1 Public Health IT Public health enabled Electronic Health Records, Decision Support, and Their Role in the Meaningful Use of Healthcare Technology Lecture b This material (Comp13_Unit4b) was developed by Columbia University, funded by the Department of Health and Human Services, Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology under Award Number 1U24OC000003.

2 EHRs, Decision Support, and Meaningful Use of HIT Learning Objectives 2 Demonstrate knowledge of public health-oriented clinical decision support including an integrated strategy using multiple tools such as alerts, order sets, smart forms, and quality reporting (Lecture b) Describe the strategies, features, and systems needed for public health agencies to define and build the necessary connections to EHRs as identified by the "meaningful use" legislation (Lecture b) Identify the essential features of four primary public health IT functions including syndromic surveillance, bi- directional immunization registries, public health alerts, ad-hoc reporting, etc. (Lecture b) Health IT Workforce Curriculum Version 3.0/Spring 2012 Public Health IT EHRs, Decision Support, and Meaningful Use of HIT Lecture b

3 8 Key Features of ECW 3 Health IT Workforce Curriculum Version 3.0/Spring 2012 Public Health IT EHRs, Decision Support, and Meaningful Use of HIT Lecture b 4. CDSS Automatically displays preventive service alerts that are suppressed when addressed 3. Automatic Visual Alerts Highlights abnormal vitals 2. Enhanced Registry Identifies patients by structured data (e.g., diagnoses, drugs, labs, demographics) 1. Measure Reports Side-by-side provider comparisons of performance on quality measures

4 8 Key Features of ECW (cont.) 4 Health IT Workforce Curriculum Version 3.0/Spring 2012 Public Health IT EHRs, Decision Support, and Meaningful Use of HIT Lecture b 8. Medication History With patient consent, displays a medication history of all Rxs filled by the patients 7. CIR and School Health Sends information to City Immunization Registry & generates school health forms 6. Comprehensive Order Sets Displays best practice recommendations (e.g., for meds, labs, patient education) 5. Quick Orders One-click ordering of recommended preventive services

5 The following storyline… 5 Health IT Workforce Curriculum Version 3.0/Spring 2012 Public Health IT EHRs, Decision Support, and Meaningful Use of HIT Lecture b Illustrates these Public Health-enabled EHR functions in action Jane Doe, a 48 year-old woman is cared for by her family practitioner, Dr. Sam Willis

6 Measure Reports Using the QUALITY MEASURE REPORTS FUNCTION, Dr. Willis finds that only one-third of his hypertensive patients have achieved good BP control.

Medication History Using the ENHANCED REGISTRY FUNCTION, Dr. Willis identifies five patients with high blood pressure who do not have an appointment scheduled, and reaches out to each patient; he generates a letter scheduling a follow-up visit with patient Jane Doe. (Buck, 2010.) 7 Health IT Workforce Curriculum Version 3.0/Spring 2012 Public Health IT EHRs, Decision Support, and Meaningful Use of HIT Lecture b Dr. Willis wants to improve his score on BP control and queries the EHR to identify patients with poorly controlled hypertension. Enhanced Registry

Automatic Visual Alerts4. CDSS 5. Quick Orders6. Comprehensive Order Sets7. CIR and School Health8. Medication History Jane Doe receives the letter and makes a f/u appointment During the visit, Dr. Willis’s assistant takes her history and vitals Jane mentions that she has had a few weeks of excessive thirst and fatigue Jane’s blood pressure is elevated (150/90) and highlighted in red by the AUTOMATIC VISUAL ALERT FUNCTION. Dr. Willis can trend her BP over time. (Buck, 2010.) Automatic Visual Alert

9 1. Measure Reports2. Enhanced Registry3. Automatic Visual Alerts4. CDSS 5. Quick Orders6. Comprehensive Order Sets7. CIR and School Health8. Medication History Based on Jane’s new diagnosis of diabetes, the CLINICAL DECISION SUPPORT FUNCTION identifies four preventive care services that should be performed. This list of services is automatically populated in the CDSS panel. (Buck, 2010.) 9 Health IT Workforce Curriculum Version 3.0/Spring 2012 Public Health IT EHRs, Decision Support, and Meaningful Use of HIT Lecture b Based on Jane’s chief complaint of excessive thirst, Dr. Willis performs a fingerstick test and confirms his suspicion that Jane has diabetes Dr. Willis enters a diagnosis of diabetes into the EHR CDSS

Medication History Dr. Willis agrees that these tests are appropriate and should be performed Dr. Willis uses the QUICK ORDER FUNCTION to order an HbA1C test for Jane, as well as a flu vaccine; the alerts disappear from the panel once they are ordered. Dr. Willis may also choose to suppress alerts, if he deems them unnecessary. (Buck, 2010.) Quick Orders

23 EHRs, Decision Support, and Meaningful Use of HIT Summary – Lecture b This lecture has shown that a combination of measure reports, registry tool, visual alerts, clinical decision support, order sets, CIR, and medication history all enable a clinical provider to practice good preventative follow- up care in-line with public health priorities. It has also shown how EHR data could be used to detect the H1N1 flu outbreak in New York City. 23 Health IT Workforce Curriculum Version 3.0/Spring 2012 Public Health IT EHRs, Decision Support, and Meaningful Use of HIT Lecture b
