  10. FACA Updates HITPC QualityMeasuresWorkgroup The 2014 draft work plan for the first two quarters includes certification to support quality reporting in LTPAC and BH settings. HITPC Certification and Adoption On Feb. 7th, the Workgroup had an in-depth discussion of the Behavioral Health EHR Certification Draft Recommendations one at a time. Their objective was to determine which of the proposed areas of certification are “key heath IT capability needed” in the Behavioral Health care setting. The sixth proposed key area was Clinical Quality Measures • The group could not reach consensus on this topic, so ONC will ask the Quality Measures WG to have a representative speak regarding opportunities for LTPAC and BH settings as they relate to future work.

  11. FACA Meeting Updates, cont’d… HITPC Certification and Adoption, continued The LTPAC/BH discussion was continued in the Feb. 14th meeting. The work group will finalize LTPAC/BH EHR certification recommendations by the next meeting.

  15. 2015 EHR Certification Criteria Proposed Rule • Released for public comment on Feb. 21 2014: http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2014-02-26/pdf/2014-03959.pdf • Voluntary certification program; not tied to MU3 • Timeline provides ONC opportunity to shift regulatory approach to a more incremental and frequent approach of publishing rules (every 12 to 18 months) • Proposed new capabilities, standards-based requirements and public comment solicitations on potential future certification criteria included in this proposed rule will help inform ONC on what to consider for inclusion for the 2017 Edition in support of MU3 (to be published by Fall 2014) • Public Comments due April 28, 2014 via www.regulations.gov • 2015 Final rule to be published by Summer 2014 • 2017 NPRM to be published by Fall 2014

  16. 2015 EHR Certification Criteria Proposed Rule:Specific Highlights • New certification criteria to support patient population filtering of clinical quality measures • New and updated implementation specification for several certification criteria including ToC, CDS, and Public Health reporting • Policy revisions that changes certification approach for ToC • Path for certification of ‘non-MU’ EHR technology • Codifies ONC regulatory guidance provided in FAQ issued in 2014 Edition Final Rule • Revision to 2014 Edition syndromic surveillance certification criterion • Closer alignment with other HHS program policies(e.g. CLIA) and to address OIG recommendations • Discontinuation of ‘Complete EHR’ definition and issuance • Solicit comment on new capabilities and standards-based requirements for potential future certification criteria

  17. 2015 Proposed Rule: Updated C-CDA Standard • Proposes the adoption of the updated CCDA standard (current in ballot) in 170.205(a): Patient Summary Record to include the new sections & templates: • New document templates: Care Plan; Referral Note; Transfer Summary • New sections for: Goals; Health Concerns; Health Status Evaluation/ Outcomes; Mental Status; Nutrition; Physical Findings of Skin • Proposes reference use of new standard in proposed 2015 Edition ToC Certification criterion as well as three other certification criteria: VDT, Clinical Summary and Data Portability • Proposes EHR technology must be capable of including the UDI for patient’s implantable device(s) as data within a CCDA formatted document

  18. An Outreach and Educational Campaign on Electronic Health Information Exchange for Persons Receiving Long-Term/Post-Acute Care Services Standards and Interoperability Framework Longitudinal Coordination Care Workgroup Pilots Call March 3, 2014 Jennie Harvell, HHS/ASPE

  19. Educational Campaign on Electronic HIE in LTPAC Agenda • Brief overview of Need for HIE with and by LTPAC • Barriers to HIE by LTPAC • Draft HIE Curriculum for LTPAC Providers and Methods of Delivery and Evaluation • Discussion: HIE education/support provided and/or needed in Pilot Sites

  20. Overview of Need • Health Information Exchange (HIE) with and by LTPAC and BH providers is necessary to support transitions of care (ToC) and instances of shared care. • Experts in ToC identify “improving information flow and exchange” as the most important tool to improve care transitions. • Interoperable HIE has the potential to empower individuals and increase transparency; enhance the ability of health care providers, payers, and regulators to study care delivery and payment systems; and achieve improvements in care, efficiency, and population health. Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology

  21. Overview of Need • Health Information Exchange at times of ToC and during shared care is often incomplete and impacts quality, safety, and costs of care: • Significant percentage of adverse drug events (ADEs) occur at times of ToC and resulting in hospital readmissions and billions in unnecessary costs. • Information is often missing when: • multiple physicians treat patients following a hospital discharge,and • the patient is sent to the Emergency Department. Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology

  22. Overview of Need • Health information exchange is expected to: • improve communication; • reduce medication errors and adverse drug events, unnecessary and redundant tests/procedures, avoidable hospitalizations and emergency room visits; and • reduce health care costs. Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology

  23. Barriers to HIE with and by LTPAC • While some LTPAC providers use health IT and EHRs, their use lags behind that of physicians and acute care hospitals, and use of HIE is even less common. • Approximately 43% of nursing homes (NHs) and home health agencies (HHAs) are reported to have some type of EHR. Resnick et al 2009 (for NHs) and 2010 (for HHAs). • Only 6% of long-term acute care hospitals, 4% of rehabilitation hospitals, and 2% of psychiatric hospitals have a basic EHR system. • EHRs (without HIE capabilities) are estimated to cost less than 1% of revenues for for-profit mid-size NH chain providers and HIE costs have declined significantly. • There is widespread recognition (by providers and State and Federal officials) that many LTPAC providers lack important information about HIT/EHRs and HIE, and that this a key barrier to their participation in HIE. • Premise: Providing education/information about HIT/EHRs/HIE to LTPAC providers will accelerate their engagement in HIE. Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology

  24. Proposal: Pilot an HIE Curriculum focusing on Exchange with LTPAC • Pilot an outreach and education campaign that focuses on HIE between LTPAC providers and others. • The curriculum would target: • LTPAC providers (i.e., NHs, long-term care hospitals, in-patient rehabilitation facilities, HHAs, and home and community based providers); and • their health information trading partners (e.g., physicians, hospitals, State Health Information Exchange Organizations, Medicaid programs, etc.). • The curriculum would be piloted using different delivery methods: Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology

  25. Proposal: Pilot a HIE Curriculum focusing on Exchange with LTPAC • The curriculum would include the following topics from the following perspectives: • Federal perspective: includes information on: benefits of HIE, HIT/EHR adoption and use in LTPAC, business drivers for HIE, activities for accelerating HIE (e.g., incentives, program requirements, HIT standards, EHR certification, and costs). • Local LTPAC Provider Perspective: includes information on: considerations/lessons learned during HIT/EHR planning, acquisition, and implementation (e.g., considerations and impact on work force, work flow, costs/benefits, and barriers/stumbling blocks and solutions (if any)). • State Perspectives: includes information on: HIE activities the State has implemented/will implement that involve LTPAC providers and the type of information exchanged, technology used and methods for obtaining/accessing the technology, technology/exchange costs to the LTPAC provider, issues encountered in implementing the HIE activity and their resolution, and how the LTPAC provider can learn more. Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology

  26. Delivery Method and Evaluation Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology

  27. Discussion and Feedback • Do you agree with the premise that providing information about HIT/EHRs/HIE will accelerate provider participation in HIE activities? • Have Pilot sites identified the need for education on HIT/HIE among program participants? If so, for which participants? • What types of education/information have pilot participants needed? • What methods have been used to deliver needed information to pilot participants? • Have pilot sites targeted their education efforts to certain types of pilot participants? • How do/could pilot sites assessed the effectiveness of their educational efforts? • What resources have been/could be leveraged to support the delivery of needed education/information to pilot participants?
