  1. PHIPA Presentation:Taking the HI Road to Privacy Richard Alvarez President & CEO

  2. Last Year in Canada • 35 million Diagnostic Images • 440 million Laboratory Tests • 2.8 million Inpatient hospitalizations • 382 million Prescriptions • 3.4 million Vioxx Prescriptions in 2003 for patients that had to be contacted in 2004 • 322 million office-based physicians visits - 94% resulting in handwritten paper records • 60,000 physicians faced 1.8 million new medical papers in 20,000 journals and 300,000 clinical trials worldwide 2,000 transactions/minute require documentation & information flow Information is the lifeblood of our healthcare system

  3. In spite of spectacular advances in medicine, the foundation of healthcare delivery is still primarily paper-based

  4. Calls for Accelerated EHRs • First Ministers continue to recognize the necessity of EHRs in their “10-Year Plan to Strengthen Health Care” • Acceleratedevelopment and implementation of the electronic health record, including e-prescribing. • Recommended a National Pharmaceuticals Strategythat would “broaden the practice of e-prescribing through accelerated deployment of the Electronic Health Record” • Health Council of Canada’s first report recommends an “immediate broadening of the use of IT” • “Electronic patient records will pay huge health dividends in improved patient safety and lives saved”. • “Canada can and should achieve this goal for all Canadiansin five years – not fifteen”.

  5. And Why Not? The Stakes are Enormous

  6. 1000 hospital admissions 1000 patients discharged from hospital 1000 laboratory & radiology tests        1000 women at risk of cervical cancer 1000 patient visits with a Specialist 1000 post-heart attack patients 75 people suffer an adverse event 90 suffer a serious problem with drugs received on discharge Up to 150 are unnecessary duplicates 300-400 are not screened 680 Specialists received no patient info 370-460 don’t receive recommended Beta-blocker therapy Reality Behind the Headlines Lack of Patient Data affects access, safety & quality, productivity • For Every …. …. in Canada In study of 168 traditional medical records 81% did not have the information required to make patient care decisions CIHI estimates up to 24,000 deaths each year result from preventable adverse events in hospitals, in large part due to incomplete information

  7. Improving access Wait time reduction Health human resources Home care Primary care reform National pharmaceuticals Strategy Public health Health innovation Aboriginal health Accountability “Electronic health records and telehealth are key to health system renewal ” First Ministers 10-Year Health Accord, Sept 2004 How do we fix this? Canada’s healthcare renewal agendaA 10-year Plan to Strengthen Health care - Priorities Better Information Management is a critical element underlying healthcare renewal

  12. Canada’s Strategic Response to EHRs Challenges • F/P/T governments’ recognition that challenges best met with a national commitment that can • Develop solutions that operate across organizations, clinical systems, & jurisdictions • Share risks and costs across a broad constituency • Collect and share best practices • Help establish and drive standards for interoperability • Provide platforms for National Public Health Surveillance systems • Increase the market size and hence private sector responsiveness • Canada Health Infoway launched as an independent, not-for-profit corporation, equally accountable to 14 F/P/T governments • $1.2B Capitalization - invests on a 75/25 basis with provinces & territories for eligible project costs. A unique approach was adopted, based on collaboration across Canada’s healthcare jurisdictions

  13. Canada Health Infoway • Mission • To foster and accelerate the development and adoption of electronic health information systems with compatible standards and communications technologies on a pan-Canadian basis, with tangible benefits to Canadians. To build on existing initiatives and pursue collaborative relationships in pursuit of its mission. • Goal • To have an interoperable electronic health record in place across 50 percent of Canada (by population)by the end of 2009

The 71 projects jointly developed with provinces and territories are shown. In addition, 47 national projects are also underway. Registries Diagnostic Imaging Drug Info Systems Lab Info Systems Telehealth Interoperable EHR As at end of Q1, June 30th 2005.

  21. An ExampleDiagnostic Imaging Systems • 20 active, 2 completed, in 10 jurisdictions • Reduces patient transfers & waiting for results • Improves interpretation of diagnostic results • Cut travel to view film; increase remote readings • 20% productivity radiologists,10% specialists • Productivity adds capacity of 5-10 M exams • “Shared Service” = economies of scale • Avoids $350 M yr duplicates, film, handling • $1 Billion in total annual savings estimated “With the system up and running, I have become a better diagnostic radiologist. I don’t think there‘s any doubt” Dr. K Wong, Radiologist, Fraser Valley Better results at less cost Infoway Toolkits capture all phases of the projects to reduce cost and risks for other jurisdictions

  22. Alberta: Province-wide DIS with e-prescribing, drug profile, adverse-reaction alerts Ontario: Ontario’s Drug Program information, initially Emergency room access Saskatchewan: Province-wide DIS for 95% of meds prescribed Developing clinical drug messaging standards. Drug claims message standards already developed …. When VIOXX was pulled from the market, it took our practice just one hour to produce a report on patients who had been prescribed the medication, allowing us to contact every one of them the same day.” Dr. Sue MacLean, Founding Partner,Markham Family Physicians; Infoway’s Senior Medical Advisor (formerly) Example: Drug Information Systems7 projects in 7 jurisdictions Expect $3.6 billion annual savings, Canada wide, avoiding adverse drug reactions and drug compliance issues

Phase 0/1 Projects Phase 2 Projects Completed

  26. Challenges • Progress has been slower than planned • Ability of some jurisdictions to support several programs • Capitalization insufficient for 100% Canada-wide • Adoption / Acceptance by healthcare professionals • Privacy (Security)

  27. Privacy and Security • Addressing privacy and security issues are key to the success of the EHR. • End users (patients, physicians, health facilities) must have confidence and trust that privacy and security are being adequately addressed. • 80% of Canadians rate EHRs as a strong improvement over paper records in terms of the effectiveness for all those involved in the health care system and for the system overall.* • 84% agree that timely and easy access to personal health information is integral to the provision of quality health care.** • *EKOS survey of 2000 Canadians, 2003 • **EKOS survey of 2500 Canadians, 2004

  28. Privacy and Security • Many reasons are given for supporting the EHR, the most frequent being: • increased access to and availability of health records • a faster, more efficient health system • cost-effective • BUT Canadians want access and use of the information to be appropriately limited*. • AND they want clear assurances that privacy is being protected and respected. For example, by: • Being able to find out who accessed your health records and when 72% • Making it a serious criminal offence for anyone to access the record with authorization 66% • Requiring there to be a clear and accessible privacy policy 59% • The ability to access, verify and report corrections to your record at any time 57% • Knowing that it was supported by your doctor 57%** • *EKOS survey of 2000 Canadians, 2003 • **EKOS survey of 2500 Canadians, 2004

  29. Infoway’s Privacy Mandate • Infoway’s mandate and role – • Infoway fosters and accelerates the development and adoption of interoperable electronic health information systems • Infoway is a strategic investor • Infoway does not create the systems and does not manage the systems • Infoway does not hold data or manage repositories of data • Infoway’sprivacy mandate - • Infoway’s funding agreement requires it to: • “incorporate the protection of personal health information in its activities in accordance with applicable laws and privacy principles.” • Infoway achieves this by: • ensuring that privacy and security are addressed in the projects it funds • working to identify and leverage best practices for re-use across the country • working to ensure that projects adopt an interoperable approach

  30. Meeting Infoway’s Privacy and Security mandate • Infoway ensures that privacy and security are addressed in the projects it funds • Infoway requires every project it supports to conduct a Privacy Impact assessment. • PIAs are expected to describe how the system will function and how it will address privacy rules in place in the jurisdiction. • This means that developers must consider privacy in all phases of a project, (design, development and deployment) not after the fact. “Privacy by Design:Don’t Make Privacy An Afterthought –Build It In” Ann Cavoukian, Ph.D. Information & Privacy Commissioner/Ontario

  31. Meeting Infoway’s Privacy and Security mandate • Infoway works to identify and leverage best practices for re-use across the country • Infoway’s pan-Canadian view means that if a project in Ontario is looking at technical solutions for anonymizing data we can support that work and ensure it is available for another jurisdiction to consider in its projects.

  32. Meeting Infoway’s Privacy and Security mandate • Infoway works to ensure that projects adopt an interoperable approach • Infoway has worked with technology and privacy experts across the country to develop: • A statement of privacy requirements • based on the guiding principles set out in the • Legislation • The CSA Model Code, • the FPT pan Canadian framework, • ISO 17799, ISO 27799 • A privacy and security architecture • based on the statement of privacy requirements • developed to provide a guide for the development and implementation of secure and privacy enhancing interoperable EHRs. • it is flexible - jurisdictions can implement the privacy protective features that are consistent with their local legislative requirements.

  33. What is the Privacy and Security Architecture? The Privacy and Security architecture: • operationalizes pan-Canadian healthcare privacy rules and best practices. • provides system developers, users and managers, with an inventory of privacy and security functions that need to be considered when building and managing a system, for example: • Identity management – how users (and potentially individuals) are accurately identified by a system • Access control – how users (and potentially individuals) gain access to the system • Information consent management – how the system will address the consent rules in place in the jurisdiction • Auditing – what processes will be in place to audit access, use and disclosure in the system • Encryption - will data be encrypted? When? How? What needs to be considered when creating, renewing and revoking encryption keys?

  34. Meeting Infoway’s privacy and security mandate – looking ahead • Infoway recently hired a Chief Privacy Strategist, Joan Roch. She will be: • Communicating with stakeholders about Infoway’s privacy and security initiatives • Assessing what more Infoway can do to address privacy concerns within Infoway’s mandate. For example, • governance • Successful and effective systems require rules that outline things such as • Who can access what data • Who will have responsibility for what parts of the system • Etc. • Interoperability requires that the rules be relatively consistent • Rules must address both technical and organizational aspects of a system • The EHR involves multiple stakeholders • Who should define the rules?

  35. Conclusions • EHRs are key to a modern 21st century health system. • They will drive significant improvements in • efficiency, • quality, • safety, • sustainability, • productivity, • access and • the quality of healthcare that benefits all Canadians. • ‘Getting privacy right’ will be key to the success of the EHR.
