4 Learning Objectives & Agenda Illustrate lessons from managing and maintaining large HIE with 3.6+ Million individual patient records Evaluate pains and gains of connecting with 46+ EMR s Discuss maturity and shift in strategy of a HIE by pay for performance healthcare reform Explain the strategy and plans of NYULMC HIE clinical data analytics.

5 Agenda: Private Health Information Exchange (HIE) What and Why? How is NYULMC able to maintain a large EMR portfolio Care 360 for patients in the community Geographical coverage and future plans Healthcare reform and Clinical Analytics System maturity migrating to a new HIE 2.0 platform Summary of learning objectives Surprise Quiz Q&A

6 Benefits Realized for the Value of Health IT HIMSS Value Steps - HIE Satisfaction = Introducing a communication interface to share clinical data between providers and institutions Treatment: = Proactive and efficiency in care of patients Electronic Information/ Data = Notification and clinical result delivery faster than ever Prevention and Patient Education = Repository of clinical data to patients Savings = $$$$ are saved by reducing clinical data and process redundancies

15 NYULMC Overview? Agility Value Add Focused Attention Rapid Strategic Alignment NYULMC HIE Established Mid 2011 Privately Funded by NYU Langone Medical Center Goal Central Repository of clinical information For Community Providers TO Review, reference and share data to provide Care 360 to Patients

16 How is NYULMC using it? Optum HIE (Axolotl) 1.5 current platform (SaaS) CCDA & Hl7 V2 compatible ADT, Lab results, Rad results, Dermatology, Pathology, EKG, Medications, Allergies, Discharge summaries& transfer forms, Images (X-ray, CT scan, MRI), Notes, Notification and Result delivery Connection to HEALTHIX NY state RHIO 426+ connected EMRs Target 46 Direct and hub model 200+ Independent Private Practices and Institutions Providers accessing and sharing data 3.6 Million + Patient Lives Processing 1 Million + transaction per month

Technical incompetency Talent Acquisition Non standardize support and follow-up. Managing Practice expectation. Gains: Value of setting standards Data being collected from various sources. Ease for the Partner Providers One time setup in HUB spoke Model Create a true central repository for clinical data. Alive ability to share clinical data

18 Care 360 with help of Technology - Benefits For Providers: Providers gain immediate access to valuable clinical data that provides a more holistic view of patient health when using the HIE Providers will be able to reduce unneeded patient visits and lower the cost of care Providers can begin to embrace the powerful benefits of trend and pattern analysis toward new decision-making frontiers HIE facilitates evidence-based medicine and creates a potential positive feedback loop between health-related research and actual practice For Patients: Patients can expect improved payment coordination & smoother care transitions Patients can embrace opportunities for increased involvement in their healthcare Duplicative procedures or tests will be reduced and visit satisfaction will be improved when patients opt to participate in the HIE For the Community: The collection and linking of data across the HIE facilitates extensive and robust community health records that can foster the ability to quickly detect, respond and efficiently prevent threats to public health The HIE will also enhance public health practices at all levels of government through infectious disease case investigation and health surveillance
