Attendance: 12, including community health advocates from Siletz, Portland, Eugene, and Salem, Diabetes Case Manager, 6 community members (2 representing EAO, 1 from SAO, 3 from PAO), and a participating Portland transporter. In absentia, Trish Carey was welcomed as the new Diabetes Program Assistant.

• March 19, the Diabetes Case Manager spoke with the Cancer Support Group about links between increases in incidence of diabetes and certain cancers; relation to certain medications; and modifiable risk factors such as diet, physical activity, smoking, and alcohol.

• March 26, Spring Into Action exercise challenge began at all area offices, to run for 12 weeks, ending June 15. In Siletz, 60 people of all ages registered, 28 at Portland, 28 at Eugene, and 89 at Salem.

• Saturday, March 31, the Lincoln County Diabetes Education/Prevention Coalition presented the 10th Annual Diabetes Update at Best Western Agate Beach in Newport, 9-3. The Diabetes Case Manager attended planning meetings, arranged for Dr. Rick Letherer to speak on Diabetes and the Human Eye, and manned a table of donated meters at breaks, showing people how to use them. Speakers were excellent, including endocrinologist Dr. Boyle. The event included lunch, ADA and some other exhibitors, physical activities, and donated gifts, including from Chinook Winds. Evaluations were very positive. Fifty people attended, not counting vendors, who also heard speakers. Growing the audience is a focus for next year.

Breastfeeding Support Program • The SDPI Grant provides funding for SCHC Breastfeeding Support, a primary prevention program.

Breastfed infants have been shown to have reduced incidence of obesity as children and adults and reduced risk of developing Type 2 diabetes.

• The Diabetes Program provides supplies to support moms who choose to breastfeed their infants. Supplies sent to each area office on request include disposable nursing bra pads and lanolin as well as electric breast pumps (some manual) when needed for women returning to work or school.

• Michele Cornwall, RN, has moved with her family to a new job in Alaska. At this time there is not a replacement for her in Lactation Consultant training.

Rapid Assessment of Physical Activity (RAPA) Last July the Diabetes Program began providing the 1-page RAPA, a self-assessment, for SCHC clients at their appointments. Periodically assessing level of physical activity is an important part of one of our selected IHS best practices, Physical Activity for Diabetes Prevention and Care. Our FY2012 continuation application of last July gives our first objective for this best practice as documenting an annual assessment of physical activity for at least 60% of native patients at SCHC diagnosed with pre-diabetes or diabetes. By the end of Q1, 2012, we had documented RAPA numbers for 113 native patients diagnosed with diabetes (93 Siletz and 20 other native individuals) plus19 native patients diagnosed with pre-diabetes. Annual assessment can help correlate change in self-reported activity levels with health. Exercise Options Siletz Area

Quality Assurance The laboratory continues to participate in several proficiency challenges through the American Association of Biocatalysts. These include drug testing, immunology, fluid analysis and hematology. The laboratory has a 100% score in all areas. We continue to work on the set up and implementation of the Bidirectional Interface and EHR. Activities The laboratory is now fully Bidirectional. The providers can now see all send out labs (Reference) results in EHR. This has been a long process but the outcome is well worth it. We will continue to get a paper copy that goes into the patients chart. EHR will greatly add to the efficiency of the lab and soon make paper obsolete. Our IT manager is working on integrating the machines in the lab with RPMS. The Clinitx-Status was our first to be hooked up and is working great. The providers can now see the Urinalysis results in EHR almost immediately. The IT manager will soon have the Pentra and Piccolo working alongside the Clinitex-Status.

INFORMATION SYSTEMS Staff Sunshine Keck, Information Systems Tech 1 Chuvonne Metcalf, Data Entry Technician Activities Data Entry Technician

Training: Chuvonne enrolled in an online Medical Coding course to become a Certified Coder. She has completed and passed the online course. She is currently studying for her certification exam.

Chuvonne continues to implement Pharmacy POS Patch 42 D.0. The patch was installed on Dec 29th and Chuvonne has worked on updating current insurers to the new D.0 format and working closely with the pharmacy staff and patient accounts to troubleshoot prescription rejections/errors. Formats are constantly changing and need immediate fixes.

Chuvonne continues to work with the Coding Queue to verify correctness of data before being released to Patient Accts.

Chuvonne continues to work with Marci & the providers to get incomplete medical visits cleaned up & billed to third party insurances.

Chuvonne has started learning VA Fileman and other RPMS data mining techniques to find visits needing correction.

Chuvonne processes the weekly Electronic Claim folders for Medicare & Medicaid. Chuvonne continues to provide assistance with Point of Sale (POS) to Patient Accounts & Pharmacy as

needed. Chuvonne is the primary contact for maintaining the fax machines, copiers and primary contact for

printers as well as toner and printer ribbons for the clinic and CHS. IHS Site Manager / Information Systems Tech 1

Training: Sunshine completed the IHS Security Awareness annual course required for all users accessing the IHS intranet.

Primary focus: Stuart Whitehead of the IS Department has taken over the lead on this project. Currently we are waiting on Check Point and RSA to resolve a communication issue between the RSA server and our Check Point. Setting up a secure login (VPN) from home for providers was moved to the highest priority. Until then, Electronic Health Record (EHR) providers have to stay late at night to complete their documentation.

Primary focus: Lab Instruments (Urinalysis, CBC, and Piccolo Chemistry) interfaced with Data Innovations and RPMS were moved to the top 5 priorities for Clinic Info Systems. Sunshine completed the Urinalysis instrument and is now working on the CBC. Interfacing the instruments allows lab results to move directly into the patient’s record in EHR.

Primary focus: Electronic claims were mandated by CMS to move to 5010 format. We were approved by Medicare for 5010 claims in December but automated reports failed. These have been corrected and we are now in 5010 production. Medicaid approved production for 5010 claims by the end of first quarter. Some of the reports still need adjustment but we are in production status.

Primary Focus: A document management program is mandatory for EHR so that outside reports and internal forms can be stored electronically and attached to the patient’s record in EHR. This eliminates the need for filing more paper in the already full paper charts. The VA uses software that would be more efficient than the IHS version but we would be the first IHS site to try to integrate the software. The decision was made to stay with the IHS software called VistA Imaging. This will be the primary focus as soon as the lab instruments are interfaced.

Staffing change: Edward Biancone left the CAC position. Sunshine and Chuvonne have been helping with EHR and scheduling issues in his absence.

AAAHC prep: Sunshine submitted revised forms for approval and is updating procedures and other documentation.

Continuing focus: IHS mandated a change to Point of Sale for Pharmacy claims. The program patch and training were not released until Dec. 19th. The patch removed our POS-A/R link which heavily impacted Data Entry and Patient Accounts staff. We installed a custom patch restoring our POS-A/R link and this got us back on track. Formats continually change and need immediate attention.

Resolved: Health Information Exchange (HIE) is being mandated by CMS and IHS. Oregon and Washington have already implemented changes. Sunshine enrolled the Clinic in One Health Port and set up user access for Clinic staff. We are now in maintenance mode, adding/removing staff as needed.

Xray Data issue: Radiology’s Image Pilot server only saves data to its local hard drives. We have completed transfer of our historical images to our vRad group who reads the X-rays and also stores them on-line in a secure server environment. Besides safety and access to the data, we can grant access to consulting physicians and/or hospitals, etc., so they can have immediate access to our patients’ X-rays. Our providers who are on-call after hours will also have that access which will be a benefit to our patients.

IHS mandates: HHS and IHS continue to load multiple software updates to increase security, add “Meaningful Use” compliance, and keep up with the national IHS requirements. Sunshine can only focus on the most critical and try to maintain existing packages. New packages that are not critical for our clinic’s use have to be put on hold for now.

Page 15: SILETZ TRIBAL HEALTH DEPARTMENT · ee 2-yr old Immunization Rates - Appendix A. ... reduced risk of developing Type 2 diabetes. ... at least 60% of native patients at SCHC diagnosed

Page 15 of 28

Annual Inventory: Wendi Schamp has taken over the responsibility for all Clinic inventory. Test Server on Hold: Sunshine and IHS set up a TEST database in Ensemble / EHR so that Rhonda

Attridge, our CHS Lead Tech, can start testing the full version of the IHS CHS RPMS package – without the Selby modifications. If successful, we can move to the standard IHS package which should reduce software errors. Progress on this is stalled due to other higher priorities.

PAMS on Hold: Clinic Information Systems and Patient Accounts accepted the challenge of doing Beta testing of the IHS PAMS software in an EHR environment. The payback is a savings of $60,000 for the normal cost of the installation and conversion of existing Accounts Receivable. The PAMS team completed on-site review and draft plan. Several on-line and phone conferences have been conducted. “Event date” default identified as a major issue. The project has been delayed due to other higher priorities and staffing issues.

Challenge: Sunshine is learning how to manage the firewall appliances (CheckPoint) which protect Clinic data in particularly and the entire CTSI network. This is taking in-depth study and trial and error.

IHS RPMS packages have been updated on schedule. Sunshine has updated three quarters of the Clinic Timesheet folder replacing staff names with user

groups to save time in managing user rights and organization of data. The new clinic data server is backed up to encrypted, secure off-site storage. CTSI Info Systems team helps upgrade phones, computers, printers, and provide user assistance. Many

thanks to Robert, Debbie, Stuart and Clint! Stuart has been able to provide additional assistance which staff appreciates.

We added a part-time nurse, diabetes program assistant, a TLC manager, and a PA student. We had 4 staff terminate. Sunshine and Darcy Jimenez added 30 outside prescribers. Computer access was updated for contractors, staff, as needed.

Sunshine maintains clinic Sonitrol access levels and clinic staff changes. Heating and cooling system remote access computer is in use; still needs external IP set up for remote

support. As needed, Sunshine assists Clinic management and staff with reports and RPMS questions plus

Pharmacy Point of Sale (POS) processes. User pc and printer requests are delayed due to lack of time – Sunshine’s time is consumed with the top

five priorities and mandatory CTSI, IHS, EHR, system and security needs. CTSI IS team is helping with the backlog.

Phone support and Internet email access are coordinated with CTSI IS team.

Quality Improvement for Health Administration Information Systems: Sunshine is focusing on the Lab, VistA Imaging, IHS security enhancements, clinic servers, domain

configurations, IT security, Dentrix, and phone and printer setups. The CAC when hired will focus on EHR, Pharmacy, and Radiology package set up. EHR still requires

major time commitment. Chuvonne is learning to use the IHS EHR package and data extract utilities. She works with Patient

Accounts via the Coding Queue as she reviews and releases RPMS data from EHR. We do not have a trained Data Entry backup person on staff.

BUSINESS OFFICE Staff Amy Garrett, Business Office Manager Elaine Greene, Business Office Clerk Ronda Ramsey, Patient Accounts Representative LaRita Lundy, Patient Accounts Representative Brenda Howell, Patient Accounts Representative Rhonda Attridge, Contract Health Technician I Joella Strong, Contract Health Technician II Kathryn Dick, Contract Health Technician II Patient Accounts Activities and Goals:

Identified payment process breakdown with State Medicaid program. Developing document that outlines the submitted reimbursable claims and outstanding payment amount. OMAP Tribal liaison contacted week of April 16th. Progress memos will be submitted to Health Director.

o Issue is related to HNA coding of the patients Medicaid eligibility file. Patients continue to be enrolled in managed care after HNA information is provided. We are receiving payments from the managed care plan, but the State continues to deny our claims for encounter rate payment as “bill managed care”.

o Medicaid accounts for 45% of the Clinic total accounts receivable. We currently have $198,460 in Medicaid claims aged over 90 days. This amount makes up 44% of the A/R over 90 days. PA staff has spent the first quarter of 2012 adjusting any non collectible Medicaid accounts.

Continue cooperative duties with pharmacy to maximize insurance payments. Further develop positive

and productive communication with pharmacy department. Goals: o Understand when Pharmacy has stopped working a rejected claim and ensure that PA staff takes

responsibility for revenue potential. o Ensure that each Direct patient has either paid for their prescription, been authorized for an

adjustment/write-off or will be billed via patient statement. o Ensure that PA staff is able to maintain standard billing and posting duties, while effectively

working pharmacy claims.
