IT Investment Deterrents Total project costs Competition for limited funding Product limitations Shortage of skilled resources Cultural/organizational resistance Perceived high acquisition and maintenance cost Misaligned financial incentives Lack of demonstrable ROI Lack of critical mass Lack of standards (content, clinical relevancy, terminology, code sets, interoperability, clinical practice) Immature technology and EHR applications Disruption of operations during implementation Concerns over ongoing support Concerns over privacy, security and confidentiality No credible base of benchmarks for IT use and maturity
Western Europe: Healthcare and IT Trends
Hospital Numbers Are Shrinking All Across Europe Hospital counts in every country surveyed are shrinking hospitals) (Number of 4,000 3,000 2000 2,000 1,000 0 Austria Belgium Denmark Finland France Italy 1990 2004 Netherlands Portugal Spain Sweden Switzerland Hospital alliances and systems will be the future; a formal, tiered approach to care is evolving Reimbursement and social policy changes will lead to a de-emphasis of hospital-based care in favor of daycare, office care and home care Diagnosis related group (DRG) based reimbursement systems are becoming the norm in Europe
Healthcare is rapidly becoming an inter-connected ecosystem, with IT as its circulatory system Consumers Healthcare Payers and Governments Enabling consumers to get involved in managing their health Understanding increasing patient liability Improving quality of care (and of life) through remote home health monitoring Healthcare Providers Reimbursing for outcomes (P4P) Reimbursing for remote home health monitoring Pharma Clinical Research Organisations (CRO) Exploring pharmacogenomics combining genes + drugs to improve results More powerful drugs Advanced screening for disease Drug safety and tracking Personalized Health Information connectivity Translational medicine research driven clinical practice Reducing costs and improving patient outcomes Identifying patients for clinical trials Utilizing EMRs to supplement electronic data capture (EDC) systems
IT is the Key to This Transformation TREND Hospital systematization and affiliation Deployment of consolidated, national, patient ehealth records DRG-based reimbursement Shift in care setting Challenges to: Reduce costs improve quality of care improve process efficiencies Telemedicine Remote patient monitoring NEED Enhanced public network infrastructure Enhanced hospital infrastructure Expanded wireless infrastructure Adoption of data exchange standards EMRs Clinical and business intelligence SOA Enhanced security Improved backup and recovery
Increasing appreciation for IT s role IT has proven to play a significant role in: Improving coordination of care within the healthcare delivery system through increased sharing of health information among authorized individuals, elevating the standard of care for everyone Providing individuals with electronic access to their own health and wellness information, engaging them in opportunities for improving their health and well-being Improving the health of the community through the use of aggregated health data for research, public health, emergency preparedness and quality improvement efforts
but there is a need for an underlying infrastructure that can support the use of patient-focused electronic health information The building blocks associated with this infrastructure are: Electronic medical record (EMR) Electronic health record (EHR) Personal health record (PHR) Health information exchange (HIE) Health information organization/regional health information organization (HIO/RHIO) the challenge is to develop a common understanding of what these building blocks are and how they fit together in a cohesive model
Western Europe: Drivers of Increased IT/EHR Adoption Improve access to health information Anytime Anyplace Anywhere But not by anyone! Improve quality of care Clinicians can make informed decisions about treating patients Incorporation of evidence-based medicine tools Improve patient safety More extensive medication history and allergy information Advanced clinical decision support and alerts Reduces adverse clinical events Reduce costs Eliminates or reduces redundant tests and procedures Reduces costs associated with adverse clinical events Eliminates costs associated with transcription and storage of paper records
Electronic Records: The Terminology Electronic medical record (EMR) An electronic record of health-related information n an individual that can be created, gathered, managed, and consulted by authorized clinicians and staff within one healthcare organization Electronic health record (EHR) An electronic record of health-related information on an individual that conforms to national recognized interoperability standards and that can be created, managed, and consulted by authorized clinicians and staff across more than one healthcare organization Personal health record (PHR) An electronic record of health-related information on an individual that conforms to national recognized interoperability standards and that can be drawn from multiple sources while being managed, shared, and controlled by the individual Source: National Alliance for health Information Technology (US April 2008)
