5 Ackowledgmets This project was primarily supported through a Commuity Techology Fud/eHealth grat provided by the Nebraska Iformatio Techology Commissio, whose support for egagig members of the public about ehealth policy drove this project. Members of the Commissio, the ehealth Coucil, ad Nebraska Health Iformatio Security ad Privacy Committee provided critical advice ad expertise at every level of the project. I particular, we would like to thak Lieuteat Goveror Rick Sheehy, Deis Beres, Ae Byers, Harris Frakel, Kimberly Galt, David Lawto, Kare Paschal, Nacy Shak, Ala Tomkis, ad Sheila Wrobel for their guidace ad support. We also thak Bill Kelly of NET Televisio for servig as moderator of the deliberative discussio, ad Kathy Kroe, Kathy Castle, Joshua Ewalt, Shiree Ghorbai, ad Sarah Steimel of the Uiversity of Nebraska-Licol Departmet of Commuicatio Scieces, for their assistace i facilitatig the deliberative discussio. ii
6 Executive Summary I November of 2008, the Uiversity of Nebraska Public Policy Ceter implemeted a public iput project to gather iformatio from Nebraskas about electroic sharig of medical iformatio. Oe hudred ad sixty eight Nebraskas completed a olie or paper copy survey, ad 34 of those survey respodets also participated i a deliberative discussio. Comfortable with Sharig Medical Iformatio Electroically Nebraskas have positive views about electroic sharig of medical iformatio. Nebraskas uderstad the beefits of electroic health iformatio exchage. Nebraskas have cocers about who should have the authority to access their electroic health iformatio. Experieced with Iformatio Techology ad Healthcare Nebraskas already have moderate levels of experiece with usig techology to fid health ad isurace iformatio. Nebraskas have little experiece with usig techology to commuicate directly with healthcare providers, though they support the cocept of electroic commuicatio with healthcare providers. Wat More Cosumer Educatio about Electroic Sharig of Health Iformatio Nebraskas see a role for State govermet i educatig citizes about the use ad sharig of electroic medical records. Educatio ca icrease levels of kowledge about the issues surroudig the use ad exchage of electroic health iformatio. Educatio ca have a positive impact o Nebraskas perceptios of the use ad sharig of electroic health iformatio. Cocers with Network Vulerabilities Nebraskas are cocered about etwork vulerabilities that would compromise security of electroic health records. Nebraskas are ot overly cocered with improper access of electroic medical records by isurace compaies, employers, etc. Prefer a Idirect Role for State Govermet i Facilitatig the Sharig of Electroic Health Iformatio Nebraskas wat State govermet to educate citizes ad esure that the electroic sharig of medical records is doe i a safe ad secure maer. There was a relatioship betwee frequecy of healthcare visits ad attitudes about the role of govermet i electroic health iformatio exchage. 1
7 Sharig Health Records Electroically: The Views of Nebraskas Health iformatio techology offers the potetial for positive chages i healthcare ad health outcomes i Nebraska. Electroic sharig of medical records holds sigificat potetial because of its implicatios for healthcare quality ad cost efficiecy. Yet there are may challeges. The successful use ad exchage of electroic medical iformatio is cotiget upo a viable iformatioexchage ifrastructure, a supportive policy ad regulatory eviromet, ad cooperatio amog healthcare providers, isurace compaies, iformatio techology vedors, ad other etities. Perhaps most importatly, the success of electroic health iformatio exchage is depedet upo acceptace from cosumers. Residets of Licol/Lacaster Couty gathered to ask questios ad provide iput about electroic medical records at the Deliberative Discussio held November 17, 2008, at the Uiversity of Nebraska-Licol campus. The Uiversity of Nebraska Public Policy Ceter (PPC) orgaized a public iput project to gather iformatio ad perspectives from Nebraska residets about the electroic sharig of medical iformatio. The project was supported by a Commuity Techology Fud/eHealth grat provided by the Nebraska Iformatio Techology Commissio. The overall goal of the public iput project was to lear about cosumers attitudes towards electroic sharig of medical iformatio; related cocers about privacy, access, ad security; ad opiios about what the policy role of the State of Nebraska should be i the developmet of electroic health iformatio exchage i the state. The PPC obtaied iformatio from Nebraskas i two ways. First, the PPC surveyed a radomly-selected sample of state residets about electroic iformatio sharig ad related topics. From November 5 to November 14, 2008, 168 idividuals completed the survey either olie or through mailed paper copies. Secod, o November 17, 2008, the PPC brought together 34 of the same residets i a deliberative discussio to discuss issues related to the electroic sharig of medical records. Before the deliberative discussio, participats were set a educatioal documet. At the deliberative discussio, the participats listeed to a presetatio about electroic sharig of medical iformatio, discussed their views with each other, ad iteracted with a pael of experts before completig aother survey about the topic. More details o both of these methods, as well as the results, are preseted i Appedix A (survey) ad Appedix B (deliberatio). 2
8 Nebraskas are Comfortable with Sharig Medical Iformatio Electroically Nebraskas have favorable views about electroic sharig of medical iformatio ad uderstad its beefits. Nebraskas are cocered, though, about the authorizatio for release of electroic health iformatio. Large majorities of survey respodets agreed that electroic sharig of medical records ca decrease What excites us is beig able to medical errors (81%), reduce patiet wait times ad travel with health iformatio, ad documetatio errors (77%), reduce healthcare costs improvemets i commuicatio (71%), ad believe that the overall beefits of usig betwee providers, but also eve electroic medical records outweigh the risks (69%). withi a hospital itself. Over 50% of survey respodets also agreed that the ability to share iformatio amog multiple providers - Deliberatio Participat was the primary beefit of sharig electroic medical records, ad about 44% of survey respodets felt that a computer record system is more secure tha paper records. Accordigly, survey respodets appeared to support their providers adoptio of electroic records. Whe preseted with a hypothetical situatio where two physicias had the same exact qualificatios, but used differet records systems, 43% of respodets would choose to go to the doctor with a electroic records system, whereas oly 5% would choose the physicia with a paper oe. However, a plurality of respodets (52%) were udecided, suggestig that there may still be reservatios about electroic sharig of medical records with some idividuals. Nebraskas were somewhat divided o questios of who should be authorized to release electroic medical iformatio. I priciple, survey respodets strogly favored havig access to their persoal electroic medical records cotrolled by their physicias (90%), but fewer respodets (47%) agreed that explicit approval from the cosumer should be required before healthcare providers share iformatio with each other. Oly 37% agreed that My healthcare providers should be able to share iformatio about my health with each other without my approval. These fidigs suggest Nebraskas are comfortable with sharig electroic medical records, but there is ot a clear cosesus about who should have the authority to permit electroic sharig of those records. 3
9 Nebraskas Have a Basic Level of Experiece with Iformatio Techology ad Healthcare Nebraskas regularly use the iteret to access health or isurace iformatio. They also idicate that may of their primary care providers are usig electroic records. However, ot may Nebraskas have used the iteret to commuicate directly with their providers through , although they would like to. Nebraskas regularly use the iteret to access health iformatio, with 85% of survey respodets idicatig that they have used the iteret to search for iformatio about a health coditio or disease, ad 45% idicatig that they had used a health isurace compay s website to lear more about coverage or claim status. However, fewer Nebraskas have used the iteret to commuicate directly with healthcare providers. Oly 23% of respodets, for example, had used to commuicate with a healthcare professioal directly, although early 70% thought cosumers should be able to healthcare providers as part of their overall care. Lt. Goveror Rick Sheehy addressed participats at the Deliberative Discussio. Nebraskas reported that their healthcare providers at least partially use electroic medical records. A plurality of survey respodets (50%) reported their primary healthcare provider used both a paper ad computer-based medical records system. Eightee percet (18%) reported that their primary care provider oly used computer records, ad 17% reported their doctor oly used paper records. Nebraskas Wat More Cosumer Educatio about Electroic Sharig of Health Iformatio Nebraskas wat State govermet to take a leadig role i educatig citizes about the use ad sharig of electroic health iformatio. Moreover, cosumer educatioal efforts ca have a positive impact o kowledge about electroic medical record issues, ad icrease their favorability amog cosumers. Nebraskas would like to see State govermet take a active role i providig cosumer educatio about electroic sharig of medical iformatio. Sevety-two percet (72%) of the deliberatio participats said it was very importat for the State govermet to educate Nebraskas about electroic health iformatio exchage. Educatio ca icrease kowledge of the issues. Deliberatio participats were asked two idetical factual questios i the origial survey ad at the ed of the deliberatio ( How may small physicia practices curretly use electroic medical records? ad What is the Federal law that covers the security ad privacy of electroic medical records? ) to test whether the iformatio provided to them prior to the deliberative evet icreased kowledge. For both questios, the percetage of respodets who correctly aswered each questio icreased from 40% to 66% (small physicia practices) ad 45% to 70% (Federal law). 4
10 Cosumer educatio may also foster favorable attitudes towards electroic sharig of medical iformatio. After participatig i the deliberatio where a expert pael discussed the pros ad cos of electroic health iformatio exchage 63% of participats believed computerbased records were more secure tha paper records. This was a substatial icrease from the 44% of survey respodets who believed a computer-based records system better preveted improper access to persoal iformatio tha a paper oe. Similar icreases i favorable attitudes towards electroic sharig of health iformatio were see followig the deliberative discussio. The percetage of idividuals agreeig that the use of electroic records reduces patiet costs icreased from 58% to 97%, ad the percetage who agreed that electroic records make it easier to esure patiet privacy icreased from 45% to 81%. Nebraskas Have Cocers with Network Vulerabilities Nebraskas believe electroic records systems are geerally secure. They are cocered, however, with potetial vulerabilities of their electroic records to uauthorized access. There is less cocer with iappropriate use of their health iformatio by healthcare providers, isurace compaies, ad employers. Pleary paelists at the Deliberative Discussio (L to R): Nacy Shak of the NU Public Policy Ceter, Lt. Gov. Rick Sheehy, Dr. Harris Frakel of the Nebraska Health Iformatio Iitiative, ad Dr. David Lawto of Nebraska Health ad Huma Services. Nebraskas are geerally comfortable with the security of electroic medical records. Nearly two-thirds (63%) of the deliberatio participats idicated they believed that electroic medical records best prevet improper access to medical iformatio, compared to oly 9% who thought paper records were more secure. 5
11 There are still security cocers however. Asked what the biggest potetial problems were with electroic health iformatio exchage, survey respodets idicated they were most cocered with etwork vulerabilities such as computer hackig (35%) ad iteret or commuicatio outages (33%). Nebraskas were less worried with misuse of their The cocers we had were the broad security ad privacy issues... the reliability of the system if it were to go dow, ad how errors i records would be dealt with. - Deliberatio Participat electroic health iformatio. Oly small umbers of survey respodets were cocered with iappropriate use of their health iformatio by their employers (12%), isurace compaies (8%), or healthcare providers (4%). Nebraskas Prefer a Idirect Role for State Govermet i Facilitatig the Sharig of Electroic Health Iformatio There was o strog preferece for direct govermet activity i ecouragig the use ad sharig of electroic medical records. However, deliberatio participats supported a role for govermet i cosumer educatio, ad esurig the security ad privacy of medical iformatio. Cosumer support for govermet activity may be related to how frequetly idividuals seek healthcare. About half the survey respodets (52%) idicated State govermet should have a role i ecouragig doctors to use electroic medical records. A slightly smaller amout of respodets (48%) believed that the State should have a role i ecouragig isurace compaies to use electroic medical records. There was somewhat less support for Federal govermet ivolvemet. Forty-five percet (45%) ad 41% of respodets respectively thought the Federal govermet should have a role ecouragig doctors ad isurace compaies to electroically share medical iformatio. Large percetages of deliberatio participats felt it was very importat for State govermet to esure the privacy ad security of health iformatio (84%), ad provide iformatio to cosumers about health iformatio security ad privacy (72%). There was also support for the State to facilitate public-private parterships to exchage health iformatio (59%), ad regulate health iformatio etworks (53%). Relatively small percetages felt that it was very importat for State govermet to provide icetives (9%) or grats (9%) to ecourage or to require the use of electroic records systems. May of the group members seemed to thik that the govermet could be trusted to do a good job, but there was a vocal miority that expressed a strog aversio to govermet ivolvemet. - Kathy Castle, Deliberatio Facilitator Idividuals who iteract with health providers more frequetly may be less iclied to support a role for govermet i ecouragig electroic health iformatio exchage. For example, idividuals who visited their primary care physicia oce or o times i the past 6
12 year were more likely to support a role for State govermet (65%) i ecouragig doctors to use electroic medical records tha those who visited their primary care physicias two or more times last year (41%). Thus, there may be a relatioship betwee frequecy with which idividuals visit healthcare providers, ad the degree of support they have for a govermet role i electroic sharig of medical iformatio. Recommedatios for Further Research Fidigs from this public iput project idicate that Nebraskas are geerally comfortable with ad supportive of electroic medical records ad iformatio exchage, ad uderstad the beefits of electroic sharig of health iformatio. Nebraskas also use iformatio techology to gather iformatio about health ad health isurace. Nebraskas are, however, somewhat cocered with security ad privacy issues surroudig electroic health iformatio exchage. A cosumer educatio effort may icrease uderstadig ad support for greater electroic health iformatio exchage, ad Nebraskas would welcome a State govermet role i providig educatio to the public about these issues. Additioal research with a expaded sample size should be doe to further examie Nebraskas attitudes towards these ad related issues. Particular iquiries should be made ito cosumer prefereces regardig authorizatio for release of electroic health iformatio, ad the relatioship betwee how frequetly cosumers visit healthcare providers, ad the degree of support they have for govermet ivolvemet i electroic health iformatio exchage. Participats i the November 17th discussio deliberated about security, privacy, ad policy issues related to electroic sharig of medical iformatio i small group sessios. 7

15 Appedix A: Methods ad Results Methods The survey was developed by the Public Policy Ceter i cosultatio with a workig group composed of members of Nebraska s ehealth Coucil a advisory committee created by the Nebraska Iformatio Techology Commissio to make recommedatios about electroic health techologies ad the Health Iformatio Security ad Privacy Committee (HISPC) a advisory committee which focuses o health iformatio security ad privacy cocers. The workig group also provided cosultatio o overall project desig. The Uiversity of Nebraska-Licol Istitutioal Review Board provided review ad approval of the study. The PPC targeted residets of Nebraska from three differet areas to participate i the survey: 1) Licol/Lacaster Couty; 2) Omaha/Douglas Couty; ad 3) a six-couty area i cetral Nebraska surroudig Kearey (Adams, Buffalo, Dawso, Hall, Kearey, ad Phelps). Prospective survey respodets were cotacted by letter through postal mail by the PPC. Cotact iformatio was obtaied from lists derived from radom digit dialig or publicly available residetial addresses obtaied by the PPC i previous public opiio projects. A estimated 1,610 households were cotacted by a mailed letter, ivitig prospective respodets to complete the survey olie. Idividuals who preferred to complete a paper versio of the survey had the optio of cotactig the PPC ad requestig that a paper copy be set to them with a busiess reply evelope. Staff from the PPC also telephoed 282 prospective respodets ad ecouraged them to complete the survey.

The use of electroic medical records ca lower my healthcare costs by reducig uecessary tests ad procedures. If doctors ad researchers were able to share iformatio more easily via electroic medical systems; patiets could receive better care based o curret scietific kowledge. Patiets should have access to their ow electroic medical record maitaied by their physicia. Patiets should have access to their ow electroic medical record through a orgaizatio ot liked with their providers. Medical offices should provide patiets with the ability to schedule appoitmets via or o the iteret. Patiets should be able to their doctors as part of their overall care.

29 Appedix B: Deliberative Discussio Methods ad Results Deliberative Discussio Upo completio of the survey, the Public Policy Ceter ivited a sub-sample of respodets from the Licol/Lacaster Couty area to participate i a deliberative discussio about electroic sharig of medical iformatio ad related topics. The format for the discussio was based about the deliberative pollig model. 1 I deliberative pollig, a survey is coducted of a radom sample of idividuals about the public policy issue(s) of iterest. That sample is the provided with educatioal materials about the issues of iterest, ad the ivited to participate i small group deliberatios about the issue ad egage a pael of experts i a questio-ad-aswer period. A followup survey of the sample is the coducted which measures the extet to which the deliberative process altered opiios or kowledge of the topic(s) of iterest. A deliberative doll thus measures chages i attitudes towards the topic(s) of iterest amog a sample of idividuals who have become more iformed about a issue. The deliberative discussio was coveed o the eveig of November 17, 2008, at the campus of the Uiversity of Nebraska-Licol. Prior to the discussio, a educatioal documet was set to all participats to review before the deliberatio. Thirty-four survey respodets atteded the deliberative discussio. The forum icluded a 1) presetatio about electroic sharig of medical iformatio by a expert from the Nebraska Departmet of Health ad Huma Services; 2) small group discussio sessios amog participats facilitated by graduate studets from the Uiversity of Nebraska- Licol Departmet of Commuicatio Studies; ad 3) a questio ad aswer sessio with a expert pael composed of members from the Nebraska ehealth Coucil, HISPC, ad the Lt. Goveror. Followig the expert pael sessio, a post-deliberative discussio survey was admiistered amog participats.
