8 Helpline e-referrals Three hospitals / systems implementing bi-directional e-referrals - three different EHR s : - Chickasaw Nation Medical Center - RPMS - Mercy - Epic - first Oklahoma bi-directional e-referral system! - first Oklahoma multi-hospital and clinic system implementing bi-directional e-referral system. - Duncan Regional Hospital - Meditech - single regional rural hospital - clinic sites in Duncan

9 Helpline e-referral Three hospitals in various stages of clinical implementation and e-referral development : Lawton Indian Hospital Indian Health Service - RPMS - SW Oklahoma St. Anthony Hospital (2 hospitals + clinics) - Epic - OKC metro area W.W. Hastings Hospital Cerner - Cherokee Nation, NE OK

10 Two Health Systems of e-referral Development

11 Chickasaw Nation Medical Center Governor Bill Anoatubby Judy Goforth Parker, DNP Administrator Division of Health

12 Chickasaw Nation Medical Center Under the direction of Heather Summers, Under Secretary of the Health Department 1 Hospital 53 licensed beds - Acute care - Women s health - Emergency department - 3,100 admissions each year Outpatient clinics in Ada, Ardmore, Tishomingo - Primary care and Diabetes Care Center

13 Chickasaw Nation Medical Center Electronic Health Record (EHR) RPMS - Resource and Patient Management System - Used in all CNMC hospitals and clinics - Used by IHS facilities nationwide - Changes to EHR RPMS have potential to be expanded to all IHS facilities regionally and nationally

14 Chickasaw Nation Medical Center OHA, OSDH Tribal Liaison met with CNMC to begin planning implementation of comprehensive tobacco treatment for patients July 2013 Key health providers formed the implementation work group Work group met regularly for 18 months EHR changes comprised the bulk of the group meetings Buy-in from all work group members

15 Chickasaw Nation Medical Center IT staff attended all meetings and interacted with Helpline vendor during development, testing, launch and post launch Strong support from Oklahoma Tobacco Helpline staff to facilitate troubleshooting and system streamline IT staff had both IT knowledge and clinical knowledge Team attitude can do Hospital launch Mid-November 2014 Clinical launch Jan March 2015

16 Mercy Health System Hospitals: 10-1 large urban hospital OKC: 380 licensed beds - 9 hospitals serving rural areas: 541 licensed beds - Acute Inpatient Discharges : 15,901 - Emergency Visits: 55,361 Outpatient Clinics: 65 - Outpatient Visits: 1,102,939 - Primary and specialty care

17 Mercy Health System EHR Epic 2014 Among the first health care organizations in the U.S. to have a comprehensive, integrated electronic medical record - over 7 years ago Utilized by all hospitals and clinics

18 Mercy Health System Conversation with OHA staff and leadership in the fall of 2011 Meetings with Mercy leadership (Oklahoma) continued over a few months OHA and Mercy entered into a contract beginning July 2012 to implement a comprehensive tobacco treatment system for all patients

19 Mercy Health System Contract included partial fiscal support for a full time Tobacco Treatment Coordinator to facilitate entire process Initial focus began on outpatient clinics with outpatient work group A comprehensive work group for inpatient and outpatient was also formed

20 Mercy Health System Meetings with 22 outpatient clinics provided information to OHA from physicians - if the protocol is not imbedded in the EHR, including Helpline referral, it won t happen Changes to EHR began in the fall of initial focus on outpatient clinics - changes would apply to all areas using the EHR - minor tweaks for inpatient EHR

21 Mercy Health System Process took 2 years due to complexity of the system and several delays - IT staff turnover due to corporate layoffs - unclear processes administratively - Coordinator staff turnover - - unclear oversight responsibilities OK vs Corporate led to delay in getting corporate IT involvement Launched 65 clinics Jan April 2015 Launched OKC hospital June 2015 Other hospitals launching over the next 6 mos
