3 Massachusetts Healthcare IT Drivers Meaningful Use Stage 2 Reporting Starts October 2013 All Provider Requirement January 2017 Physician License Requirement Starts January Meaningful Use Stage 2 requires use of an HIE, starts in October 2013 Physician Licensing Requirement Starts - January 2015 Massachusetts requires physicians to be proficient in the use of health information technology as a condition of licensure. Proficiency, at a minimum, means demonstrating the skills related to the meaningful use requirements. All Providers on EHRs and the HIE - January 2017 All providers (not just physicians) in the Commonwealth shall implement fully interoperable electronic health records systems that connect through the statewide health information exchange Massachusetts ehealth Institute.

98 Reliant Medical Group has undergone a clinical practice transformation enabled by a properly configured, implemented and optimized EHR and HIE with analytics and clinical decision support Using a talented team, user feedback, and reporting from the EHR, we have: Eliminated steps that are no-longer necessary Improved steps using EHR's ability to leverage patient and medical information Shifted work to lower-paid staff with physician-specific preferences Shifted work to the EHR Creating new processes that were only possible because of the Epic EHR and HIEs 98

99 Because of the EHR, HIEs, clinical decision support, and analytics, we improved the quality, outcomes, safety, efficiency of, and satisfaction with, healthcare delivery 99
