Integration burden fall to buyer  Certification is required to permit the buyer to get stimulus funds.  Microsoft will pursue Modular Certification for HealthVault Community Connect Meaningful Use Reporting  Aimed at hospitals and EPs.  Have to demonstrate meaningful use of certified electronic medical record (EMR) systems by reporting specific measures tied to a set of objectives.  The criteria for meaningful use are defined in three stages –Stage 1 requirements for reporting in 2011 are the only ones presently defined. –Stage 2 requirements will soon be defined and will be required beginning in 2013 and finally –Stage 3 requirements will be required beginning in  Meaningful use is organized around broad themes referred to as Health Outcome Policy Priorities.

Health Outcome Priorities and Care Goals – Stage 1

Engage patients and families in their health care Improve care coordination At least 80% of all patients who request an electronic copy of their health information are provided it within 48 hours At least 80% of all patients who are discharged from an eligible hospital and who request an electronic copy of their discharge instructions and procedures are provided it At least 10% of all unique patients seen by the EP are provided timely electronic access to their health information Clinical summaries are provided for at least 80% of all office visits Performed at least one test of certified EHR technology's capacity to electronically exchange key clinical information Provide summary of care record for at least 80% of transitions of care and referrals Perform medication reconciliation for at least 80% of relevant encounters and transitions of care A Closer look at Objectives and Measures

Data capture and sharing Advanced clinical processes Improved outcomes Long-term Approach to Meaningful Use 9 o Stage 1 – 2011 Stage 2 – 2013 Stage 3 – 2015

 The longer term purpose of this entire Act is to drive improvements in care quality and cost performance.  Healthcare organizations should be looking at technologies and vendors that are addressing the longer term goals: –Providing a comprehensive patient view, –Allowing for real-time patient cohorting, –Seeing real-time performance against quality measures. –Connecting beyond the health system walls –Engaging patients in their health and wellness, –Assisting in coordinated care, and –Allowing early detection and reporting of key public health indicators.  Finally, all these capabilities have to be grounded in a commitment to secure data exchange and patient privacy. Stage 1 is the beginning…. Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning. Sir Winston Churchill, 1942

Key Points 16© 2009 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. Microsoft Confidential  We believe we have strong offering aimed squarely at two of the broader areas of Meaningful Use.  Microsoft will pursue Modular Certification for HealthVault Community Connect.  Our roadmap will continue to build out capabilities needed to maintain certification over Stage 2 and 3.  Meaningful use is really about the “use” – so focus on customer readiness and getting to production fast.  Payments cannot be collected until the customer gets system into use for at least 3 months (initially) and then is able to report against the required measures
