., distress screening) Concern that pain will not be properly treated outside of active care Education of proper pain management at all stages of care

Bariatric Surgery Bundled Payment Model
Focus:
Build off previous bundled payment models Best practices for bariatric surgery including outcome metrics
In Washington State, 2168 bariatric surgery cases (CHARS data 2013)
Maximum # in hospital = 416 (only 6 hospitals >100 cases annually)
Health Technology Assessment Program: Bariatric Surgery for patients aged 18 and older is a covered benefit with conditions SCOAP bariatric surgery data National work
Slide 10
Bariatric Surgery Bundled Payment Model Implementation Likelihood = MEDIUM Potential for Harm Reduction = MEDIUM Degree of Bree fit = HIGHEST Likelihood of reducing costs =HIGHEST (tie) Data = YES
Slide 11
Focus:
Identify best practice elements of depression screening within primary care Mental health integration
Lifetime prevalence of 23% Low rates of depression screening Many comorbidities Opportunity to align with Healthier Washington Could be part of ongoing behavioral health integration workgroup
Slide 12
Depression Screening
Implementation Likelihood = LOW Potential for Harm Reduction = HIGHEST Degree of Bree fit = MEDIUM Likelihood of reducing costs = MEDIUM Data = NONE
Slide 13
Mental Health Integration
Core part of Healthier Washington Different levels of integration across the state Untreated anxiety and depression associated with many comorbidities Good guidelines as to how to integrate nationally and within our state (e.g., AIMS center)
Slide 14
Mental Health Integration
Too close to Depression Screening Implementation Likelihood = LOW Potential for Harm Reduction = MEDIUM Degree of Bree fit = MEDIUM Likelihood of reducing costs = MEDIUM Data = DIFFICULT BUT POSSIBLE
Slide 15
Diabetes Care Bundled Payment Model
Focus:
Build off previous bundled payment models Best practices for year of diabetes care including outcome metrics
9% of Washingtonians have diabetes “The greatest opportunity to reduce avoidable complications and generate savings is with chronic medical condition bundles, and not procedure bundles.” Many comorbid conditions Many examples of best practices and implementation of those practices Core Measure Set Large body of patient decision aids

Slide 17
Health Services Coordination
Focus:
Identify common elements of best practice health care coordination that can be applied to multiple diagnoses (e.g., falls)
Care fragmentation leads to poor outcomes and is very underutilized Lack of coordination is high cost Many organizations have done work in this area Work with Accountable Communities of Health
Slide 18
Health Services Coordination
Needs better definition Implementation Likelihood = LOW Potential for Harm Reduction = HIGHEST Degree of Bree fit = MEDIUM Likelihood of reducing costs = MEDIUM Data = NONE
Slide 19
Hysterectomy
Focus:
Standardize indications and adherence to indications for hysterectomy
One of most frequently performed surgical procedures in nation Side effects from surgery include excessive bleeding, anesthesia complications, incontinence, bowel dysfunction, sexual dysfunction Washington Health Alliance has seen wide variations in number of hysterectomies Patient decision aids exist
Slide 20
Hysterectomy
Implementation Likelihood = HIGHEST Potential for Harm Reduction = MEDIUM Degree of Bree fit = HIGH Likelihood of reducing costs = HIGH Data = YES (highest rated)
