APPLICATION TO THE MODEL
Applicants W Will Rece ceive Data i in Advance
- CMS will provide preliminary target prices to applicants in May 2018
- Applicants who submit a Data Request and Attestation form
- Three years of aggregate (summary) and/or raw (beneficiary line-
level) Historical Claims data for the Medicare beneficiaries who would have been included in a Clinical Episode and attributed to the applicant
- Convener appl
pplicants receive target prices for all of their episode initiators (EIs)
- No
Non-convener appl pplicants receive their own target prices
21
Clinical Ep Episode S Select ction
- Participants will enter into an agreement with CMS
- May be renewed annually
- Commits to selected Clinical Episodes until the start of the
following Agreement Term
- Episode selections must be submitted to CMS by August 1,
1, 2018 2018
22
Considerati tions f for P Parti ticipation
- Are there other potential Participants for the same
Clinical Episode at the same ACH?
- Are there clear opportunities for improvement within
the model?
- Can operational investments be spread across
multiple clinical episodes?
- Can Participants safely assume financial risk?
- Does it make sense to work with a Convener?
- Would Participants qualify for incentive payments as a
Qualifying APM Participant in the Quality Payment Program?

PARTIC ICIP IPATIO ION I IN THE M E MOD ODEL EL
Exam ample S Strategy: y: Data T Transpar arency
- Utilize care management software to share data between
hospital and PAC providers; include physician, hospital, and regional-level data.
- Create patient dashboards with real-time data that physicians
and partners can easily access.
- Utilize a data analytic tool to help staff identify patients needing
additional care during their SNF stay.
25
Example S Str trategy: Uti tilize a a Risk k Asse Assessment T Tool
- Incorporate a readmission prediction tool into your electronic
health record (EHR) for both high and middle risk patients.
- Use a tool, which includes a section for identifying patient
risk for readmission, in tandem with "At-Risk" meetings.
- Use a tool, which includes care pathways and “change in
condition” tools, to manage care and prevent readmissions.
- Use an index scoring tool for risk assessment of death and
readmission.
- Use an analysis platform, which assists with risk assessment and
discharge planning decisions.
26
Exampl ple S Strategy: Redes edesign Car Care e Pa Pathway ays
- Update and simplify patient forms/checklists to ease pre-
screening and post-acute care transfer. Support consistent use by all providers.
- Provide telephone number/toll-free hotline for patients to call
with questions or concerns post-discharge to reduce readmissions.
- Modify clinical pathways to incorporate therapy interventions.
27
Exampl ple S Strategy: Cr Crea eate o e or H Hire K e Key Staf affing P Positions
- Create or hire positions:
- Inpatient care coordinator (ICC) to help determine the next
site of care.
- Skilled inpatient care coordinator (SICC) to focus on
reducing SNF length of stay and readmissions.
- Create or hire “SNFist” position for PCPs working entirely
within SNFs specializing in PAC and/or geriatrics.
- Use regional care nurse navigators or transitional care
managers to engage patients throughout the episode and to build relationships with community partners.
- Create or hire a non-clinical data analyst for BPCI.
28
Ex Example Strategy: I Incr crease P Patient and Pr Provider E Educa cation
- Designate a physician champion, either for a particular clinical
episode or for all BPCI patients.
- Initiate a pilot program to determine which patients qualify for a
home health aide (HHA). Offer the patients targeted information to support their acceptance of an HHA referral.
- Invite family members or caregivers to participate in therapy
sessions.
29
Example e Strateg egy: I Improve e Coordination with P PAC P Provi viders
- Develop preferred provider networks.
- Meet weekly with SNF/HHA staff.
- Use care management software/data platform that promotes
information transfer and helps coordinate care between hospital and PAC providers.
30
Example Str trategy: I Innovati tive U Use of f Technol
- logy
- gy
- Provide a telemonitoring device post discharge to high-risk
patients for education and communication.
- Provide access to a smartphone app for physicians to view
patient and quality data.
- Create a video library for patients and families, with a computer
available in the facility for families to do research.

Ex Exiting t the Model
43
Participants not working with a convener may terminate from the model at any time in accordance with the participation agreement. Physician group practices and hospitals working with a convener may terminate from the model at any time, but the convener remains responsible for the clinical episodes until the next agreement period, or until they wholly terminate their participation in the model

As As a Model T Test, , Future R Revisions Are L e Likel ely
- As an entirely new model, some features may work well, while others may
need improvements
- Evaluation results and stakeholder feedback is critical
- In the future, the Innovation Center may:
- Revise design features
- Add Clinical Episodes
- Add performance measure options
