The Tools 21
Savings Measurement 22
Issues in Savings Measurement Gainsharing presupposes existence of savings Pre/post trend is not sufficient Need to assess the counterfactual Gold standard: Rigorous comparison group Difficult/time-consuming Alternative: Comparison to statewide trend Can be done with claims data Precedent in Medicare & other shared savings arrangements Recommendations in CSHP report 23
Framework for Statewide Trend Comparison Key quantities Baseline & performance year per capita spending Statewide trend in Medicaid spending growth Benchmark spending = Baseline spending + statewide trend factor Performance year spending < benchmark spending ==> savings are established Important issues Risk adjustment Random variation Inflation adjustments 24

The Business Plan 26
The Business Planning Process Forces managers to think through financial and operational matters unfamiliar to most providers Promotes the concept of Value-Based Purchasing of health care services Movement away from volume (payments for clinic visits) And toward dhigher h payments for measurably higher quality care and healthier people p 27
The Business Planning Process Reduces nebulous concepts into metrics that can be reasonably forecasted (e.g. lives, revenue, etc.) Allows the responsible management of limited resources, which is a key to sustainability Brings the question of who is the customer? front and center Drives the shift to population management thinking 28
Population Management Thinking How can we manage the health of 30,000 people? What is the Total Cost of Care ( TOC )? What are member months and PMPMs? How do we forecast and measure e our return on investment ( ROI ) in the Care Coordination Team? How much care coordination can we afford? What is extensibility? 29
Population Management Business Thinking What model of care coordination will we adopt? What is the right mix of professionals in the care coordination team(s)? Who and what providers of care are already in the community, and how do we engage them? What care coordination resources do those providers already have? Are there PCMHs? 30
