  1. http://www.ahcccs.state.az.us/eHealth/Presentations/Endsley.ppthttp://www.ahcccs.state.az.us/eHealth/Presentations/Endsley.ppt Electronic Health Record (EHR) Adoption in Arizona:A View from the Frontlines Scott Endsley MD MSc Medical Director, System Design Health Services Advisory Group

  2. Health Services Advisory Group • Medicare Quality Improvement Organization (QIO) for Arizona • Founded in 1979 by Arizona doctors and nurses, HSAG is one of the most experienced QIO’s in the nation. • Dedicated to improving quality of care delivery and health outcomes through information, education, and assistance • Partner with physicians, health plans, nursing homes, hospitals

  3. Most Healthcare Comes from Small Practices • 1460 primary care practices • 92% 1-3 physicians • 98% less than 8 physicians

  4. Health Information Technology Use in Arizona • AzAFP/ACP/AOMA Survey (Jan-March 2005) • Harris Survey (Maricopa County Medical Society) Summer 2004

  5. Key Findings • 87% have high-speed Internet access • 13.5% currently using electronic health records • 25% ready to purchase in next 2 years • 29+ electronic health record vendors active in Arizona market

  6. Office Practices are Saying…. • Drug checking, reminders sound great, but can I afford this as a solo practitioner? • Will I be able to connect with my hospital? • Will the vendor be able to support my needs? • Will my patient’s information stay private? • Most of my colleagues still use paper, shouldn’t I wait till electronic medical records are the standard of care? • I have been using paper for 20 years, how will I ever get them all into my electronic medical record?

  7. The IT Adoption ‘Gap’ How do we get here We are here

  8. PREDICTING THE FUTURE • Tipping point in next 3 years • Interpersonal effect 20x more potent than mass marketing effect Source: Ford et al. “Predicting the Adoption of Electronic Health Records” JAMIA, 2006, 13: 106

  9. IT Market Failure: A Prisoner’s Dilemma • $1.6 billion in health care • Highly fragmented delivery and financing models • Asymmetric risk assumption and benefit sharing • 12% DECLINE in proportion of pay for performance programs with IT incentives • IT incentives small = 4% of total incentive. Are you locked behind your medical loss ratio?

  10. If HIT were a Gallon of Gas…. We spend 400X LESS than Great Britain

  11. $28K $12.3K $16.6K $2.2K $2.5K Per “Average” Provider Annual Cost Saving Projections Only 11% ($3080) accrues to physician

  12. The Market Opportunity $200 Billion Market

  13. Costs • Highly variable (e.g. $3,000- $134,000) • Components: • Hardware • Application (both primary and 3rd party) • Training • Support • Maintenance • Interfaces

  14. Bridging the GAP Ten Key Strategies • Demonstrate relative advantage • Triability • Observability • Use multiple channels of communication • Work with homophilous groups • Stay tuned to changes • Social networks • Opinion leaders • Compatibility • Infrastructure Source: Cain and Mittman, Diffusion of Innovation in Health Care, Institute for the Future, May 2002

  15. Barriers to Electronic Transformation • Financial • High up-front cost • Underdeveloped business case • High initial physician time costs • Technical • Inadequate technical support • Lack of standards • Security and privacy Behavioral • Concerns about IT effect on office culture Organizational Change • Patient-physician communication • Workflow changes • Technical competence • Staff Training

  16. Hard Dollar Benefits Example Conditions Amount Hard DollarBenefits ROI ~$33,000/provider starting at 2.5 years after investment, most of which accrues from better coding and charge capture

  17. Doctors Office Quality Information Technology (DOQ-IT) Initiative • 3-year initiative of Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) focused on small to medium sized primary care practices • Aim: transformation of care through widespread adoption of electronic technologies in office practice • State Quality Improvement Organizations have developed technical assistance services Expand the Adoption Rate by 5-6%

  18. Roadmap • ASSESSMENT – practice readiness, workflow analysis • PLANNING – make business case, prioritize needs, set goals • SELECTION – identify options, evaluate, decide, contract • IMPLEMENTATION – prepare, build interfaces, go-live, problem solve • CARE MANAGEMENT- chronic care redesign, report data, improve Vendor Selection Care Management Assessment Planning Implementation

  19. DOQ-IT Services • EHR University • Onsite consultations • Web resources – www.azdoqit.org • Physician Champions Network • IT Events/ Vendor Fairs

  20. DOQ-IT Support

  21. Our Website – www.azdoqit.org • Tools & Resources • Consulting Services • Arizona IT news & events • Register for EHR University • Complete Practice Readiness Assessment

  22. Early Lessons from Frontlines • Cost and loss of productivity concerns • Huge disinterest on part of payers • Second wave of adoption • Free isn’t free enough • Waiting for the government solution

  23. University of Arizona implementing Allscripts systems across 22 site network • Arizona Community Physicians implementing Allscripts across 89 providers • Arizona State Physicians Association promoting Synamed to 900 practice network • Arizona Medical Clinic implemented GE Centricity, uses as basis for pay for performance • Canyonlands Community Health Centers rolling out NextGen across 5 clinics • …..and many more clinics and organizations engaging in electronic transformation

  24. Yuma Regional Center for Border Health • Administer a discount care program – Community Access Program of Arizona (CAPAZ) • 52 providers, 500 patients • Exploring use of CCR-based technology to track patients (especially medications across Arizona/Sonora border)

  25. Our Challenge • Define electronic health care as the standard • Close the technology gap-help small offices find ways to finance technology • Assist practices accomplish the practice redesign to effectively use new technologies, including use of data for improvement • Connect all parts of the healthcare system including consumers

Ferrante, MSEE, MSEPP President FEFGroup, LLC Past Chair, Medical Technology Policy Committee IEEE-USA, Washington, DC Presented at 28th IEEE EMBS Annual International Conference Aug 30-Sept. 3, 2006, New York City, New York, USA

  44. Outline • Why Electronic Medical Records? • Software Sample/hardware samples • Barriers/Standards for EHR • HIPAA Security and Privacy Regulations • Medical data transmission requirements • Wireline and Wireless Telecommunications Services Security • Security of Patient Medical Records • References

  45. Why Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) • Time spent filing and pulling patient charts, searching for charts • Time re-creating records if destroyed by natural disaster or accident • Cost of supplies to maintain charts • Cost of facility space for records (can better use of space be made?) • Storage and Backup Cost • Transcription services cost • Cost of doing nothing today • Better Security/Privacy Maintainable

  46. Software/Hardware Supporting Digital Medical Records • Electronic Medical Record (EMR)Software • Soapware - check it out $300 Starting Price see: http://soapware.com/ • e-MDs Electronic Medical Record Support Software http://www.e-mds.com • a4Healthsystems EMR and Access systems http://www.a4healthsystems.com • Companion Technologies http://www.companiontechnologies.com • Security and Privacy - all EMRs must be protected • Sample approach: indigenous authentication of digital information (US Patent 6,757,828 B1 of June 29, 2004) by Signa2 http://www.gjtdc.com • Backup routinely onto remote servers or storage offerings

  47. What are the Barriers to EHR and e-Health Implementation?* • Lack of a Unique Personal Identifier • Lack of HIPAA Compliant Middleware • Lack of Incentives • No Paradigm or “First Mover” for Some System Components • Evolving Standards • Disincentives • Lack of an NHIN Architecture • [Fear of Cost/Benefit] * [Corr 06]

  48. Barriers and SolutionsIdentifiers and Middleware • Lack of a Unique Personal Identifier: • Solutions: • Voluntary Personal Healthcare Identifier (IEEE-USA Voluntary Healthcare Identifier Position Statement, 17 June 2004) • Center for Certification of Health Information Technology Multiple ID Approach (Provider ID + Provider Unique Personal ID) • DOD Common Access Card Model • Lack of HIPAA Compliant Middleware: • Solutions: • RHIO Contracts • Marketplace Solutions • Shortcomings: • Public Health and Research Interfaces may not be included HIPAA compliant Identification, Authentication, and Access * [Corr 2006]

  49. EHR Standards Evolution* • International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD) from ICD-9 to ICD-10 • ASCI X12 Version 4010 to ASCI X12 Version 5010 (HIPAA Business Transactions) • National Council for Prescription Drug Programs Telecommunication Standards from version 5.1 to version D.0 • Conversion of all standards to XML * [Corr 06]

  50. HIPAA Security and Privacy Regulations • Health Insurance Portability Assurance Act (HIPAA) • Security - Required stronger and more focused provision of security around medical information (supports maintaining of information privacy) • Privacy - Enforces increase in privacy protections for medical information (Not just speaking privacy- required under penalty if failure occurs)
