Market Drivers / Key Priorities
Key Drivers for LTC HIT Reduce Hospital Readmissions Census, Census, Census Cost containment in face of reimbursement cut-back o Professional Staff efficiencies; desire to eliminate time consuming error-prone manual processes and redirect staff to providing quality care Regulatory Concerns o HIPPA HITECH o Meaningful Use pressure ACOs information needs/requirements Litigation Risk Avoidance
Factors That Raise Risk Multiple complex health issues Increased documentation demands Complex medication regimens Resident physiological changes Legibility issues with handwritten paper charts
Key Themes Achieving better outcomes by enabling providers to work smarter together Connecting those involved in the person-centric care delivery process Operational efficiencies reducing costs, doing more with less Better information supporting better decision-making on care
HIT Priorities Today - Connecting Connecting those involved in the personcentric care delivery process o Secure Conversations o Practitioner Engagement o Hospitals ACOs HIEs Interoperability o Meaningful Use Approved Technology o Family & Friends Access
HIT Priorities Today Operational Efficiencies Operational efficiencies reducing costs, doing more with less o Centralized administration o Improve the Medication Management Processes o Integrated Lab and Radiology Results o Integrated Devices (weights & vitals) o Mobility documentation captured as services are provided o Workload estimating o Automation
HIT Priorities Today Better Information Better information supporting better decision-making on care o Embedded clinical protocols / decision support i.e. einteract o Quality Improvement Processes such as QAPI o Embedded analytics o Enterprise Dashboards o Population Health Management
Deeper Dive einteract Practitioner Engagement Interoperability
einteract
What is INTERACT? INTERACT ( Interventions to Reduce Acute Care Transfers ) is a quality improvement program designed to improve the care of nursing home residents by: o Preventing conditions from becoming severe enough to require hospitalization through early identification and assessment of changes in resident condition o Managing some conditions in the NH without transfer when this is feasible and safe o Improving advance care planning and the use of palliative care plans when appropriate as an alternative to hospitalization for some residents
einteract workflow Stop and Watch Nursing Alert(s) Intelligent Assessment / Care Paths No=fy Physician Advanced Care Planning? SBAR Transfer? CCD / Transfer Form Revise Care as necessary
Practitioner Engagement
Background Said they would use mobile EHR functions Customized, simplified versions of charts Apps optimized for touchscreen Physicians chose iphone over Android Would integrate tablets
Practitioner Engagement Market Drivers Need for up-to-date access to relevant clinical data to support better clinical care decisions by practitioners Time-consuming and error-prone manual paper signature processes Compliance risks Need to support meaningful use requirements for eligible providers Reduction in preventable readmissions
Practitioner Engagement Priority Features o Secure Conversations o Order Signature Management o Simplified Chart Access o Physician Encounters and Monthly reviews o eprescribing and Voice Dictation

Key Challenges in Driving Adoption Access to funding (infrastructure, implementation, and on-going maintenance) Grants often driving spending decisions; not always in the best interest of the SNF Change Management Expanding to the unknown (resistance to change) Industry Noise Being taken down rabbit holes (HIEs here today, gone tomorrow) Lack of standardization on key processes
Integrated Medication Management Improving the Medication Management Process
A Closed Loop Medication Management Solution
Closed Loop Medication Management Medica=on Receipt Process Facility ADT ADT Capture Informa=on Physician Order Entry Medica=on Review Pharmacy Order Reconcilia=on Pharmacy Dispensing System Dispensing AdjudicaCon Process Clearing House
Focus on Standardized Workflows Facility Dispense Medication Therapeutic Interchanges Telephone/Verbal Orders Refill Requests Pharmacy New Order Prescriber New Orders
Bi-directional Solution in a Nutshell Transmits physician order info to and from the pharmacy Securely accessed over the Web Real-time accuracy and dependability Easily manage the entire order lifecycle Supports therapeutic interchanges and complex orders Streamlined medication administration processes
Method for Obtaining Orders Today Communication Method 14% 1% Physician Entered 44% Phone Written 41% Verbal
Practical Approach
Frequent Obstacles Aging technology Non-standard processes (manual processes developed and tweaked over decades) Manage Change o Nurses not familiar with order entry process; resistance to change Funding of Capital Cost Investment for technology/devices to support emar Industry noise
Status update for Integrated Medication Management
How Do We Prioritize Pharmacies? Dispensing system integration testing completed Opportunity to serve greatest number of existing customers Length of Enrolment in the Exchange Program Configuration / Processes have been tested Commitment to rollout
Status of Dispensing System Integration Beginning work on NCPDP transition - will likely cause some disruption in our broader rollout strategy Frameworks: Completing 5 pharmacy pilot on Framework HL7 interface - multiple buildings each. 4 pharmacies live QS/1: Vendor Certification completed. Final testing being completed with first pilot pharmacy. Two others starting testing HBS & RNA: some testing has been completed
Changes in Motion to Improve Certification Process Improved documentation; creating a Playbook by Dispensing System Development of a Fast Track program; for pharmacies utilizing a tested model Additional resources to support UAT/Pilots Initiating Pharmacy Census in Advance option
Checklist to Get Moving
What Can You Do? Become an Exchange Partner Option to move ahead with Census / ADT interface (can move more quickly than full orders interface) Start Certification testing Requires testing environment Fixed set of test cases + any additional recommended by pharmacy (6-8 weeks, 60 hours) Opportunity to document pharmacy best practice for filling orders / handling certain scenarios User Acceptance Testing (1-2 weeks, 15 hours) Work with initial pilot home to do a mock go-live using real-world data Total of four pilots to test different go live scenarios (e.g. customer already running emar vs Order Import) (4 months)
Things to keep in mind Most successful implementations have pharmacies that embrace and support their customers through the transition What will be required to support integration effectively 24/7? Standardized processes ensure systems can talk well together and achieve consistent results Training for your pharmacy staff Resources need for managing and troubleshooting HL7 / SCRIPT messages Do not underestimate the amount of work involved to support and maintain a scalable solution
