Meaningful Use: Managing Stage 2 and Beyond John Valutkevich Senior Supervisor Electronic Health Records and Federal Health Initiatives Lisa Palmer, Senior Specialist for Federal Health Initiatives MEDITECH Ambulatory
Review of Systems: • Industry Stats • MEDITECH Stats • Chronic Conditions Continue from Stage 1 • Prognosis - Stage 2 and Stage 3 • Plan of Action
Review of Systems • Industry Demands Facing Health Care This Year: • Meaningful Use demands • Healthcare Reform • Payment Reform • ICD-10 (delayed again) • 5010 • ACO’s and PCMH’s
Stage 1 Meaningful Use Summary Focus is deployment/adoption of Advanced Clinical Systems Electronic exchange of information Report on Meaningful Use Metrics and Clinical Quality Measures Complete EHR or EHR Modules must be "certified" To qualify for incentives, grants, or funding, users must demonstrate meaningful use of the EHR system.

Review of Systems • Why New Releases ? • Privacy & Security Requirements • Standardized Encryption of all connections to • SSL/TLS • Encryption of Downloads (CD, USB) • Enhanced Patient Centric Audit Logs in MIS • Increased Security Requirements in Stage 2 • Visit: MEDITECH Systems Support
Review of Systems • Why New Releases ? • Increased Standardization with Nomenclature • Increased use of SNOMED-CTFor Problem List • Mapping to Tests and Results: LOINC and SNOMED • SNOMED-CT for Nursing Terms, Orders • Standards for Medications, Allergies and Reactions Improvements to mapping standards
Review of Systems • Why New Releases? • Improvements to Usability • Enhanced Problem List Functionality • Improved Workflow for Medication Reconciliation • Patient and Clinician Discharge Processes • Robust CCD Enhancements • Ambulatory Checkout Process • Ambulatory Patient Education Increasing Clinician and Physician User Satisfaction
Chronic Conditions Stage 1 • Computerized Provider Order Entry • Physician Adoption Historically is Slow • CMS Interpretations: • Licensed Professional • Must use CDS at time of order entry • Requiring only 1 Med - raises patient safety issues and disjointed care • Acute, ED or Both calculation MEDITECH certified CPOE solution resides within PCM and EDM for Acute and AOM/RXM for Ambulatory providers.
Chronic Conditions Stage 1 • Reporting Requirements: Eligible Hospitals • Utilization of Your EHR • EHR Utilization Metrics (i.e. 30% CPOE utilization) • 14 Required Functional Measures and 10 Menu Items • Utilization Reports are NPR and Report Designer for 90 days reporting • Longer reporting period (365 days) may require Data Repository for increased data retention
Chronic Conditions Stage 1 • Reporting Requirements: Eligible Hospitals • Clinical Quality Measures - The Big Gotcha!! • 15 Quality Measures for Stage 1: • ED Throughput • Stroke • VTE • Clinical Quality Measure Reports calculated from Data Repository • DR customers receive Quality Measures Report SQL Templates • For 2011 and 2012 - CMS requires attestation only – capability of your certified EHR to report the measures • Performance and Outcomes are not measured
Chronic Conditions Stage 1 • Reporting Requirements: Eligible Professionals • Utilization of Your EHR • EHR Utilization Metrics (i.e. 30% CPOE utilization) • 15 Required Core Measures and 10 Menu Items • Standard System Utilization Reports • provided for Core and Menu set items

Chronic Conditions Stage 1 • Clinical Quality Reports … • … became as big an impact as CPOE ! • Required vocabularies not used widely in EHRs: (SNOMED CT, RxNorm, CVX) • Over 500 data elements in the 15 measures • Data capture must be in discrete fields • Impact on workflow for clinicians • Specification was incomplete and not maintained • Review of Best Practices is Critical
Chronic Conditions Stage 1 • Interoperability Requirements • Stage 1 - Just A Test! But with Whom? • Infrastructure lacking - exchange standards not defined • CCD: Capability to exchange key clinical information among providers - regardless of the transport – standard has to be a CCD • Public Health Reporting InterfacesMust choose 1 Public Health Objective to Demonstrate - (but own them all) • Capability to submit electronic data to immunization registries • Capability to provide electronic submission of reportable lab results to public health agencies • Capability to provide electronic syndromic surveillance data to public health agencies
Chronic Conditions Stage 1 • CMS Clarifications • FAQ Mechanism to clarify or re-write legislation • Wording in Final Rule – ambiguous and left open to much interpretation • Many, many “clarifications” from CMS and ONC – sometimes changing the ruling • What will be involved in an Audit?
Prognosis: Stage 2 and Beyond
