  2. Overview • Presentation Objectives • Discuss purpose and background of the provider survey project • Describe findings from surveys • Discussion • Needed for state HIT planning efforts • Discuss areas of interest to OSC Steering Committee and OMS • Discuss interest in HIT status of other sectors (non-incented)

  3. Overview • Project Background • Purpose and Timeframe(s) • Limitations • Survey Methods • Ambulatory Practices • Dental Practices • Acute Care Hospitals

  4. ProjectBackground Purpose • To develop data collection instruments, administer them, and analyze resulting data to inform an “as is” environmental assessment of the status of HIT among providers who are potentially eligible for incentive payments for HIT adoption and use. • To develop data collection instruments, administer them, and analyze the resulting data to inform statewide HIT efforts being led by Maine’s Office of the State Coordinator for HIT.

  5. ProjectBackground

  6. Survey Methods Overall • Develop Survey Tools - Domains • Develop Survey Samples • Develop Methods Limitations • Timeframe (web-based survey) • Available Contact Information • Lack of Provider-to-Site-to-Organization Mapping • Instrument reflects current understanding of draft rules

  7. Survey Methods Ambulatory Practices • Response rate – 41 percent • Denominator/Population • Practice lists compiled from several sources • 1546 practices included in lists • 155 duplicates identified • 65 found to be ineligible (as practices) • 15 practices on list had closed • 1311 remaining practices in denominator • Practices responding - 543

  8. Survey Methods Dental Practices • Response rate – 34 percent • Denominator/Population • Practice lists compiled from OMS • 220 practices on list and used as denominator • Practices responding - 75

  9. Survey Methods Acute Care Hospitals • Response rate – 75 percent • Denominator/Population • Practice lists compiled from OMS • 40 hospitals on list used as denominator • Hospitals responding – 30
