Pay for Performance
• Developing force for change
– Approximately 100 programs
– 1/3 commercial plans
– Impacting both hospitals and
physicians
• Does it work?
– Improved quality
– Decreased utilization
– Success seems to depend on size
and type of incentive

P4P - The Social Democrats
• A rising tide lifts all boats
• Broad participation is
important
• Set achievable goals to start
• Reward improvement as well
as performance
• Technical assistance to help
all groups succeed
Steve Wetzell. The Movement Towards Transparency
and Pay for Performance. 2005.
Healthcare providers “need
payment not for performance,
but to support performance.”
– Don Berwick, 2005

P4P - The Darwinians
• “If you build it, they will
come”
• Set the bar high
• No breakthrough without
pushing
• Make threshold more
difficult over time
• Poor performers will
(should) get consolidated

Questions About the Future
• Should rural healthcare providers feel complacent
with cost-based reimbursement, grant funding,
and minimal quality reporting mandates?
• Are we in rural insulated and immune from the
forces of healthcare change?
• Should our patients continue to tolerate
healthcare overuse, underuse, and misuse?
• Should our patients continue to tolerate
suboptimal safety, quality, and service?

Culture
What does “culture” mean to you?
26
2005 Minnesota Rural Health Conference
Culture
• Culture is the invisible force
behind the intangibles and
observables in any organization, a
social energy that moves people
to act. Culture is to an
organization what personality is to
the individual – a hidden yet
unifying theme that provides
meaning, direction, and
mobilization.*
• What we believe; what we do
* Kilman,
Sexton, Serpa, 1985

Cultural Barriers to Safety
We have not seen substantial progress in one critical
area – culture – that has the greatest potential to
produce sustainable improvements in safety.
– Daniel Stryer and Carolyn Clancy
BMJ. March 12, 2005
Why isn’t health care demonstrably safer? … The
answer is to be found in the culture of medicine –
complexity, autonomy, fear, and lack of leadership.
– Lucian Leape and Donald Berwick

Defining Mission
30
2005 Minnesota Rural Health Conference
Cultural Determinants
• Walking the Mission talk?
• The congruence of:
Mission – Operations – Budget – 3 Rs
• Questions for home:
– How do day-to-day operations support the Mission?
– How does the budget prioritize the Mission?
– How many staff and Board meetings are devoted to
the Mission?
– How are employees reinforced, recognized, and
rewarded for living the Mission?
31

Performance Improvement
• Performance improvement is key
to an improvement culture
• The Zen of performance
improvement
– “In God we trust… All else show
data” (Michael Pugh)
– “You can’t manage what you can’t
measure” (unknown)
– “Not all that counts can be counted
and not all that is counted counts”
(Albert Einstein)
– “The world is not black and white; its
grayness makes life interesting and
often challenging” (me)

Leadership
What does “leadership” mean to you?
34
2005 Minnesota Rural Health Conference
IOM’s Comments on Leadership
• Finding
– Rural communities engaged in
health system redesign would likely
benefit from leadership training
programs.
• Recommendation
– Skills sets such as coalition building,
community engagement, health
status measurement, change agency
are necessary for transformational
change.

Rural Health. Washington, D.C. National Academies Press.

Leaders’ Roles
• Establish direction
• Align people
• Motivate and inspire
• Plan and budget
• Organize and staff
• Control and problem-solve*
• Measure, reflect, improve,
and communicate
*Kotter, 1990
36
2005 Minnesota Rural Health Conference
Seeking “Balance”
• Seek balance among equally
important (and often
competing) priorities
–Mission, Operations,
Budget, and the 3Rs
–Quality, Patients,
Employees, and Finance
• With balance, “no margin; no
mission” becomes circular
and meaningless
