Barriers to Interoperability Task Force Meeting Interoperability Measurement UpdateSeptember 25, 2015 Pre-Decisional Do not Cite or Distribute the Contents of This Presentation
Agenda • Describe draft interoperability measurement framework • Describe proposed measures to assess progress in the near-term and long-term • Discuss next steps for assessing progress in the near-term vs. long-term
Proposed Measures for Assessing Progress: 2015-2017 Key metrics The proportion of individuals, office-based physicians, hospitals, and behavioral health, long-term care, and post-acute care providers that: • Send, receive, find and use electronic health information; • Have electronic health information available from outside sources and make electronic health information available to outside sources; and • Use electronic health information from outside sources to inform decision-making Context: Ascertain the prevalence and strength of barriers to interoperability
Next steps for near-term measurement • Report on progress based upon current data sources • National survey data • Meaningful Use attestation data • Work with stakeholders and Federal Partners to refine measures and data sources, and address gaps • Shift to measures based on system usage • Expand scope to behavioral health care providers and LTPAC • Adoption and uptake of standards
Next steps • Engagement with Federal Partners and stakeholders to expand scope of measurement outside of care continuum and individuals • ASPE is supporting the development of interoperability measures for outside of traditional health care settings and patient generated data • Development of a comprehensive measurement framework to identify downstream impacts of interoperability via validated, external stakeholder driven process • NQF type process
Summary • The scope of near-term (2015-2017) interoperability measurement: • Sending, receiving, finding and using of electronic health information across the care continuum and individuals • Availability of information from outside sources and subsequent usage of that information • Barriers impeding interoperability • The scope of the long-term measurement (beyond 2017) expands: • Settings beyond healthcare • Impacts on key processes and outcomes sensitive to interoperability
