EMR - The Time is Now:Physician Alignment through IT Richard Eshbach & Bill Moran Panel Discussion
“Every American will have access to an electronic health record by 2014” The President’s Bold Vision for HIT
EMR and our Connected Care Community • What is our Definition of an Electronic Medical Record • WHS and MSHA Current/Future State of the EMR • In-Patient • Out-Patient • Stark Safe Harbors • Regional Out-reach Programs/Opportunities
Definition of an EMR CPR EMR Are we all speaking the same language…..? EHR PHR
Components of a Patient Record Scanned Images of Documents History & Physical Physician Notes Demographic Information Care Giver Notes Prior Encounters Pharmacy Cardiology/Pulmonary Discharge Summary Laboratory Boxed Components are Unstructured Information Radiology
Hospital involvement in community EMR Deployments Hospitals will represent 38% of all EMR purchases up from 11% in 2007 – AC Group, Feb 2008
Electronic Medical Record Industry – Only 22% of Hospitals across the country have successfully deployed an EMR
EMR Scores by Comparison EMR Scores by Bed Size EMR Scores by State
How will we get there? Who will take the lead?
MSHA EMR Strategies Inpatient / Outpatient EMR In 2003, strategic EMR initiative launched to build upon a new integrated technology solution powered by a workflow engine $40+ million committed by MSHA Board for a multi-year implementation Physician Office EMR Implemented Misys EMR in practices in 2005 and now offering as an MSO hosted service to non-employed physician practices Regional Integration Varying levels of integration with physician practice EMRs depending on their status of EMR adoption Exploiting CCHIT compliant inter-operability tools Collaboration in regional connectivity initiatives such as CareSpark RHIO 6/2/2014 12
Computerized Patient Record JourneyPhases I-III Increasing Value On Journey to Patient Safety, Quality and Efficiency 2009-11 2009-10 Bar Coding - MAK Live 2008-09 Interdisciplinary Charting 6 months ED Rad Upg PACs >6 months 2007 Cardiology eHIM Orders Pharmacy Network ClinicalAccess Monitors Single Sign On Hardware Wireless
MSHA In/Out-Patient Approach Mountain States EMR consist of the following: (We are 75% deployed) An electronic Clinical Data Repository - √ Completed (Soarian Clinical Access) Contains 8 years of detailed clinical data An electronic Order Management System - √ Underway (New Soarian Orders) A Picture Archival Communication (PACs) System which allows the capture of medical images – √ Completed (GE Radiology PACs and Siemens Cardiology PACs (echos, caths, nuclear studies…) An electronicflow sheets of vitals and I/O - √ Completed (Soarian Critical Care and MegaCare) An electronic Pharmacy System - √ Completed (Soarian Pharmacy) An electronic Radiology System - √ Completed (Siemens Radiology) An electronic Transcription System - √ Completed (Dolby with Voice Recognition) An electronic Laboratory System - √ Completed (Cerner Classic, replaced w/ SoftLab) An electronic Nursing/Ancillary documentation System - √ Completed (Soarian Clinical Team) An electronic Paper Medical Record - √ Completed (Soarian HIM) eHIM helps you fill gaps in areas throughout your hospitals, where you do not have electronic functionality by scanning, storing and retrieving the paper medical record. Also allows on-line abstraction, coding and completion management and signature by physicians from any location. electronic workflow engine is “listening” to any care event or condition and can be automatically triggered to pro-actively monitor, notify and escalate steps in the care process across all caregivers. Hardwired process workflows minimize lag-time between care handoffs and eliminate “dropping the ball!” 6/2/2014 14
MSHA In/Out Patient Approach • What’s Next……………….. • In order to have a “Completed” Electronic Medical Record, these components are scheduled for implementation: • Nursing Plans of Care • CPOE/ Physician Orders • Physician Progress Notes • Continued/Enhanced Integration to Physician Office EMR’s • Deployment of Home Health Clinical Documentation • On-going enhancement of workflows as more clinical information is available and more clinicians are on-line 6/2/2014 15
Progress Notes Timeframe for Implementation Foundation Systems Clinical Repository Monitors Wireless Single-sign-on Replace Ancillaries • Pharmacy • MAK • eHIM • Dictation • ED • PACs • Rad • EKG • Cardio Orders and Documentation Orders Alerts Workflows Vital Signs Assessments Documentation Forms Plans of Care Physician Order Entry Clinical Decision Support
MSHA Ambulatory Approach Physician Office EMR • Over a decade of utilizing the Misys office management system in all physician practices and providing as contracted MSO service • Implemented Misys EMR in practices in 2005 and now offering as a service to private physician practices (under Stark Safe Harbor guidelines)
MSHA Connectivity Approach Regional Integration • Varying levels of integration with physician practice EMRs depending on their status of EMR adoption • Exploiting CCHIT compliant inter-operability tools • Collaboration in regional connectivity initiatives such as CareSpark RHIO
EMR – Approach • Understanding how WHS EMR Strategies • In-Patient EMR (76% completed) • Our In-patient EMR consists of several software applications that make up the chemistry of a EMR. • Out Patient EMR • Our Out reach (out-patient) EMR currently consists of a purchased package – AllScripts product • Ancillary Strategies around EMR’s • Complexity surrounding multiple EMR strategies – allows us to take advantage of true interoperability through Relay Health.
WHS EMR Strategies Inpatient / Outpatient EMR 99.2% of Positive adoption through our WHS/Physician Portal – our connectivity tool for our Physicians. Over 1,000 Physician Population Our Physician voice is critical in shaping our outcomes. Physicians ‘decide’ how our electronic medical record is defined – through Physician Technology Committees. Board initiative to commit information technology and the exchange of health record exchange for the improvement of patient care within our community. Physician Office EMR Today we have over 60+ physician clinics/offices affiliated with Wellmont. We currently Implemented Misys practice management EMR, and currently have installed AllScripts as our out patient clinical EMR solution. Regional Integration Continued education and participation in sharing health exchange information to every town/city/and region within our community Regional Quarterly IT collaboration initiatives Hosting service, regional/industry benchmarking, best practices Establishing a Chime/HIMSS chapter within our Region 6/2/2014 21

EMR – In Patient Approach… Wellmont’s EMR consist of the following: (We are 76% deployed) • An electronicOrder Management System - √ Completed(STAR HOM/Orders) • An Picture Archival Communication (PAC’s) System which allows the capture of medical images – √ Completed(PAC’s) • An electronicPharmacy System - √ Completed(HMM) • An electronicRadiology System - √ Completed(Star RIS) • An electronicTranscription System - √ Completed(Cquence, Star/HPF, Lanier) • An electronicLaboratory System - √ Completed(Cerner Classic) • An electronicNursing documentation System - √ Completed (HED) • An electronicHorizon Patient Folder Application - √ Completed(HPF) • HPFhelps you fill gaps in areas throughout your hospitals, where you do not have electronic functionality. This application allow scanned documents and having them back available in ‘REAL-TIME electronically.
WHS EMR – What’s Next… In order to have a “Completed” Electronic Medical Record, these components are scheduled for implementation: CPOE/Orders Physician Notes Integration to Physician Office EMR’s and Clinician Care Plans Cardiology products have to be fully integrated (90% done) Emergency Departments need to be fully integrated Anesthesia needs to be fully integrated 6/2/2014 25
