5. The problem
Some facts:
Healthcare spend will crowd out
all spending other than defence
If city’s and towns were to report
their financials for healthcare
commitments, most would be
BANKRUPT!!!
Millions of uninsured (~48 million Americans)
Increasing premium amounts
Sick people are being excluded / health care cost was capped
Patients with pre-existing conditions were denied insurance or had to pay heft
premiums
Payments revolved around ‘Fee for Service’ and performance is not tracked
Healthcare is
TERMINALLY ILL!!!!
6. Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act
(Obamacare)
Health coverage for larger population
Continues long term care with no cap
Patients with pre-existing conditions get insurance
at the same premium
Medicaid Expansion with in states to accommodate
lower income groups
Healthcare Exchange for buying insurance
Individual Mandates requiring everyone to get
insurance
Medicare Shared Saving Program to improve care
coordination and performance
Obamacare bill is
20,000 pages long
Would be over 7 feet
tall if we stacked them
7. Accountable Care Organization (ACO)
Population Health Management
Patients
ACO must define processes to promote evidence‐based medicine and patient
engagement, monitor and evaluate quality and cost measures, meet patient‐
centeredness criteria and coordinate care.
