1 Optimizing your EHR: How to get the most from your EHR investment after go-live Bruce Kleaveland President Kleaveland Consulting, Inc.
2 Learning Objectives: Define additional job functions needed to support the EHR Anticipate predictable issues associated with first year Develop strategies to solve these issues Identify add-on projects to optimize your EHR investment 2
3 #1 Objective after go-live is adoption Adoption=integration into provider/practice work flow 3
4 Adoption is a dependent variable Adoption Support & Leadership Technical Stability 4
5 Technical Stability Definition: A reliable technical infrastructure that maximizes uptime The first 90 days of go-live requires the greatest level of support (as the system is load tested) Persistent hardware & software issues interfere with user adoption Technical stability is a function of the quality of initial setup, the EHR software, and staffing to support network 5
6 Support & Leadership Training & support to assist users with learning the system Ability to fine tune and adjust workflow Technical support to resolve technical issues Physician/practice leadership to keep the project moving forward despite the challenges 6
7 People required to support an EHR Physician Leader Advocacy & problem resolution Content & configuration (help build & enhance EHR) Time required:.20 FTE IT Analyst Support hardware & network Training, troubleshooting & upgrades Time required:.5 to 2.0+ FTE EHR/Training Lead Training, troubleshooting & upgrades Content development & special projects (i.e. order entry) Time required:.33 to 1.0 FTE 7
8 Maintain EHR workgroups EHR workgroups should carry over to post-implementation phase including relevant reps, i.e. Physicians/owners, nursing & MAs, administration, medical records. billing office and IT support Regular (i.e. weekly or bi-weekly) meetings with general staff to build support, educate, create enthusiasm and address issues Establish training infrastructure for new employees and to support existing staff 8
9 Incremental approach Based on functionality (easy to more difficult) e.g. Viewing of Data E-prescribing Encounter Documentation Advanced EHR features Based on locations/providers (for multi-site practices) Pilot site with technically enthusiastic & competent group to establish baseline for other offices An office should not have split implementations (some using and some not) 9
10 Big Bang Typically requires all providers to message, abstract charts, e-prescribe, and document encounter through EHR May require all providers to enter data utilizing templates (to standardize data and lower transcription costs) Multiple locations typically done one at a time Provides the most rapid return, but requires the most support 10
11 Physician adoption curve System has to serve the majority Innovators and early adopters are fairly self-sufficient There will always be laggards 11
12 ID & support of reluctant MDs Reluctant MDs typically have poor typing skills and limited computer familiarity Supporting reluctant MDs: Additional education and one on one support Allow dictation (to minimize workflow change) Scribes/nursing support (data entered by 3 rd party) Voice recognition Incremental approach (vs. big bang) 12
13 Optimizing technical support Understanding of the vendor s basic operating & escalation procedures Operating hours & specific contact numbers/ /web Methodology (leave a message or wait on hold) Event tracking (i.e. open ticket number) On-site support options & expense Contact info for tech support/customer relations managers Basic terms should be defined in contract or SLA (service level agreement) 13
14 Service level agreements (SLA) SLAs should define: Response time by severity of incident Down (system not usable) Critical (issue severely impairing use) Standard (non-critical issues) After hours support policy and prices Escalation policies Upgrade policy (included or separate fee?) Customer web site capabilities Customer requirements & responsibilities i.e. hardware support, backup, personnel training 14
15 Troubleshooting Utilize good troubleshooting techniques Isolate the problem Hardware, software, or operator issue A bug or feature deficiency? Replicate Can you easily repeat the problem? Document Allows effective tracking & communication of issue 15
16 The Blame Game Practice EHR Vendor Hardware Vendor 16
17 Breaking the blame game Practice s responsibility: good troubleshooting and documentation of issue through a primary contact EHR/Hardware vendor s responsibility: understanding of causal factors so that problem can be resolved Requires collaboration between all three parties Advice: use telephone conferencing and scheduled meetings to help resolve difficult issues 17
18 Measuring success Technology adoption by clinic & staff Technical stability of the system Other measures dependent on objectives of project: Coding levels (i.e. % of level 3 vs. level 4 visits) Physician productivity (patients/per day) Transcription expense Chart retirement Requires baseline measurement of pre-ehr status 18
19 What happens after Year 1 Build new content (i.e. progress note templates) Add new modules New EHR features Order entry Practice Management Patient portal/secure Add new accessories Enhanced document management Card scanners, signature capture Refine/update network/hardware infrastructure 19
20 Case Study: Summit View 8 providers, 38 additional staff Family Practice, 1 location 72 PCs, 40 printers, 3 servers Per FTE cost (hardware/software): ~$40K/provider 5 year ROI Modified Big Bang (EHR & PM) 24 exam rooms, 2 procedure rooms, 1 treadmill room Contract signing to go-live: ~12 months 20
21 Post-implementation staffing Physician leader during selection retained role during implementation and post-implementation Health IT Adoption Committee (formed during implementation) continued post-implementation Hardware support provided internally with assistance from third party New staff training infrastructure created No new hires--but existing positions modified to support EHR 21
22 Organizational support for EHR 22
23 Day to day staffing EHR Analyst Former FTE RN Part-time (~15 hrs/week) Focus on work flow, template development, new projects Staff Assistant to EHR Analyst Full time in medical records department Supports analyst on projects on part-time basis (~15hrs/wk) IT Help Desk Roughly half time on IT support/projects (also functions as referral coordinator) Supported by third party IT (utilize between 50 to 100 hours per year) 23
24 Transition of paper charts Dictation saved for pre-loading EHR Chart summarized as patients scheduled (starting before go-live) Dictated summary note by physician Nursing staff assisted for specific items (i.e. immunizations) After summary, chart is marked & retired to basement Total paper charts: 50,000+ No additional pulling of charts after 9 months Chart room re-claimed for medical records staff 24
25 Strategies for physician adoption Schedule lightened & gradually increased (50% 90%) during first 5 days; at full productivity by Week 2 Weekly education/motivation meetings for first 6-9 months of the project (food included) All physicians continued to dictate during Year 1 Gradual transition to EMR templates One provider at a time starting with most technically astute After 5 years 7 of 8 providers are utilizing templates All new providers exclusively on templates 25
26 The retired chart room 26
27 A rough chronology after go-live Year 1: Focus on user adoption Years 2-5: Focus on optimization including Utilization of additional EHR features Transition of providers from dictation to templates Transition to thin client hardware network Intranet resource library developed ( Knowledge Base ) Participation in QI organization based on EHR data Upgrade to Windows-based practice management Transition to electronic encounter form Addition of accessories to support paperless office (fax server, signature capture, card scanner, document management) Next major project: order entry 27
28 Document management system 28
29 Card scanner 29
30 Signature pad 30
31 Benefits Improved coding & reimbursement Templates help support more accurate coding Access to charts by billing staff supports auditing Lower costs ( $110K in annual transcription expense alone) Reduced labor overhead ( ~5 FTEs) Primarily in medical records area Improved charting documentation Improved customer service and staff morale Instantaneous access to charts improves customer service Technology makes staff more productive (and happier) 31
