EMRAM is the Standard What are the Benefits?

SO, WHAT ARE STAGE 7 ORGANIZATIONS? A Little background Required
Who Is HIMSS Analytics ?
• A subsidiary of HIMSS • We collect data on what information systems are deployed
in healthcare systems in the U.S., Canada on a census basis – On a sample basis in Europe, the Middle East and AsiaPac
• From this data, we populate the EMR Adoption Models (EMRAM)
• EMRAM = the acute care model that reflects increased sophistication in deployment and use of healthcare IT
History of the Acute Care EMRAM • The acute care EMRAM was developed in 2005
– Thought leadership for the industry to compliment the HIMSS Analytics data base
– Based on data from 5,400 hospitals in the U.S. and 700 in Canada
• Why the structure? – It is the typical manner by which hospitals rollout enterprise clinical
systems
• Are there any usual variations? – Academic Medical Centers often have CPOE live to enable education for
the medical students and residents
• The first Stage 7 validation occurred in Q4 2008

What About Cost Efficiency? Some Ground Breaking Research on the Financial Effect of EMR Deployment
What We Found in Researching • Hospitals that implemented EMR between 1996 and 2009 did
NOT generally see a reduction in operating expense, EXCEPT: – Cost rise immediately during and following implementation and then
fall back to previous levels
• However: – Hospitals in locations with IT intensive industry found cost reductions
after three years – Hospitals in other locations found costs increased
– The initial cost increases was smaller for those in IT intensive locations

ARE YOU STILL QUESTIONING BAR CODE ENABLEMENT?
• Some Are …. But Why ??
4. Knowledge is shared and information flows freely 6. Safety is a system property.

Where Do Medication Errors Occur?
• 58% of errors occur in administration • 36% of errors occur in transcribing from
handwriting • 6% of errors in ordering, transportation, and
documenting1
1 JHCQ, Vol 26, #6, pgs 5-11
Medication Safety • Comparison with & without BCMA • Timing errors without & with bar codes2
– 6,723 without bar codes : 11.5% timing errors • 3.1% were judged serious ADE
– 7,318 with bar codes: 6.8% timing errors (-40.9%) • 1.6% were judged serious ADE ( -50.8%)
• Wrong Medications – 57.4% • Wrong dose – 41.9% • Improper documentation – 80.3% • Transcription errors: - 100%

Medication Safety • Sentara Health System – Stage 7 & Davies Award
– 12,459 Medication errors avoided per month • SSM Health System – Stage 7
– Journal of Health Care Quality sites 59% reduction in medication errors2
• University of Houston showed BCMA led to decreased time on medication administration and increased time on direct patient care in ICU3
• Medication errors reduced 58%, but timing errors did not change significantly4
• St. Joseph’s Candler reported 66% reduction of errors, excluding timing errors5

• From 1,465 medications administrations observed, errors reduced 56% - mostly timing errors5
• Cardiac surgery – Increased the quantity of drugs administered 21.7% – Increased drug charges by 18.8% – Decreased documentation time by 8 minutes per case6
• St. Jude’s Research Hospital - pediatric dosing & medication administration – Reduced ADE by 47%7

USING I.T. TOOLS TO IMPROVE PATIENT ENGAGEMENT •
Target Your Problems and Cohorts
• Rural north central health system attacked CHF readmission rate – Weight gain due to medication insufficiency or behavior factors, is a
strong predictor of readmission
• Gave away blue-tooth enabled weight scales to targeted CHF patients – Reduced readmissions by 42% over 12 months
Target Your Problems and Cohorts • Asthma protocol adherence was an issue with children &
teenagers – Use PHR to engage patients – Improved asthma protocol adherence from 6% to 78% in 18 months
– Teenage obesity & Fit Bits.. Create competitive cohorts with PHR
