CMS Roadmap Feedback

Feedback on the Year 2: Annual VBP Roadmap Update

4 August 25, 2016

 CMS response to the Roadmap was positive  The majority of comments were requests for further information  Additional questions focused on implementation details, which will be reviewed in conversation with CMS and may not result in Roadmap edits

Sample Roadmap Comments from CMS

5 August 25, 2016

Requests for Further Information Broader Policy Questions to Review

  • Page 11 of the Roadmap says that NYS has “prioritized the Maternity Bundle and the Chronic Bundle”.

What does the State mean by prioritizing these bundled care services?

  • Page 13 of the Roadmap references “significant trauma care costs”. Could the State elaborate on what it

means by “significant trauma care”?

  • Page 50 of the Roadmap mentions the development of Program Integrity workgroup – what will the

process be to appoint members?

  • How will quality be measured?
  • How did the State determine the stimulus adjustment amount?
  • What are the contract changes that will be implemented to incorporate VBP?
  • What aspects of the Roadmap have been implemented to date?

Starting Points for Selection of Quality Measures

Alignment with DSRIP (avoidable hospital use) Reduce ‘drowning’ in measures phenomenon: outcome measures have priority Measuring the quality of the total cycle of care of the VBP arrangement Relevance for patients and providers Alignment with Medicare: linking to point of care registration (EHR) Alignment with State Heath Innovation Plan’s Advanced Primary Care measure set Transparency of process, of measures, of outcomes

Criteria Used for Selecting Quality Measures

9

Clinical Relevance

  • Focused on key outcomes of

the total integrated care process rather than a single component of that care

  • Outcome measures are

preferred over process measures, but process measures remain crucial where outcome measures are not (yet) available

  • Reflects existing variability in

performance and/or possibility for improvement

Feasibility

  • Claims-based measures are

preferred over non-claims based measures (clinical data, surveys)

  • When clinical data or surveys

are desirable, existing sources should be available (e.g. statewide registries or standardized EHR extracts)

  • Prefer patient-level data
  • Data sources must be

available without significant delay

Validity & Reliability

  • Measure is well established by

reputable organization

  • Outcome measures are

adequately risk-adjusted

CAG members for each VBP arrangement assessed quality measures according to the following criteria:

Quality Measure Selection

The quality measure selection process began using the following sources:

  • Relevant DSRIP Domain 2 and 3 measures
  • Relevant NYS Quality Assurance Reporting Requirements (QARR) measure
  • Advanced Primary Care measure set (State Heath Innovation Plan – SHIP)
  • Relevant measures from CMS measure sets
  • National Quality Forum (NQF) measures
  • National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA)
  • CAG-specific sets (e.g. NYS AIDS Institute measures for HIV/AIDS CAG)

Key starting point: no reinventing of the wheel!

SLIDE 11

Categorizing and Prioritizing Quality Measures

August 25, 2016 11

CATEGORY 1 Approved quality measures that are felt to be both clinically relevant, reliable and valid, and feasible. CATEGORY 2 Measures that are clinically relevant, valid, and probably reliable, but where the feasibility could be problematic. These measures should be investigated during the 2016/2017 pilot program. CATEGORY 3 Measures that are insufficiently relevant, valid, reliable and/or feasible.

Quality Measures – Roadmap Language

“The Category 1 quality measures recommended by each CAG and accepted by the State are to be reported by the VBP contractors. The measures are also intended to be used to determine the amount of shared savings that VBP contractors are eligible for … “ 1 CAG recommends measure categories State accepts or re-categorizes measures VBP Contractors report on measures

These proposals are presented in the following slides for Workgroup comment

The Maternity CAG met over three sessions to discuss the key areas listed below:

slide-16
SLIDE 16

Maternity Arrangement Definition: CAG Recommendation

1. A qualifying trigger code is a ICD-9/CPT/HCPCS code which, when implicated, will automatically create the maternity bundle. See Appendix 1 (regarding a list of the HCI3 PREGN, CSECT, and VAGDEL ICD-9/CPT/HCPCS qualifying trigger codes). http://www.hci3.org/ecr_descriptions/ecr_description.php?version=5.2.005&name=VAGDEL&submit=Submit 2. The HCI3 data is for the period between January 1, 2012 through December 31, 2013.

16 8 August 25, 2016

Consistent with the CAG recommendations, the State recommends the following bundle definition for the Maternity VBP arrangement.

  • Pregnancy Care: Includes all services associated with pregnancy care, such as pre-natal care and visits, lab tests,

medication, ultrasound, etc.

  • Delivery & Post Partum Care: Includes all services associated with the delivery, whether vaginal or C-section, up to

60 days post-discharge. Services such as facility costs, professional services, and any associated complications for mother and child are included.

  • Newborn Care: Includes all services associated with the newborn’s care up to 30 days post-discharge.
  • Includes all pregnant females, between 12 years and 65 years old, with a qualifying trigger code.
  • Qualifying trigger code includes vaginal delivery or C-section delivery.

Quality Measures: Data Dictionary

August 25, 2016 Field Description Acceptable Values Reporting Source

Entity responsible for the reporting of required data State (claims-based measures) VBP Contractor (e.g. clinical measures)

State Recommended Category

The Category in which the State proposes to classify the measure. 1 (Must be Reported) 2 (Optional) 3 (Not Recommended)

Pay for Reporting (P4R)

The State recommends to reward the VBP contractor’s reporting of this measure rather than the VBP contractor’s performance Yes – reporting is key first step towards improved quality measurement No – measure can be used to compare performance

Program Integrity Workgroup: Policy Questions

Encounter Data Submission Fraud, Waste, and Abuse Policy Question How does New York State ensure that quality and encounter data is timely, accurate, and complete upon submission? How does VBP impact the role of the OMIG, DOH and other interested parties with regard to fraud, waste and abuse? 1 2 Topic VBP Policy Design 3 What safeguards should be enacted related to access and quality of care to ensure that the transition to VBP does not create incentives that are not in the spirit of the program? 30 August 25, 2016

slide-31
SLIDE 31

Patient Confidentiality Workgroup: Policy Questions

RHIO and SHIN-NY Data Care Management Policy Question How does New York State address NYS patient confidentiality laws and minor consent laws that limit provider-to-provider access in order to ensure the RHIO and SHIN-NY are complete? How does NYS clarify the application of State Confidentiality laws to Care Management Organizations, which may neither be covered entities nor providers, but still have a need to access patient information in order to coordinate care? 1 2 Topic Vital Statistics (VS) 3 Will NYS create an exception process by which Vital Statistics data can be accessed in order to supplement certain medical records and support VBP? Medicaid Consent How can New York State clarify the scope of the Medicaid Consent Form to providers, in order to minimize delays in data reporting? 4 DSRIP Opt-Out and DEAA Processes How can NYS create exceptions or clarify policy, so upstream or non-State provided data can easily be transmitted for purposes of VBP? 5 31 August 25, 2016
