Meaningful Use Roadmap Stage : Eligible Hospitals

Transcription

1 Evident is dedicated to making your transition to Meaningful Use as seamless as possible. In an effort to assist our customers with implementation of the software conducive to meeting Stage 2 requirements, Evident has created a general guideline. Each facility should have contacted their Account Manager to receive their matrix and should have filled out a questionnaire and returned it prior to moving forward with Meaningful Use. Below is a list of items each facility will need before proceeding with Meaningful Use: CPOE Pharmacy Clinical Monitoring Point of Care ChartLink Clinical Vocabulary Census Application Laboratory or a Discrete Element Lab Interface Order Entry Radiology Patient Portal CCD, Patient Summary Subscription DIRECT Messaging with 3rd party HISP provider Patient Education Document Medication Management Electronic File Management Additional Disk Space May be Needed (see Security Objective) Immunization Interface Electronic Reportable Laboratory Results Interface Syndromic Surveillance Interface Core Measures CQM Submission Interface ImageLink or 3rd party PACS with URL Interface Thrive Provider EHR or 3 rd party Ambulatory Interface Physician Documentation In addition to the above, each facility will also have to perform the following: Convert to Rule Based Security (Must Implement before loading Thrive Version 19) Load Thrive Version 19 (V19) Revision Date: 07/09/2015 1

2 Quality Measures: Beginning in 2013, there will no longer be a separate objective for reporting hospital clinical quality measures (CQMs) as a part of Meaningful Use. It is important to note, however that eligible hospitals will still be required to report on clinical quality measures in order to achieve Meaningful Use. Facilities beyond their first year of reporting will be required to electronically submit CQMs. Applications needed for Clinical Quality Measures: Core Measures and Clinical Quality Measures Submission Interface * As CMS further defines electronic submission, there will be a Frequently Asked Question Published. Set-Up for objective: For further information on this objective as well as set up for this objective, please review the Quality Measures Setup and Data Collected for Quality Measures and Quality Measures Roadmap documents. How to achieve Objective: This objective is achieved by running the Quality Measures report. Information on this report will be reflective of documentation that has been put in the system to calculate Quality Measures. Path to Quality Measures report: Hospital Base Menu > Other Applications and Functions > Indicator Measurement/Core Measures > Quality Measures. Please retain a copy of this report from attestation for auditing purposes Objectives, Measures and Set-Up Core Objectives: CPOE (must meet 3 measures): Measure 1: More than 60% of medication orders created by authorized providers of the eligible hospitals ED/IP during the reporting period are recorded using CPOE. Measure 2: More than 30% of Laboratory orders created by authorized providers of the eligible hospitals ED/IP during the reporting period are recorded using CPOE. Measure 3: More than 30% of Radiology orders created by authorized providers of the eligible hospitals ED/IP during the reporting period are recorded using CPOE. Applications needed to meet Objective: CPOE, Laboratory, Radiology and Pharmacy How to achieve Objective: This objective is met by placing orders through Computerized Physician Order Entry. CPOE entails the provider s use of computer assistance to directly enter orders from a computer or mobile device. The order is also documented or captured in a digital, structured, and computable format for use in improving safety and organization. Telephone and Verbal orders count for this objective. Measure 1: Medication: DENOMINATOR: Number of medication orders created by the EP or authorized providers in the eligible hospital's or CAH's inpatient or emergency department during the EHR reporting period. Medication Orders Placed Revision Date: 07/09/2015 2

3 NUMERATOR: The number of medication orders in the denominator recorded using CPOE. Medication Orders placed that have been recorded using CPOE. Measure 2: Radiology DENOMINATOR: Number of radiology orders created by the EP or authorized providers in the eligible hospital's or CAH's inpatient or emergency department during the EHR reporting period. Radiology Orders Placed NUMERATOR: The number of radiology orders in the denominator recorded using CPOE. Number of Radiology Orders Placed that have been recorded using CPOE. Measure 3: Laboratory DENOMINATOR: Number of laboratory orders created by the EP or authorized providers in the eligible hospital's or CAH's inpatient or emergency department during the EHR reporting period. Laboratory Orders Placed NUMERATOR: The number of laboratory orders in the denominator recorded using CPOE. In 2013, CMS is adding an optional alternate measure to the objective for CPOE. Number of Laboratory Orders Placed that have been recorded using CPOE. Record Demographics More than 80% of all unique patients have demographics recorded as structured data. Applications needed to meet Objective: Census Application Set-Up for Objective: Evident suggests making the below demographics required, or a census edit set up to ensure information is captured. Race and Ethnicity Tables must now be set up to convert the old value to the new value via the following paths: Path to Race and Ethnicity Tables: Hospital Base Menu > Master Selection > Business Office Tables > Table Maintenance > Patient Tab > Race and Ethnicity. The correct value code will have to be mapped to each code created in these tables. Please note: Patients that previously had H-Hispanic or N-Non Hispanic (or the word Hispanic/Non- Hispanic) in the ethnicity field of their demographics will now be converted as such in the ethnicity field. However, if your facility did not use H/N or Hispanic/Non-Hispanic in the ethnicity field, those patient accounts/profiles may have to be manually converted. Revision Date: 07/09/2015 3

4 How to achieve Objective: The following demographics are recorded on the patients profile/visit. Race Additional races can now be recorded for patients by selecting the + sign next to race. If there are additional races recorded on a patient the Race field will change to red and will read as Races. Ethnicity DOB This field is now table driven. Preferred Language There is now a hardcoded table for this entry. Sex Date and preliminary cause of death (within hospital)- this will show a tab of paper when expired within hospital discharge code is used. The Eligible Hospital or CAH can now audit demographic changes made to the above fields on the patient s account or Profile by running any of the following reports in Report Dashboard: MU Visit Audit Report MU Profile Audit Report MU Profile and Visit Audit Report DENOMINATOR: Number of unique patients admitted to the eligible hospitals or CAH s inpatient or emergency department during the EHR reporting period. Unique Patients admitted to ED/IP during reporting period. NUMERATOR: Number of patients in the denominator who have all the elements of demographics recorded as structured data. Unique patients in denominator that have the following documented on patients profile/visit: Race Ethnicity Date of Birth Sex Preferred Language Date and Preliminary cause of Death (within hospital). Record and Chart Changes in Vital Signs More than 80% of all unique patients admitted to the eligible hospital s IP/ED during the EHR reporting period have blood pressure (for patients age 3 and over only) and height/length and weight (for all ages) recorded as structured data. Revision Date: 07/09/2015 4

5 Applications needed to meet Objective: Point of Care Set-Up for Objective: It is recommended BMI is set-up to display on patient s virtual chart. It is recommended Height and Weight and BP be set up on Flow chart and /or Eform. It is recommended Growth Charts be set up on Virtual Chart Tab. How to achieve Objective: It is recommended Height, Weight and Blood Pressure be documented through Patient Documentation- Flow Chart or EForms. DENOMINATOR: Number of unique patients admitted to the hospital s IP/ED during the EHR reporting period. Unique Patients admitted to ED/IP during reporting period. NUMERATOR: Number of patients in the denominator who have blood pressure (ages 3 and over only) and height and weight (all ages) recorded as structured data. Unique patients who have the following documented via flow chart/eform/documentation: Blood Pressure (ages 3 and over) Height Weight Record Smoking Status for Patients 13 and Older More than 80% of all unique patients 13 years or older have smoking status recorded. Applications needed to meet Objective: Census and Point of Care Set-Up for Objective: Evident suggests smoking field to be required or a census edit be set up to ensure Smoking status is captured in Census. How to achieve Objective: Smoking Status can be captured via POC/Census/E-forms. Note: If using e-forms, ensure your drop-down options reflect choices in census. The Eligible Hospital or CAH can now audit smoking status changes made on the patient s account or Profile by running any of the following reports in Report Dashboard: MU Visit Audit Report MU Profile Audit Report MU Profile and Visit Audit Report DENOMINATOR: Number of unique patients age 13 or older admitted to the eligible hospital s inpatient or emergency department during the EHR reporting period. Unique Patients 13 and older admitted to ED/IP during reporting period. Revision Date: 07/09/2015 5

6 NUMERATOR: Number of patients in the denominator with smoking status recorded as structured data. Unique patients 13 and older with smoking status documented via census/flow chart/eform/documentation. Clinical Decision Support (must meet 2 measures): Measure 1: Implement five clinical decision support interventions related to four or more clinical quality measures at a relevant point in patient care for the entire EHR reporting period. Absent four clinical quality measures related to an eligible hospital or CAH s patient population, the clinical decision support interventions must be related to high-priority health conditions. It is suggested that one of the five clinical decision support interventions be related to improving healthcare efficiency. Measures 2: The eligible hospital or CAH has enabled the functionality for drug-drug and drug-allergy interaction checks for the entire EHR reporting period. Application needed to meet Objective: Point of Care, CPOE, Lab, Radiology, Pharmacy, Clinical Vocabulary and Clinical Monitoring and Infobutton. Set-Up for Objective: Clinical Decision and the rules must be activated from the following path: Hospital Base Menu > Master Selection > Business Office Tables > Table Maintenance > Clinical > CDS Alert Configuration. Drug-Drug, Drug-Allergy Clinical Monitoring options must be set up via Nursing, Pharmacy, and/or Chartlink. The following are clinical monitoring options that must also be Used: Allergy Checking Drug Interaction Checking The following types of alerts can be activated for a user (note: some of the below alerts are being programmed at this time): Please note: At least 4 must be chosen related to clinical quality measures for entire reporting period and one of the 5 is suggested it is related to improving healthcare efficiency. Lab Tests and Values Problem List Vital Signs (Blood Pressure) Medication List Vital Signs (Body Mass Index) Demographics (Date of Birth) Problem List, Demographics, Lab Tests Discharged on Antithrombotic Therapy Anticoagulation Therapy for Atrial Fibrillation/Flutter Thrombolytic Therapy Antithrombotic Therapy by End of Hospital Day 2 Revision Date: 07/09/2015 6

7 Discharged on Statin Medication Stroke Education Assessed for Rehabilitation Venous Thromboembolism Prophylaxis Venous Thromboembolism Patients with Anticoagulation Overlap Therapy Venous Thromboembolism Patients Receiving Unfractionated Heparin with Dosages/Platelet Count Monitoring by Protocol or Nomogram Venous Thromboembolism Discharge Instructions Home Management Plan of Care Document given to Patient/Caregiver How to achieve Objective: This objective is met with real time alerting of the system based on a CDS alert and configurations and clinical monitoring options that are set up above. Evident has provided a default set of rules to be used (5 of the above), that meet the CMS criteria. Override Reasons report and Clinical Monitoring reports are available to assist with tracking compliance from the Pharmacy Department. In addition to Override Reasons and Clinical Monitoring reports, the system will now track when each CDS alert was activated/ deactivated. This can be found by choosing the specific alert in CDS alert configuration (Table Maintenance) and choosing Status History. Drug- Drug, Drug-Allergy must be used in addition to the 5 CDS alerts to meet this objective. The system will now track when each clinical monitoring option is activated/deactivated. This can be found through the following paths: Table Maintenance, Control, Prescription Entry, Clinical Monitoring, View Audit. Table Maintenance, Control, Pharmacy Control, Clinical Monitoring, View Audit. Business Office Table Maintenance, Chartlink Tables, Chartlink Clinical Monitoring, View Audit. Nursing Administration, Print Reports, Clinical Monitoring, View Audit. The EHR must also have the ability to offer diagnostic or therapeutic reference information based on Problems, Medications, Medication Allergies, Laboratory tests/values, and Vital Signs and a combination option. This will be achieved with the use of the InfoButton. Please retain a copy of all alerts activated and the status history/view audit to show alerts were on for the entire reporting period for auditing purposes. View, Download, Transmit (must meet 2 Measures): Measure 1: More than 50% of all unique patients discharged from the IP/ED during the EHR reporting period have their information available online within 36 hours of discharge. It is Evident s interpretation that Measure 1 can be met once the patient possesses all information necessary in order to know how to log onto the portal to view their information. Revision Date: 07/09/2015 7

8 Access is defined as the following: When a patient possesses all of the necessary information needed to view, download, or transmit their information. This could include providing patients with instructions on how to access their health information, the website address they must visit for online access, a unique and registered username or password, instructions on how to create a login, or any other instructions, tools, or materials that patients need in order to view, download, or transmit their information. Measure 2: More than 5% of patients (or their authorized representatives)who are discharged from the inpatient or emergency department of an Eligible Hospital or CAH view, download, or transmit to a 3 rd party their information during the EHR reporting period. Applications needed to meet Objective: Patient Portal, CCD Patient Summary Subscription, Direct Messaging with 3rd party HISP provider Network Addresses, Point of Care, Pharmacy, Laboratory, and Radiology. Set-Up for Objective: Purpose code has to be created in Release of Information for Patient Possesses Info to Access Portal. (recommend creating code PIA) Purpose code (created above) has to be entered in Release of Information Control Table: Purpose Cd for Patient Possesses Info to Access Portal. Recommended code PIA ) How to achieve Objective: (Objective can be met in 1 of 4 ways currently) 1. This objective can be met by having a valid address on the patient s registration visit screen (or their authorized provider) in the Census Application. Once the patient is then discharged, they will be sent an introductory to create a login name and user password and their patient/clinical summary (or CCD) will then be available on the patient portal for them to view. The patient portal address will be the following: The authorized representative entered in the census visit screen will also have access to the patient portal, giving the authorized representative access to the clinical information for the patient (visit they were the authorized rep on). The authorized representative should be verified each time a visit is created. 2. This objective can also be met by placing the patient portal launch onto the Point of Care Virtual Chart. The facility can follow this link and assist the patient in logging into the patient portal. Please note: This will only update the numerator of this objective if the launch is chosen previous to 36 hours after discharge (to meet Measure 1 of this objective). However this launch will stay on the virtual chart for the patient indefinitely so that the facility can instruct the patients how to log into their portal to also meet measure 2 of this objective. 3. This objective can also be met by giving the patient information regarding how to log onto the portal or education classes that will be conducted on how to log into the portal etc. Once this is done, Release of Information can be manually updated with PIA which is the code for Patient Possesses information regarding portal that was created above. 4. This objective can be met in the same way as number 3. However, this can now be an automatic process. A custom patient education document can be created and tied to the Release of Information Code (Usually PIA is used) that is found in the Patient Possesses Information regarding field in the Release of Information Control Table. Once that patient education document is given, this ROI entry will be created to update statistics. Revision Date: 07/09/2015 8

9 Users of the EHR will have the ability to control what is viewable to the patient on the patient portal. This can be achieved by building the Patient Summary/CCD via Print Electronic Record, selecting edit and choosing the information you would like to include/exclude and save document. This will save a version of the document in Print Electronic Record and Electronic File Management with the changes that have been made to the document. The most recently edited version will be what the patient (or authorized representative) sees when logged into the Patient Portal. Any unresolved problems, allergies, and/or immunizations from previous visits will appear on the patient summary (unless hidden via the edit option). Measure 1: DENOMINATOR: Number of unique patients discharged from an eligible hospital or CAH's inpatient or emergency department during the EHR reporting period.
