Financial and Clinical Benefits of IT Implementation John P Hoyt EVP HIMSS Analytics
So, What Are Stage 7 Organizations? A Little background Required
Who Is HIMSS Analytics? A subsidiary of HIMSS We collect data on what information systems are deployed in healthcare systems in the U.S., Canada on a census basis On a sample basis in Europe, the Middle East and AsiaPac From this data, we populate the EMR Adoption Models
Complete EMR, CCDA transactions; Data Analytics to Improve Care Physician documentation (structured templates), full CDSS, full R-PACS Closed Loop Medication Administration = Bar Code Enablement CPOE, Clinical Decision Support (clinical protocols) 2011 Q2 2013 1.1% 2.9% 4.0% 12.5% 6.1% 22.0% 12.3% 15.5% Clinical documentation (flow sheets), CDSS (error checking), CDR, Controlled Medical Vocabulary, CDS, HIE capable Ancillaries - Lab, Rad, Pharmacy - All Installed All Three Ancillaries Not Installed 46.3% 13.7% 6.6% 10.0% 30.3% 7.6% 3.3% 5.8% Data from HIMSS Analytics Database 2012 HIMSS Analytics N = 5439 N = 5458
Why Do We Do It? Thought leadership Quality, Safety, Efficiency improvements To inform government policy Numerous countries and regions use HIMSS Analytics to gather data for their policy formulation Clearly the EMRAM model was a contributor to the architecture of the Obama administration s Meaningful Use program To reflect the market Where is the market heading To drive the market

Are You Still Questioning Bar Code Enablement? Some Are. But Why??
4. Knowledge is shared and information flows freely 6. Safety is a system property.
A Literature Review for Medications, Blood Products and Human Milk (EBM)
Medication Safety Compare nursing units with & without bar coded medications Timing errors without & with bar codes 1 6,723 without bar codes : 11.5% timing errors 3.1% were judged serious ADE 7,318 with bar codes: 6.8% timing errors (-40.9%) 1.6% were judged serious ADE ( -50.8%) Wrong Medications 57.4% Wrong dose 41.9% Improper documentation 80.3% Note: More errors were prevented on surgical and ICU units than medical units Transcription errors: from 6.1 errors/100 orders to 0 errors/100 orders 2.9/100 orders were P-ADE 1 N Engl J Med 2005; 353:329-331July 28, 2005
Medication Safety Sentara Health System Stage 7 & Davies Award 96% compliance on scanning 12,459 Medication errors avoided per month SSM Health System Stage 7 4 Serious ADEs per 1,000 errors prevented ~~4,000 per month across their health system Journal of Health Care Quality sites 59% reduction in medication errors 2 BCMA led to decreased time on medication administration and increased time on direct patient care in ICU 3 Medication errors reduced 58%, but timing errors did not change significantly 4 2 JHCQ, Vol 26, #6, pgs 5-11 3 Am J Health Syst Pharm. 2011 Jun 1;68(11):1026-31 4 American Journal of Health-System Pharmacy July 1, 2009 vol. 66 no. 13 1202-1210
Medication Safety From 1,465 medications administrations observed, errors reduced 56% - mostly timing errors 5 Cardiac surgery Increased the quantity of drugs administered 21.7% Increased drug charges by 18.8% Decreased documentation time by 8 minutes per case 6 Pediatric dosing & medication administration Reduced ADE by 47% 7 5American Journal of Health-System Pharmacy Vol 65, pgs 655-659 6 American Journal of Health-System Pharmacy Vol 66, pgs 1110-1115 7 The Journal of Pediatrics Volume 154, Issue 3, Pages 363-368.e1

So, What is Expected at Stage 7? Very Good Analytics Use Analytics to Find Care Issues to Address Use Analytics to Prove that IT Tools are Enabling Improvements
62% Reduction in Hospital Acquired Infections
Improvements in Immunizations: 77% to 97%
Obtaining HA1C Testing in Office
Mammogram Protocol Adherence From 55% to 71% in a Year
Find Patients Who Could Benefit From BRCA1 and BRCA2 DNA Testing Major University devised rules to search for child bearing age patients who have relatives with estrogen driven CA s Rule fired 1,355 times in October Generated 22 referrals Rule fired 1,478 time in November Generated ~140 referrals in November This tells us several things: A profound finding Hard to sell DNA testing
Predictive Alerting for Potential Readmissions 40 key variable are tracked to generate predictive score Alerts to physicians with advice on best practice updated hourly!
Their Model is at 80% Accuracy
Use Predictive Alerting to Drive VTE Alerts
Leading Organizations Use Externally Derived Data for Benchmarking
Using I.T. Tools to Improve Patient Engagement
Target Your Problems and Cohorts Rural north central health system attacked CHF readmission rate Weight gain due to medication insufficiency or behavior factors, is a strong predictor of readmission Gave away blue-tooth enabled weight scales to targeted CHF patients Reduced readmissions by 42% over 12 months
Target Your Problems and Cohorts Asthma protocol adherence was an issue with children & teenagers Use PHR to engage patients Improved asthma protocol adherence from 6% to 78% in 18 months Teenage obesity & Fit Bits.. Create competitive cohorts with PHR
Find That Which is NOT Intuitive Probably all hospitals track surgeons use of O.R. resources People, Time, Equipment, Expensive implements We all search for the most efficient surgeons Except. Do we track their patients over time? A stage 7 site tracked less expensive surgeons and found Higher infection rate Higher surgical revision rate They are not so cheap after all.
Do Not Underestimate Value of Data Visualization From This To This
