A national leader in healthcare delivery innovation and population
health, the State of Minnesota will use data analytics from 3M to help
improve the quality and value of the care provided to Minnesota citizens
served by public health care. The Minnesota Department of Human Services
has selected 3M Health Information Systems as its analytics contractor
to support Minnesota's Integrated
Health Partnership (IHP) demonstration, a groundbreaking initiative
that tests new approaches to health care delivery and payment.
3M Health Information Systems will provide data management, analysis,
and data access and reporting resources to help Minnesota IHP
organizations analyze cost of care, utilization of services, and risk
data so they can identify opportunities for cost and care
transformation. The 16 healthcare organizations participating in IHP
serve over 204,000 Minnesotans enrolled in Medical Assistance.
The Minnesota project is part of a $45 million State Innovation Model
(SIM) cooperative agreement, awarded to the Minnesota Departments of
Human Services in 2013 by the federal Center
for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) to help implement the
Minnesota Accountable Health Model. This model expands patient-centered,
team-based care through new service delivery and payment structures,
which integrate medical care, behavioral health, long-term care and
community prevention services. As part of this initiative, the SIM
program tests ways to lower the costs of caring for Medicare and
Medicaid beneficiaries, while improving quality of care.
“Minnesota’s participation in the SIM program is the latest example of
the state’s pioneering efforts to transform health care,” said William
Kelly, Senior Vice President, Population and Payment Solutions for 3M
Health Information Systems. “We look forward to supporting the state’s
efforts with advanced analytic tools and meaningful data that can be
used to encourage preventive care and reward healthy outcomes.”
3M technology and analytics are used throughout health care in
prospective payment systems, quality outcomes measurement, risk
stratification and analysis, and population health management. State
Medicaid agencies, hospital associations, and payer-provider
collaboratives in more than 30 states use 3M patient classification
methodologies for comparative reporting of hospital quality and as the
basis for determining outcomes-based financial incentives and designing
new healthcare payment models.
