CHRIS by the Numbers • 3.5 million transactions daily • 250,000 active Clients • 600,000+ Clients annually • 280,000+ active Referrals • 6,700+ CCAC staff using CHRIS • 1,800+ provincial provider and vendor users
Why a Document Management Solution? CCACs worked with a paper based system for each client- 600,000 active clients annually CCACs and Service Providers/Vendors communicated through faxing of millions of documents. CCACs need the ability to electronically share documents between Service Providers/ Vendors and Health Partners Enables the electronic health record - one client, one record 15
Implementation of a Provincial Document Management System Business Benefits for CCACs Increases the efficiency of CCAC staff Reduces the need for faxing Improves the management of client documents Allows CCAC staff to view documents directly from CHRIS Triage of incoming documents to link them to the client in CHRIS Will be used when transitioning clients between CCACs to transfer documents Allow documents to be safely shared with health partners (providers, LTCH’s, others) without the need to manually fax or transfer 16
CHRIS and Docushare- The Relationship is Born In 2010 Xerox’s Docushare application was chosen as the provincial document management solution to be used for integration with CHRIS. OACCAC began work with Xerox to ensure that the design of the document management system would allow CCACs to have a robust solution in place that was capable of handling all the potential triaging of documents now and in the future 17
CHRIS and Docushare- The Relationship is Born OACCAC engaged Central CCAC to gather information of current usage of the DocuShare solution OACCAC shared this information with Xerox and tasked them with designing a highly available solution to be the provincial standard Xerox proposed a design that allowed for redundancy at all levels of the solution 18
The Highly Available Solution The proposed design includes 2 servers for Docushare that are setup to be highly available. Meaning that if one server fails for whatever reason then the other server will automatically take over in its place The design also has 2 servers being used for the database for the same reasons as above Finally, the design calls for the use of a storage area network, with multiple disks, where all the CCAC’s documents will be stored. This too is a very redundant component that prevents a single point of failure in the solution As future versions of CHRIS are developed there will be greater integration with the document management system, therefore the need for this system to be highly available is heightened. Once DMS becomes an integrated part of the CCAC business it becomes a mission critical component that CCACs will need available at all times. 19
Current State of DocuShare Deployment NSM and Champlain CCAC currently deployed Toronto Central CCAC to deploy November 2011 when they deploy CHRIS 6 CCACs to deploy DocuShare by June 2012. Plan is to confirm the remaining CCACs within the next few months 20
North Simcoe Muskoka CCAC • One of 14 CCACs in Ontario • South Georgian Bay region, covers over 9200 square kilometers • Serves over 20,000 clients in a year • Highly mobile workforce: 150 visiting Case Managers, 60 home offices
NSM Implementation History • Home grown DMS in place since 2002 • fax server and digital copiers for scanning • Realized benefits of electronic document storage – universal access, mobility, sharing • Many customizations to software and processes • CHRIS implemented in 2008 • Lost integration with old client management system • Old system not scalable or robust, outdated, hard to support, not compatible with Windows 7
NSM Implementation • Hardware, software and configuration completed by OACCAC • NSM Project teams focused on: • process redesign • replacing old tools and methods • modifying processes to take advantage of new capabilities • naming and storage conventions • defining document types • determining storage levels and standards • supporting tools acquisition and implementation • print to PDF, scan to PDF, save to ZIP, CSP opener • infrastructure reconfiguration and transition • fax server, copiers, file shares, phase out old apps, active workflows
NSM Implementation • Training – 3 weeks • Hands-on training for all staff • 3-5 hour sessions depending on role • Primarily focused on process changes • Big Bang conversion – went live June 7 • Data Migration • 1.5 million documents, 285 GB • 53,300 client folders • Conversion from TIFF to PDF • Contracted out to 3rd party DocuShare System Integrator • Performed in 3 phase approach over 6 week period
The SolutionOACCAC Developed “Triage Tool” for filing incoming documents to DocuShare
Our Experience • Change resistance – staff unwilling to let go of old methods and habits • Pre-requisites not adopted early, increasing learning curve at migration • Staff desiring more robust features are using DocuShare GUI more often than basic CHRIS Document Library view • Change was workload-neutral from old system
Benefits • Document access from with CHRIS • Tasks about a document link to the document • Consistency in document naming and filing • Automatic generation of follow-up tasks • Rapidly take advantage of future capabilities • Electronic document exchange with partners
Future Vision • Future CHRIS and HPG integrations • Community Health Portal • Client Service Report Upload • HPG External Communication • Referral Package Communication • Extend DocuShare for managing administrative documents • Take full advantage of future DocuShare enhancements
Summary CHRIS and the DocuShare DMS: • Positions the CCACs for the future • Supports vision of eHealth • Will be further deployed within CCAC sector • Capabilities of solution will continue to grow and evolve together We look forward to continuing our partnership with Xerox and the DocuShare solution.
