B. Participation Requested - NCQA Public Comment on Patient Experiences
The National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) requests your input to help us identify topics appropriate for evaluating the “patient experience” component of patient-centered medical home (PCMH) physician practices. This input will be reviewed with technical experts and considered as NCQA moves forward with revisions to related standards for 2011.
Your input is important because current methods for qualifying practices as a PCMH evaluate structures and processes. There is good evidence that these characteristics lead to improvements in quality of care and to lower costs. To build on this, NCQA is engaged in an effort to identify feasible and sustainable approaches for evaluating practices on the results of patient experiences.
Please follow the brief instructions on the top of the survey —linked here - and return by Tuesday, March 9. Thank you very much for helping us to develop appropriate evaluation practices for the evolving field of PCMH.
C. NASHP Publication - 'State Multi-Payer Medical Home Intiatives and Medicare's Advanced Primary Care Demonstration'
In September 2009, the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services announced that Medicare will join selected state-based, multi-payer medical home initiatives in an Advanced Primary Care (APC) Demonstration. States have welcomed this announcement, viewing Medicare as a valuable potential strategic stakeholder. Yet they are concerned that the proposed APC criteria may be too narrow to fit many current initiatives. This State Health Policy Briefing builds from a December 2009 research scan and webcast that examines a broad range of state multi-payer initiatives and compares some of these criteria against the proposed APC criteria. It will inform those planning multi-payer initiatives about approaches that are now being used by leading states, as well as areas that will likely be of interest to the federal government.

E. New Article from the Annals of Internal Medicine - Lessons That Patient-Centered Medical Homes Can Learn From the Mistakes of HMOs
Patient-centered medical homes (PCMHs) have been endorsed by primary and specialty care medical associations, payers, and patient groups as an innovative structure for transforming health care delivery. The cornerstone principle of the PCMH is the primary care physician's coordination of a patient's use of health care services, including visits to specialists, to improve effectiveness and efficiency. This principle aligns with the vision behind the creation of HMOs, managed care organizations that were once embraced by physicians, patients, and policy analysts but have since lost much of their luster. Many patients and physicians rejected HMOs as too restrictive, objecting particularly to the concept of gatekeeping. This article reviews the HMO experience and identifies lessons applicable to PCMHs that build on the strengths of HMOs while avoiding their mistakes. To read the full article, please click here.
F. Newsweek Article on Issue of Primary Care Physician Shortage
Following President Obama's Health Care Summit held at the Blair House in Washington D.C., Newsweek printed an article addressing the growing concern over primary care physician shortages int he country. 'After taking a month to regroup, the White House has put health care back at the top of its agenda, asking Republicans for new ideas and trying to regain momentum for old ones. But last week's summit came down mostly to the same old talking points. And even if the president does manage to get some version of health-insurance reform passed in the next few months, he and the country are still going to be dealing with the related crisis of America's doctor shortage. Primary-care physicians, family docs, general practitioners—whatever you call them, they're the country's first line of defense, the ones responsible for promoting preventive care, finding ways to keep people from getting sick in the first place, and thus bringing down costs throughout the system. If every American went to one of these doctors regularly, health-care costs might come down as much as 5.6 percent a year, saving $67 billion, according to one estimate. Yet we don't have nearly enough doctors to make that happen, and fewer are being produced every year.' The full article can be found here.

H. ONC Announces Proposed Rule for Certifying EHRs
The Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology announced Tuesday the proposed rule for certifying EHRs. The rule addresses how electronic medical records (EHRs) and EHR modules move through the testing and certification process. Entities that want to test and certify EHRs must be accredited by ONC. A temporary certification phase will allow EHRs to be certified by Oct. 1, 2010--in time for providers to start applying for 2011 stimulus funds.To learn more, please click here.
I. MDdatacor Announces New Health Plan Contract to Facilitate Medical Home Program; Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas City Launching 2-Year Medical Home Initiative
MDdatacor, Inc., a leader in health care quality management solutions for insurers and health care providers, today announced a new contract with Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas City (Blue KC) to provide the technology that will support the medical home program. Blue KC invited internal medicine, family practice and pediatricians in their networks to participate in a two-year medical home initiative, intended to enhance patient care, help maintain or reduce health care costs and to improve physicians' job satisfaction. The program was scheduled to begin in January 2010. During the initiative, primary care physicians use MDdatacor's MDinsight® system to identify opportunities for additional patient care and ensure patients are treated according to best practices as outlined in clinical guidelines. The MDinsight system extrapolates clinical data from a physician's records and analyzes it against evidence-based guidelines to help physicians identify care opportunities among their patients. Care opportunities alert physicians about patients in need of medical tests or follow-up visits for chronic conditions such as diabetes or for preventive care like cancer screenings. The system is unique in that it can also identify patients with test values that are high, such as showing a physician a list of all diabetic patients whose last A1c blood sugar test was above the recommended guidelines.

N. Utah and Idaho Receive Federal Grant to Improve Children's Medical Care
Utah and Idaho state health departments have received a $10.3 million federal grant to better coordinate care of chronically sick children enrolled in public health insurance plans. The money, spread out over five years, will help staff at pediatric and specialists' offices create a "medical home" for children who are enrolled in Medicaid or the Children's Health Insurance Program who have conditions like asthma, diabetes, congenital heart disease or cancer.
Those children often see several specialists who may not collaborate on care. With a "medical home," a coordinator will ensure all providers are on the same page.
The grant will also boost the use of electronic medical records among those providers.
It is unknown how many children will benefit from the grant; the money will help identify them. It was awarded to the Utah Department of Health and the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare. Nine other grants were also awarded.
O. New Learning Collaborative to Prepare Clinicians for Better Chronic Care
HealthSciences Institute will sponsor a new learning collaborative for health care professionals, teams and organizations who serve individuals at risk of, or affected by, chronic diseases in employer, health plan, medical home and other provider settings.
The collaborative will offer free, noncommercial webinars on topics, solutions and case studies in chronic disease prevention, management and care improvement. Each webinar will include a brief presentation, ask-the-expert segment, and targeted discussion on the application of new learning to participant job roles. Discussion will continue online between sessions.
The collaborative is a component of a new HealthSciences Institute-sponsored Partners in Improvement initiative that will offer free online chronic care improvement resources and tools to health care organizations and professionals.
“Nurses and other professionals who serve at-risk individuals—in settings from health plans to medical homes—want affordable, noncommercial learning activities that prepare them for the real-world challenges of chronic care. They also understand that some of the most valuable lessons are learned through collaboration and problem-solving with peers,” cites Blake Andersen, PhD, President and CEO of HealthSciences Institute.

R. Indiana, North Carolina host Medicare quality demos - Physicians and health systems in the two states will share savings from coordinating care and developing medical homes.
American Medical News - The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services on Jan. 27 announced two new Medicare demonstrations that provide incentives for physicians and others to improve the quality of care for Medicare beneficiaries while reducing costs.
One of the programs, in Indiana, is in partnership with the Indiana Health Information Exchange, which was formed in 2004 to promote the efficient exchange of medical records among doctors and hospitals. Under the new demonstration, IHIE will use Medicare data to give participating physicians the information necessary to lower costs and boost quality.
The project, which involves a coalition of roughly 800 physicians, also will examine the impact of quality measures reporting and pay-for-performance.
"Under the current health care system, patient data is often inconsistent and housed in different systems, making it less useful to physicians," said CMS Acting Administrator Charlene Frizzera. The IHIE project will work to combine fragmented data and standardize quality reporting and pay, she said.
In North Carolina, a new demonstration will extend the medical-home concept to low-income Medicare beneficiaries through a partnership with the North Carolina Community Care Networks. The organization consists of eight regional health care networks that combine care coordination and health information technology to manage care more effectively.
The networks, consisting of community physicians, hospitals, health departments and others, will provide medical homes for beneficiaries who are eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid. Each network has clinical care coordinators who will work with practices on medical-home plans for their patients.
Both demonstrations are set up to allow the organizations to share in a portion of Medicare savings once care quality and efficiency objectives are met, CMS said.
S. Data Niche Drug Rebate Conference, March 10-12, 2010, San Antonio, TX
In 1995 Data Niche began sponsoring Medicaid rebate conferences. The primary purpose was to provide a forum in which all parties involved in the Medicaid rebate program could meet and collectively attempt to clear up rebate disputes and arrive at mutually acceptable solutions. Then in 1999, they expanded the agenda to include privately sponsored managed care rebate programs. This addition allowed for the exchange of ideas between personnel involved in fee-for-service Medicaid rebate programs with privately sponsored managed care rebate programs. The formal portion of the program includes a keynote speech by a nationally well known speaker, followed by presentations from experts in various aspects of the Medicaid rebate program and managed care industry. In addition, about three or four state agency speakers are invited to showcase their state's Medicaid program and exchange ideas with the audience. Panel discussions are also included which cover controversial subjects to help uncover issues and seek a fair, logical solution. The conferences provide ample opportunities for informal interactions among all participants while meeting face-to-face with colleagues during coffee breaks, lunch breaks, and our special evening event. The friendly, relaxed, environment promotes goodwill and cooperation among all participants. Executive Director of the PCPCC, Edwina Rogers, will be presenting on March 12th, regarding the PCMH.
