9 Use Case Introduction What is a Use Case? A use case is an easy to understand description detailing the interaction between an actor (human, organization, system) and a system under consideration. For HIway purposes, it identifies a set of trading partners and source and destination systems and describes how they intend to use the Mass HIway. Why do we use them? Use cases are developed with the goal in mind, which makes them a valuable planning tool. A well-crafted use case communicates the functional requirements that may then inform technical planning. Having them available prior to technical discussions helps scope the technical solution and accelerates the technical evaluation process.

10 Use Case Introduction (cont.) How they should help you? Use case development requires an understanding of the business need the issue you seek to resolve or opportunity on which you intend to capitalize. Defining your need early in the process will accelerate later development efforts and provide a basis for evaluating success. Examples: I need to join the HIway» Way too ambiguous Our Practice needs to generate and securely send summary of care records to my patients specialists to meet MU2, Transition of Care criteria.» Provides initial needed details to guide plan development, scope the effort and establish priorities

11 Use Case Elements Use case name Goal Story Trading partners and systems Data to exchange 11

12 Use Case Benefits Identifies the clinical / business need before solution development mitigating rework and delays Facilitates initial scoping, project planning and effort prioritization Supports selling your request to management you have done your due diligence to articulate value, not just functionality Supports identifying the project team / stakeholders 12

13 13 Implementing your use case

14 Implementing your use case There are (2) parts to exchanging via the HIway: From the EHR to the HIway gateway From the HIway gateway to the intended recipient Your implementation approach will establish priority efforts 14

24 FACILITATING PATIENT REFERRALS FROM A COMMUNITY HOSPITAL TO A HIGHER ACUITY MEDICAL CENTER ORGANIZATION Berkshire Health System Suburban Internal Medicine Baystate Medical Center GOAL 1) Reduction of diagnostic tests (e.g., blood work) - with an HIE connection, we can avoid situations where current test results exist but are unavailable; 2) Increase the number of patient files transferred electronically TRADING PARTNERS AND SYSTEMS Berkshire Health System > planned: MEDITECH (via LAND) & Allscripts (via MedAllies HISP); current: HIway Webmail Suburban Internal Medicine > planned: Allscripts (via MedAllies HISP); current: HIway Webmail Baystate Medical Center > planned: Cerner (via PVIX from/to the HIway); current: HIway Webmail STORY Berkshire Health Systems (BHS) will enable health information exchange among its providers, its Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems and with its trading partners. BHS and their trading partners will bidirectionally exchange health information for critical patients, including cardiac patients in the midst of an acute MI who need urgent surgical intervention. These cases call for immediate, comprehensive, compatible, and accurate data sharing. BHS, Suburban Medical and Berkshire OB/GYN will each capture consent at the check-in. Upon seeing the patient, the provider will record the clinical encounter in the respective EHR, then - using webmail - will send health information supporting the referral to Baystate Medical Center. Once care is completed, they will then receive information back from Baystate as the patients are returned to them for continued care. DATA TO EXCHANGE CCD - summary of care

33 Immunization Data from Ambulatory Practice to Public Health Department ORGANIZATION(s) Ambulatory Practice and the Massachusetts Department of Public Health GOAL To achieve Meaningful Use 2 objective- submission of electronic data to immunization registry and to meet M.G.L. c. 111, s.24m, which requires all licensed health care providers who administer immunizations to report all immunization data to the Massachusetts Immunization Information System (MIIS) TRADING PARTNERS AND SYSTEMS Organization A - ambulatory practice, using EHR interface to submit immunization data to MIIS via the Mass HIway Organization B Mass Department of Public Health using MIIS DATA TO EXCHANGE STORY A provider administers an immunization to a patient and this data is entered into the patient s record within the practice s EHR. The EHR then sends this information as an HL VXU message to the Massachusetts Immunization Information System (MIIS) at the Massachusetts Department of Public Health via the Mass HIway. The message is sent to MIIS s Mass HIway Direct address. MIIS processes the message and determines it was received successfully. At this point an HL ACK message is generated and sent back to the ambulatory practice s EHR to confirm successful receipt of the original message. HL VXU message from ambulatory practice to Mass DPH HL ACK message from Mass DPH to ambulatory Practice

36 Key Takeaways HIEs enable inter-and intra-organizational exchange To get started, review existing referral and care coordination patterns Use case generation facilitates initial scoping, project planning and effort prioritization. Further, they identify the clinical / business need before solution development mitigating rework and delays Elements of a use case include: 1. Use case name, goal, trading partners 2. Story, systems, data to exchange Engage your clinical and business leaders early discovering what you want to do takes time, pulling the team together takes longer. 36
