Using Clinical Decision Support to Measure Quality for Special Populations T. Bruce Ferguson Jr. MD East Carolina Heart Institute Chair, Dept. of Cardiovascular Sciences Brody School of Medicine at ECU
AHRQ THQIT Grant, 2004-2005 PURPOSE • design for implementation a new IT platform to support a Longitudinal CVD Information System (LCIS) • address disparities in CVD, in the unique safety-net Charity population in Louisiana. SCOPE • multi-institutional project within 8-hospital Charity • Hospital system in LA • Collaboration Partnership between: • LSU Schools of Medicine and Public Health • Tulane University Schools of Medicine and Public Health • ARMUS Corporation (IT provider) • LA Department of Health and Hospitals, Office of Public Health
METHODS • Our focus was directed at augmenting existing resources and creating an LCIS for collecting, analyzing, and coupling clinical and financial data to assess the medical and financial care effectiveness in this CHF population. • Technology issues centered on: • longitudinal data collection methodology across system • Integration of clinical longitudinal data into repository/registry for analysis • This LCIS would enable us addressing the significant care-delivery and patient-related disparities within this population and setting.
RESULTS A model prototype of the LCIS was developed, including testing and evaluation components. A patient centric prototype enabled multiple providers to collect longitudinal CHF data from patient encounters within multiple care-delivery settings. Prototype testing and refinement was being undertaken at the time hurricane Katrina devastated LSU and Tulane Schools of Medicine, and disrupted forever the Charity safety-net population and system.

ECHI Clinical Cardiovascular Information System Critical drivers (IOM, payers) to force information into longitudinal, patient-centric, value-based focus Integration of domains of clinical information silos into common platform interfaced with common analytic engine
East Carolina Heart Institute Analytical platform encompasses all major cardiovascular data through common Web Access portal and entry mechanism, agnostic of the individual “Database” or “Registry” Integrated Clinical CV Dataset provides for cross-DB analysis and reporting
