~ A Reality Check on Workplace Wellness ~

Today’s American workforce is anything but healthy. Poor health is overwhelmingly the result of unhealthy lifestyles, and it inflicts incredible damage on employers and on employees and their families. Yet, there are those who suggest that we not only give up on trying to improve unhealthy lifestyles, but also that we give up on workplace wellness altogether. The wellness industry must learn from its successes and failures, and press forward WITHOUT ABANDONING THE ENTIRE PREMISE THAT GAVE RISE TO WORKPLACE WELLNESS IN THE FIRST PLACE.

In this article, the author focuses on the declining return on investment occurring with workplace wellness programs. PPH Solutions improves the ROI rapidly by addressing the high cost chronic population that doesn't participate in workplace health but costs the employer dearly.

~ Paying For Value: Perspective From The Front Lines ~

This article proposes that in a true pay-for-value system, a national payment rate should be established and rooted in reality (e.g., based on the costs of the top performing health care delivery organizations) and adjusted for three factors: a) risk of the patient population, b) geographic variation in the cost of doing business, c) patient outcomes. A detailed set of recommendations to setting the payment rate is provided.

PPH Solutions is at the forefront of the pay for value transition in healthcare providing the infracstructure for primary care practices to move from fee-for-service to value-based payment systems at no expense to the practices.

The Birmingham Medical News reports, "Providers paid on MPFS will have to choose one of two paths - either Alternative Payment Models (APM's) or the Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS). APM's offer a 5% incentive program. This approach is more likely to be used with accountable care organizations (APOs), bundled payments and other models that have the advanced technology resources and strong data and analytics to manage risk."

Health Affairs Blog (March 16) – English Developments In Value-Based Care: The Beginnings Of A Revolution? Watching from England, one of the most remarkable and well-documented developments in US health care of recent years has been the rapid adoption of a value-based approach to health care and the creation of hundreds of accountable care organizations (ACOs). By contrast, developments with value-based and ACO-like care in the English National Health Service (NHS) are less prevalent and much less well documented. Nevertheless, significant lessons are beginning to emerge from the NHS, some of which may have relevance internationally.

Health Affairs Blog (March 14) – A New Understanding of Health System Performance For Older Adults
The strength of the American health care system is its highly skilled and specialized clinicians who are able to rally the best technology to cure disease. Yet at older age, the problem is not curing a single disease, but the need to manage multiple diseases and allow people to live well with their changing health state and declining life expectancy. Fortunately, what older adults need and want from the health care system is very well aligned with the goals of many health care reform efforts.
