  12. Session Overview • Health Story interoperability strategy • How Health Story leads to meaningful use • What this means for you

  13. Health Story Interoperability Strategy

  14. What is Meaningful Use? “Meaningful use, in the long-term, is when EHRs are used by health care providers to improve patient care, safety and quality.” David Blumenthal, MD National Coordinator for HIT

  15. Meaningful Use ≈ Data Reuse patient care quality reporting clinical decision support outcomes analysis research billing/claims adjudication

  16. Meaningful Use ≈ Data Reuse “If you can not measure it, you can not improve it.” Lord Kelvin (1824-1907)

  17. The Health Story Project • Non profit, industry alliance • Founded 2007 • Associate Charter Agreement: HL7 • Sponsor HL7 standards for flow of information between narrative and EMR systems • Member organizations provide direction

  18. Health Story Members Founding Members Promoters Contributors Aprima Software | Scribe Healthcare Technologies All Type | Arrendale Associates | BayScribe Documentation Services Group | Healthline, Inc. Broward Sheridan Technical Center | MD-IT New England Medical Transcription | Sten-Tel, Inc. Participants

  19. Health Story: Guiding Principles 1. Inclusive and open process 2. Leverage current technology investments 3. Enable broad stakeholder engagement 4. Provide a glide path for incremental interoperability 5. Minimize disruption to clinician workflow 6. Base strategy on existing standards 7. Use proven technology

  20. Health Story: Incremental Interoperability EHR Repository Disease, DF-00000 Metabolic Disease, D6-00000 Clinical Applications Disorder of carbohydrate metabolism, D6-50000 Disorder of glucose metabolism, D6-50100 HIMApplications Diabetes Mellitus, DB-61000 SNOMED CT Type 1, DB-61010 Neonatal, DB75110 Carpenter Syndrome, DB-02324 Insulin dependant type IA, DB-61020

  21. HL7 Clinical Document Architecture • Health Story specifications are based on HL7 CDA • CDA is “just right” • Single standard for entire EHR is too broad • Multiple standards and/or messages for each EHR function may be too difficult to implement

  22. HL7 Clinical Document Architecture • Other benefits of CDA: • Normative HL7 standard since 2000 • Widely implemented • Provides a gentle on-ramp to information exchange • Providesmechanism for inserting evidence-based medicine directly into the process of care • Top down strategy lets you implement once and reuse many times for new scenarios

  23. Based on HL7 CDA Clinical Document Architecture supports: Human readable document Machine-processable data (e.g. discrete reportable transcription) Cross platform and application independent Health Story Approach Standardize through ANSI SDO (HL7 ballot) Support Meaningful Use

  24. Health Story Documents Blend between free form text and fully structured documentation that represent the thought process, and capture the clinical facts Health Story makes “discrete reportable transcription” work

  25. Minimal Document for Exchange <recordTarget> <patientRole> ... <patient> <name> <given>Adam</given> <family>Everyman</family> </name> </patient> </patientRole> </recordTarget>

  28. Health Story and Meaningful Use • Required data is in clinical notes • Physicians do not write summaries (CCR & CCD) • Summary data is drawn from many sources, including clinical notes • Some data may, increasingly, be direct-physician entered • Data required for Meaningful Use can be captured in clinical notes and integrated into the EHR • Natural language processing: it’s real, it works, it’s available and it works very well in the context of structured CDA templates • Abstractors, computer assisted coding, transcription knowledge workers: • same workflow, altered coding focus • CDA templates ensure consistency, conformance • Template-driven dictation • Standard templates give real-time feedback to dictation physicians • Ensure conformance, provide structured data

  29. Templated CDA is the basis for ... • HITSP/C28 Emergency Care Summary • HITSP/C32 - Summary Documents Using HL7 CCD • HITSP/C38 - Patient Level Quality Data Document Using IHE Medical Summary (XDS-MS) • HITSP/C48 Encounter Document constructs • HITSP/C84 Consult and History & Physical Note Document • HITSP/C78 Immunization Document • HITSP/C74 PHRM • HITSP/C62 Scanned document • Consult Note • Continuity of Care Document • Diagnostic Imaging Report • Discharge Summary • Healthcare-associated Infections, Public Health Case Reports • History and Physical • Operative Note • Personal Health Monitoring • Plan-2-Plan Personal Health Record • Procedure Note • Quality Reporting Document • Minimum Data Set • Unstructured Documents • … and more …

  34. Path to Meaningful Use “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” Lao-tzu, The Way of Lao-tzu Chinese philosopher (604 BX – 531 BC)

  35. Health Story  Meaningful Use • Health Story’s path to Meaningful Use • Hit the ground running with basic CDA, to meet the needs of front line clinicians • Incrementally layer discrete data elements into CDA documents

  36. Incrementalism Works for the Internet

  37. Why Health Story? HL7 Implementation Guide for CDA R2: Procedure Note Sample: Endoscopy Report Judy Logan Associate Professor Oregon Health & Science University

  38. What this means for you

  39. Actionable Next Steps Is your transcription supplier capable of producing an HL7 CDA document? Is your EHR/document management system capable of receiving an HL7 CDA document? Requirements:

  40. Actionable Next Steps • Get involved in Health Story • Lead the industry • Weigh in on development priorities • Project is interested in tracking and highlighting implementations

  41. In Summary • A physician’s practical • need for fast and easy • methods for creating • clinical documentation The enterprise need for structured and coded information capture to support meaningful use Computer image courtesy of M*Modal
