1 IBM Healthcare and Life Sciences Dynamic Infrastructure Smarter Planet: Healthcare Interoperability Solutions Marcin Kaczmarski December 2009

2 OUR VISION IBM Healthcare and Life Sciences: Let s Build a Smarter Planet SMART PLANET INSTRUMENTED INTERCONNECTED INTELLIGENT OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE PATIENT-CENTERED COLLABORATION VALUE-FOCUSED HEALTHCARE Our vision is to bring a new level of SMART to how the world works how every person, organization, and system interacts. Each interaction represents a chance to do something better, more efficiently, more productively. As the systems of the planet become smarter, there is hope for meaningful new progress. 1

3 Four Themes Enable Smart Healthcare Data is exploding and it s in silos I need insight New business and process demands I need to modernize My infrastructure is inflexible and costly I need to respond quickly Our resources are limited I need efficiency How can providers take advantage of the wealth of information available in patient records to make more intelligent care decisions? How can providers collaborate more easily, supported by flexible and dynamic processes modeled for the way they make decisions? How do providers create an infrastructure that drives down cost, is intelligent and secure, and is just as dynamic as today s business climate? How can provider s align their goals and behaviors with their evolving responsibilities, so that patient-centered healthcare becomes a reality? Healthcare Analytics Collaborative Care Dynamic Infrastructure Streamline & Transform 2

4 The Fundamental Problem Patient medical information is regionalized, fragmented and neither standardized nor integrated across healthcare organizations It is estimated that there are more than 785 million health care tests conducted each year in the United States. The lack of interoperable systems to effectively communicate the results among the various providers who need to review them is consuming 1 billion hours of administrative processing time just to get the data in the right place, according to one estimate Million Healthcare Tests/Year - Scott McCabe, EMRs vs. Information Convergence, April

5 Clinical systems and IT operational roadblocks Challenges to overcome... - Applications own the data, with unique formats and patient identifiers - No single patient registry to accurately link patients and validate identity - Complexity of aggregating the information needed to support effective collaboration between and among organizations and medical specialists - Lack of patient access to an integrated view of my health information... Toward Patient-Centric Collaboration - Care coordination across healthcare organizations - Integrated health information is available at each episode of patient care - Cost-effective and flexible infrastructure - simplified, optimized and secure - Flexible, scalable and manageable components - Non-disruptive high availability network integration and performance 4

14 PACS (Imaging Applications) Pain Points PACS owns the Data - Proprietary Formats & Headers Tags - Metadata stored in proprietary database and not in image itself - Presentation States and Notes not compatible among systems Difficult to collaborate between Cardiology, Radiology, etc. - PACS data managed in silos - Viewing applications are PACS-specific Data Migration required for - PACS replacements - Infrastructure changes (Media) - PACS upgrades 13

16 Why a PACS Neutral Archive? Eliminate the need for expensive data migration - On-the-fly data format conversion between disparate PACS Improve patient care through better cross-departmental collaboration - Timely access to all images across an enterprise regardless of PACS, storage or location - Ability to interrogate and present complete patient information across all systems - No change to PACS look and feel Realize cost efficiencies by centralizing archive management - Storage consolidation - Intelligent Information Lifecycle Management Enable standards-based growth to full enterprise records management - Standards-based interface support (HL-7) - Creation of XDS-I manifest and optional XDS-I registry and repository - Straightforward future integration of XDS and EMPI 15

17 Enterprise Patient Records Management 16

18 Healthcare EHR Pain Points Clinical applications own the data - Proprietary formats and user interfaces Applications do not talk to each other - Proprietary communication interfaces Providers cannot access data from all locations Providers identify the same patient differently Patient data managed as files, not as information - Not all images and reports should be managed identically Patient data exchange must be secure and monitored - Access must be limited to people and applications with a need to know 17

21 Completing the Puzzle Adding cross-enterprise document sharing and master patient indexing to the interoperability solution image-enables the patient record and provides the ability to share the record across the healthcare enterprise. Health Information Exchange - IHE cross-enterprise document sharing (XDS and XDS-I) - Centralized search for patient data across different applications and clinical locations using dissimilar patient identifier schemes DICOM Enterprise Archive - Application independent image data archive used by multiple independent imaging applications - Manages image/dicom data Storage Management with Information Lifecycle Management - Managed flow of Healthcare data and metadata from creation and initial storage to the time it becomes obsolete and is deleted - Differential backups are done on files as they change 20
