ANNUAL CONFERENCE INDIANA ASSOCIATION for HEALTHCARE QUALITY May 1, 2008 Personal Health Record and Quality
THE MEDICAL RECORD • Provider Medical Record is their property and maintains their business aspects • Only licensed and authorized individuals document in the MR • Privacy
MEDICAL RECORD • Media is Paper, electronic or hybrid • Electronic EHR/EMR are usually proprietary • Facilities do not share data between
Regional Health Exchange Organization (RHIO) • RHIO share information from those facilities that are shared within their connectivity • Interoperability is the main problem • Currently used only in emergency situations
PATIENT PORTALS • Some facilities with EHR/EMR allow patient access to see information • via patient portals but do not allow them to add to information/record • Patient may be tracking home activities but not remember to provide physicians the information
CONSUMERISM BOOM of INTERNET • General public more informed • Patients research their disorders • Millions of health websites • WebMD, NLM, disease sites, etc • Patients want to be engaged in their own care • Consumer empowerment
Consumer Empowered • Consumers know and control of their financial information but do not control or know about health information
ERA OF TRANSPARENCY Reported data can now publicly viewed • Medical Errors • Patient Safety Concerns • Mortality • Quality Indicators (Core Measures) • Pricing
CURRENTLY Consumer Role HCPs ask patients to provide their health details at the initial patient visit or during an examination
Problem with Current System • Based on recall of patient at that time • Medications • Surgery Dates • Sicker patients have more to recall • Elderly • Updates to the HCPs record are only based on encounters with that particular HCP or facility
The PROBLEM • Incomplete or incorrect patient information can impede HCPs ability to provide quality care • Decentralized Patient Information • Patients see more than one HCP • Mobile society • Select in-network provider • New Insurance • Provider leaves network
Quality Concern • Missing or incorrect information could result in an incorrect Diagnosis • An incorrect diagnosis can result in and incorrect Treatment plan • An incorrect treatment plan could result in poor patient outcome • Medication Reconciliation clarification
Potential Solution • Personal Health Record • Shared during initial visit • Used to update HCP records during subsequent visits • Win-Win • HCP has complete information • Patient is more involved • Patient receives better care
PHR • Not based on memory • Contains additional information • Over the counter medication • Herbals • Exercise habits • Preferences, such as a living will • Home Monitoring • Lifestyle activities/habits
PERSONAL HEALTH RECORD A collection of life-long information about a person’s own health, or the health of someone they care for, such as a parent or child that is needed by individuals to make health decisions. The person actively owns, manages and maintains the PHR which comes from healthcare providers and the individual. The PHR is separate from and does not replace the legal record of any provider.
BENEFITS • Patient empowerment • Improved patient-provider relationships • Enhanced patient safety: • Comprehensive health information in one location • Allergies, medications, and care plans in a PHR are available to each provider. • Health information privacy (Endsley et al., 2006, p. 60).” • Cost savings • The PHR is owned by the patient
PHR MEDIA • Paper – notebook • Electronic CD-Rom, Memory stick, network • Web-based
PHR METHODOLOGY • Tethered – PHR which is linked to a facility and populated by the facility data and housed on their system • Untethered – PHR which can be transmitted or submitted anywhere
Current PHR trend for data Consumer initiated Provider Insurer–based on billing data Employer-based on billing data Medicare- based on billing data
