eHealth Initiative Survey Fall 2016
Need for Standardization
• Lack of standardization among vendors.• Need for standardized vocabulary and well-defined
operational definitions of data fields.
Integration with EMR
• Information coming from another provider needs to be integrated in our EMR.
• There should be a query and retrieve function.
Strong Business Case
• There needs to be increased willingness to share patient data among providers.
• Currently difficult to directly show improved outcomes as a result of investment.
Data Ownership • Payers still own data, so it is difficult to retrieve.
Comments from Respondents “Inability to convert all the data from over
300 systems into one data warehouse in a
usable fashion”

eHealth Initiative Survey Fall 2016
Overall Trends• Strong agreement that interoperability is needed for value-based
care
• Majority of respondents did not feel interoperability was decreasing healthcare costs in their organizations, and many expect their budgets for IT to increase in the coming years
eHealth Initiative Survey Fall 2016
Overall Trends• Connectivity across provider organizations is most important to
organizations. Exchanging data for regulatory reporting and industry wide data for research purposes is not as important connectivity area for payer, provider and HIE organizations.
• Majority felt federal policies and regulations are not currently sufficient to help the nation achieve interoperability by 2020, however majority believe more federal incentives are needed.

“Normally changing healthcare is hard, but in this case we think it will be really easy.”
- Tim Fitzgerald, Director of IT, The Oregon Clinic
Health System Sees Clinical Benefits From the Integration
“Working in the ED on Saturday night, I was able to access labs recently done at The Oregon Clinic for a patient I was seeing. Having the recent labs for comparison was so helpful in the clinical care of this patient. Access from the Epic side was seamless and looks just like other local (Epic) facilities in Care Everywhere. Thanks so much for your hard work on this important tool that will no doubt help countless patients our organizations care for together.”
- Dr. Andy Zechnich, CMIO, Providence Health System
