Overview • Review the reasons advancing Health Information Technology • adoption • Provide a brief update on federal initiatives involving Health • Information Technology (HIT) • Review the role of the Regional Extension Center in assisting • clinicians’ move to meaningful use of HIT • Examine the Kentucky Health Information Exchange and • discuss the current status 2
Why Health Information Technology (HIT)? • Implementation of HIT is proposed as a way to provide additional information to clinicians to facilitate a reduction in serious medical errors, rising healthcare costs and system inefficiencies. • (Thompson, 2004) • Estimate annual $10.6 billion outpatient savings and $31.2 billion inpatient savings based on HIT efficiency benefits (Girosi, Meili,& Scoville, 2005) • President Bush State of the Union (Jan 2006) President Obama State of the Union (Jan 2010) 3
Where Healthcare is Going • Attempts to change how providers are paid have several common elements: • All payments are value based even if the major goal is cost containment; • It is assumed that medical guidelines, standards and quality measures will play important roles in management; • All systems require real-time electronic medical records; • Most of the systems use teams to provide care. 4
National Quality Strategy (NQS) The Affordable Care Act (Public Law 111-148) calls on the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to establish a national quality strategy and a comprehensive strategic plan (the “National Quality Strategy”) and to identify priorities to improve the delivery of health care services, patient health outcomes, and population health. Affordable Care Act signed March 31, 2010 5
National Quality Strategy Priorities • Ensuring that each person and family is engaged as partners in their care. • Promoting effective communication and coordination of care. • Promoting the mosteffective prevention and treatment practices for the leading causes of mortality, starting with cardiovascular disease.
National Quality Strategy Priorities • Working with communities to promote wide use of best practices to enable healthy living. • Making quality care more affordable for individuals, families, employers, and governments by developing and spreading new health care delivery models. • Making care safer by reducing harm caused in the delivery of care.
Policies and Infrastructure needed to Support the National Quality Strategy • Payment • Public Reporting • Quality Improvement/Technical Assistance • Certification, Accreditation, and Regulation • Consumer Incentives and Benefit Designs • Measurement of Care Processes and Outcomes • Health Information Technology • Evaluation and Feedback • Training, Professional Certification, and Workforce and Capacity Development • Promoting Innovation and Rapid-Cycle Learning 9

Pillars of Meaningful Use Improve Public Health Improve Quality Improve Care Coordination Ensure privacy and security Engage Patients
Pillars of Meaningful Use Explained 1) Improve quality, safety, efficiency, and reduce health disparities • Provide access to comprehensive patient health data for patient’s health care team • Use evidence-based order sets and CPOE • Apply clinical decision support at the point of care • Generate lists of patients who need care and use them to reach out to patients 2) Engage patients and families • Provide patients and families with timely access to data, knowledge, and tools to make informed decisions and to manage their health 3) Improve care coordination • Exchange meaningful clinical information among professional health care team 4) Improve population and public health • Submit immunization, syndromic surveillance and reportable disease data to public health agencies 5) Ensure privacy and security protection for personal health information • Protect confidential information through operating policies, procedures, and technologies • Provide transparency of data sharing to patient
Kentucky Regional Extension Center (KY-REC) Strategic Framework Vision Statement The long-term vision of Kentucky Regional Extension Center is to improve the quality and value of health care for the people of Kentucky and to serve as a model for other areas that face similar challenges. Mission Statement The Kentucky Regional Extension Center based at the University of Kentucky will assist primary care providers and critical access/rural hospitals with EHR adoption, HIE participation, and achievement of meaningful use. 15

Clinical Quality Measures In addition to the 20 core and menu measures, providers must report 6 clinical quality measures: • 3 core quality measures • and an additional 3 from a set of 38. 23
Meaningful Use Stage 2: The Escalator Data Capture & Sharing Add in key elements of NQS/delivery system reforms 24
Medicare Incentive Payment Schedule Fall 2010 EHR vendors receive certification April 2011 Attestation of meaningful use begins 2011-2012 Clinicians can begin using a certified EHR in a meaningful Manner (must use for 90 days) 2010 2011 Jan. 2011 Registration with CMS begins May 2011 CMS begins payments 25

Health Information Exchange: • The electronic movement of health-related data and information among organizations according to agreed standards, protocols, and other criteria (ONC) 28
eHealth and Health Information Exchange in Kentucky • TODAY Kentucky has a LIVE operational state-wide health information exchange because… • eHealth Milestones • March/2005 • Legislation (Senate Bill 2) to create a secure interoperable statewide electronic health network • Kentucky eHealth Network Board (KeHN) • Appointment of Health Information Exchange committee • 2007 – 2008 • Medicaid Transformation Grant Funding – $4.9 million • Built the technical infrastructure for the KHIE • 2009 • ARRA/HITECH Funding - $9.75 million • Provides Kentucky the advantage in progressing towards STATE-wide HIE • Governor’s Office of Electronic Health Information • Executive Order of the Governor • Housed in the Cabinet for Health & Family Services 29
How the Exchange ‘Works’ • Data Sharing! • ADT’s/Demographics • Populate the Community/Master Patient Index • Record Locator Service • Locates all the patient encounters • Consolidates patient information for presentation to the provider • Access • KHIE Community Portal/Virtual Health Record • Provider EHR Portal/Dashboard 30
KHIE Goal Provide HIE Connectivity to as many providers as possible over the next two years with little or no startup cost to the providers 32
