Observations on current efforts
to provide quality
serious illness care

Objective
Observations culled from…
• Multiple CHCF initiatives related to community-based PC
– Payer-provider partnerships
– Expanding access to PC in safety net systems
– Expanding access to PC in rural areas
– SB1004 implementation support
• GBM assignment
– Identification of 100 serious illness programs
– 14 case profiles
• Mr. B
Share observations about the current state of serious
illness care, to inform improvement efforts

Patient population for GBM work
• Poor prognosis and are likely in the last stage
of life (which could last for years)
• Experience functional impairment
• At risk for cycling in and out of the hospital in
absence of additional supports

3. Variation abounds (which might be OK)
• Eligible/target patients
• Strategies for identifying patient population
• Scope of service
• Care settings
• When engage, frequency of contact, length of service
• Staffing (which disciplines) and staffing ratios
• Training requirements
• Use of lay staff and volunteers
• Degree of integration with primary / specialty services
(referring providers)
• Metrics
• Payment models and payment amount
• Number of customers

System-based programs cross settings
and service lines
AllinaHealth Abbott Northwestern Hospital – Minneapolis
Full array of primary and specialty services, home health and case
management plus …
• specialty palliative care available in multiple settings
• embedded specialty geriatric care in transitional care units, nursing
homes and assisted living communities
• medical home for individuals with complex conditions
• advance care planning classes offered at multiple clinics
• lay navigator program (LifeCourse)
• hospice care
Variation across markets, campuses within markets, and
accessibility depending on disease, age, insurance

Multi-organization efforts are common
• Funding, plus support from Clinical Analytics, Case
Managers, Social Workers, pt transportation costsHPSJ
• Primary and specialty care, plus inpatient and clinic-based
palliative care
San Joaquin General

• Home-based palliative care, with ability to transition to
hospice as appropriate

6. Rural programs have distinct challenges
• Distance / geography
• Less than optimal voice / data connectivity
• Opioid epidemic / other substance abuse
• Poverty
• Older, isolated population
• Few available providers

Total travel time between visit 1-2
and visit 2-3 = 4 minutes
Implications for ….
• Clinical model / scope
• Staffing-training /
partnerships
• Caseload
• Cost of care, potential impact

7. Multiple funding options … but not universally available
• Support from parent organization (quality/operational
value, loss leader, mission)
• Traditional FFS billings
• Hospice benefit
• Health plan contracts (multiple business lines)
• Serve MA/ MA SNP / Medicaid Managed Care population
• Serve ACO population (Medicare and commercial)
• Serve global/full capitation population (PACE)
• CMS demonstrations/Innovation programs: IAH, Oncology
Care Model / ESRD Care Model, CCTP, MCCM, CPC+

8. Funding doesn’t solve all problems
• Workforce
– “It has been difficult to achieve rapid scale of our model
and ramp up services to cover a larger geography.
Workforce shortages and competition in the market for
talented palliative care providers continues to be a
challenge.”
• Rescue and repair
– “About 90% of patients referred to Transitions do not know
that their diseases are terminal.”
• Willing referring providers
– “Let’s see what the cath results are and if there is nothing
more we can do then I’ll refer to palliative care”
• Willing patients
– Must be … open to more support, open to strangers in the
home, able to get to clinic, can afford co-pays, etc.

Dying in America: Improving Quality and Honoring
Individual Preferences Near the End of Life
IOM (Institute of Medicine). 2014. Dying in America: Improving quality
and honoring individual preferences near the end of life. Washington,
DC: The National Academies Press.
Turns out they were on to something …
Five improvement /focus areas
1. Delivery of person-centered, family-
oriented EOL care
2. Clinician-patient communication and
ACP
3. Professional education and
development
4. Policies and payment systems
5. Public education and engagement
42.
Food for thought
1. Many types of providers / sponsors … consider getting input from all
2. Range of patient and family needs/preferences requires a suite of
interventions … not just one thing, and often not just one
organization
3. There are particular challenges when delivering care in the safety-
net and to rural populations; these may impact staffing and training,
care model, program costs, expected impact, and more
4. Some success with existing funding options, but program scope and
design often limited by what gets paid for
5. Consider focus on integration / coordination / education as
solutions to workforce issues, and to promote buy-in from patients
and providers
6. While there are many challenges, there are also are many promising
programs and practices operating currently (it’s probably okay to be
a little optimistic)
