meaningful use day of reckoning health story nick van terheyden
DESCRIPTION
Meaningful Use has entered the vernacular, and the political rhetoric is onthe healthcare pathway. But, what does it mean to me? As Victor Franklsaid, "One can choose one\'s attitude in any given set of circumstances," andwhile the picture of what Meaningful Use means to Clinical Documentationremains unclear you cannot just add water and go! To continue to be anintegral part of the successful and safe delivery of healthcare thedocumentation industry must understand the impact of healthcare legislationand Meaningful Use criteria and incorporate this into the solutions andservices they offer. This presentation will decode the requirements andtranslate these into individual and business actions to execute over thecoming year to deliver on the vision of Meaningful Use for ClinicalDocumentation.TRANSCRIPT

What is Meaningful Use?
“Meaningful use, in the long-term, is when EHRs are used by
health care providers to improve patient care, safety
and quality.”
“HIT is the means, but not the end. Getting an EHR up and running
in health care is not the main objective behind the incentives
provided by the federal government under ARRA.
Improving Health is. Promoting health care reform is.
David Blumenthal, MDNational Coordinator for HIT

Reading to Keep up – Information Overload
Today's experienced clinician needs close to 2 million pieces of information to practice medicine
Doctors subscribe to an average of seven journals representing over 2,500 new articles each year, making it literally impossible to keep up-to-date with the latest information about diagnosis, prognosis and therapy
Comparison of the time required for reading (for general medicine, enough to examine 19 articles per day, 365 days per year ) with the time available (well under an hour per week by British medical consultants, even on self-reports ).
Furthermore, the interpretation of patient data is difficult and complicated, mainly because the required expert knowledge in each of the many different medical fields is enormous and the information available for the individual patient is multi-disciplinary, imprecise and very often incomplete.

Years ago Today
This gap injures patients
Knowledge processing capacity
Knowledge processing requirement
“Current medical practice relies heavily on the
unaided mind to recall a great
amount of detailed knowledge – a
process which, to the detriment of all stakeholders, has repeatedly been
shown unreliable”

The Challenge of Narrative vs. Discrete dataBeyond convenience, quality of care at risk
The patient is a 74-year-old female who presents with a complaint of fall, she woke up this morning and had a donut for breakfast instead of her usual cheese bagel, while eating breakfast she heard the phone ringing in the upstairs bedroom. She ran upstairs to get it. She felt dizzy and fell down the stairs and broke her left foot.
Narrative Dictation Structured Entry
97% Narrative is more valuable to treating patients
96% May lose the patient’s unique story
Source: Nuance Survey with nearly 1,000 responses from physicians, Dec 2009
93% EHR does not reduce time spent documenting care
67% Reliance on keyboard and mouse […] is a major hurdle

The Challenge
Current Situation
• Wide variety of specialties/ settings/workflows
• Want to focus on patient care
• Value rich patient narrative• Want improved productivity• Comfortable with dictation
Goal: EHR Meaningful Use
Better care with accessible, up-to-date and codified patient info
Structured data for appropriate coding, billing and compliance
Reduced cost
Faster TAT
Clinician Adoption
93% EHR does not reduce time spent documenting care
67% Reliance on keyboard and mouse within an EHR is a major hurdle
97% Narrative is more valuable to treating patients
96% May lose the patient’s unique story with transition to point-and-click EHRs

Meaningful Use
“If you can not measure it, you can not improve it.”

The Solution
Support development of the industry standards needed to move information from notes into the EHR
Promote the adoption of these standards
Non profit, industry alliance
Founded 2007
Associate Charter Agreement: HL7
Sponsor HL7 standards for flow of information between narrative and EMR systems
Member organizations provide direction

Health Story Meaningful Use
Meaningful Use
Health Story Interoperability Strategy
Delivers common clinical documents to the point of care
Standardizing document types and sections today makes it easier to agree on data elements tomorrow
Incrementally adding key data elements into narrative is attractive to clinicians
Partial structuring facilitates natural language processing
Health Story’s path to Meaningful Use Hit the ground running with basic CDA, to meet the needs of front line
clinicians Incrementally layer discrete data elements into CDA documents

Actionable Next Steps
1. Providers: 1. Is your documentation vendor set
up to deliver CDA documents? If no, when?
2. Is your EHR vendor set up to receive CDA documents? If no, when?

Summary
Healthcare Technology has reached a “Tipping Point” or a “Perfect Storm”
Narrative remains the Foundation of the Clinical Record and Incorporating this into the Future is Essential
Capturing Meaningful clinical documentation is the foundation
Bridging from Narrative to Structured Clinically Actionable Data is Possible today with Healthstory
Improving the Overall Quality and Efficiency of Documentation by Offering Clinicians a Range of Tools and Services to Capture and Generate Clinical Information
These initiatives are working together to accelerate EMR adoption and can help guide successful healthcare reform
