VTE/StrokeMeaningful Use Clinical Rules 2014 Guidelines Strategic – Proactive Review and Setup
What to expect from this webinar • Review of UMLS (2014 requirements) • And formerly HITSP • Clinical Quality Measures review • Value Set review • Evaluate site specific criteria to implement 5 clinical decision support “interventions” • MU Stage II requirement • End with clear understanding and mini-toolset to initiate/finalize site specific conversations regarding these MU Stage II requirements Note: the Client Server 5.66 platform was utilized for the basis of this presentation
What not to expect… • WILL NOT review global Meaningful Use items • WILL NOT interpret ARRA/CMS code • WILL NOT provide actual Plug-N-Play rules for production • Due to the nature and complexity of these rules, future Webinars will cover actual build and rollout Advanced Rules - VTE-Stroke Deployment
HITSP vs. UMLS • Healthcare Information Technology Standards Panel (HITSP) • Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) • RxNorm • LOINC • SNOMED • ICD-9 • ICD-10 “..The value sets contain all the data elements previously found in HITSP TN906 v1.1 specifications. Upon reviewing the value sets, it will be clear that the reliance on codified data has increased exponentially. National and international standards are becoming a necessity for exchanging data for interoperability and for quality reporting. “
Best Practices and Data Capture MEDITECH's Best Practice documents contain workflow methods which have been vetted through numerous clinical and customer representatives. The corresponding SQL reports have been created with precise alignment to the workflow methods found within the Best Practice documents in conformance with the 2014 specifications.1
2014 MU Clinical Decision Support • “Use clinical decision support to improve performance on high-priority health conditions” [For Stage II]…Implement 5 clinical decision support interventions related to 4 or more clinical quality measures, if applicable, at a relevant point in patient care for the entire EHR reporting period.
Stroke CQM - summary • Stroke-2 (ischemic) • Discharged on Antithrombotic Therapy • Stroke-3 (ischemic) • Discharged on Anticoagulation Therapy • Atrial Fibrillation/Flutter • Stroke-4 (ischemic) • Thrombotic Therapy – 2 hr arrival/3 hr IV t-PA • Stroke-5 (ischemic) • Antithrombotic therapy by end of hospital day 2 • Stroke-6 (ischemic) • Discharged on Statin Medication (LDL>100 or prior use) • Stroke-8 (ischemic/hemorrhagic) • Stroke Education • Stroke-10 (ischemic/hemorrhagic) • Assessed for Rehabilitation
A word about Value Sets… You are not required to use all items in a value set in your system. You can choose to use only those which most closely match your workflow and patient needs. However, any items you do include must be mapped to the standard nomenclature. For example, when creating a group response for contraindications for ordering a medication, all of the reasons in the value set do not have to be included. The elements in the group response must all come from the value set and must all be mapped to the nomenclature specified in the value set.1 1Data Capture for Stroke/VTE Measures, MEDITECH CS Best Practice Documentation

Rule Logic content • Patient age • Resuscitation status • Problem List • Provider – yes/no • Diagnosis vs. Problem List • Drug Type (AHFS Classification) • Inpatient “active” medication orders • Ambulatory “active” medication orders • “Confirmed VTE” • Procedure Status vs. SNOMED CT Value Set content • Monitored LAB values
Challenges • Site Specific Workflow • Patient Assessments (VTE/Stroke) • Performed when and by whom • Dictionary Specific Build • Standardization for multi-site facilities • Provider/Physician Expectations • Required at Order Entry? • Admission criteria • Inclusion/Exclusion (e.g. ICU direct admit)
Challenges • Medication Identification – PHA Drug Formulary Drug Type Customer Defined Parameter
Challenges • Medication Identification – PHA Drug Formulary • Value Set differences (HITSP/VSAC) • Stroke has Warfarin, VTE DOES NOT!
Challenges • Medication Identification – RXM Drug Drug Type
Challenges • “Provider” Identification • MIS User Dictionary • Profile • This User is Provider
Challenges • “Diagnosis” Identification • Typically done post discharge in ABS by Coders • Problem List • New Keywords for rules (Magic and CS) • [f ptprob current]
Challenges • “Confirmed” VTE • What determines a “complete”/”reported” exam and/or procedure • At what point does the Status change • Role based, multi-collaborative process
Challenges • Where Rules are attached Remember …relevant point in patient care… • POM Enabled • OE/OM Categories • MED • LAB • MIC • RAD • PHA/POM Enabled Rules • “Global” in PHA Customer Defined Parameters • Less Popular - Underutilized • PHA Refill Rules • LAB Verify Rules
Example – Stroke-2 (NQF 0435) • Description • Ischemic stroke patients prescribed antithrombotic therapy at hospital discharge. • Initial Patient Population • Patients admitted to the hospital for inpatient acute care with a principal diagnosis code for ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke with hospital stays <= 120 days during the measurement period for patients age 18 and older at the time of hospital admission.
Example – Stroke-2 (NQF 0435) • NQF 0435 Measure captures patients who are prescribed antithrombotic therapy at discharge. • In the 2011 specifications, HITSP provided a SNOMED code to use to document the provider’s intention to send the patient home on a specific discharge medication. This SNOMED was INT and was used in a query on an order in POM. This allowed an alternate workflow to documenting discharge medications in discharge. However, this SNOMED code is not included in the 2014 specifications. Therefore, no alternate workflow is possible. All discharge medications must be documented through the Discharge routine.
Example – Stroke-2 (NQF 0435) • Rule Logic must contain • Ischemic Stroke “diagnosis” • NOT Comfort Care (resuscitation order) • Patient age > 18 • Length of Stay < 120 days • Antithrombotic therapy at discharge • Home Meds/Discharged Meds
Example – VTE-3 (NQF 0373) • Description • This measure assesses the number of patients diagnosed with confirmed VTE who received overlaps of parenteral (intravenous [IV] or subcutaneous [subcu]) anticoagulation and warfarin therapies. Patients who received fewer than five days of overlap therapy should be discharged on both medications or have a reason for discontinuation of overlap therapy. Overlap therapy should be administered for at least five days with an international normalized ratio (INR) greater than or equal to two prior to discontinuation of the parenteral anticoagulation therapy, discharged on both medications, or have a reason for discontinuation of overlap therapy. • Initial Patient Population • Patients with a diagnosis code for venous thromboembolism (VTE), a patient age greater than or equal to 18 years, and a length of stay less than or equal to 120 days.
Example – VTE-3 (NQF 0373) • NQF 0373 Measure captures patients who are prescribed antithrombotic therapy at discharge. • In the 2011 specifications, HITSP provided a SNOMED code to use to document the provider’s intention to send the patient home on a specified discharge medication. This SNOMED was INT 40 and was used in a query on an order in POM. This allowed an alternate workflow to documenting discharge medications in discharge. However, this SNOMED code is not included in the 2014 specifications. Therefore, no alternate workflow is possible. All discharge medications must be documented through the Discharge routine.
Example – VTE-3 (NQF 0373) • Rule Logic must contain • Confirmed VTE • NOT Comfort Care (resuscitation order) • Patient age > 18 • Length of Stay < 120 days • 5+ days with INR > 2 • Inpatient IV Anticoagulant Therapy • Inpatient PO Anticoagulant Therapy • Ambulatory PO Anticoagulant Therapy

What does the Future Hold • PotentialMEDITECH Functionality Additions • Rule Evaluation • At “Open Chart” via EMR • Discharge Functionality • Multi-collaborative • DON’T GET US STARTED! • Stage 3 Recommendations • “…Implement 15 clinical decision support interventions or guidance related to five or more clinical quality measures that are presented at a relevant point in patient care for the entire EHR reporting period…”2 2 SGRP113: Clinical Decision Support, Draft Recommendations Meaningful Use Stage 3, Paul Tang et al
