    5. Issues in Healthcare Quality Lack of information at the point of care Clinical Decision Support Patient Centered Medical Home MICHIGAN ASSOCIATION OF HEALTH PLANS 6/23/2010 5 Quality Lack of information- does not allow physicians to make the best decisions Clinical decision support- no one physician can know everything there is to know about ‘best practices’; computerization can facilitated good decision making Patient Centered medical home- IT allows the ability to communicate with patients outside of the traditional 4 walls of the office and facilitate improved care delivery, and the empowerment of the patient Process To insure clean billing, proper care, timely interventions by all members of the healthcare industry, we need to have the information when it is needed, where we need it and be able to act on it at the right time Physicians are struggling to stay afloat, much of this is due to the massive overhead that has been created by policy and bureaucracy. Creating improved efficiencies in the office can help to decrease overhead and free up support staff time to make them more productive Administrative simplification- has many definitions, but I see this as tying directly into the last bullet. By improving efficiencies in the office with multi-payer eligibility, SSO into all the plans for claims information, decreasing the amount of time on the phone and having the right information available at the staff’s fingertips will greatly enhance care and satisfaction of all participants, including the patient Efficiency Paper based processes- we will not be getting away from paper anytime soon, so we need to leverage other mechanisms to facilitate HIT adoption; this can be accomplished by using one common denominator in the physician’s office- the fax machine. We will talk about how to accomplish this a little more later. Segmented data sources- data is scattered across the healthcare horizon, in many different locations and to date has been very difficult to pull together. We are the at the crux of solving this problem, of assembling patient information with a single point of access. Lack of integration- ties directly to the above bullet point; the data is scattered and in many different forms. We need to be able to pull all the data together, but just as important is to pull it together and be able to make sense of it Security- for any of this to be viable, it must have strong security behind it Data is available from many potential sources, but must be accessed in a highly secure manner to protect patient privacy and confidentiality Central vs. federated vs. hybrid Reduced unsecured printed information- (paper in the office story) Quality Lack of information- does not allow physicians to make the best decisions Clinical decision support- no one physician can know everything there is to know about ‘best practices’; computerization can facilitated good decision making Patient Centered medical home- IT allows the ability to communicate with patients outside of the traditional 4 walls of the office and facilitate improved care delivery, and the empowerment of the patient Process To insure clean billing, proper care, timely interventions by all members of the healthcare industry, we need to have the information when it is needed, where we need it and be able to act on it at the right time Physicians are struggling to stay afloat, much of this is due to the massive overhead that has been created by policy and bureaucracy.
