Health Reform is happening at the local level even more rapidly than the
federal rules can be launched. Integration of various aspects of health
care is occurring in this respect: with single specialty initiatives
like Geisinger's program that bundles payments based upon severity, to
larger efforts by Dean Health System and Baylor health system to offer a
system-wide Accountable Care Organization model for their delivery
system, to compete and differentiate themselves in shifting markets.
At the same time health plans are experimenting with bundled payments as
part of their performance contracting strategy to entice physicians and
hospitals into working more closely together. The difference between the
IPAs and PHOs of the past ,and the ACOs for the future, is that in
addition to clinical integration of provider services, we are now seeing
reimbursement integration offering an additional revenue above billed
charges for those organizations that can make their care system more
efficient in resource use and more effective in clinic outcomes. |
