5 EMR/EHR The needed tool The silver bullet The lynchpin The cornerstone The data 5

6 As we develop these electronic interfaces, it would be wise to remember why we practice medicine, and to develop devices that are more transparent and do not get between us and our patient. Vondell Clark, M.D. Mooresville, NC 6

7 Quality is achieved when we can concentrate on our patients and not get distracted 7

8 Tank versus Sedan 1. Slow, cumbersome 2. Too tall 3. Poor visibility 4. High gas consumption 5. Costly to buy 6. Has to have a special driver 7. Etc. 8

9 What is your response if a hospital buys a fleet of tanks to the tune of $200 million and insists doctors have to use the tanks instead of your sedans to go to work? 9

10 Healthcare Business Week April 2012 Broadcast 55% have purchased EMRs 29% have reported complete failure Great % use EMR only for erx Only 12% actually use it Failure cost is $50,000 per doctor per year 10

11 Satisfying Conflicting Priorities, Pleasing 2 Masters Patient-Doctor Encounter Formulation of Dx/Rx Plans (workflow) Public health/public policy OR One patient at a time Population health & cost 11

12 Conflict or Complement Meaningful Use Patient Doctor encounter Formulation of Dx/Rx Plans (workflow of the doctor) 12

13 DON T WORRY There is a way to do this We ve to find the ingredients 13

14 MAKE LEMONADE OUT OF LEMONS Increase Quality, while on call, out of the office Anywhere Anytime (24/7) 14

15 Advantages 1. Fulfill Meaningful Use 2. Save office floor space 3. Avoid chasing & filing charts 4. Multiple people can access chart simultaneously 5. Save transcription cost 6. Lower overhead 15

16 More technology is not always better The right technology at the right dose, at the right time, at the right cost 16

17 The world can never be 100% paperless Your practice can never be 100% paperless 17

18 Be Careful of 1. Security 2. Downtime in installation 3. Length of training 4. Decrease patient volume 5. Is it costly? 6. Increase or decrease staff 7. Billing/scheduling Best of Breed 8. Unnecessary disruption 18

19 Explanation & Disclaimer Certified by ONC-ATCB Encrypted, SSL, etc. Real time duplicate server Emergency recapture As diligent as humanly possible But. 19

20 EHR/EMR: Pointers & Pitfalls 1. (a) Local server vs Hosted (b) One office vs multiple offices 2. Redundancy, emergency recapture 3. Hotel model vs Stadium model (Too close, too open, best of both worlds) 4. Interconnectivity vs Interoperability 20

21 EHR/EMR: Pointers & Pitfalls 5. (a) Accurate vs automatic coding (b) Justification of code 6. Smart code 7. Macros vs. Macro Plus 8. Template, cloning 9. How to get the clinical information back? 21

22 The most difficult to record accurately, efficiently, honestly and legibly and/or in a structured manner is the HPI, the Physical & Dx/Rx Plans & not the lab tests, prescriptions, ICD s etc. 22

23 Clinician Workflow 12 steps for the Enabler, the tool, the EHR/EMR 1. Patient ID: name, DOB, SS#, chart #, language, ethnicity, race, gender 2. Meds/allergy to meds 3. Review of Systems (ROS) I, II, III 4. (a) Previous HPI & physical (c.c., H&P) (b) Current HPI & physical (c.c., H&P) Write (ink technology, stored electronically, not on paper, eliminate paper charts) Type Voice recognition Dictate to transcriptionist Macros, Macros plus Customized digital H&P (Decision Tree) 23

24 Our Workflow 12 steps for the Enabler, the tool, the EHR 5. Access to test-reports quickly & intuitively (filing cabinets) 6. e-prescribe, frequently used meds 7. Order & track tests, e.g. MRI, have an In Box 8. Order & track referrals 9. Order & track future surgery 10. Code & code guide 11. Next appointment 12. Referral letter, educational materials, instructions to patients 24

25 Collection of Structured Data by Staff 1. Demographics 2. Medication list 3. Allergy to medication list 4. Capture ICD-9 s 5. Vital signs, Ht, Wt, BMI 6. Smoking history 7. Lab results 8. Family & social history 9. DROS III (all encompassing now & future) to fulfill MU 25

26 DROS I Screen shot 26

27 DROS II Screen shot 27

28 Filing Cabinet Screen shot 28

29 Short scroll versus confusing icon 29

30 Frequently used meds screen shot 30

31 Ordering tests, etc. screen shot 31

32 Search for chart by name, DOB, chart number, social security number Touch screen scroll technology Low cost Minimal installation and training downtime Increase productivity and efficiency and not decrease Staff O/H, space O/H to decrease Ease of use and yet robust for meaningful use; it needs to meet the Conflict of Priorities or Pleasing 2 different masters (concentrate on the patient and Meaningful Use) ONC-ATCB certified 32

33 Enterprise System 1. It is a MAJOR change 2. Has to improve efficiency, quality, decrease cost and increase revenue or at least NOT lose revenue 3. Has to have a champion 4. Has to have buy in by ALL 33

34 Quiz: Where was this taken? 34

35 Technology: A step ahead not a step back Has to have fun and passion Life is too short k.lee@emr-simplicity.com 35

36 Meaningful Use Terminology 1. Clinical Quality Measures (CQM) (a) 3 Core or Alternate Core (b) 3 from a menu of (a) 15 core operational objectives (b) 5 out of 10 non-core operational objectives (called another menu of 10) 36
