NHII Financial Incentives Track A Summary of Recommendations

Current & Desired State  Current State: Everybody wants change but nobody wants to fund it. Anything that gets funded benefits the funders’ competitors.  Desired State: Broad national coalition to convince Congress that we need funding. Shared effort leads to shared gains for all – community-based development of NHII. $10 Billion to START! (an easy number to remember)

Short Term Recommendation #1  The federal government should provide a stable source of funding for the development, implementation and maintenance of health information standards.  This could be accomplished through an expansion of the Consolidated Health Informatics Initiative or development of a new public/private partnership entity for; Tracking use of standards; Coordination with states and private sector on standards development; Defining “voluntary” strategies to support adoption of standards; Providing education with respect to HIPAA on ability to share information; Defining and developing strategies to remove barriers to adoption of standards and functional models.  Collaborate with international standards organization to promote uniform international health information standards.

Short Term Recommendation #2  Immediate federal action to create a safe harbor protecting and supporting investments in healthcare information technology from adverse scrutiny under fraud and abuse and anti-kickback statutes and regulations.  Evaluation of whether antitrust restrictions need to be modified to promote investment in healthcare IT.  Evaluation and modification of other legal barriers to investment in and the use and sharing of healthcare information.

Short Term Recommendation #3  Increase federal and state support for education and training programs relating to health informatics in the health professions, including public health.  Purchasers of healthcare should educate consumers in order to increase demand for health information technology.

Short Term Recommendation #4  The federal government should lead in the development of a national strategy for the investment in Healthcare IT. There should be rapid progress with public and private support for projects: which allow communities to invest in Local Health Information Infrastructure (LHII) initiatives to establish regional data sharing. Projects should involve the full continuum of care. which support healthcare provider entities and public health departments in becoming fully IT enabled. which support chronic disease management and health maintenance.  All projects should be evaluated with respect to their impact on quality and safety, as well as, with respect to there financial impact on all stakeholders.  Projects should be consistent with national standards and evolving functional reference models, which are validated through a public consensus process.

Short Term Recommendation #5  Adoption of a coordinated set of payment incentives, led by CMS in its role as the major nationwide payer, and adopted voluntarily by private payers.  The payment incentives should evolve over time. Incentives should encourage investment in and use of IT which is consistent with federal standards.  The payment incentives should also support process improvements and improvements in patient care outcomes.

Medium Term Recommendation #1 Congress to enact legislation creating a public-private partnership financing vehicle (see Medium Term Goal #2) with the following characteristics:  Vehicle to finance priority healthcare IT programs, which support the nation’s public health goals and the administration of the Medicare, Medicaid and other federal programs.  The source of funds for this program would involve both public and private resources. The federal government should contribute $10B to establish the program; State governments should leverage federal funds through taxable/tax-exempt bonds;  To obtain public funds the private entities will be required to match public funds and/or repay loan funds for reinvestment in additional qualified projects;  20% of funds should be available for grants to support rural health providers, safety net providers and private physicians and other caregivers.

Medium Term Recommendation #2  Create regional health information technology corporations (HITCs), which are organized as state certified, not-for-profit public-private entities.  HITCs should be charged with coordinating and administering investment in local health information infrastructure (LHII) initiatives, subject to federal authorizing legislation and oversight (see Medium Term Goal #1).

Medium Term Recommendation #3  The federal government should work with other healthcare purchasers and payers to develop payment approaches that will remove perverse incentives and reward quality enhancement through information technology.
