4 What s the difference? EMR, EHR, & HIE EMR = Electronic Medical Record 1 Simply put, an EMR is a replacement to your paper charts WITHIN the four walls of your office. HIE = Health Information Exchange 2 Health Information Exchange (HIE) is the term used to describe large-scale electronic communication of patient information between unaffiliated healthcare providers. EHR= Electronic Health Record 3 If you think of an EMR as what is INSIDE the four walls of your office, think of EHR as an EMR that is connected to other healthcare providers through HIE Capital Medical Blvd., Tallahassee Florida HIE@HIEnetworks.com Copyright 2011 HIE Networks

9 MU Compliance For MU Stage 1 - HIE is a component to one of the 15 core measures and 3 of the the 10 menu measures Core measure #14: Capability to exchange key clinical information among providers of care Menu measure #1: Capability to submit electronic data to immunization registries or immunization information systems and actual submission in accordance with applicable law and practice Menu measure #2: Capability to submit electronic syndromic surveillance data to public health agencies and actual submission in accordance with applicable law and practice Menu measure #10: The EP who transitions their patient to another setting of care should provide summary care record for each transition of care or referral For MU Stage 2 and 3 HIE menu measures are moved to core and requirements are placed on where information lands (i.e. either an HIE or 3 disparate systems) Capital Medical Blvd., Tallahassee Florida HIE@HIEnetworks.com Copyright 2011 HIE Networks

12 Data controls is key Different HIE Models EMR Vendor Driven Payer Driven Provider Driven 1 A single EMR vendor is at 2 Payer is at the center of the center of the HIE and the HIE. 3 allows providers to get access to patient records Payer controls data. and, in some cases, pull information into their EMR. A single EMR vendor often contol all data and what can be done with it. Doesn t address the entirety of the healthcare community. NOTE: Currently payers have access to piles upon piles of CLAIMS data. THEY NEED CLINICAL DATA that is behind the claims data to better manage their risk. Providers are at the center of the HIE which means that they control their own data. Each connected party controls their own data which means you decide what can and cannot be done with it! This is the model of Big Bend RHIO and Gulf Coast HIE. 4 Government Driven Capital Medical Blvd., Tallahassee Florida HIE@HIEnetworks.com Copyright 2011 HIE Networks

24 Data Types and Data Flow (discrete data) To build an HIE system that works you must understand what data is available and how it fits into a healthcare providers workflow Capital Medical Blvd., Tallahassee Florida HIE@HIEnetworks.com Copyright 2011 HIE Networks

25 What you must know Interfacing 1 2 Interfaces involve two sides because they involve more than one software system = $$ They can be fairly complex They can take a long time to get done b/c of software providers limited resources & their strategic focus. Make sure your contract provides language that includes your HIE. Once your contract is signed, you are NOT in control anymore. Make sure that the interface is bi-directional and includes the appropriate data sets you are interested in both sharing with the community and receiving from the community. ALWAYS have a technical person (healthcare I.T. consultant) review your contract prior to signing it! Capital Medical Blvd., Tallahassee Florida HIE@HIEnetworks.com Copyright 2011 HIE Networks

26 Lessons Learned (Just a Few) The need for HIE is local, we must exchange data locally first Minimal local exchange infrastructure currently exists The healthcare transformation common denominator is HIE required for ACO s & PSN s HIE lags well behind EMR focus & funding yet must be achieved in parallel EMR adoption without HIE provides limited overall efficiencies Focused effort on existing clinical data repositories could facilitate tremendous HIE in months Capital Medical Blvd., Tallahassee Florida HIE@HIEnetworks.com Copyright 2011 HIE Networks

29 Resource Articles HIE isn't If its When The one constant in healthcare reform whether its PSN s, ACO s or a hybrid is that we must transform the paper into discrete date elements for analytics to better manage risks, create efficiencies and improve chronic disease management.
