Meaningful Use

› ARRA will provide incentives to physicians and hospitals for meaningful use of HIT. (2011–15)

› Meaningful Use will require HIE networks to:− Support Electronic prescribing

− Exchange summary patient documents

− Order laboratory tests and receive results electronically

− Electronically submit immunization and reportable conditions/events to public health

− Potentially convey quality reports to federal/state authorities 2012 and thereafter

HIE Benefits

› Improved care coordination and communication

› Support to public health

› Potential for daily emergency responder use

› Potential for a natural disaster emergencies

› Elimination of duplicate tests

› Value (savings/cost reduction) to (New Mexico) payers

› Value (savings/cost reduction) to (New Mexico) payers− $11.9 million per year – extrapolated conservatively from

national study

− $6 million per year based on very conservative estimates from local data

NMHIC Overview

› The New Mexico Health Information Collaborative (NMHIC)

− Health Information Exchange (HIE) development started 2005

− Convenes over 30 hospital, medical practice, laboratory, public health, professional, health plan, and employer organizations in a legal and trusted relationship for sharing patient information

− Connects doctors to electronic patient information across different

− Connects doctors to electronic patient information across different healthcare organizations in community and state

› NMHIC will replace fax, phone and mail exchange of medical information with secure and privacy protected electronic systems when it begins operation late 2010.

NMHIC Federated Architecture

ABQHP AE-EHR <-> NMHIC HIE

› Existing Health Level 7 (HL7) Data Exchanges Developed by Galen

− Registrations

− Appointments

− Radiology Results

− Documents

› Up Next (Funded by Social Security Admin. Project)− Appointments

− Allergies

− Medications

− Problems

ABQHP AE-EHR Data Exchanges

› Built in the ConnectR interface engine

− Application Programming Interface (API) to the Enterprise EHR (AE-EHR)

− Inbound and outbound stored procedures.

› Configuration of the interfaces to the particular vendor/client.

vendor/client.

› Galen’s vast experience and expertise in deploying data exchanges to and from the AE-EHR leveraged.

What/How information is shared

› Dependent upon clinical data currently captured and available in the Enterprise EHR

› Current implementation between ABQHP AE-EHR and NMHIC HIE is uni-directional− Outbound from Enterprise EHR to HIE

› Reg/Sched data typically comes from the Practice

› Reg/Sched data typically comes from the Practice Management system

− Pass/Map interface

› Extract routines deployed in Enterprise EHR and ConnectR to facilitate extraction of allergies, medications, problems

› Data mapped to HL7 messages (ADT, ORU, MDM)

AE-EHR\ConnectR Extract Process

Design Process

› Technical Design Document (TDD)

› Provide representative subset of data for analysis by NMHIC

› Feedback loop− Iterative process until steady-state is reached

› Issues and Resolutions List

› Timeline & Effort− Staggered, parallel development

− Typically 8 week turn-around-time − Design

− Build

− Unit Test

− Validation

− Activation

Design Decisions

› Patient identifiers

− Radiology Information System (RIS)

− Laboratory Information System (LIS)

− EHR

− PM

− Consistency with the Master Patient Index (MPI) across all

interfaces.

› Filtering− Mental health document types

− “Celebrity patients”

− Preliminary documents

− Unverified results.

NMHIC: Lesson Learned

› Expansive and inclusive governance participation

› Patience and Persistence required

› Legal agreements take time

› Public benefit requires public funding

› Steadfast support from NM Department of Health Leadership

Leadership

› Complementary core team skills

› Vendor commitment

› Federated architecture

› Centralized warehouse unacceptable in our community

The Future: CED

› A Clinical Exchange Document (CED)− Generally accepted format of patient data used to share

information between systems.

− Allscripts term to cover different formats that are supported.

› CCR and Medical Summary (a CDA)

› Both are xml documents,

› Both are essentially encounter summaries containing− Allergies -Problems

− Medications -Vitals

− Immunizations -Results

Summary

› Pragmatic benefits (both clinical and financially) to exchanging data between the AE-EHR and the HIE

› Best practice, iterative design approach utilized

› Effort invested in design up-front saves in implementation

› Most efficient means of data exchange between the AE-

› Most efficient means of data exchange between the AE-EHR and HIE is CED
