(Key elements may include neighborhood centers/clinics, mobile units, 24/7 access, service for under/uninsured, and possible roles for retired physicians and major employers.) Develop a method for educating non-emergent patients to use the appropriate care settings.

Status Report: Key Accomplishments • Establishment of the Dunbar United Way House… • Opening of the East Fort Myers United Way House… • Renewal of Lee We Care as the Volunteer Health Care Connections specialty referral program serving patients living below poverty level… • Establishment of a pediatric Healthy Living and Weight Management Clinic utilizing fixed sites and a regional Ronald McDonald mobile van… • Regional expansion of the CenteringPregnancy pre-natal care program… • Launch of Area Health Education Centers smoking cessation program… • Institution of new emergency room patient follow-up referral process… • Doubling of breast and cervical cancer screenings for uninsured low-income women under the Healthy Body-Healthy Soul Program… • Offering of pre-school dental exams and annual school physicals… • Launch of three First Choice Pediatrics offices in Lee County.

  40. Status Report: Barriers/Challenges • Current provider shortages, particularly for adult medicine, as a function of a physician “unfriendly” professional environment… • Rapid growth of the number of uninsured people in Lee County @ 30%+ • Rising level of uncompensated care given by primary care providers in Lee County (e.g.-LMHS = $68 million/FHC = $14.2 million)… • Uncertainty of revenue sources to pay for uninsured patient care (e.g.- Low Income Pool, DSH, Medicare reimbursement, etc.)… • Lack of adult medicine specialists to provide care for working uninsured patients earning income just above the poverty level… • Lack of a regional electronic health records “network” to promote medical homes and access to preventive medical care for all patients… • Limited hours of primary care providers coupled with patient work schedule and transportation challenges.

  45. Electronic Medical Record Develop a method for transferring electronic patient information among physicians, caregivers, and facilities to improve delivery of care and transition of patients between acute care settings and other locations. LMHS implements infrastructure and platform to establish a universal medical record, which may include smart card technology.

  46. Status Report: The Broader Context • The Broader Context - • National focus on the issue of electronic medical records, interoperability across care settings • A critical success factor to improving patient safety, healthcare cost efficiency • Until recently, this couldn’t be accomplished • Much work being done nationally on this topic • Very complex • Integrated patient medical record more relevant, needed more than ever before

Status Report: Challenges Nationally • No sustainable financial model for Regional Health Information Exchanges (RHIOs) • No appetite for a national patient identifier number • Concerns about competition/data sharing • Security/confidentiality concerns • Patient information custodial concerns • Inadequate focus on clinical intuitiveness/usability

  48. Status Report: Successes Locally • Community Communication Infrastructure Success with Embarq • County patient identifier numbering system – managed by LMHS - exists, 1 million + citizens, very high integrity • Managed, secure, reliable IT environment in place • Successful track record with physicians – Net Access, Heartlab, etc. • Community Healthcare IT Draft Strategy defined, Integrated Software Platform Selected - 1st phase of the install underway – Epic for Lee Physician Group • Significant interest from some non-employed physicians to take advantage of the LMHS Next Generation integrated Electronic Medial Record in their practice • Additional strategy of building interfaces for non-integrated physician electronic records in our community • We have largely overcome the National RHIO challenges in our community
