Future needs for cancer care
• 70% of cancer patients will be in Medicare in 2030
• (60% are Medicare now)• 30% shortfall in number of oncologists needed
to treat cancer patients• 30% cut in the conversion factors will put the
rest of community oncology at risk, and severely strain the hospital based clinics
Triple Aim
• Better health
• Better Healthcare
• Lower cost
CMS Demonstration Projects
• Since 1967 CMS has had the authority to create demonstration projects– Disease management and care coordination (6)
• Nurses are care managers
– Value based payment(4)
Medicare Demonstration Projects
• Integrated systems: Group practice demonstrations
• Value based purchasing (P4P)• Disease management• Utilization Review
Disease management
• CBO Jan 2012: “most programs have not reduced Medicare spending: In nearly every program involving disease management and care coordination, spending was either unchanged or increased relative to the spending that would have occurred in the absence of the program”
Medicare Group Practice Demonstration Project
• The 10 practices, chosen from 26 applicants, are:• Dartmouth-Hitchcock Clinic, Bedford, N.H. • Deaconess Billings Clinic, Billings, Mont. • The Everett Clinic, Everett, Wash. • Forsyth Medical Group, Winston-Salem, N.C. • Geisinger Health System, Danville, Pa.• Marshfield Clinic, Marshfield, Wis.• Middlesex Health System, Middletown, Conn. • Park Nicollet Health Services, St. Louis Park, Minn. • St. John's Health System, Springfield, Mo.• University of Michigan Faculty Group Practice, Ann Arbor
2 of the 10 saved some money
• In the first year, Marshfield saved the Medicare trust fund just more than $6 million, and the facility is set to receive roughly $4.5 million of that. Forsyth saved Medicare about $3.5 million and is in line for a roughly $2.8 million payout.
CBO on the P4P demonstration
• A detailed analysis of the demonstration is currently available only for the first two years. That analysis showed that, for patients in the 10 group practices during the second year, average Medicare spending excluding the bonuses paid to physician groups was about 1 percent below projections; with bonuses included, average Medicare spending was just 0.1 percent below projections—about $7 per beneficiary.
Value Based SystemsCBO comments 1/2012
• In one of the four demonstrations examined, Medicare made bundled payments that covered all hospital and physician services for heart bypass surgeries; Medicare’s spending for those services was reduced by about 10 percent under the demonstration. Other demonstrations of value-based payment appear to have produced little or no savings for Medicare.
My Theory
• Hospital based systems are not the answer:– Overpaid– Inefficiencies are built in– No incentive to decrease utilization
• Practices, if right sized and properly structured, can be very efficient ways to deliver cancer care– Big enough to attain economies of scale– Small enough to be managed

Chemotherapy costs by site of service (annualized)
• Physician fee schedule payments: $47,500• Hospital Outpatient Prospective Payment
System: $54,000
• Milliman Client Report Oct 19, 2011 by Fitch and Pyenson
MEDPAC March 2011
• When patients visit a physician office that is part of a hospital’s outpatient department, Medicare pays a facility fee to the hospital and a reduced fee for the physician’s services. The combined fees paid for visits to hospital-based practices are often more than 50 percent greater than rates paid to freestanding practices.
COA Practice Impact Report
CMMI Grant
• $19.8M• 7 practices• Significant savings from being an Oncology
Medical Home• Goal is to learn how to do bundled payments• Shared savings, but not gainsharing
COME HOME Model
1. Best Practices Care: Triage, Diagnostic & Therapeutic Pathways
3. Team-Based Care: Med/Rad Onc, Diag Radiology, NPs, RNs, LPNs, Pharmacists, Med Techs, Care Coordinators, first responders – working as team to keep patients in OP
setting and out of ER and hospital
4. Active Disease Management: Patient Education, patient/provider web portal
5. Enhanced Access: 24/7 Triage Line with “first responders” (8-6) and On-Call
Providers (6-8)
6. Enhanced Care: On- or near-site lab, imaging, pharmacy
7. Financial Support for Medical Home Services
2. Electronic Health Records – to share/track real-time patient information;
monitor quality
Oncology Patient
COME HOME Project Partners• Innovative Oncology Business Solutions (IOBS) – managing organization
formed for the purposes of administering project• Seven community oncology practices
– New Mexico Cancer Center– Center for Cancer & Blood Disorders (Ft. Worth)– Dayton Physician Network (OH)– Space Coast Oncology– Maine Center for Cancer Medicine– NW Georgia Oncology Centers– To be determined
• Net.Orange – HIT company creating customized quality & pathway performance dashboards using claims data and integrated EHRs
• KEW Group – integration of genetic markers into diagnostic and therapeutic pathways
• UTHSC – evaluation, cost, quality measurement expertise; using claims data for rapid-cycle feedback of cost/utilization performance
COME HOME: Targeted Patients
• Newly diagnosed or relapsed oncology patients• Seven tumor types will be put on Diagnostic/
Therapeutic Pathways:– Breast– Lung– Colorectal– Lymphoma– Melanoma– Pancreas– Thyroid
• Seeking care @ 1 of 7 participating sites

Community Oncology Medical HOME
• Medical home model of aggressive management of the side effects of cancer and its therapies
• Patient education• Triage• Same day visits• Prospective interventions
COME HOME: Services To Be Delivered
• Enhanced Services (Phase I)– Patient education & medication management– 24/7 practice access: telephone triage, triage
pathways, night/weekend clinic hours, on-call physicians
– On-site or near-site imaging, lab testing– Admitting physicians who shepherd pts through IP
encounters, avoiding handoffs & readmits, ensure seamless care
Pathways
• Diagnostic pathways, including genetic markers (Phase II)
• Therapeutic pathways, including genetic markers (Phase III)
• Decision support
Data Management is Key
• Extracting data from EHRs– All practices fully electronic– Outcomes will be documented
• Combining with Medicare Claims Data– Essential to know savings
• Real time (or close)– Able to drill down to monitor adherence
• Control groups

Bundled payments
• First one to get the money wins?• Transparency is essential• Need a quality pool• Need a mechanism to avoid the law of small
numbers• Need good data on costs and payments, real
time
Shared savings
• Not Gainsharing: I don’t want to compete against myself
• Pick a target with a reputation for quality • Need accurate claims data• NCCN systems defined as the patients treated
by an NCCN hospital
Questions?
• I appreciate the opportunity to present this project
• Thanks for listening
