The Secret to Cost Containment:
Not Population Health but Subpopulation
Health
25
Dartmouth Atlas shows wide variation in cost
26
Wide Swings in Cost and Care
 The Dartmouth Atlas uses Medicare claims data to track how cost
and quality vary across the U.S.
 The Results:
 There is a 2.5 fold variation in Medicare spending by region
(population-adjusted)
 Patients in high-cost areas are not sicker nor do they have
better health outcomes
 More health care spending does not result in living better or
longer. In fact, the opposite may be true
 Reducing unwarranted variation could improve quality and
reduce spending 30%

Care Index*
More Money Does Not Improve Value
* Effective care index includes: pneumonia vaccination; breast & colon cancer screening; eye exams,
HbA1c & blood lipid monitoring for diabetes; and, aspirin therapy, beta blockers, ACE inhibitors and

What Drives Decisions on Care?
 Doctors decide based on local
medical opinion and supply of
medical resources, not on science or
what informed patients want
 Doctors have surprisingly little
information on what works or the
“right” amount of care
 This is why Congress is funding
“comparative effectiveness” research
29
Supply-Sensitive Care: Is More Health
Care Better?
 People assume that more care is
better
 Reinforced by fee-for-service
payment
 Where more care is provided,
patients with chronic conditions
do not have better health
 “Supply of services” accounts for
50% of the regional variation
30
Alliance Role: Show How Care Varies
and Promote Better Value
 The driving force: Ron Sims and King County
 Purchasers, Providers, Plans & Patients
 2 million lives in 5 counties
 Funded by participant fees and grants
 Nationally recognized by the Robert Wood Johnson
Foundation and the federal Secretary of Health and
Human Services
31
32
Generic prescribing shows wide variation
across and within medical groups
33
What gets measured, gets managed, as
hospital metrics show
34
Resource Use Varies by Delivery System
35
How Will Transparency Make a Difference?
 Creates public accountability
 Sets targets for improvement
 Stimulates dialogue among
providers to compete
 Gives consumers more information
about care they need and how providers vary
 Results may be tied to provider pay incentives and/or
network design
 Improving results will reduce the personal and financial
cost of chronic disease and preventable conditions
36
Transparency: Necessary but Not Sufficient –
Need to Pay Providers for Value, not Volume
 We now reward providers for
delivering more services to more
people, not for better quality
 Providers are not rewarded for
keeping people healthy
 Fundamental payment reform is
needed to reward value
 Medicare, the largest payer, sets
payment standards, but local
innovations are underway
37
Organized Systems of Care Are Needed for
New Payment Models
 Deliver and/or arrange full range
of services
 Skilled in quality and cost
management
 Coordinate care with specialists
and others
 Engage patients in shared
decision-making and help patients self-manage
their conditions
 Commit to creating a better way to deliver care to
patients
 Supported by Electronic Health Record
38
39
Prospects for Real Health Reform
 The Good News:
 There is agreement that the system is
unsustainable
 We know what’s needed to fix it
 The Bad News:
 The challenge is execution
 It will be disruptive and take time to fix
40
What’s Needed to Fix the System
 Research into what works
 Focus on chronic care prevention and management
 Coordination of patients’ care
 Organized systems of care
 New ways to pay doctors and hospitals
 Patient access to evidence-based information on
quality and cost
41
Challenges to Fixing the System
 One person’s “waste” is another person’s revenue
 Hospitals have huge capital investments
 New provider payment systems are unproven and complex
to administer
 Conversion from paper to electronic health records is costly
and slow
 “Organized Systems” can be cartels and drive up costs
 Comparative effectiveness research takes time and money
 The public assumes that more care is better
42
The Public Needs to Understand What’s at Stake
 High rates of overtreatment, under treatment, and misuse of
medical services endanger their health
 U.S. cannot prosper when 18% of the economy wastes 30%
of what it spends
 Diverting resources from education and innovation to
medical care imperils our global competitiveness
 If U.S. keeps borrowing to pay for ineffective care, we and
our children will pay the price
