Reimagining Physician-Payer Collaboration for the Real-time Digital Age
Now that the Meaningful Measures Program and the Alternative Payment Models (APMs) and outcomes driven are driving the healthcare agenda, how can we move to a more real-time quality data exchange capability?

and vendor neutral business process, case management, and decision model notations • Superb tooling support on top of easily exchangeable XML • Complex event processing (CEP) frameworks can generate processes, cases, and decision trees • CQL can still be used for querying language Healthcare Standards Social determinants of health (SDoH – environmental, retail, financial, etc.) cannot rely on healthcare specific standards
that isn’t understandable by patients or their caregivers would be prioritized for inclusion. MUST be UNDERSTANDABLE by PATIENTS and CAREGIVERS Create a maximum of 10 measures per condition or procedure and then every time we have a great idea for another one, eliminate an older one. EVERY NEW MEASURE MUST ELIMINATE an OLDER MEASURE If a measure isn’t demonstrating outcomes easily understood by patients or loved ones, we’d ignore it. MUST be OUTCOMES FOCUSED, not PROCESS CENTRIC PDQX Measures Reimagine drastically reducing what we measure
really have a voice today in quality measures, how will we setup that feedback loop? HOW DO WE KNOW WHAT MATTERS TO PATIENTS and CAREGIVERS? VALIDATED “PROMS” (PATIENT REPORTED OUTCOMES MEASURES) What kind of telemetry and continuous learning can we put into place to know which are useful vs. not? HOW DO WE KNOW IF SOMEONE IS USING AN OLD MEASURE WHEN WE WANT TO DEPRECATE OR ELIMINATE IT? Healthcare outcomes are notoriously difficult to determine, do we not measure process at all? WHO DETERMINES OUTCOMES FOCUSED vs. PROCESS CENTRIC? USE SAME APPROACH AS PROMS DEVELOPERS PDQX Challenges Patient-centric and outcomes-focused easier said than done
