Comments from Respondents Need for Standardization Integration with EMR Strong Business Case Data Ownership Lack of standardization among vendors. Need for standardized vocabulary and well-defined operational definitions of data fields. Information coming from another provider needs to be integrated in our EMR. There should be a query and retrieve function. There needs to be increased willingness to share patient data among providers. Currently difficult to directly show improved outcomes as a result of investment. Payers still own data, so it is difficult to retrieve. Inability to convert all the data from over 300 systems into one data warehouse in a usable fashion Integration with outside data, integration into workflow Access to data from disparate platforms due to cost, politics, and restrictions on proprietary code Depends on how you define interoperability. ehealth Initiative Survey Fall 2016
Overall Trends Strong agreement that interoperability is needed for value-based care Majority of respondents did not feel interoperability was decreasing healthcare costs in their organizations, and many expect their budgets for IT to increase in the coming years ehealth Initiative Survey Fall 2016
Overall Trends Connectivity across provider organizations is most important to organizations. Exchanging data for regulatory reporting and industry wide data for research purposes is not as important connectivity area for payer, provider and HIE organizations. Majority felt federal policies and regulations are not currently sufficient to help the nation achieve interoperability by 2020, however majority believe more federal incentives are needed. ehealth Initiative Survey Fall 2016

Give Clinicians an Hour Back Each Day: Interoperability with Epic Care Everywhere Objective Increase clinical efficiency and enhance care quality by improving connectivity between ambulatory practice and referring hospitals. Agenda Challenges associated with care coordination Benefits of clinical integration Anticipated outcomes Next steps
Background/Overview Multi-specialty ambulatory clinic, 230 providers Physician-owned, autonomous Provide specialty care for two large hospital systems who use Epic Care Everywhere Ongoing dialogue with hospital leadership about care coordination/improving communication Ongoing internal dialogue about efficiency, clerical burden, and time spent with patients Dr. Craig Fausel
Challenges Associated With Care Coordination
CHALLENGE: Current Referral Process Costs Providers and Staff Time and Lacks Agility Hospital System Via Fax, phone Ambulatory Practice Create Chart e-referral Schedule Visit(s) Request Records Attach Records Into Chart Review Chart Document Visits Med Asst. Chart Review Visits Occur MD Chart Review Via PDF/Fax Chart Notes Sent Via PDF/Fax Key challenges 1. Staff invest significant time retrieving and attaching data to chart 2. Physicians lose time reviewing attached data that isn t integrated into chart 3. Important data can be overlooked 4. Missing data is not easy to obtain in real time
Benefits of Clinical Integration
INNOVATION: Interface with Hospital System Increases Clinical Efficiency and Enhances Care Quality Hospital System Ambulatory Practice Via CCDA Create Chart e-referral Schedule Visit(s) Request Records Integrate data Into Chart Review Chart Med Asst. Chart Review MD Chart Review Key benefits 1. Referral data integrated into chart Document Visits Visits Occur Via CCDA Chart Notes Sent 2. Physicians spend less time searching for data 3. Administrative staff spend less time. preparing charts Via CCDA 4. Missing clinical data easy to obtain in real time before patient leaves
Anticipated Outcomes
Ambulatory Practices Gain Efficiency The Oregon Clinic expects providers to gain 60 min/day per provider in chart efficiency. Normally changing healthcare is hard, but in this case we think it will be really easy. - Tim Fitzgerald, Director of IT, The Oregon Clinic
Health System Sees Clinical Benefits From the Integration Working in the ED on Saturday night, I was able to access labs recently done at The Oregon Clinic for a patient I was seeing. Having the recent labs for comparison was so helpful in the clinical care of this patient. Access from the Epic side was seamless and looks just like other local (Epic) facilities in Care Everywhere. Thanks so much for your hard work on this important tool that will no doubt help countless patients our organizations care for together. - Dr. Andy Zechnich, CMIO, Providence Health System
