  2. Actionable Information in NYC:Primary Care Information Project (PCIP) Mission • Improve quality of care in medically underserved areas through health information technology • “Clinical Action Arm” bureau of the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene • Promote new models of care focusing on prevention and public health priorities • Develop new tools in population health management • Transition providers from paper charts to an EHR Success • Over 12,000providers joined PCIP and the Regional Extension Center (NYC REACH), including more than: • 1095 independent practices • 63 community health centers • 54 hospitals & outpatient clinics • Millions of patients

  3. Data -> Information -> Action Data • We receive eClinicalWorks EHR data on 3000 providers, caring for ~1.8 M patients per year, ~350,000 encounters per month, data on 5M+ patients since 2009 • Using Medicaid claims data – to analyze and create dashboards to reach non-eClinicalWorks providers • Commercial claims data Information • We turn raw data into usable, targeted, actionable information and use it to drive public health focused interventions Action • Dashboards: over 20,000 sent last year • On-site QI: over 4,000 site visits last year • PCMH: PCIP sites are 439 out of 1051 total sites in NYS (42%) • Pay for Quality Programs: Health eHearts, Health eQuits • Community Engagement activities

  4. Infrastructure to Retrieve EHR Data:The Hub Population Health Network • “The Hub” allows secure exchange of aggregate data with PCIP practices on the eClinicalWorks EHR • Send out queries • Receive patient counts overnight • The Hub currently covers: • 700+ practices • ~1.8 M patients per year • 5 M+ patients since 2009 Buck MD, Anane S, Taverna J, Amirfar S, Stubbs-Dame R, Singer J. The Hub Population Health System: Distributed Ad Hoc Queries and Alerts. J Am Med Inform Assoc. Published Online First: 9 November 2011. doi:10.1136/amiajnl-2011-000322.

  8. The NYC Macroscope Project Proposal: Develop and validate best practices for using data from EHRs for population health surveillance. In partnership with CUNY School of Public Health, the NYC Health Department will create EHR-based estimates and compare them to a “gold standard” 2013 local HANES survey. We will select high performing measures as the basis of the NYC Macroscope EHR surveillance system.

  9. Gold Standard:NYC HANES 2013 • Partnership with CUNY SPH • Representative sample of 1,500 randomly selected New Yorker adults • Household-based sampling • Citywide estimation • Detailed health interviews (CAPI, ACASI) • Brief physical exam • Biological specimen collection (blood, urine) • Mental health screening

  10. EHR Limitations: Bias and Measurement Error

  11. National ONC Standard:Query Health • Completed federal initiative to build distributed query capabilities across healthcare IT vendors. • http://wiki.siframework.org/Query+Health • New York City/State Depts. of Health completed one of the first pilots of this new national standard across HIE and EHR data sources.

  12.
