29 EHR Donations The regulations permit the donation of certain technologies by certain donors to certain recipients on a cost sharing basis
30 Permitted Technology Software necessary and used predominantly for electronic health record purposes, such as creating, maintaining, sending and receiving electronic health records for clinical diagnosis and treatment for a broad array of clinical conditions must include e-prescribing functionality may include non-ehr functionality, so long as it doesn't predominate must be interoperable
31 Can be donated: Cannot be donated: Training on the Software Maintenance for the Software Help-Desk Services for the Software Hardware and related operating systems Storage devices Direct staffing and services necessary to migrate paper records to the EHR Software Staffing for the recipient s office
32 Selection of Recipients by Donor Donor may use any method of selection that does not directly take into account volume or value of referrals. Permissible criteria include: total number of prescriptions written total hours devoted to medical practice size of the physician practice (total patients, total patient encounters, etc) medical staff membership level of uncompensated care provided by the recipient
33 Recipient Requirements Donor cannot have actual knowledge, or act in reckless disregard or deliberate ignorance, of the fact that the recipient possesses or has obtained items or services equivalent to those being provided by the donor Donor cannot restrict the recipient's right to use the items or services for any patient
34 Value provided by Donor Donor may provide 85% of the total cost of the permissible donated items Recipient must pay 15% of the total cost of the permissible donated items Donor cannot finance Recipient's 15% cost allocation

36 In Summary Biggest Hurdles Additional initiatives impacting IT operations. Conversion to ICD-10 by 2013 X12 version 5010 for HIPAA transactions (700+ data elements from 300) Compliance Unrealistic timelines Certification guidelines not final Clinical system vendors not enough experience to support numerous new installers? Lack of HIT staff (est. 60,000 shortage) Timeline needed for implementation CPOE Functional issues e.g. Counting orders to determine the denominator for CPOE adoption % - manual chart reviews. Lack of national patient identifier to eliminate mistakes in monitoring patient records in HIE. Low adoption levels currently learning curve significant
