IOM Quality Chasm Report
• “If we want safer, higher‐quality care, we will need to have redesigned systems of care, including the use of information technology to support clinical and administrative processes.”– IOM, Quality Chasm report, 2001
What is Meaningful Use? • Meaningful Use is using certified EHR technology to– Improve quality, safety, efficiency, and reduce health disparities
– Engage patients and families in their health care – Improve care coordination – Improve population and public health – All the while maintaining privacy and security
• Meaningful Use is required to receive incentives and avoid penalties
• 2014 Standards and Certification Criteria

Meaningful Use HIE Requirements
MU Stage 2 Transitions of CareCore Objective
MU Stage 2 Medication ReconciliationCore Objective
The EP/EH/CAH that transitions a patient to another care setting or care provider or refers a patient to another care provider provides a summary care record for each transition of care or referral.
The EP/EH/CAH that receives a patient from another care setting or care provider or believes an encounter is relevant should perform medication reconciliation.

Meaningful Use HIE Requirements
Transitions of Care Measure 1
Measure 1
The EP, EH, or CAH that transitions or refers their patient to another setting of care or provider of care provides a summary of care record for more than 50 percent of transitions of care and referrals.
Transitions of Care Measure 1
Transitions of Care Measure 2
Measure 2
The EP, EH, or CAH that transitions or refers their patient to another setting of care or provider of care provides a summary of care record for more than 10 percent of such transitions and referrals either:• Electronically transmitted using
CEHRT to a recipient OR• Where the recipient receives the
summary of care record via exchange facilitated by an organization that is a Nationwide Health Information Network (NwHIN) Exchange participant or in a manner that is consistent with the governance mechanism ONC establishes
Transitions of Care Measure 1
Transitions of Care Measure 2
Transitions of Care Measure 3
Measure 3
An EP, EH, or CAH must satisfy one of the following:• Conducts one or more successful
electronic exchanges of a summary of care record meeting the measure specified in Requirement 2 of this section with a recipient using technology to receive the summary of care record that was designed by a different EHR developer than the sender's CEHRT certified OR
• Conducts one or more successful tests with the CMS designated test EHR during the EHR reporting period

MU Stage 2 Medication Reconciliation Core Objective
Objective:• The EP, EH, or CAH who
receives a patient from another setting of care or provider of care or believes an encounter is relevant should perform medication reconciliation.
Measures:• The EP who performs
medication reconciliation for more than 50 percent of transitions of care in which the patient is transitioned into the care of the EP.
• The eligible hospital or CAH performs medication reconciliation for more than 50 percent of transitions of care in which the patient is transitioned into the care of the EP or admitted to the eligible hospital's or CAH's inpatient or emergency department.

Why the attention on interoperability?
• “Unless interoperability is achieved, physicians will still defer IT investments, potential clinical and economic benefits won’t be realized, and we will not move closer to badly needed healthcare reform in the US.”
– Dr. David Brailer, HHS National HIT Coordinator, May 21, 2004

• Nationwide Health Information Network (NwHIN)– Services, standards, policies, trust fabric

Direct Project Facilitates Meaningful Use
• Other Providers/Authorized Entities:– Clinical information – Labs – test results– Referrals – summary of care record
• Patients:– Health information – Discharge instructions– Clinical Summaries– Reminders
• Public Health:– Immunization registries– Syndromic surveillance
Direct Project facilitates the communication of many different kinds of content necessary to fulfill meaningful use requirements.
