  19. EHR Adoption Reality Check “Four percent of physicians reported having an extensive, fully functional electronic records system, and 13% reported having a basic system.” DesRoches, Campbell, et al. July 2008 New England Journal of Medicine HIMSS 2010

  21. Health Information Liquidity “EHRs are necessary but not sufficient for interoperability” Penfield, Anderson, Edmunds & Belanger January 2009 Booz Allen Hamlilton HIMSS 2010

  22. Crossing the Health Care IT Chasm “Providers will appropriately be drawn to IT only if, where and when it can be shown to enable them to do their jobs more effectively.” Stead & Lin February 2009 National Academies Press HIMSS 2010

  23. Making Smart Health Care IT Investments “We need to have more of an ‘enterprise’ approach to health IT implementation, but most of the health care industry isn’t part of an enterprise.” Halamka March-April 2009 Health Affairs HIMSS 2010

  24. Deciding When to Pursue and EHR “Rushing to the EHR solely to optimize the amount of incentive funding is a recipe for disaster.” Rishel September 2009 Gartner Industry Research HIMSS 2010

  31. TUESDAY, 10:00 – 10:50AM Joyce Beck, MS, CEO NHIN Connectivity Through The Eyes Of A Patient How Connectivity Improves Patient Care Southeast Nebraska Health Information Exchange (SENHIE)

  32. Reason for Demonstration • Test Data had only been sent on the NHIN between facilities • Information Technology said it would work • There were doubts from other HIE’s in Nebraska about NHIN • If NHIN was to be endorsed I had to see it myself • If our actions do not help a patient than all is for nothing HIMSS 2010

  33. Wellness Check Began at Thayer County Health Services in Hebron, Nebraska • Dr. Bryan Hubl ordered lab test in Hebron for wellness check • Lab results obtained and placed in EHR in Hebron • Lab results then made available to Redwood Mednet in California for actual wellness exam • Information also available on USB to fulfill meaningful use HIMSS 2010

  34. Second Step of Trip was Travel to Healdsburg, California for Wellness and Radiology Exam • Wellness exam completed by Dr. Jeff Meckler at Alliance Medical Center, Healdsburg, California • Lab results and patient visit summary from Thayer County retrieved by Redwood MedNet via CONNECT gateway • Results of labs and x-ray of left hip taken in Healdsburg placed in Alliance Medical Center EHR • Results could be placed on USBbracelet at patient request HIMSS 2010

  35. Final Step • Returned to Thayer County Health Services to be seen by Dr. Hubl • Wellness exam as well as results of x-ray was available to Dr. Hubl via the NHIN therefore no duplication of testing necessary • Dr. Hubl was able to recommend treatment based on information gathered in both Hebron, Nebraska and Healdsburg, California HIMSS 2010

  36. Conclusion • Information flowed from one facility to another without difficulty • Duplication of testing was avoided due to availability of information via the NHIN and patient USB device • Ease of availability of medical information provided better patient care • The NHIN is functioning, provides patients with the information needed HIMSS 2010
