What Does it Look Like? A health care setting that provides patients with: well-organized & on-time visits enhanced access with their own provider & care team for continuity (same day appointment availability, 24/7 telephone access, alternatives to the 1:1 visit) proactive care management (evidence base clinical care, panel management, reminder systems, registries) care coordination across settings (assistance with referrals, tracking for tests & referrals; care during transitions) patient activation, engagement & participation in decisions on care (patient centered customer driven) connections to community resources to extend resources for care focus on health outcomes & goals for improvement data driven use of Health IT as tool to support the achievement of advanced primary care practice
What Makes It Work? Well-trained workforce organized as multi-disciplinary care teams Mutual accountability among the team and between team and patients System designed to support care management & coordination through enhanced access, continuity and information availability Cross boundary cooperation & partnership among all provider types Technology infrastructure for information management & exchange Payment reform to support the work

QUIZ TIME!
A practice is on its way to meet medication reconciliation criteria because its patient portal enables post-op access to a clinical summary of care including a medication reconciliation list. Does this meet meaningful use criteria? NO! WHY NOT? MU criteria specifically addresses transitions of care thus providers have to be trained to use a specific code to identify a post-op visit as a transition of care event. This is an EMR awareness, a workflow issue, and a data flow issue.
Is a practice that offers a HI for patients to download from a portal, and the patients download the HI themselves, complying with the MU menu measure of providing a HI on request? No, (says Health Data Management Magazine) Because the practices do not get requests and cannot attest to providing HI on request because patients download the HI themselves
Did you know If your e-pms feeds data to your EMR, then it must be Certified

PCMH Factor 5 A5 Notifies patients/ Family If a lab is abnormal, the providers will attach a note to the lab, along with a task for the nurse to notify the patient/family and any necessary action needed. Patient chart showing abnormal lab results The provider tasked the nurse to contact the patient and review results
Conclusions/Recommendations Planning to accomplish both initiatives involves carving a pathway that practically applies the overlaps to gain time and multiple goals. Interpreting standards and requirements into policies and procedures; documentation, and a narrative that proves the points These two initiatives, especially MU Stage 1 are foundational. This means that it is essential to recognize building the initiatives correctly. They lay in the method, effort, and the way of operating In a way these are quality improvement, process improvement and outcomes improvement projects that are HIT enabled & enhanced
