of healthcare” “we need to disrupt healthcare” “how would elimination of prior auth increase utilization?” “how can improving provider affinity increase member satisfaction?” “we need to buy more digital health tools” “how can we pay non-clinicians to handle more patient-facing tasks?”
objectives based on desired outcomes Consider using Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) framework for defining outcomes Understand problems to be solved (PTBSs) For each PTBS, understand Jobs to be Done (JTBDs) and journey mapping (JM) Figure out how to model the PTBSs and JTBDs in simple spreadsheets or real simulations Eliminate as many JTBDs as possible through policy or process redesign For JTBDs remaining which cannot be removed (regulatory, statutory, business model, etc.) list remaining PTBSs Find or create solutions, based on remaining PTBSs, JTBDs, and JMs Test your hypotheses against the models and simulations and keep what’s evidence driven These are your “stated needs” (which you’ll use to influence demand)
we move from “institution first” to “patient first” to true “patient centered” innovation diffusion? Hint: it’s not about patient engagement. It’s about outcomes.
Administrator Last week, CMS announced our new initiative “Patients Over Paperwork” to address regulatory burden. This is an effort to go through all of our regulations to reduce burden. Because when burdensome regulations no longer advance the goal of patients first, we must improve or eliminate them. … We’re revising current quality measures across all programs to ensure that measure sets are streamlined, outcomes-based, and meaningful to doctors and patients. This includes a review of the Hospital Star Rating program. And, we’re announcing today our new comprehensive initiative, "Meaningful Measures.” … “Meaningful Measures” takes a new approach to quality measures to reduce the burden of reporting on all providers…Meaningful Measures will involve only assessing those core issues that are the most vital to providing high-quality care and improving patient outcomes. … It’s better to focus on achieving results, as opposed to having CMS try to micromanage and measure processes. This will help two things: • Help address high impact measurement areas that safeguard public health. • Help promote more focused quality measure development towards outcomes that are meaningful to patients, families and their providers. “ ” SPEECH: Remarks by Administrator Seema Verma at the Health Care Payment Learning and Action Network (LAN) Fall Summit (As prepared for delivery - October 30, 2017) https://www.cms.gov/Newsroom/MediaReleaseDatabase/Fact-sheets/2017-Fact-Sheet-items/2017-10-30.html
