2 Kentucky eHealth initiative ARRA/HITECH ACT (Funding $$)
Key Points EMR vs EHR Health I.T. (HIT) Kentucky eHealth initiative ‘The Journey’ ARRA/HITECH ACT (Funding $$) Health Information Exchange Kentucky Health Information Exchange

3 EMR vs EHR EMR: The electronic record of health-related information on an individual that is created, gathered, managed, and consulted by licensed clinicians and staff from a single organization who are involved in the individual’s health and care.

4 By these definitions, an EHR is an EMR with interoperability
EMR vs EHR EHR: The aggregate electronic record of health-related information on an individual that is created and gathered cumulatively across more than one health care organization and is managed and consulted by licensed clinicians and staff involved in the individual’s health and care. By these definitions, an EHR is an EMR with interoperability

12 Healthcare Today A Disconnected System Disconnected islands of data
Poor coordination Fragmented processes Limited connectivity Patients and clinicians often left without tools and data required Imaging Center IDN/Hospital Tightly Aligned Physician Offices Owned Practices Clinics Reference Lab Community Pharmacy Non-Affiliated Practices Patient Loosely Affiliated Physician Offices

13 Kentucky e-Health Historical Overview
March 8, 2005 Legislation (Senate Bill 2) to create a secure interoperable statewide electronic health network Kentucky eHealth Network Board (KeHN) Health care Infrastructure Authority University of Kentucky University of Louisville Supported by the Cabinet for Health & Family Services Appointment of several committees Health Information Exchange

14 Kentucky Health Information Exchange The Beginning
2007 Medicaid Transformation Grant ($4.9M) Utilized for development of core functionality of KHIE 6 Pilot Hospitals and 1 Clinic signed the KHIE Participation Agreement

15 The Sun, Stars & Moon Align
American Recovery & Reinvestment Act (ARRA) ‘HITECH Act’ to provide State Grants to Promote Health Information Technology to improve the quality and efficiency of health care and expand the secure, electronic movement and use of health information among organizations according to nationally recognized standards

16 In August 2009, Governor Steve Beshear
GOEHI Governor’s Office of Electronic Health Information In August 2009, Governor Steve Beshear named the Cabinet for Health and Family Services as the state entity responsible for the administration of Kentucky’s Health Information Exchange (KHIE) and issued an Executive Order to create GOEHI Charged with providing leadership for statewide health information technology

17 ARRA Funding State HIE Cooperative Agreement Strategic & Operational Plan submitted August 27, 2010 ONC– APPROVED February 25/2011 Kentucky award $9.75M – Statewide Health Information Exchange

18 Health Information Exchange:
HIE Defined Health Information Exchange: The electronic movement of health-related data and information among organizations according to agreed standards, protocols, and other criteria (ONC)

29 The Role of the KHIE Outreach Coordinator
‘Boots on the Ground’ Extension of the Governor’s Office for Electronic Health Information Local assistance/hand-holding Coordination with RECs to target physician offices and CAH’s

30 On-Boarding: The Process
Welcome! Intake SIGNED Participation Agreement Technical Implementation Completion of technical forms W/w the EMR vendors Data flow Data validation

31 How the Exchange ‘Works’
ADT’s/Demographics Populate the Community/Master Patient Index Record Locator Service Locates all the patient encounters Consolidates patient information for presentation to the provider Access KHIE Community Portal/Virtual Health Record Provider EHR Portal/Dashboard

32 Continuity of Care Document (CCD)
The Technology Continuity of Care Document (CCD) Built using HL7 Clinical Document Architecture (CDA) elements and contains data that is defined by the ASTM Continuity of Care Record (CCR). It is used to share summary information about the patient within the broader context of the health record Standard technology but relatively new Many EHRs/vendors not ready

33 CCD Elements Problems Procedures Family History Social History Vital Signs Functional stats Results Payers Advance Directives Alerts Medications Immunizations Medical Equipment Encounters Plan of Care

34 Standard CCD Layout Patient: Given Name Family Name , Jr. or Sr., etc... Street Address City, State, Zip Code tel: MRN: Birthdate: January 1, 1954 Sex: Male Guardian: Next of Kin: Given Name + Family Name Street Address City, State, Zip Code tel:(999) Table of Contents Purpose : Automated Medical History Summary Payers Problems Family history Social History Allergies, Adverse Reactions, Alerts Medications Immunizations Vital Signs Results Procedures Encounters

35 KHIE Community Portal (Virtual Health Record)

36 KHIE Community Portal: Patient Info Tab

37 KHIE GOAL Provide HIE Connectivity to as many providers as possible over the next two years with little or no startup cost to the providers

38 What’s Possible? With a Connected Community Better Coordination
Hospitals Imaging Center What’s Possible? With a Connected Community Tightly Aligned Physicians Owned Practices/ Clinics Better Coordination Safer Care More Cost-Effective Care Reference Lab Community Pharmacy Non-affiliated Practices Patients Loosely Affiliated Physicians

39 Benefits to KHIE Participation
Real-Time Information Detailed patient summary RX/Medication History Laboratory Results Encounters Clinical Rules that alert ‘Opportunities for Care’ Allergy and Drug to Drug Interaction Alerts Radiology Reports and Images

40 KHIE & Meaningful Use Menu Criteria: EHs and EPs must meet 5 of these, including one public health objective (i.e. may opt out of 5) Drug-formulary checks Incorporate clinical lab test results as structured data Generate lists of patients by specific conditions Use certified EHR technology to identify patient-specific education resources and provide to patient, if appropriate Medication reconciliation Summary of care record for each transition of care/referrals Capability to submit electronic data to immunization registries/systems Capability to provide electronic syndromic surveillance data to public health agencies Record advanced directives for patients 65 years or older (EH only) Capability to provide electronic submission of reportable lab results to public health agencies (EHs only) Send reminders to patients per patient preference for preventative/follow-up care (EPs only) Provide patients with timely electronic access to their health information (EPs only) Public health objectives Providers may claim certain objective(s)/measure(s) is inapplicable to them if they meet CMS criteria of such an exception.

41 Benefits to KHIE Participation
REAL-TIME Access to Patient Information Clinical Decision Support at POC Reduce duplication Impact on Continuity, Quality & Safety of Patient Care The RAND corporation states that potential benefits of a connected, interoperable healthcare system could save an estimated $80 billion per year.

46 Above all, it’s about improving care for all Americans.”
“We frequently talk about health IT with an emphasis on the technology. But at the heart of the transformation of our health system, it’s really all about people. Above all, it’s about improving care for all Americans.” Dr. Charles Friedman Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology Dr. Charles Friedman recently posted this discussion on the Health IT Buzz Blog. Dr. Friedman re-emphasizes the need for health IT; but qualifies that statement with the bottom line. Healthcare, at its simplest, is about caring for Americans. It is this focus, care of the patient, that drives the healthcare industry today. How can we take care of patients better, and how can we improve treatment plans and encourage compliance in chronic diseases? Technology developed without that focus will not yield the results the healthcare industry needs. As the evolution of healthcare moves forward and technology provides opportunities to improve processes, there is no doubt that maintaining information integrity is a key indicator of how well it has succeeded. Without the right information, at the right time, on the right patient, information cannot be considered to be trustworthy. Employing technology that encourages trust is the first step in ensuring information integrity in the electronic healthcare industry to come.
