Learning Objectives Provide context on the importance of applied health informatics for care delivery organizations in operational innovation and research efforts Demonstrate the role of integrated delivery systems in accelerating the impact of health informatics on daily patient care Present brief case studies of applied informatics at Baylor Scott & White Health (including lessons learned) Discuss key opportunities for the health informatics community to support and collaborate with integrated care delivery systems 3
Baylor Scott & White Health (BSWH) More than 500 patient care sites including 43 hospitals in North and Central Texas 5.3 million patient encounters annually 34,000 employees 6,000 affiliated physicians Scott & White Health Plan $8.3 billion in total assets $5.8 billion in total net operating revenue 4

The IHI Triple Aim Better Care for Individuals As described by the six dimensions of health care performance listed in the Institute of Medicine s 2001 report Crossing the Quality Chasm : safety, timeliness, effectiveness, efficiency, equity, and patient centeredness (i.e. STEEEP Health Care). Better Health for Populations Through attacking the upstream causes of so much of our ill health. Reducing Per Capita Costs Costs should be reduced by eliminating waste, needless hassle, and what does not make sense in our health care system. Costs should not be reduced by eliminating any helpful care or by increasing the risk of harm (i.e. flat cuts in reimbursement do not meet this parameter). 10

Clinical Decision Support Clinical Decision Support is a process for enhancing health related decisions and actions with pertinent, organized clinical knowledge and patient information to improve health and healthcare delivery. Information recipients can include patients, clinicians and others involved in patient care delivery; information delivered can include general clinical knowledge and guidance, intelligently processed patient data, or a mixture of both; and information delivery formats can be drawn from a rich palette of options that includes data and order entry facilitators, filtered data displays, reference information, alerts, and others.

IT Platforms Converge in ACOs Accountable Care is a method of health care reimbursement that holds providers responsible for delivering high quality, low cost care ACOs are provider led organizations with a strong base of primary care that are measured by quality and total per capita costs across the full continuum of care for a population of patients Integration and coordination are the cornerstones of ACO operations Reliable and progressively more sophisticated health IT will be required to support ACOs 23
