A TRIBUTE TO C. MICHAEL OGLE, DO OOA PRESIDENT 2015-2016

A president who set a high standard for leadership and involvement, President Ogle led the organization with enthusiasm and commitment during his presidential year. He streamlined the OOA bureaus to increase participation and efficiencies, and he continued to promote and support legislation at the state and national level that protected the osteopathic profession.

2015-2016 Board of Trustees Oklahoma Osteopathic Association Oklahoma D.O. | April 2016

President Ogleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quick wit and candor exemplifies his intelligence and ease in which he led the Board of Trustees during a memorable year of change and opportunity.

Oklahoma D.O.

He led the OOA through a delicate transitional change in the hiring of a new executive director after Lynette McLain announced her retirement in June 2015, and he has been instrumental in the start of a financial turnaround for the association.

The State Innovation Models (SIM) Initiative is a program funded by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to provide financial and technical support to states to develop innovative models of health care delivery that will accomplish the triple aim of increased care quality, lower costs, and better health outcomes (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, 2015). Oklahoma was awarded a SIM Initiative grant in December 2014 and worked throughout 2015 to develop a comprehensive model of health care delivery innovation and payment reform (Oklahoma State Department of Health [OSDH], 2016). Several workgroups were formed in January of 2015 to work on the various components of the Oklahoma SIM (OSIM) project. The workgroups included Health Information Technology, Health Finance, Health Efficiency and Effectiveness, and Health Workforce. The Oklahoma State University Center for Rural Health was contracted by the Oklahoma State Department of Healthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Center for Health Innovation & Effectiveness to provide health care workforce research and analysis for inclusion in the OSIM Plan submitted to CMS on March 31, 2016. The product of the analysis was a series of reports, including a

policy prospectus that provided seven policy recommendations (or policy goals) that would help transition the current health care workforce to one that functions in a value-based care delivery system. For the sake of brevity, we have excerpted and summarized each recommendation. In doing so, we focused only on those aspects most salient to Oklahomaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s osteopathic physician community. We encourage you to visit the OSIM project website (http://bit.ly/oklahomasim) to view the complete OSIM Plan and the various supporting documents used to construct the policy recommendations.

In order to formulate the care teams necessary for valuebased health care delivery in Oklahoma, the state should promote the adoption of data standards among the various health care workforce datasets. The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) recommends that health professional boards and states adopt a minimum dataset for health care professionals (Health Resources and Services Administration, 2015). The implementation of such standards in Oklahoma will not only help Oklahoma D.O. | April 2016

provide a clearer picture of the geographic distribution of the health care workforce, but they will also shed light on the nature of practice and demographic composition (i.e., gender, race/ethnicity, and age) of the workforce. The minimum standards should be extended to the various emerging health care workforce professions as well. Beyond the immediate need for value-based care transition, quality data is needed to help formulate education and training initiatives so that the future health care workforce supply adequately matches the expected demand. The transition to a value-based model of care will also require a systematic approach to the collection, analysis, and dissemination of health care workforce data. Currently, the analysis of health care workforce data in Oklahoma is distributed across any number of state agencies, professional organizations, and educational institutions. As is often the case, these analyses tend to be narrowly focused or agenda driven. There have been recent attempts to coordinate some workforce analysis through the Oklahoma Health Improvement Plan (OHIP) Workforce Workgroup. Early results with this approach have demonstrated some success. However, the state needs a single coordinating entity (OSDH, 2013).

Oklahoma D.O. | April 2016

While the state as a whole faces a shortage of primary care providers, the situation in rural Oklahoma is dire. Rural Oklahoma has 10.7 active primary care providers per 10,000 population compared to 16.2 active primary care providers per 10,000 population in urban areas. The use of financial incentives and select policy levers to influence the practice locations of health professionals are well documented and proven effective (Sempowski, 2004; Daniels et al., 2007). The Oklahoma Physician Manpower Training Commission (PMTC) offers financial incentives to qualified medical professionals through a series of loan repayment/forgiveness programs and scholarships. In return, participants in the loan repayment/forgiveness programs and scholarship programs agree to practice in rural or underserved Oklahoma. PMTC also supports some of the primary care residency and internship programs in the state by covering a portion of the costs associated with physicians in training. Two studies have analyzed the effectiveness of PMTC programs. The studies are dated, and a fresh analysis is needed to determine if the PMTC programs are still functioning as intended. Compared to the rest of the country, Oklahoma performs well at keeping graduate medical education (GME) program graduates in the state (Association of American Medical Colleges, 2013). The recent influx of state resources directed towards additional primary care GME in rural and underserved Oklahoma should prove to be a valuable investment. The Teaching Health Center (THC) federal grant program has also served as a vital source of funding for several new primary care GME programs in the state. However, uncertainty about the continued funding of THC GME programs at the federal level has forced some of these programs to stop recruiting future residency classes. Alternative funding scenarios, beyond those already in place, should be considered to support or expand current primary care GME programs.

PAGE 23

Beyond effective training programs, growing the primary care workforce in Oklahoma depends on effective strategies to recruit potential providers and retain them once they begin to practice. The recruitment efforts are primarily perceived as the purview of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s medical

Oklahoma D.O.

Oklahoma has a shortage of primary care providers (United Health Foundation, 2015). This shortage of providers is undoubtedly a significant factor shaping the poor health outcomes that plague the state (Starfield, Shi, & Macinko, 2005). A key component to increasing the number of primary care providers in Oklahoma is having a well-functioning education pipeline. The pipeline extends from high school through college and on to medical school for physicians and professional training programs for physician assistants (PAs) and nurse practitioners (NPs). To our knowledge, there have been no systematic studies evaluating the entire primary care training pipeline in Oklahoma. Without such information, it is difficult to discern which types of educational programming during the various stages of training are the most effective at producing primary care providers.

schools and professional training programs. However, communities, businesses and professional organizations play an important role in the recruitment process. Given the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s financial support of primary care provider education, it behooves us to develop a comprehensive understanding of the most effective means to recruit and retain primary care providers.

Oklahoma faces a number of challenges in providing adequate behavioral health services. Oklahoma is ranked second in the nation both for the proportion of adults with serious mental illness and the proportion of adults who report any mental illness, yet Oklahoma is ranked 46th in per capita behavioral health service spending (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, 2013). One of the strategies proposed to improve Oklahoma’s low ranking in mental health is to integrate behavioral health services into primary care delivery.

Oklahoma D.O. PAGE 24

Two recently published Milbank Reports address the issue of primary care and behavioral health integration. The first report provides a comprehensive analysis of eight models of care integration including a variety of examples from implementation projects (Collins, Hewson, & Wade, 2010). More recently, Gerrity (2014) published a report more focused on behavioral health integration for persons with serious mental illness. This report reviewed 12 randomized controlled trials that used a variety of integration models. Although the author notes that a major limitation of the study is the quality of published evidence, she concludes that these interventions are particularly effective for persons with high health care utilization. The evidence suggests that effective care management that bridges mental health services and primary care services decreases utilization and costs with additional cost savings to the criminal justice system. Studies have also examined the effects of integrating oral health services in primary care. Aetna (2013) conducted a large-scale study that examined health insurance claims data comparing patients who participated in a dental integration program to similar patients without dental integration. The results indicate that for those with dental integration medical claims were reduced by 17%. Further, persons with diabetes had better glycemic control, there were fewer hospital admissions, and participants used fewer basic and major dental services. For participants who were pregnant, there was a 25% lower preterm delivery rate and 34% fewer infants of low birth weight compared to persons not receiving dental integration. Similarly, Jeffcoat and colleagues (2014) studied insurance claims data to examine the impact of peri-

odontal therapy on three common chronic conditions as well as pregnancy. Statistically significant reductions in total medical costs were reported for persons with type 2 diabetes (40.2%), coronary artery disease (10.7%), cerebral vascular disease (40.9%), and pregnancy (73.7%).

For Oklahoma’s rural hospitals, telehealth is a growing part of essential hospital services. New waves of physicians, NPs/PAs, and registered nurses should be adequately trained to meet hospitals’ needs for telehealth integrated care delivery. Much work remains in linking available specialists with participating hospitals, however, and “lack of specialists available for consult” is the primary barrier to starting or expanding telehealth services. This suggests the need for an online database listing specialists who are licensed and desiring to provide consultations via telehealth to rural hospitals. A number of states are using models like Project ECHO to provide distributed clinical consultations to rural primary care providers. This model connects rural primary care providers with academic medical centers that provide specialty consultative services through video and teleconferencing. Such an approach can reduce costs and improve efficiencies by allowing rural physicians to treat complicated medical conditions in their local communities. Some of the infrastructure to implement Project ECHO type services in Oklahoma are already in place and operational. The OSU TeleHealth network currently provides select specialty consultative connections for health care providers throughout the state. Further, the network also delivers distance learning, Grand Rounds, and other educational content to clinical and residency training sites (Oklahoma State University Center for Health Sciences, 2015).

Specialized technical expertise is required to effectively manage and utilize the data generated by electronic health record (EHR)/health information exchange (HIE) use. Biomedical informatics (aka health informatics) and health information management programs are

Oklahoma D.O. | April 2016

designed to train persons in data management and analytics. These programs, accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Health Informatics and Information Management Education, are only available at three of Oklahoma’s colleges and universities. There are two campus-based associate degree programs located at Rose State College and Tulsa Community College and one online baccalaureate program at Southwestern Oklahoma State University. Oklahoma will need to expand training programs in order to meet projected growth in biomedical informatics and other health information technology careers.

As mentioned earlier, Oklahoma has an extreme shortage of primary care physicians. One solution, that has strong support both nationally and internationally, is to expand scope of practice for non-physician clinicians (i.e., advanced practice registered nurses and physician assistants) trained to deliver primary and preventive care. Team-based models of care rely on flexible shifting of responsibilities in ways consistent with professional scope of practice. However, there are varying degrees of mismatch between professional scope of practice and the legal scope of practice established through a state’s legislative process.

As Oklahoma transitions to a value-based model of care delivery with its emphasis on team-based care, any associated changes to the state’s health care workforce must develop professionals that can function and thrive in a team-based environment. The policy recommendations presented above are an important first step in producing an optimal health care workforce for a value-based care delivery system. Some aspects of the recommendations have been implemented. For example, members of the OHIP Workforce Subcommittee have worked over the past few years to breakdown some of the barriers with regard to health care workforce data sharing and research. Other aspects, such as implementing new procedures to change scope-of-practice laws, will require considerable effort and courage on the part of the entire health care community in the state. Again, we encourage you to visit the OSIM project website (http://bit.ly/oklahoma-

A major challenge for Oklahoma health care workforce redesign efforts is both a basic knowledge of the prevalence of emerging health care workforce positions as well as an understanding of how the emerging workforce are currently being utilized. Many of these positions such as care coordinators, patient navigators, panel managers and community health workers may be filled by licensed nurses (RNs or LPNs), licensed social workers (LCSWs), or certified medical assistants (CMAs). Unfortunately, there are no mechanisms in place for tracking information related to the number and type of positions that exist, the types of health care workers who fill these positions (e.g., licensed or unlicensed), or where they are concentrated (e.g., urban vs. rural, tribal health systems, etc.). The licensure boards in Oklahoma do not identify or differentiate by health care role. As a result, data collection efforts related to the documentation of emerging workforce roles in Oklahoma cannot be assisted by data provided by state licensure boards. Potential data collected through surveys has a number of probable limitations (e.g., difficulties developing an adequate distribution list, potentially low response rates, etc.). Better data collection methods are essential to understanding this important workforce component.

Oklahoma D.O.

Practitioners’ scope of practice is determined by both the professional licensure board and state legislation typically passed as practice acts (e.g. Nurse Practice Act, Physician Assistant Act, Oklahoma Osteopathic Medicine Act, etc.). These various practice acts define the licensed profession, describe specific practice restrictions, and outline disciplinary consequences of license violation. Changes to a practice act require the approval of the state legislature and governor. Increasingly, states are establishing independent review committees to examine scope of practice changes. States that have adopted independent review committees include New Mexico, Iowa, Texas and Virginia. California established a comprehensive Center for the Health Professions that evaluates scope-of-practice issues and provides research reports for policy makers. Further, Dower et al. (2007) proposed a variety of possible solutions including increased regulatory flexibility to facilitate scope-of-practice changes as worker competencies evolve and utilizing evidencebased practices through both limited demonstration

projects and access to the results of projects conducted in other states. The establishment of a national clearinghouse for scope-of-practice information could further facilitate these efforts.
