A Marriage of Two Initiatives: Clinical Transformation and Technology Clinical Improvements (PCMH) Comprehensive Care Access to Care Improved Self Management Quality Reporting Care Coordination Pre-Planning Technology Enhancements EMRS HIE Interfaces ADT information Home Care Data 9 Three Levels Of Practices A - Level Practices: PCMH Certified or Close to Submitting EMR and High use of electronic resources B - Level Practices Live on an EMR though may be new adopters Began PCMH Activity though had not achieved certification Were not connected to the HIE C - Level Practices (Offered the most services) No EMR No Organized PCMH activity No Connectivity to the HIE 10 5
An Introduction to the Benefits Realized for the Value of Health IT Diabetic Patient Outcomes Objective: Demonstrate chronic disease can be managed at the population level as well as patient level Population Improvement Overall improvement in HgbA1C HgbA1C of 7.0 or showed improvement LDL of 100 or showed improvement Systolic BP below 130 Diastolic BP below 80 or showed improvement http://www.himss.org/valuesuite 11 HEALTHeLINK Case Study Ranged from small rural practices to large FQHCs in urban setting Approach All practices selected, purchased and installed an EHR from a preapproved list of 10 different vendors 80 practices were eligible to participate in the NYS PCMH improvement initiative Diabetic population was targeted for improvement Performance data using NCQA sampling techniques and standardized tool from ACP were collected and analyzed Processes, practices and EHR templates were optimized Results: Improvements range from baseline performance 13.4 to 81.1 % 12 6
Population Health What factors affect the health of a community? Education Employment Income Family/social support Access to care Quality of care Physical Environment 20% Clinical Care 10% Health Behaviors 30% Social and Economic Factors 40% Tobacco use Diet/exercise Alcohol use Unsafe sex Erie County Ranks 56 th of 62 Counties in NYS for 2013 www.countyhealthrankings.org Source: Prevention Institute, July 2003 13 From Paper to EMR then on to PCMH Excellence CTG developed 45 project tools for distribution to each site Policy /Procedures, call logs, and other PCMH tools were created Baseline statistics collected for PCMH using a standardized tool from ACP Each practice conducted Diabetic outcome quality studies. Consistent sampling was conducted at each site using NCQA sampling selection methodology The consultants demonstrated how chronic disease can be managed at a population level, and at the exam level by including template EHR changes. This created an eye opening example for the practices to begin their journey towards quality, pay for performance, and meaningful use. Offered access to local HIE Developed worklfow with enhanced technology to drive better outcomes 14 7
