American Indian Health“The federal government spends less per capita onNative American health care than on any other group forwhich it has this responsibility, including Medicaidrecipients, prisoners, veterans, and military personnel.Annually, IHS spends 60 percent less on itsbeneficiaries than the average per person health careexpenditure nationwide.”Source: A Quiet Crisis: FederalFunding and Unmet Needs inIndian CountryU.S. Commission on CivilRights, 2003

Partnership with Tribal Governments The Indian Self-Determination Act of 1975 includes anopportunity for Tribes to assume the responsibility ofproviding health care for their members, without lesseningany Federal treaty obligation. Population HIT requires attention to complex issues ofjurisdiction in any study, change, or flow

Salient Points Importance of denominators& prevention for healthimpact Denominators involvesystems thinking, behaviorchange, addressing sociocultural context and equity HIT for system change – theIHS experience of what isneeded for system change Population healthinformatics a key driver

Lack of population informatics capacity as anorganizational “deficiency” diseaseSigns and symptoms Data graveyards, data “black holes”Lots of data, little or unrelated (health system) actionNo strategic direction to leverage lots of dataBig pipes, trickles of waterLarge amount of resource investments, little impactHas systemic effects: Poor quality data fed up the chain and wreak havoc on resource allocation and decision makingImpaired organizational sense-makingCommunities prevented from leveraging natural resource: data for decisionmaking

IHS Priorities To renew and strengthen our partnership withTribes To bring reform to the IHS To improve the quality of and access to care, Ensure that our work is transparent,accountable, fair, and inclusive20

IHS IPC Program The aim of the Improving Patient Care program is to changeand improve the Indian Health system. IPC will develop highperforming and innovative health care teams to improve thequality of and access to care. Acknowledgement – IHS National IPC Program Team led byDr. Lyle Ignace, Director21

“Break Through Series” Model:Major activities of all IPC sites: Teams will receive extensive training and support in attainingthe skills and knowledge in applying methods forimprovement. Five group learning sessions Two face-to-face Two virtual web-ex based learning sessions Knowledge gathering session Action orientated initiative that provides the foundation forcontinued improvement.25

Model for ImprovementThe Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA ) cycle is a process fortesting a change:(Plan) –develop a plan to test the change,(Do)- carry out the test,(Study) – observe and learn from the consequences,(Act) – determine what modifications should bemade to the test.Langley GL, Nolan KM, Nolan TW, Norman CL, Provost LP. The ImprovementGuide: A Practical Approach to Enhancing Organizational27Performance.

Indian Health Medical Home:based on Chronic Care Model(Wagner 2003)

Assure Quality of Care Health Care Organization: Create a culture, organization and mechanisms thatpromote safe, high quality care among all I/T/U health programs. Community Resources and Policies: Mobilize community resources to meetneeds of patients among all I/T/U health programs. Self Management Support: Empower and prepare patients to manage their healthand health care. Delivery System Design: Assure the delivery of care is effective, efficient for allcare teams. Decision Support: Promote clinical care that is consistent with scientific evidenceand patient preferences. Clinical Information Systems: Organize patient and population data to facilitateefficient and effective care.

Integrated Framework forPerformance MeasurementEQUITABLE ACCESS National Priorities Partnership

IHS Quality of Care The IHS posts measures of quality on its “Quality ofCare” website for federally operated facilities. Quality measurement by health condition, facility, andoverall IHS standings encourage accountability andpromote patient participation. Current reporting streams include: ACOs 65 measures, 14 measures for value-basedpurchasing, MU 44 EP measures 15 hospitalmeasures, 38 GPRA measures, UDS reportingmeasures, and IPC 3.0 and 4.0 quality measures48

The IHS Experience:HIT and PCMH Long-standing drivers in the care model for over 40years that are now affecting general health system Community as patient means population health IT isintegral to daily clinical work Close collaboration between clinical and nationalprograms for HIT development PDSA for HIT: Iterative cycle of development, withmodeling and coding choices entering multiple phases ofclinical quality measure development Evaluation should be a constant feature of all programand HIT deployments59
