I. Market Forces: 1993

*

Environment - 1993

  • Unemployment Rate – 7.5%

  • Stock Market – 3300

  • Volume – Down

  • Margins – Down

  • Beds – Down 24%

  • Research Grants – Slow Growth

  • Residency Slots – Going Down 20%

  • HMO Growth 27%
  • Capitation – wave of the future

50%

*

Strategic Response in 1993

  • Leadership roles in restructuring the area’s health care by creating the core for a superior integrated care delivery system

Geographic coverage

Comprehensive services

Highest quality programs and services

  • Reduce and transform system capacity and capabilities

Shift the mix of resources towards integrated care

Shift location of some services closer to the patient

  • Significantly improve cost position throughout the institution while improving quality of programs and patient care

Consolidation

Rationalization

Re-design

  • Ensure critical mass is retained for clinical, teaching, and research excellence

II. One Case: Partners Strategy and Founding

*

Partners Clinical Strategy

  • Physician driven (not corporate driven):

Physicians comprise the majority of executive decision-makers

Partners has an extended family of more than 5000 physicians

Patients pick doctors - not hospitals

  • Local:

Where people get their health care is usually a function of geography

Partners hospitals serve the largest share of patients in their home communities

Expanding the base is easier than de novo recruitment

  • Management:

GM vs. Microsoft

Coke vs. Pepsi

Physicians vs. Hospitals

Service vs. TV ads

Branding: GM vs. Microsoft

  • Branding – Partners Brand vs. MGH Brand and BWH Brand – Two of the best

  • Baybank - $25M to replace Harvard Trust

  • A stew not a puree in organizational culture

  • Parent Company – recognizes strength and energy comes from founding hospitals

  • “No one ever cured at Partners”

Partners HealthCare’s Market Share in Eastern MA

Notes:

PHS market share is calculated on “same store,” i.e. discharges for all hospitals currently in the system

Market share data only available from state through FY06

Partners’ inpatient Market Share in Eastern Massachusetts has been constant at 22% for 10 years

Acute FY99 FY00 FY01 FY02 FY03 FY04 FY05 FY06

Quality: Our Perspective

Boston is the only city with 2 hospitals (BWH & MGH) on the 2008 US News Top Ten List

All Massachusetts hospitals ranked by US News in at least one adult specialty are listed in the table above. If a hospital is not listed, it was not ranked in any adult specialty.

US News uses a comprehensive and detailed methodology that is over 100 pages long.

Partners Commitment: Impact on Preserving
Health Services

Community Hospitals

  • Union Hospital in Lynn losing $2m/year (1997)
  • Faulkner Hospital losing $4m/year (1998)
  • Newton-Wellesley Hospital losing $21m/year (1998)
  • New emergency rooms at Newton-Wellesley, Salem, and Union Hospitals

Mental Health Services

  • McLean Hospital in Belmont losing $9.7m/year (1993)
  • Added psychiatric beds at McLean, Faulkner, Newton-Wellesley, North Shore Medical Center, and MGH

Commitment to Mission: Our Perspective

*

  • We rescued these community hospitals.
  • We essentially ate their losses, and helped to turn them around.
  • And when other hospitals were closing psychiatric beds, we were adding them.

A portion of the premium differential reflects the impact of Massachusetts market dynamics:

State mandated benefits

Less cost-shifting to employees than in other areas of the country

Boston Globe September 18, 2006

“The rising number of Massachusetts residents with cancer will outstrip the capacity of radiation treatment facilities within four years, say public health officials, who for the first time in 13 years are asking hospitals that do not already offer such therapy to build expensive new treatment centers.”

“Treating these patients will require at least eight additional multi-million-dollar radiation facilities, and health officials in July changed state regulations to allow more hospitals to build such centers.”

Goals of Health Care Reform

Coverage Reimbursement Quality and Cost Management
Expand Medicaid outreach and eligibility Create incentives that encourage businesses to provide for their employees Protect the safety net Create affordable products Invest $270 million over 3 years - $90 million per year (approximately $45 million in state cost) Medicaid and uncompensated care pool reforms Adequate annual inflation adjustment Focus on making the delivery of care more reliable Improve disease management Incentives for providers that promote efficient, high quality care Manage chronic medical conditions Medicaid managed care Invest in information technology Right care, right place Pay for performance

*

Health Care Reform

  • Chapter 58 included $90M per year for three years for the express purpose of closing the gap between Medicaid payments and the cost of providing care to Medicaid patients – estimated at 20¢ on the dollar

Chapter 58 allocated the new funds as follows:

15% for physician rates

85% for acute hospital rates

  • This gap had grown over the past decade as payments to acute hospitals failed to keep up with inflation

Some hospitals had been protected due to special circumstances that warranted higher payment rates

Community Benefits vs. Tax Exempt Status

Assertion:

  • Harvard Professor Nancy Kane asserts that tax exempt status is worth 8.5% of operating revenue.
  • Partners only provides 2.3% according to 2009 guidelines issued by the Massachusetts Attorney General.

Response:

  • Partners spent $151 million in community benefits last year.
  • According to the information that the IRS will collect (new schedule H in 2010) we arguably provide up to 12.3% in Community Benefits.

(The major difference between AG and IRS is whether you can count losses in Medicare and Medicaid)

  • Then Massachusetts looks a little high --- but only a little.
  • Cheaper than New Jersey
  • 3% above Texas and only 8.5 percent above California

  • Some of the most important health care research conducted in the last decade was John Wennberg at Dartmouth
  • Substantial geographic variation in costs
  • Cost variation not related to quality – often higher quality in less costly regions.
  • There is also substantial variation within geographic areas

*

Why do MGH and BWH Have Higher Prices?

  • Higher Costs
  • Standby Capacity
  • Teaching Intensity
  • Patient Severity
  • Research Intensity
  • Need to cover reimbursement shortfalls from Medicaid (81¢) and Medicare (92¢)
  • Quality
  • Commitment to areas that chronically lose money
  • Psychiatry
  • Obstetrics
  • Community health centers
  • Non acute care (e.g., rehabilitation)
  • Pediatrics
  • Primary Care
  • Investments to create a integrated delivery system
  • Electronic medical records, disease management, etc.
  • Commitment to developing new medical techniques and technology

*

Chart based on Koenig et al., “Estimating the Mission-Related Costs of Teaching Hospitals,” Health Affairs, no.6 (2003): 112-122.

All Teaching Hospitals Have Higher Costs Due to their Broad Mission and Complex Patients

*

  • Standby capacity is the capacity to provide high-technology or intensive services whose availability is essential to the healthcare system

Standby capacity is the largest single component of teaching hospitals mission-related costs

Chart based on Koenig et al., “Estimating the Mission-Related Costs of Teaching Hospitals,” Health Affairs, no.6 (2003): 112-122.

*

Notes:

1. Median costs are from the Massachusetts Health Care Quality and Cost Council website

Not all Teaching Hospitals Are the Same-

BWH and MGH Have Greater Standby Capacity

than their Peers

  • Transfer-in patients are patients transferred to MGH and BWH from other facilities.

  • Transfer-in patients make up 12-13 percent of patients at BWH and MGH.
  • Transfer-in patients are sicker and more medically complex than other patients.
  • They account for 41-43% of all deaths.
  • The raw unadjusted mortality rate for transfer-in patients is 5 times higher than the non-transfer group.

Community Hospitals Rely on MGH and BWH to be Available to Treat their Sickest and Most Complex Patients

Additional Suburban Expansion Slides

*

Newton-Wellesley Ambulatory Surgical Center

Framingham, MA

  • Helps prevent the situation that occurred at Union Hospital

At Union, a private group of orthopedic surgeons created their own outpatient facility after NSMC declined to create one. As a result, the non-profit community hospital lost a major revenue source that subsidized less profitable services including psychiatry and emergency services. A similar situation might have occurred had we not pursued a new center in cooperation with the physicians.

  • Over the past 2 years, complex joint cases and gastric bypass cases have increased by 10-14 percent at Newton-Wellesley.

  • Newton-Wellesley’s main campus lacks the necessary space to safely accommodate the increases in surgery and GI cases.

*

Mass General/North Shore Outpatient Center

Danvers, MA

  • NSMC functions as a safety net hospital for the region.
  • Since 2003, the hospital has lost $56 million on treating low-income patients covered under public programs.
  • NSMC depends on Partners subsidies in order to continue its role as a safety net hospital
  • The project was suggested by NSMC and builds on the long history of NSMC/MGH tertiary-care collaborations.
  • More than 40 percent of the facility will be used to relocate existing services from the NSMC Cancer Center, which has outgrown its current space in Peabody.

*

Cancer Center at Milford Regional Medical Center

Milford, MA

  • Milford Regional Medical Center and its physicians invited Partners to collaborate on its cancer center in cooperation with the Dana Farber Cancer Institute.

  • Partners only provides physician services at the cancer center.

*

Patriot Place, Foxboro, MA

  • A rare clinical opportunity
  • About 30,000-40,000 current BWH patients live in the Foxboro area.
  • Population growth in Foxboro and the surrounding region is expected to outpace the growth in other parts of Eastern Massachusetts.
  • Between 2006 to 2016 the Foxboro market is projected to grow by 10.3%, compared to 4.7% for Eastern Massachusetts.
  • The site will include a Partners’ medical home project.
  • Sturdy Memorial, a local community hospital in the region, has a strong financial performance.
  • For FY2007 it had an total margin of 14.74%, compared to the median margin for the state of 2.99%.

*

Cancer Center at South Shore Hospital

Weymouth, MA

  • South Shore Hospital decided to build a cancer center and invited Partners and Dana Farber Cancer Institute to participate.

  • The Cancer Center builds on the existing relationship between Brigham and Women’s Hospital and South Shore Hospital

Brigham and Women’s Hospital has provided OB/GYN, cardiac care and other clinical services in the past to South Shore Hospital.
