Why are Hospitals Implementing Electronic Health Record (EHR) Systems?
Federal EHR Strategy • President Bush’s goal in 2004 • “… an Electronic Health Record for every American by the year 2014. By computerizing health records, we can avoid dangerous medical mistakes, reduce costs, and improve care.” State of the Union address, Jan. 20, 2004 • President Barack Obama announces an audacious plan • “Computerize all health records within five years.” - during a speech at George Mason University on January 12, 2009 • February 17, 2009 – the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act (ARRA – Stimulus Bill) is signed into law • HITECH component of ARRA provides a $19B incentive program to stimulate the adoption and use of HIT, especially EHR’s • Dr. David Blumenthal appointed the new National Coordinator
Meaningful Use Overview • WHAT is Meaningful Use? • Meaningful Use (MU) means providers must demonstrate they are using certifiedElectronic Health Record (EHR) technologyin ways that can be measured significantly in quality and in quantity • Achieving MU determines whether an organization will receive payments from the Federal government under the Medicare EHR Incentive Program, Medicaid EHR Incentive Program, or both
Defining Meaningful Use (MU) • In a health information technology (HIT) context, there are three main components of Meaningful Use: • The use of a certified EHR in a meaningful manner, such as e-Prescribing • The use of certified EHR technology for electronic exchange of health information to improve quality and coordination of health care • The use of certified EHR technology to submit Clinical Quality and other measures • Achieving Meaningful Use determines whether an organization will receive payments from the federal government under either the Medicare EHR Incentive Program or the Medicaid EHR Incentive Program or both. 6
Meaningful Use Overview, continued The REAL Bottom Line … • WHY is Meaningful Use (MU) so Important to Our Patients? • Improves the quality, safety, efficiency, and coordination of patient care • Provides patients and their families with timely access to data, knowledge, and tools to make informed decisions and to manage their health across the care continuum • Ensures privacy and security protections for confidential medical information • Enables patients to promptly access their own Personal Health Information (PHI)

Approach • Communications • BEACON Communications will deliver simple specific targeted messages early and often and through various mediums • Improve peer-to-peer communication using SuperUsers, SMEs and Physician Informaticists to deliver messages • Change Management / Adoption • Show organization that BEACON was designed, built, and validated by clinicians and physicians • Conduct standardization assessments at local level and change readiness surveys • Training • 75% of BEACON solution training will be web-based, available online or facilitated in a classroom setting • 25% of BEACON solution training will be “Day in the Life” classroom training, focusing on role based technology enabled process 21
Workflow Localization – What is it? A disciplined and structured approach to standardizing the future state workflows and facilitating change management throughout the organization • Workflow Localization assists each facility in creating a strategy for implementing critical clinical and operational workflows • Workflow Localization assists in evaluating BEACON future state processes and driving necessary practice change to support BEACON best practices 22
