Science - Committee on Health Care in America
- 1998 formation of committee
- Charge Develop a strategy that will result
in a substantial improvement in the quality of
health care in America over the next 10 years - 2001 Publication of Crossing the Quality Chasm
5- Crossing the Quality Chasm
- Radical redesign of the system needed
- 6 aims
- Safety
- Timeliness
- Efficiency
- Effective
- Equitable
- Patient centered collaborative care
6- In its current forms, habits and
environments, the American health care system is
incapable of providing the public with the
quality health care it expects and deserves.
7- It is not that providers lack dedication or
compassion - The system is perfectly designed to give
the results it does.
8What Is An IMP?
- low overhead and the smallest functional unit
for delivering care - leverages technology to maximize efficiency,
continuity, collaborative care and access - must give patient centered measures and feedback
to all - Need not be solo
- not concierge usually
- may not work in dead zones
9- IMP is
- A way of practicing
- providing the patient a superb experience of
care - In a vital and sustainable environment for the doc
10- Began as an experiment using technology to
leverage overhead to provide more breathing
room - Progressed to a National Collaborative project
that began in 2006 funded by the Physicians
Foundation for Health Excellence and the
Commonwealth Fund

12- Redesign a practice to incorporate principles of
microsystem work- - to be patient centered
- to have superb flow of processes
- To revitalize practice
13TOOLS
- Low overhead
- EMR
- Access
- Continuity

15WHY PHYSICIANS CHOOSE MICROPRACTICE
- --Physician satisfaction
- Absolute autonomy
- Zero practice inertia
- No practice administrators
- SATISFACTION WITH QUALITY OF PATIENT-PHYSICIAN
INTERACTION -
16WHY PATIENTS CHOOSE MICROPRACTICES
- -Patient satisfaction
- -Patients have time to tell their stories
- -Smaller panels,
- Patients feel they are not just a number
- -Patients and physicians have time for
collaborative decision making - -Patients enjoy highly efficient office design

18- Micropractices value lie in addressing the
languishing physician-patient relationships
inherent in the time limited schedules of primary
care today - Even if you do not want to run your own
micropractice, there are many tools that
micropractices use that can help you with your
practice
19- One thing we have been studying are the core
attributes of practice that make a difference in
outcomes that are meaningful to patients.  (A1c,
while all well and good is not a patient outcome
- more like "I ended up in the ED or hospital" or
"My meds make me sick" or "My life is miserable
'cause I can't do stuff I enjoy.")There are key
practice behaviors and attributes that make
immense difference to patients and
outcomesAccessContinuityEfficiencyPatient-cen
tered careCare coordinationWe do most of this
(we have room to improve on some of the
patient-centered components and lots of work to
do in care coordination). We get phenomenal
results on our patient reported measures because
of how we've set up practice.What we can teach
other docs is how to deliver superb care in any
practice. Another physician may want to do it in
a large group (if they get support) or may want
to go solo. I don't think we want to try to sell
docs on going solo but to use our stories to tell
how we moved a lot closer to "superb care."Â
Taking that approach means the discussion applies
to all practices - any practice could do this (if
the leadership lets them).
20- Summary of the way we work
- Low overhead begets breathing room
- Breathing room begets enhanced patient
relationships and physician satisfaction - Patient relationship helps Measurement
- and measurement is feedback
- which helps beget improved outcomes
