Resource & Patient Management System (RPMS)
• Developed in the 1980s• Over 60 software applications• Used at over 400 sites• ‘ Every little thing she does is magic’

Meaningful Use and Pop Health• Quality measures for populations
• Populated by patients• Ability to report at POC as well as export• Tracking of quality improvement
• Ability to share interoperable data with others• Immunization data sharing• Lab data sharing
• Early sentinel awareness of public health issues• Use of iCARE
• Suicidal Behavior Surveillance• CDC Nationally Notifiable Diseases• H1N1

iCare Population Management
iCare is Used to….(in descending order)• Track performance on GPRA and other national measures • Manage and track group of patients with a chronic disease • Pre-visit or clinic planning to care for patients with
appointments on a particular day • Manage and track patients assigned to specific provider• Track patients who need or have received a specific service• Track provision of age and gender-specific preventive care
services• Share panel among care team• Target needs within a geographic area or community
Facilities who are part of the IHS Learning Collaborative more frequently reported using iCare for all of these listed functions with the exception of targeting geographic areas
H1N1• Decision made on a Friday to code query and export
file • Codes reviewed/ tested/ updated on Q man queries
at large live database• Query logic developed over 4 hours- based on
previous quality work• Export logic based on previous work done on
bidirectional state based immunization data sharing• Coding done in 8 hours• Testing in 2 days on 3 mirror live data bases• First exports received within 5 working days of initial
decision• Over 400 sites with passive nightly exports to Indian
Health Service epi center• Logic shared with private vendors
Lessons Learned-orwhy could we do this?• Relied on ICD codes, not text based POV• Our “EA” had been, by luck, designed to facilitate
boolian logic queries (we knew had to have ‘function’ between the domains)
• Applications developed in the last 10 years had relied on electronic queries of different data domains
• Export files had been previously developed• Lessons learned had influenced data model
decisions as well as understanding of most efficient ways to write M queries in our system
• Logic/ data model that supported population health• EHR architecture MUST support pop health from the
beginning

Health Record to support population health
