2. The Challenge: Silos of Information

3. Silos of Information Data delivered to immunization registry Jane Receives Immunizations @ Health Department Jane Receives Immunizations and other care (measurements, labs, diagnoses, etc) @ Clinical Practice Immunization Registry Data delivered to EMR Electronic Medical Record System

4. Silos of Information Registry Web Interface ??????????? Immunization Registry EMR Interface Electronic Medical Record System

5. INPC - Humble Beginnings • Regenstrief tasked in 1972 to “stitch” these silos of information together -> the Regenstrief Medical Record System (RMRS/Wishard) • In 1994, began stitching together information across institutions (INPC/Indianapolis) • In 2003, working towards stitching the state together (INPC/Indiana)

8. INPC System Design • Separate medical record vault per institution • Each vault in separate physical files, but centrally located • Standardized data structure – All use same software and observation codes • Patient demographics linking via global registry • Combine on the fly when needed

9. INPC – Participants • Includes 17 hospitals from the 5 major Indianapolis hospital systems (95% of non-office care) • National and regional laboratories • Includes county and state public health departments • 35% of outpatient practices • Both major cardiology referral centers • Four homeless care centers

10. INPC hospital participants Heart Center of Indiana Rx data The Indiana Heart Hospital In progress MCHD Quest LabCorp Health Department Practice/Clinic Hospital

11. A “Big” Repository by US Standards • In the system: • 1.3 million patients, 5 million registration “events” • 24 million orders • 660 million coded results • 12 million dictated reports • 8.8 million radiology reports • 25 million prescriptions • 480,000 EKG tracings • 45 million radiology images • Added Per Year: • 600,000 ambulatory encounters • 50,000 inpatient encounters

12. Docs4Docs - Links to office practices • Results delivery service (Docs4Docs) • Results flow through INPC central to Docs4Docs and are routed to MD in-boxes • All hospitals send reports through same mechanism • Improved office efficiency and convenience • Eliminates mail and (almost) fax costs

13. Current status • 280 practices from 3 Hospital systems (about 1800 MDs) • Indiana Health Information Exchange (IHIE) is Regenstrief’s corporate partner • Scheduled for whole city by end of 2005 through IHIE • Uses same data streams as structured EMR – but simpler structure • Will provide links to all MDs for other purposes

16. Founding Members • Hospital systems • Clarian Health Partners • St. Francis Hospitals and Health System • St. Vincent Health Care • Wishard Health Services • Community Hospitals of Indiana • Government • City of Indianapolis • Public Health • State Department of Health • Marion County Health Department • Research • IU School of Medicine • Regenstrief Institute • Medical societies • Indianapolis Medical Society • Indiana State Medical Association • Economic development • BioCrossroads / Central Indiana Corporate Partnership

17. Benefits Accrue to Stakeholders Across System Annual economic value ($M) LONG-TERM ECONOMIC BENEFIT TO CENTRAL INDIANA WILL EXCEED $120M ANNUALLY Beneficiaries1 • Physicians • Hospitals • Patients • Physicians • Hospitals • Payors • Patients • Hospitals • Labs • Public health • Patients • Physicians • Hospitals • Labs • Patients • Researchers • Investigators • Pharma companies • Patients • Physicians • Hospitals • Payors • Employers • Patients • Physicians • Hospitals • Public health • Payors • Employers (1) Includes quality of care/other non-economic beneficiaries as well Source: BCG Analysis & Estimates
