Learn how Unity uses EHR to improve access to care for its medically underserved patient population. Learn how the EHR was used to shorten the claims payment cycle. Learn how the EHR is used to better utilize medical assistants in order to improve screening for tobacco use. 3
4 Overview About Unity Health Care Discussions of 4 Case Studies Overcoming Problems in EHR Governance and with Change Management Workflow Analysis and Improvement Creates Efficiencies in Claims Payment Improving Clinical Processes Using EHR EHR as a Tool to Improve Access to Care Lessons Learned Financial Considerations 4
5 Unity s Davies Team Members Ardell Butler, VP of Finance Angela Diop, VP of Information Systems Tracy Harrison, VP of Clinical Services Angelica Journagin, Director of Policy & Planning Diana Lapp, Deputy Chief Medical Officer Laura Zorrilla, Medical Service Revenue Cycle Manager 5
6 Unity Health Care, Inc. Federally Qualified Health Center 101,594 patients in Washington, DC 30 sites; health centers, homeless service sites, school based health centers, correctional sites, and a mobile site Mission Promoting healthier communities through compassion and comprehensive health and human services, regardless of ability to pay. 6
7 Unity s Patients Patient population is racially and ethnically diverse and largely minority. Substantial health disparities and poor health outcomes exist. Great need for accessible and comprehensive primary care services. 7
8 Health Information Technology Platform Customized version of an integrated practice management (PM) and electronic medical record (EMR) application Implemented EMR March December 2009 in a phased approach (6 phases) All clinical providers and staff use EHR 8
9 The Importance of EHR Governance and Change Management 9
10 Fall a Failing EHR Implementation Lack of solid plan Ineffective project governance Insufficient resources to work on the implementation IT project Project Status Go-lives postponed twice No real plan to change course Demoralized team Implementation Timeline 2007 Vendor Search 2008 Feb Engaged Vendor 2008 May First Go live Canceled Aug Second Go live Canceled 2008 Fall Self Assessment Hired Consultant 2009 Mar PM Go LIve Jun Dec EMR Go live 10
11 Design and Implementation 1. Self Assessment Conducted by Executive Management Interviewed staff, industry people and consultant 2. Assessment Results Lacked project management experience Understaffed Clinical and medical staff were not engaged 11
12 Design and Implementation 3. Identified and Devoted More Resources to the Implementation 4. Secured Project Management Resources 5. Developed a process for issues, concerns and change management FTE of IT and HIT Staff Before During and After Implementation 2008 Before 2009 During EHR/PM Analysts Data Analysts Project 0 6* 1 Management IT Subject Matter Experts Total * Includes consultants 2012 Current 12
13 Design and Implementation 7. Developed a training system 8. Developed support system 9. Developed a Governance Structure 13
14 Outcomes A solid technology platform. Disciplines are engaged in maintaining and enhancing the EHR. Teams once dysfunctional, now a model for other teams and projects. Profound impact on organizational culture 14
15 Workflow Analysis and Improvement Creates Efficiencies in Claims Payment 15
16 Background Prior to implementation, inefficient paper based process for handling claims. Original Process Encounter forms created at the sites. Forms sent using interoffice mail to centralized charge entry. Input into practice management system. Goal Develop a system where EHR is used to resolve outstanding claims efficiently, decreasing the amount of time required to process claims. 16
17 Design and Implementation 1. Configured the EHR to create claim statuses 2. Created reports to track claims 3. Created a new position Medical claims processors (MCP). 17
18 Design and Implementation Claims are created at sites 4. Designed workflow Claims review by MCPs before sending to billing If errors a note is sent with the claim to the med. Dir. or provider Provider corrects the claim and returns it to MCP MCP sends claim to billing 18
19 Design and Implementation 5. Trained staff 6. Roll out and monitor Piloted by Deputy CMO, then rolled out to all providers. Monitored by Deputy CMO and Revenue Manager by reports. Monitored by providers and MCPs through EHR Medical directors work with providers who are not addressing outstanding claims in a timely manner. 19
20 Outcomes Decline in the Days of Revenue in AR In 2008, number of days of revenue in AR was 67.6 days. By December 31, 2011, it declined to 49 days, a 28% decrease. Days Days of Revenue in AR Results $1.3 million of cash, or 1.6% of our operating budget, is available for operations that would not be available without this improvement. 20
21 Outcomes Increase in Net Revenue Per Visit Net Revenue per Visit Net revenue per visit increased from $93.08 in 2008 to $ in Dollars Due to a number of factors that include this intervention and changes in payor mix
22 Outcomes Decrease in Bad Debt as a % of Uninsured Revenue % Bad Debt as a % of Uninsured Revenue Bad debt as a % of uninsured revenue has decreased from 41.8% to 33.3%
23 Outcomes 8 of the 15 staff are certified coders or enrolled in training Revenue Manager s Staff Table 1 Year Staff Coder (Certified or training) 0 8 Result: MCPs have greater opportunity for career growth then they did in their previous role and their job satisfaction has improved. 23
24 Improving Clinical Processes Using EHR 24
25 Background DC is 10 th in the nation for tobacco use % of the adult population smokes. This case study discusses how medical assistants are a part of the team with their provider in screening for tobacco use in our patient population. 25
26 Design and Implementation 1. Developed and generated tobacco use documentation reports 2. Reviewed workflows 3. Revised workflows 4. Reconfigured the EHR 5. Trained clinic staff 6. Roll Out and monitor. 26
27 Outcomes MAs document tobacco use on 79% of patients. Tobacco Documentation % Providers assess, counsel and providing treatment options. 63% 79% 60% Providers assess 98% of tobacco users and provide interventions for nearly 60% of these patients. 0 0 Tobacco Use Tobacco Assessment Tobacco Intervention 27
28 Outcomes More accurate recording of all patients smoking status. Positive change in organizational culture - in alignment with the PCMH model and coordinated care Increased provider and MA job satisfaction. Documented over 783 patients who claim to have discontinued tobacco use. Nearly 600 of these patients had been counseled to quit by the health center. 28
29 EHR as a Tool to Improve Access to Care 29
30 Background Before EHR, patient scheduling was done at each site No practical way to communicate enterprise wide schedules Often missing one of the three essentials to patient care o patient o provider o information (the medical chart). Goal Leverage EHR to improve patient scheduling 30
31 Design and Implementation Phase 1 Installed a new phone system Piloted centralized scheduling Implemented EHR and practice management Phase 2 Created in-house scheduling center Developed scheduling experts 31
32 Design and Implementation Phase 3 Implemented a patient reminder system Improved scheduling rules 32
33 Outcomes % Increase in Kept Visits/Provider/Month % increase in provider productivity 1 Realized 12.1% additional revenue since $12.2 million through 2012 from increased revenues due to increase provider productivity. Millions $ Revenue from Increased Provider Productivity
34 Outcomes Significantly decreased no show rates 2008 no show near 36% No Shows 2010 no shows at 32%* 2012 (through Jun) no show rates at 28%. * (before implementing reminders) % Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun
35 Outcomes Decrease in abandoned call rate Abandoned Call Rate , abandoned call rate nearly 40% 2012 abandoned call rate is about 20% % Result: Greater patient satisfaction! In a 2011 survey, 85.5% of patients agreed with the statement it was easy for me to make an appointment. 35
36 Outcomes Decrease in average call wait times Call Wait Times 4.21 May of 2009 call wait times 4.21 min. 5 Minutes May 2009 June 2012 June 2012 call wait times 2.4 min. 1 0 Result: Again greater patient satisfaction! 36
37 Financial Considerations Our initial investment to implement the EHR was $5.5 million We received $1.98 million in grants from HRSA for our implementation 150 Eligible Providers for Meaningful Use Will receive $4.4 million from the incentive program between now and June of
38 Lessons Learned It is critical to have an implementation plan and adequate resources to implement. Returning claims to the originator for correction is a great learning tool. EHR has made it necessary to create new positions giving us the opportunity to upgrade skills sets of staff. We can have a major impact on provider productivity and revenue by focusing on the efficiency of other staff. 38
