1 Direct EHR Exchange A New Reality with National HIT Promise December 1, 2011 New York ehealth Collaborative Digital Health

2 Objectives To share the understanding that: Patient care can be enhanced by enabling EHRcentric workflow data exchanges that are physician useable. EHR exchanges can occur due to technology advances and EHR vendor collaboration. Standards-based patient data exchanges as a health Internet-based services provider is a nearterm scaleable solution. 2

5 Direct EHR Exchange How it works Albany Medical Center is preparing its internal capability to exchange patient clinical data between its EHR and those of its affiliated physicians. A patient s clinical data can be securely moved over the Internet and "land" in the workflow tasking features of a provider's patient-specific EHR, allowing both parties to do away with paper faxes and mail copies, and the extra steps required to also scan the associated paper document into the patients EHR. 2. Direct network routes referral to specific EHR 1.Physician refers patient to hospital or specialist 3. Hospital or specialist treats patient 5 4. Direct network routes care summary to specific EHR

6 Direct EHR Exchange The key uses of our EHR Direct exchange capability are to eventually support our: Affiliate physician providing us with specific patient data that enable a referral request, including the reason for the referral, patient demographics, allergies, immunizations, active medications, problems, lab and other exam results, vital signs, HPI, and chief complaint. Medical Group practice physician group providing our affiliate with specific patient data that describes what occurred during a clinic visit, including the clinical summary from the encounter and other information as described above. Albany Medical Center Hospital providing our affiliate with specific patient data that describes what occurred during the hospitalization, including the discharge summary, problems, procedural notes/interpretations, medications at time of discharge, and lab results. 6

7 Direct EHR Exchange What it takes Albany Med has the capability to support this exchange for its Siemens Soarian and Allscripts Enterprise EHRs. Other EHRs as have been involved in efforts with MedAllies and state their ability to support such an EHR Direct exchange for the version/releases noted: Allscripts Enterprise 11.2 HF 9 Greenway PrimeSuite NextGen 5.7 Siemens Soarian Clinicals 3.2 with Advanced Interoperability Service eclinicalworks 9.0 7

8 Direct EHR Exchange Physician practices need to understand how the workflow elements of this exchange work for their respective vendors and do the necessary "build" work with the EHR to allow it to package and send the care document to Albany Med's EHR as well as to receive and display our care document upon receipt. Further, these services will be securely routed via the Internet with a service likely hosted by MedAllies, and an agreement with that party will be necessary. Additionally, the active physician rosters of the practices must be kept current with MedAllies record locator capability. 8

17 American Recovery & Reinvestment Act (ARRA) HITECH February 17, 2009 First Steps Adoption of certified EHRs Meaningful use of EHRs Incentive payments to eligible professionals and hospitals Investment in nationwide HIT infrastructure Grant money for demonstration projects The Intended Destination High quality, safe, effective, and equitable care for all Seamless patient-centric care Realigned incentives and measures that foster prevention, intervention, coordination, effectiveness Regional clinical information interoperability on a national backbone The goals are quality and efficiency If we encourage better performance, then physicians are going to find ways to improve. And health information technology is one crucial way to do that. David Blumenthal MD, MPP Former National Coordinator for Health Information Technology, ONC 17

31 Agenda How It All Began Allscripts EHR Integration 31

32 How it All Began Allscripts & Albany Medical Center has a Long-term Strategic relationship George Hickman, CIO, AMC has been leading the vision to connect healthcare providers in Hudson Valley through Direct Standards Participants Multiple EHR vendor o Allscripts, Siemens, NextGen, Greenway, eclinicalworks, Epic MedAllies HISP Allscripts EEHR Participants o Albany Medical Center, Community Care Physicians 32

33 The Direct Project Allscripts Goals Support the Direct standards for data exchange between EHRs Support Clinical data exchange standards for the state of NY To enable Clinical workflows that o Allow physicians to do referrals among Allscripts and Other EMR o Support additional data exchanges within respective EMRs Leverage a HISP (MedAllies) to enable data exchange 33

34 It Has Been More than Software Development Participation in Working Groups: Best Practices, Communications, Implementation Geographies, Reference Implementation Design Clinical Workflows: that support large and small physician practices IDDUINEM (if doctors do not use it, nothing else matters) 34
